Zivko -- you should have mentioned you're from Europe; although we have some from overseas, most here are from the US or Canada so wouldn't be of much help to you -- best of luck !

You can however typically get an e-Golf serviced at your local VW dealer as many have sent their service tech's to get certified on the routine work -- always check with whoever you use locally (as I did) before I bought my 'slightly' used one which was simply a great car at a 50% discount off...

VW concentrating on their new I.D. line of EV's ... http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/2020-vw-golf-heres-what-expect?utm_source=DailyDrive20180129&utm_medium=enewsletter&utm_term=headline-center&utm_content=body&utm_campaign=awdailydrive The powertrain option that the next Golf is not...

I was also experiencing an unability to remove the charging cable from the car, tried EVERYTHING - including an emergency procedure detailed in the owners manual (press the unlock button on the key fob and full charge button next to the charge port) and it just would not unlock. Called VWOA...

Thought I would add a new post to put this one in the 'active' section so more top of mind for current e-Golf owner's; over on the LEAF forum lots more discussion about Tesla in general but not exactly productive (shorting stock, Tesla is doomed to fail, etc.) -- although it may be some time...

This link also mentions that it will cost MORE using 120V vs 240V based on how utilities bill you for usage; I thought that Tesla's online charging cost estimator would also show you 120V charging but doesn't as its not all that practical for a long-range EV -- if you happen to be close to a...

Looks like you're still trying to sell it in the NJ area -- (according to the link); I'll need to trade-in or sell my e-Golf soon as well so will be curious what price you end up selling it for Best of luck with the sale !

Yet another car-net update (was forced to delete and reinstall on my iPhone, notice sent to me via email on 7/13), EV only functions still working and the whole 'e-Golf is unlocked' push notice is now back BUT I did like the fact that regardless of if this app works, I can easily override the...

Not sure what else might be running but I do lock the doors when I'm charging it overnight as its easier to take the charging nozzle out; leaving it unlocked seems to confuse the whole locked charged nozzle set up that VW insisted on using. As another aside, my 'trial' for Car-net (put in quotes...

The new app version can also be funny as well ... when VW service was working on my car, I kept getting a notice that my windows were open and there was a moderate change for rain ! Using iOS on an older 5s iPhone the 'unlocked doors' notice actually gets sent pretty quickly but could be your...

Follow up and to close this out -- car still was running fine but did not want to get stranded so had VW service check it out -- they found fault U040100 set in the brake booster but it was invalid for the ECM and they didn't find any other faults so they sent a case to VW; VW said OK to erase...

I'm bringing the car in to my VW dealer this Wednesday so they can check it out BUT my 'health' indicator in Car-net shows an 'Engine Control' malfunction (text starts with Engine Control malfunction, engine may be misfiring ...) but of course we don't have an 'engine' we have an electric motor...

Agree that the service outfit that maintains this is pretty awful; it took me a number of calls, as well as callbacks, etc. to finally get only the 'free' EV functions that actually do work fine with the e-Golf working properly; mine is good through Oct 2018 and also (at least at this stage)...

+1 on the above comments; bought mine used and it took a number of attempts (I did initially 'sign up' for a 90-day trial and switched to the free version afterwards) but CarNet is working well; charge timer, percent charge, HVAC preconditioning -- which is quite good in the cold weather all...

+1 on the 10 years or more service life of EVSEs; the Schneider EVlink 1st gen EVSE I used with my LEAF originally needed its circuit board updated to handle the 7.2 kW charge rate of my e-Golf which they actually provided me well out of the original warranty period at no charge (my unit is...
