    e-manager icon disappeared?

    OK everything is back where it ought to be and car-net is working well again. It must have been the app's response to issues with the server/database.

    e-manager icon disappeared?

    Suddenly the e-manager icon is missing from my Android car-net app (I think? also Destinations?). On the app only Remote, Manage, and Setup icons are shown. At any rate, there used to be four -- and I could see my trips. Anyone else have this issue and/or know why? I do not think that the app...

    2016 EGolf Problem Switching Modes

    Is this recommended in the manual? I change modes while moving all the time without any issues.* * apart from that one time I accidentally hit the Start/Stop button that is right next to the Mode button on the 2016 SE: the car stopped immediately. An obvious UI design flaw that VW will surely...

    Delphi 120 volt 12 amp portable charger showing 'power fault

    Thank you for posting this to the forum; it might help other e-Golfers. I had a similar issue that was easily fixed by our electrician.

    2018 Gen 8 e-Golf to have 186 real mile range

    I agree -- and VW had better not miss the boat on this because there are probably many current e-Golf lessees who, like me, have deposits on the Tesla Model III. If VW wants to stay competitive in the US, it needs to release its high range EV at least at the same time as Model III. Otherwise it...

    Regenerative Braking Drive Modes Gimmicky?

    My e-Golf never "jerks" while driving in B mode -- it is as SMOOTH AS BUTTER. It would only jerk that if you shifted from D to B at speed.

    Dangerous E-Golf Shut Downs

    Ron you are right on the money here. This is an especially important issue with the 2016 SE because the Mode button is right next to the Start/Stop button: that's two design flaws in one. First, changing Modes ought to be accessible on the steering wheel and not next to the Start/Stop button. If...

    Car-Net down?

    Thanks Joules. If they want my $17.99/mo when the free part expires, they will have to do better than this. It really ought to be reliable.

    Car-Net down?

    I phoned car-net and was told to press the 'I' car-net button in the car, wait for a while, and try again. Pressing the button did connect a call (cancelled before anyone answered); hopefully the kinks will be worked out and the car will be reporting range etc. via the app shortly.

    Car-Net down?

    Hi Joules, I opened the door and all I can see is "102 miles". Was I looking in the wrong place?

    Car-Net down?

    Today: "Your request to flash the lights has failed, please try again later." ; last update yesterday evening. This is after the 93B4 "sudden stop" recall update at the dealer's yesterday, not sure if there is any relationship. I have had the eGolf for five days: is this common (site down, or no...
