EVgo is replacing a lot of the "handles" (According to Plugshare) at a good percentage of charing stations here in West Los Angeles (so we're out a ton of chargers), but I'd be interested in seeing if they work with the new handles on my 2016 eGolf SE. I've had very minimal issues with EVgo in...

🤯 HOLY SH*T! I would have tried shopping around for different pricing for that repair. Knowing that it has to do with the high-voltage system, they probably hiked that price through the roof!

This is still my most common glitch/problem with my eGolf. I’ve just learned to live with it 😕

Found one on Etsy. Could this be the sticker you're looking for...

I replaced my 2016 eGolf 12V battery the end of 2022 & my dealership wanted to charge $254.00 + installation (priced $217.72 for the exact battery on VW's parts website). For reference, I live in Los Angeles. My service advisor gave me $20.0 off the cost of the battery. Isn't that a b*tch!! I...

Also works for Southern California. Thanks!

That's what I suspected. Thanks.

Not entirely sure if my infotainment system has compatible CarPlay (I assumed it did). It doesn't ask to connect to my iPhone when I have the phone in Bluetooth mode or when I have my iPhone plugged into the eGolf via the charging cable. Perhaps it is not compatible. Would infotainment software...

I know I'm terribly late to the party with getting Apple CarPlay setup in the eGolf, but after trying 2 or 3 times back when first I got the car & not succeeding, I figured it wasn't too necessary. Now, I'm just curious if I can get it to actually wok in my car. I have a 2016 VW eGolf SE & about...

Interesting...well, I took the eGolf in to the dealer on Nov 26, 2017 & they replaced some parts (under warranty) and it hasn't happened since (until now). Yes, I was happy I hadn't gotten the silly radio outage (just volume) problem happening & thought it was a fixed issue :) . It happened to...

Yes, I feel the same (not too much to worry about since I doesn’t happen too frequently). Thanks JoulesThief.

Could be rust/oxidation...it does happen after I wash the car... How would I check this without having the car lifted by jacks/hydraulic lifts?

Super low (city driver)- 2016 egolf leased Nov 2016 (1 yr 6 mo). 5,715 total miles driven. Was nervous about the 7,500 mi/year limitation when I was reading/signing paperwork, but knew I drove very little anyway ;)

I've been hearing a loud, metal-on-metal sounding scraping noise after I release the parking brake and start to move (either forward or backward) after being parked a while and wondered what this is. Has anyone else ever heard this? Sounds like it may be coming from the back wheels...Sounds very...

Slow down... on longer trips... and get more range between recharges. Seems counter intuitive, but that's the way it is with the current versons of the VW e-Golfs. You can discharge it 3x as fast as you can recharge it, if you drive it fast, at a L2 public charger. 5 hours to recharge, empty in...

I recently had my radio stop playing on a short, everyday drive. Infotainment system was still operational (pushed buttons responded), but I had no sound from the radio. Once I restarted the car, the radio was back to normal. Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks, Grandma. I figured as much. I love the fact that electrical engineers are available to answer silly "uninformed electrical engineer's" questions.

Anyone have any proof of where you are legally allowed to park for free with HOV stickers? I've heard Santa Monica & Pasadena but have never tried either local. I just got a parking ticket in Culver City today (newly metered) with my HOV stickers very visible. Should I contest the ticket? I've...

Yes JoulesThief, it may seem like I race around like a bat outta hell on these LA streets (& I'm not gonna lie, I do occasionally like <10% of the time), but I don't as much now that I don't have the control that I used to (2003 5 speed GTI). I was & still am upset that I was getting minimal...

I have been experiencing the same as most of you (after 6 months of free Carnet, the features have stopped). I went & looked at my VW paperwork and Carnet booklet, all of which say the same "3 year complementary service". I usually check my charging status, lock & unlock my egolf from my...
