I just replaced the 12v battery on my 2019 SEL with a higher capacity AGM battery. VW's service told me that a new battery has to be coded, and so I assumed that was true. But someone on the e-golf subreddit just said that you only need to code batteries on ICE Golfs because coding is only...

The 12 volt battery on my 2019 SEL needs to be replaced and the dealer is asking over $500 for the battery, labor and "programming the battery to the vehicle." What the hell does programming the battery mean? Plus they don't have it in stock and I have no idea how long it will take for them to...

One of the first things I did when I got my egolf was create a charging timer for one day a week which I set to 80% max charge. This would charge my battery up to 80% no matter when I plugged in, and that has been working like a charm for almost two years. But the last few days it stopped...

I use ACC a lot and I've had a handful of times where the ACC just suddenly turned off with the message "ACC not available" on the dash. Usually I can turn it right back on, but yesterday I couldn't turn it on for a minute or two. ACC turning off unexpectedly on the freeway can result in a...

I'm not thrilled with the underpowered USB port in the center console and I'm using the 12v plug for my dashcam, so I can't use it for a better USB charger. I'm wondering two things. Can a dashcam noticeably affect battery drain? And would using something like https://amzn.to/2SJZuav affect...

The last couple of days I'm having major problems with the Car-net Android app. When I first launch it, it is taking forever before it asks me for the pin. And then after I enter the pin it tries to connect for too long then I get the following error: "We're Sorry Something went wrong and we're...

One of the things that bugged me the second I started using this car is that the USB port is under a door flap but there is no channel for the cable to exit through the door, so you have to keep the door open when you're plugged in. I was planning to take a Dremel to the door and make my own...

I don't know if this is normal or if I have something wrong with my car but the range on this thing is completely erratic and unreliable. And so I can never trust it, which makes me nervous to drive the car very far. This weekend I drove 22 miles away and recorded my range at different points of...

I know that driver personalization is supposed to store the driving mode but every time I set it to Eco it goes back to Normal the next time I start the car. How do I get the car to save Eco as the desired driving mode? Also, is there any way to reload the last recuperation mode you used? So if...

Prior to this car, whenever I streamed music from my phone over bluetooth, if I received a notification from an app that notification sound would play over bluetooth. But in this car if I'm streaming music over bluetooth and receive a notification the notification sound is not played. Is...

Hello, new member here. I just got a SEL today and I'm shocked by how long a full charge takes with the provided charger so I'd like to upgrade to something that will charge faster. Are there any solid go-to chargers that you guys recommend? I can put in a 220 plug or hardwire as necessary...
