BTW I think I like the AP2000 better than OBD11... for anyone wondeering what to get. OBD11 wants to charge you more to use more features in it like battery programming. It also has "quick erase" unlike ODBeleven which wants to scan for codes first. Both make you log in to their server...

Upon re-readig this thread, I think My A/C might have a voltage leak.. I wonder if i can disconnect it for diagnosis.. I guess I could.. now i have to find out where it is located..

$1700.. damn. i saw that repair done on youtube and I don't think it shoudl cost that much. I would call around to a few other dealers service dept and ask them how much they charge for that repair.. and if it's a lot less, call VW to complain. Keep us updated.

Upon further ownership and reading up, one cause of this is that the locking cyclinder above the charge port doesn't fully retract and the egolf thinks it's still plugged in. check to see if it's protruding and if it is, push it in with your finger, a key, or screwdriver etc and see if that...

Luckily my problem is that sometimes i have to manually push it in, vs it not coming out.. althrough i think it did happen once or twice but worked again shortly later.. I have to wonder if temp changes cause the metal to expand so it has too much friction.. I bet I could probably ream out the...

What was the solution?

You might want to try turning the car off, then on, then off again.. and hitting the unlock button. That worked for me once. I keep a screw driver in the rear passenger door pocket for the times the plug doesn't want to unlock and have to hit that silver rod/button thing mentioned above...

OBD scans from the start trouble codes then asks if you want to erase them. I believe it was 19. i beleve it was electrical system STOP error.

I think i responded on fb or reddit. I'm thinking the pin going in and out it's working like it's supposed to, as a consequence of instructions. it's not charging for some other reason. That's just my guess.

from ashburn va? i think i bought that car. VW said they should change the JX1 module for $3k. needless to say i'm still just charging it with the ign ON. I'm really enjoying the car though.

All Egolf owners should keep an OBDeleven or Autel AP2000 bluetooth dongle in their car so they can reset that STOP problem and be able to drive their car again. I took my car in and they said they should replace the JX1 model for $3,000. I just keep resetting it and keep on driving. it's...

I was hoping this thread had done weight value. Sometimes steel wheels are lighter than aluminum.

Did they show you or tell you where the damage was? I might be having this same issue.

on my 15se you pull the handle slightly then on the underside of the lock cover you use the key to pry the lock cover off, it comes all the way off, not flip up.. and the handle has to be pulled open slightly so that it has room to come off, otherwise the handle holds it on. then the lock...

you guys with the non answers weren't helpful.

most mine has estimated is 91 ... any tips?

1. The E-golf does have a BMS battery management system. If you change the battery you should update the registration so it charges the new battery like a new battery and not an old battery. 2.If your car has a battery problem and error pops up, you will need to clear the codes after...

When my egolf things the connector is still connected I go out to the socket and use my key to push that little silver pin above teh socket it and then the egolf realizes the socket is no longer connect. i've heard some oil that pin to fix it. i've tried.. it seems to help.. but it still...

Isolation is a great idea.. Maybe buy two or more larger 12v batteries.. charge them up.. then use one isolated while recharging others with the egolf via jumper cables. This also gives you the ability to use larger batteries say from a bmw or a truck.. In theory everything in the egolf should...

Here's an update: There is a recoding section when using the vw software and the Autel AP200. You probably want to recode the battery when you change it. As I understand it the car's computer monitors the battery over time and changes how it charges it. If you have an old weaker battery it...
