    10K Service for 2016 egolf SE

    Now I got the 10k inspection notification on the display as well. Funny enough for the last 4 weeks it was warning me that "inspection and oil service" was coming up and I am wondering if that is just a thing of the ICE age. Anyway, if not mandatory and not really that meaningful, how do I turn...

    Infotainment problems. Screen turned white.

    Last week my screen did not white out, it just went black (after a 10 minute stop at the grocery) no matter which button was pressed. It was quite warm but not crazy hot outside. This was only the screen, the radio kept playing, could be turned on and off and when turning off the radio the usual...

    Key Fob Battery Life

    This just started on my 10 month old key fob. I ignored it for a week but the notification kept coming. When I opened the key I found a 2025 type battery which I did not have. But I did have ample of the more common 2032 batteries which are about a millimeter or 0.04" thicker. Diameter is...

    Safety Recall 93B4 2015-2016 e-Golf Unexpected Shutdown

    Update...yes, the climate control modification worked. It stays now always where I set it.

    Safety Recall 93B4 2015-2016 e-Golf Unexpected Shutdown

    Ah, she mentioned another customer who requested that but did not say it was not done then. I did however supply the information from the separate thread here about climate control and maybe that helped them to figure it out?

    Safety Recall 93B4 2015-2016 e-Golf Unexpected Shutdown

    I just got the recall update done at VW Pasadena. I did not buy the car there because the sales person was beyond annoying but the service department is actually really good. Friendly and helpful people, if you go there ask for Wendy. I also requested the climate control update and they did...

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    For now I gave up on the programmed delayed charging. Actually it does not matter if car-net or the built-in menu of the entertainment system, both input options are synchronized but won't work with my L2 charger. Funny enough, it does work with the Delphi Level1 charger that came with the car...

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    They told me it is a problem on VW side. But after all that is kind of finger pointing and I consider it a mutual compatibility issue. Apparently other charger suppliers got a handle on it.

    Understanding charging speeds 3.6 vs 7.2kwh 1,2,3 levels

    Sorry, this site does not seem to have a tong-in-cheek smiley. What I meant is that I would spend money unwisely for a feature I don't need and can use it for a better purpose. Like saving for retirement or donating to charity. But then, the idea of food and wine is not that bad, after all. May...

    And the drama expands...to gas cars

    While driving, the electric motor transforms into an oil spewing 2-stroke engine. As soon as you open the hood, it reverts back.

    Autocross?

    Just a curiosity question. Did anybody try and take an e-Golf (or Leaf or similar) to an auto-cross (a.k.a Solo2) event? It would obviously need stickier tires. But otherwise I suspect with the great low-speed torque, low COG and shift-less acceleration it might be a fun thing to do. A bit on...

    Monster Mats or other aftermarket mats for MK7 will not fit.

    I got the one-fits-all mats from CostCo and just cut them to size. Works? - Yes Perfect fit? - Almost Anybody going to see a difference? - Unlikely Cheap? - Absolutely

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    Oh, did not know that. So maybe it is just me that it does not work....But then, the Clipper Creek tech apparently knew something. Anyway, I read somewhere else here that setting the low-rate timer can confuse the software. Tonight I will just set the departure time to the end of the night rate...

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    Did anybody figure out a work-around for the Clipper Creek chargers in the meantime? I bought the LCS25 before I read about the problems with delayed charging here. My 2016SE does not wake up when scheduled and does not stop charging when the low rate time is up. However, when I just unlock the...

    Understanding charging speeds 3.6 vs 7.2kwh 1,2,3 levels

    That is a bit bit judgmental, I guess...You may call it cheap but it is exactly what I need (and maybe some other folks, too). In the 4 weeks that I have the car (2016SE) I have yet to use a public charging station (some have the charm and cleanliness of a public restroom anyway). I just do my...

    The Lie O Meter, new high?

    I have no data for this car but know that opening the windows wide generally screws up the carefully crafted aerodynamics, due to the vortices it generates. But I have no idea if that is more drag loss than the fan power would be using. That said, I am not a hypermiler and leave A/C-heat set at...

    Bluetooth question

    Same car. iPhone6 and Bluetooth work no problem.

    Time/Date setting / Bluetooth / USB cable iPhone connection

    I have that same 2016 SE and no trouble with iPhone 6 whatsoever. Works on Bluetooth, connects with USB for apps (and charges), time seems O.K. Knock on wood. Maybe there is something really broken in your car.

    2016 SE charging times

    Since the LCS20 has exactly the rating of the car charge input I did not want it to be the limiting factor. Always good to have some reserve and not to utilize a power supply to its spec limit. Does it make a difference? I don't know. Since it is now hard wired, I can not hook up my 240V power...
