    New owner - 2 things I'm trying to solve

    Hi, your car should be charging when you tell it to, mine was having a lot of problems and eventually they bit the bullet and replaced the AX4 charger module. An ~$1800 part and a new 12V battery. Charges perfectly now no matter what charger I use, I have a Siemens Versicharger at home and have...

    Passenger seat occupancy sensor

    I appreciate the advice, but the bottle was new and unopened, so I wasn't too worried about that. The armrest blocks the 2nd cup holder when it is slid forward to make my slouching drive home easier. When I did open the bottle I used the cup-holder.

    Passenger seat occupancy sensor

    Has anyone else experienced something this? And can some of you try to replicate it? Yesterday was the first really hot day we've had here and something odd happened. I place a bottle of soda on the passenger seat and started driving, about 15 seconds later the seat belt warning light turned on...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    When the electrician upgraded my electric he said something like that, and then proceeded to pound an 8' copper rod into the ground! I didn't think he'd be able to with the rocks, but he did it. eGolfGirl: I had problems charging my car too with a versicharger VC30, it would only reliably...

    2015-6 e-Golf HVAC 72F fix Tech Tip 87-15-02

    The TT takes care of the issue of resetting to 72°F after 20 minutes, but if you turn off the car while the Max AC is engaged the car will reset to 72°F when you turn it back on. At least that is what my 2016 SEL does. :)

    Safety Recall Code : 93B4

    I just got the recall service done in San Jose, I'll be very curious to see if the charger locks only while charging. The dealer also did the tech tip service to fix the heater resetting itself to 72°F when car has been off for 20 minutes or more.

    HOV sticker placement - photos please!

    This is where mine are, drivers side the same as passenger side, right on the crease! I see most people try to avoid the crease.

    Delayed Charging question

    I was having a bunch of problems with the off-peak hours and departure times. The car would not start charging reliably with the off-peak or departure timer set, but seemed to only charge when I pressed the immediate charge button after plugging in the EVSE (240V, 30Amp Siemens VC30GRYU). The...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Do you know the rating on the breaker the EVSE is plugged into? I have the same model and installed on a 40 amp circuit with no issues for 3 months now. My only complaint is it does have a loud annoying clunk when it tells the car what kind of power it can supply.

    I should have done more research

    It's a local, family owned and operated company in Yuma, AZ. I'm out in Imperial Valley so I finally gave up trying to find someone local/SD area and expanded my search to Arizona since I'm fairly close to the border. I can PM you their info if you're nearby but they aren't a large outfit. I...

    Volkswagen investing $10-mil into US charging infrastructure

    I regularly use the DC fast charger at the ChargePoint HQ (250 E Hacienda Ave, Campbell, CA) and use their 44kW charger. Charges $0.25/kWh, half the price of nrg EVgo systems. plus there are always cool people around there to chat with.

    Yeah there is kind of a barrier to EV's going across the desert. ;)

    That is what I did, so if I ever drive out of my time zone I'll have to adjust it. Funny quirk though.

    CA - Green Driver State Incentives

    They claimed that because of the new model year they hadn't ordered stickers yet. And all of the 2016 cars I looked at/test drove had HOV stickers on them. Maybe there was a change, but I think they were just lazy; I got a great deal so I'm not complaining too much.

    Suggestions to VW

    I see the DST box, it is not selected (correct) when in manual setting time. When I change to GPS time setting, the clock advances one hour and the DST selection box is grayed out. There is a glitch somewhere that makes the system think I'm in MST instead of PST
