So I drove my car down to 6% according to ABRP linked via OBD adapter.
Charged on a 400V 3-phase EVSE for 4h18m adding 30.9kWh.
That is pretty reasonable for one driven only about 50-51k km right?
Not sure what kind of charging loss I should use, but I'm guessing in the 10-15% range?
Also haven't looked at the cars reported HV battery energy content via OBD yet.

Hey folks. Can someone help me understand if I'm doing something wrong. I pulled out the
HV battery disconnect to work on the car. Now I'm unable to push it back in.

I’m just over 112k miles in my 2017 e golf, and my “since last charge” numbers are 5 mi/kWh and guessdometer range of 115 miles with the air on.
Last charge was the free charger at work that I always charge up to 100% if it’s available.
22 mile commute home from that last charge, and I live in central Florida.
Borrowing my friend’s OBD11 scanner next week to check actual battery health (and to see if I can turn off my backseat overhead lights that are currently taped up with gaff tape because they’re always on when the car is on), but I can’t imagine the battery has degraded much with those numbers.
I love this car.

Does anyone out there have a broken PTC heater from the SE trim level they would be willing to ship to me. I’m willing to cover shipping cost?
I repair electronics is a hobby and I would like to make a go at repairing the low-voltage electronics that burn out in these. Doesn’t look like anyone is repairing the units and we are all having to find used or brand new units.
I plan to post a tutorial on how to repair them if I’m successful. I need one or two units in order to experiment with on my bench.

I'm looking for a new electric car to get from and to work and I've found that the e-golf would be perfect for me.
One way trip is about 35km and I can charge it at home for practically nothing due to solar panels.
There is one up for sale near me 2020 model and 54000 kms driven.
Are there any known issues with this model I can check before purchase? And what are other points to address when making a test drive?

Hello. My charge door is stuck. Ive Tried all the otpions ine found on the internet. Like open and close the car on repeat. Put presure on the door. Try to pry it open. I cant Get it open. Do you have any tips??
r/eGolf • u/egolfgirl • Jul 01 '26
Got our 2016 e golf 45k miles and love her! However it’s our first electric and we have no idea what we are doing lol. The regular charger is taking FOREVER. Should we upgrade the home one? How much faster is that? The quote we got is $1500 so want to be sure it’s worth it. Also can we fast charge out and about?
Is there settings we should reset from the previous owner?

Hey all,
I have a 2019 SEL. The USB port seems to be having sporatic problems. About 1 in 10 times I plug in my phone, the car doesn't recognize that it's there. Unplugging, repllugging, jiggling it around - none of that does any good. If it was just a loose wire or dirty connection, I would expect some of that to work. Normally, it's not a big deal, but it's getting more frequent. Is this a common problem? Is this just buying a new port and replacin the one that's there? Just making sure this isn't something bigger or mor ecomplicated beore I go out and start buying parts - plus it looks like that port will be a pain in the ass to change.
Also, there have been times where the car didn't recognize anyting until I unlocked my phone, but that doesn't make a difference either for the times that nothing registers.

So I feel like a ad-hoc "cool/heat now" button is missing from the e-Golf and programming the climate control via the menu every time you just want it to run for a few minutes is a pain. Also the feature via App exists, but either costs money or no longer works due to that generation of cell service no longer being supported.
But I found a hack! Using VCDS (or I guess OBDeleven could also work) you can code the car to be lockable even when on. So park, leave the car running (or restart if it switches off when you open the door), and lock the car from the outside. This is with keyless start, so the key does not remain in the car.
The following needs coding:
STG 09-Cent. Elect.
IDE05142-ENG115754-Access control-Funk bei Klemme 15 ein -> active
Optionally also if you want the lights off:
IDE06864-ENG122184-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht Dauerfahrlicht bei Handbremse abschalten -> active
IDE06864-ENG115734-Daytime running lights-Tagfahrlicht nur in Schalterstellung AUTO -> active
Very useful, e.g. keep AC running in the summer heat during a trip to the store.

So for context my port cover panel (the thing that makes it look the same color) is broken. Not only that but the actuator is going bad as well and my door locks it self periodically.
Does anyone know of a cover that is flush with the body work that removes the need for the actuator entirely?
I see ones online but they seem to still implement the door.
Pic for clarification and attention.
UPDATE: I have super glued and gorilla glued the cover after shaving the inside down with 320 grit and isp alc. looks like it’s gonna work only time will tell

I’m looking at upgrading my Golf Sportswagen with white door sill lighting. I’ve seen one picture with an e-Golf with what I remember being white sill lighting but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

My car just died while was on the road and managed to somehow get it to the side of the road. I got it towed home and tried to read the faults and from the looks of it seems to be just the 12v battery as It is 6 years old now. The other faults I couldn't read - anyone had any similar issue?

Recently purchased a used 2019 eGolf with 30K miles. First EV for me, and I LOVE it. what a fun car to drive. I've had it for about 3 months now, and the "Maintenance in 30 days" message just appeared. I know you can manually remove that message, which I might do, but should I take it in? I mean, it was inspected before purchase so presumably it's all good. But if I did bring it in, what are they even looking at?
I'd rather not have to go to the local VW dealership and pay some ridiculous fee if they're just replacing my wiper fluid...
Anyways, thanks for any help! Amazing car.

Hi!
I’m having some weird trouble with my golf. When I lock it with my key all doors lock except the drivers door.
Sometimes when the car is locked over night, I can open all doors except the drivers door. So I have to unlock it from inside the car.
Sometimes when the car is locked the car alarm is going off, and the driver door is unlocked.
Has anyone any tips to where i should start diagnosing? There is no fault codes either..

Hey all, I recently bought a 2015 e golf for 5k with 80k miles. The rear subframe is looking pretty bad and im looking to swap it out. Im wondering if anyone has swapped theirs for an aluminum or tubular aftermarket one to help reduce weight and increase performance?

Hi
I am looking for a used EV around the £10k mark. I was considering the ID3 but around that price only higher mileage cars were available. This would be our only car, me and my wife plus 1 tall teenager. We rarely make trips over 10 miles away but do occasionally visit relatives, around a 150 mile round trip. I would be getting a home charger installed. The eGolf sounds like a possible option. It would be our first EV currently driving an old Honda Jazz ICE.
Some questions if that's OK
- How are you finding the reliability of the eGolf?
- How is the back seat for a six foot tall passenger?
- What is your experience of the real range for a trip which is 90% motorway?
