Well the saga continues. Got the car back and as I'm leaving dealer alley get a bulb out warning. The right front turn signal is dead. LED DRLs are fine along with the LED headlights. The entire LED turn signal strip is dead. Took it straight back but the their EV tech was gone for the day...

good to know as I picked up the Siemens unit.... are you able to program delayed charging via Carnet?

I'm not sure if they did that. They made it seem like the part was in-stock at a bay area dealer. but they very well could've torn one apart to speed things up for me.

did you press it multiple times? if not that's a horrible design. My other Kessy equipped VWs required multiple presses to turn the car off while driving.

Just got word from the dealer that they were able to source the needed part(s) from another dealership and got it installed yesterday. They are running diagnostics and fixing the rear spoiler trim that is loose. I just checked on the carnet app and am now seeing it actively charge :D...

yup- It'll be until at least next week before I get mine back. parts aren't in stock anywhere nearby. that's bizarre that your car is all of a sudden fine. Out of curiosity did they charge it with a level 2 or DC?

Sounds like what I'm dealing with. http://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=532 keep us updated.

I could only imagine if you are in a non-EV state. The dealer I went to does sell e-golfs (in small volume) and has a certified hybrid/ev tech but the service advisors were clueless.

Ya- it really put a damper on the new car experience. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. My understanding with CA lemon laws is 3 attempts or 30 days out of service.

I had a '15 1.8T, the e-Golf feels slightly more planted. as previously mentioned a lot more fun to drive in town, while the 1.8T is better on the highway.

Its not the EVSE, I was using the Dephi, (Level 2 is going to be installed next week.) I first thought (hoping) it was just the Delphi so I took it to a nearby Charge Point station. Still failed, when I took it to the dealer they hooked it up to their bosch unit and it failed. I'll post a...

Makes sense. Just like the XM sat radio people. They'll do anything to get you to sign up

ok a bit of an exaggeration since the car still drives. However day 1 into ownership the car will not charge. It charged fine into the morning however in the evening all I would get was blinking red. It would actually go from green to yellow a few times before flashing red and turning off...

wondering the same thing. carnet rep told me I need to pay for carnet to continue to use app despite it saying 3 years comp'd for the EV related items. I guess I'll find out in 6 months.

for what rotating the tires and looking at the electric motor?
