Buyer beware... I switched when NSTAR rates went up last year to a 100% renewable provider. When the 6 month teaser rate expired it went up way higher than NSTAR and there was no way to know in advance what their market rate was going to be. No reminder that the six month fixed rate was ending...

Not only are the entitled kids not reading their manuals, the IT people (probably also millennials) are wasting company time and money reading these boards..! It's a terrible world you live in JoulesThief... I'm glad I don't live in SoCal. :lol:

I know how to operate the heated mirror switch as I too have owned other VAG cars in the past. I still don't think it's intuitive from looking at the switch though. The switch 'feel' like it's off in the center and rotates slightly left and right to select each mirror for adjustment. I certainly...

You're wasting your own time posting 'look it up in the manual'. If that's all you've got to offer to any question, we can take it as read without you having to post it in every thread. That's the point igbright was trying to make. You're the one assuming that everyone asking for help and...

Exactly! If the response you want to give is read the manual, at least point to the appropriate manual page and maybe add some detail if it's not crystal clear from what's printed on the page.

Not as much of a waste of bandwidth as an argument about whether or not posting RTFM as a response to any and all questions is... :roll: But bravo on reading books in college.

Here, have a fish :roll:

But it's not teaching a man to fish by telling him to go and read a book about fishing is it? The only reason for a forum like this is to form a community of people who have something in common, in this case our use / ownership of the e-Golf. It's here to provide help and advice to the group...

*ding* Didn't we all guess that JoulesThief would be first in here with an RTFM comment..? You may like to point out that everyone should read the manual at every opportunity, and no doubt it would save a lot of questions being asked, but if you're going to post a reply and you know the answer...

I think this happens a lot in all vehicles, but EV drivers pay more attention to it. I was reading this article on boston.com the other day and it says ICE cars lose 12-22% and hybrids lose 31-34%...

I just saw this thread, then on the website of my local paper (Boston Globe) saw an article about how much the fuel economy of ICE cars suffers in the cold. According to them, when the temperature gets to 20F ICE cars lose 12% in gas mileage or up to 22% in short trips of 3 or 4 miles. Hybrids...

Another glitch (at least in the 2015s) is that it will go to zero volume when switching between sources sometimes. I'll switch from listening to the radio at normal volume to BT audio and the volume will suddenly be zero. Sometimes it shows the speaker with a line through it but sometimes it's...

Here's a thread on VWVortex from someone who swapped out the infotainment system for the newest CarPlay-capable model. As you'll see, it's a big job! What I didn't realize until seeing this step by step was that the main part of the system is the SD card reader in the glove box. The screen is...

AFAIK the stock set up doesn't have a separate amp - it's all in the head unit. My previous Mk6 GTI had a module under the passenger seat, but I'm almost certain that was just the Bluetooth integration module. Here's the link to the audio / infotainment section of the GolfMk7 forum website...

I tried to have my dealer install this TSB when my car was in for its first service. They wouldn't do it saying they will only do TSBs for things that are broken and once one fix has been applied (I had the heater failure issue) they won't install another one until it breaks again. Seemed like a...

One thing I did years ago was replace rear speakers in a car with 8 set into a replacement rear shelf. You can wire them as series-parallel sets to look like the same resistance (impedance) as one speaker to the amp and by driving each speaker less you can get more sound with less distortion...

Here I am, back again a year later searching for this thread because I had to use the pump and now can't figure out how to pack it away again. I have a masters degree in engineering and I can't figure it out without picutres..! :oops: It really is a user-hostile bit of design, all in the name...

Welcome ShaunBeard, or should I say SpamBeard. :roll:

I've had the first warning and switch to Eco mode at 18 miles estimated range a few times. Normally I'm within a few miles of home so I just over ride it and go back to Normal. I haven't seen that it will do it again at 12 miles estimated range because I'm usually home by then. The one time I...

I don't know if it still affects 2016 cars, but there was a problem and a TSB to fix it on the climate control system in the 2015 cars. Mine failed in the summer so it seemed that the AC wasn't working, but the dealer told me that the heat wouldn't have been working either. Maybe it's that -...
