Dealership replaced the "Charge Pin Actuator" to fix the issue and charged almost $1700, since the car is out of warranty.

I'm planning to try the charger at the dealership next. Haven't checked via ODB11

My e-Golf won't charge. I've had this car for almost 5-years and had no issues with charging until a couple days ago when I last charged it with a 240V Level 2 charger. Now when I plug the charger in, it tries to establish a connection a few times, fails and shows a Red LED. I also tried my old...

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for your helpful explanation :)

Thank you for putting it so eloquently and reminding me that cars are not maintenance-free. My questions were directed at the previous poster who was kind enough to share some helpful information. Did you even consider that used cars may not come with Owners Manual?

Again, thank you for your snide comments. Not every used e-Golf buyer has the luxury of checking out every feature before purchasing the vehicle. Do you get off on being a snob and showing off your moral superiority over others?

Is there a way to disable the charge port from being locked when the charger is plugged in? I charge my car at home and leave it unlocked in the garage. However, the charge port gets locked when I'm charging and I have to use the keyfob to unlock every time I want to unplug the charger. I...

Thanks for the info. I'll try to keep the PSI higher as well. Regarding TPMS warning, this car doesn't show the tire pressures, so do you fill when the low light comes on, isn't that supposed to be an imminent failure warning?

That's pretty awesome! Was there anything specific you did to make your tires last that long? How often did you check the air and rotate the tires? Thanks

Good one :D My 2016 SE should be arriving today. Unfortunately, the photos do show some stains on the cloth seats. I'll be trying some of the suggestions given in this and other forums to try and remove them.

Thanks. Yes they could just be water stains.

Thanks for your post. I am buying a 2016 e-Golf in Dallas from Carvana as well. Did you take it to any of the VW dealers in town for inspection or any service yet? Would be interested in your experience. Now that you have had the car for a few months, how's the battery life? Are you limiting...

Good to know the original tires on the 2016 SE are decent quality. I had to change tires on the LEAF after 12K miles; the dealer acknowledged that the tires on that vehicle did not have a long life. I was not happy.

Thanks again for the tips.

Hi Mike. Yes, I took the plunge and ordered a 2016 e-Golf SE with DC fast-charge from Carvana, which should be here this week. I too have pored over the articles on several of these forums. Thanks for the tip on calculating the battery capacity. I'll use that to do some calculations while...

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you just spray it and it disappears, or do you have to scrub it in?

Purchased a used 2016 e-Golf from Carvana, ready for pick-up this week. I noticed in the interior pictures, the front seat covers seem to have what appear to be oily stains on the light gray fabric seat covers. Has anyone been successful in removing stains from the SE fabric seats? If yes, can...

I had the same question as the OP. I'm in the market for a used 2016 e-Golf and would like to find out what kind of shape the battery is in. Will the ODB11 tool show that info, since the onboard dash does not? I have a generic ODB11 plug as well which shows readings on. my phone.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I know back 15-20 years ago it was cross rotation, but more recently all my cars have needed front to rear.
