    I have the US 2017 SE e-Golf and starting to notice battery degradation otherwise the car has been great to own and fun to drive. Still on OEM 12v. VW CarNet was a joke, with no way to access many controls without it. It should have been a wifi or Bluetooth but VW wanted the subscription money. Started w this car in heat of southern California before moving it to the mid-Atlantic winters and the car has handled both without any issue. I would definitely recommend as a reliable and fun drive.

    Can you do a review on the Audi A3 8v?

    I've had mine, base model plus ADAS, for four years. Only problem was the 12v battery dying after three years. Otherwise, a great car, as are all Golfs. I doubt the ID.3 or even ID.4 is any better except for range.

    can you do a video for the lexus is300h line?

    Had a nightmare with the newer version, battery failed and it was off the road for a month because no one could work on the battery. ID3 is the way to go.

    Can anyone tell me why almost every egolf I have looked at with under 10k miles have cuts to the sidewalls on their tyres. Every single one has it! Why is this the case?!

    I've had several several expensive issues with the heat pump on my 2019, plus the charger locking pin (as described in the video). Annoying.

    Lubricate the pin. What pin?

    • @Todd.T
      @Todd.T 4 місяці тому

      There is nothing to lubricate. People are hoping. The plastic shaft with wings on it rotates 90 degrees when pushed in. This shaft with wings fits into a vertical (or horizontal) slot and when you push the door closed to block off the charging port, you push the shaft in at the same time and when it rotates 90 degress the wings can't exit the slot and this holds the door closed.
      This is a carryover from VW/Audi gas cars. They all fail, even after multiple revisions over the years. If you replace them, they will fail again. If you ignore it, you will either be stuck with the door closed permanently or not being able to be closed permanently. I just filed the wings off mine and pushed it in so the car thinks the door is locked. If I sell my car, I will either leave it or buy a cheap one from China.

      @@Todd.T I guess I’ve been lucky. Have had four VWG cars over 30 years, no garage, snow and ice every year, no problem.

      @@mnhsty The part hasn't been around that long. My buddies E-Golf is a 2018 and his broke. He has a warm garage. I have a 2016 Audi A6 and it sits outside all year in the ice and snow and mine broke in 2020. My 2006 Audi A6 didn't have the same latching mechanism. My 1998 A4 was vacuum door and fuel filler door locks but the stupid hood latch used to seize on that car.
      The terror of going to fill your tank or charge your car and then find you are locked out is real. I'm lucky that I was near the house and still had half a tank of fuel when I found out.
      There is a little red plastic pull cord inside the interior panel that is supposed to release the mechanism. About 70 percent of the people that pull it break it and then break the door and have to replace a lot more than the mechanism. I screwed with mine for days until I had success by repeatedly hitting the unlock button on my remote while tugging the cord.

    Sounds like you're trying really hard to create fear around buying the car. I'm willing to bet you don't like electic.cars at all lol
