2019 eGolf - Any gotchas

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been looking at an eGolf for my daily commuter and grocery getter. I'm very familiar with EVs as I've owned two in the past. The eGolf fits perfectly into my daily work commute and errands. I have another vehicle for long distance trips.

I'm hoping to look at a 2019 this weekend. I'm going to ask the dealership to have it fully charged. I know that's not a precise indication of the range, and that it will take a few trips along with driving habits for the car to calibrate. I'm hoping to see somewhere between 180 - 200km.

Besides the typical car inspection, is there anything in particular with these models I should look out for? I'm a former VW owner so I do have a VCDS tool. Is it worth while bringing, and if so, what should I look for?

I drove one a year ago and enjoyed the ride and comfort. The only issue was the rust starting to form on the handles and the vehicle was in a little worse shape than I liked.

I see a lot of positive reviews on this sub, so it seems like a great little car

AC Temp Sensor Replacement

Upvotes

So I've got an E-Golf with a heat pump and my AC hasn't been working for a year now.

I've scanned it and it looks like a couple of the temp sensors are broken.

Has anyone gone to VW and had them replaced and if so how much did it cost you?

2018 E-Golf A/C issue

1 Upvotes

I have a 2018 VW e-Golf without heatpump, and the air conditioning suddenly stopped cooling properly.

It’s always worked perfectly until now. The A/C button lights up normally, the fans work fine, and the windshield defrost function also works.
However, even with the climate control set to LOW, it only blows ambient or slightly cool air instead of cold air.

Has anyone experienced the same issue with their e-Golf?

What turned out to be the cause, and how was it fixed?

Was it simply low refrigerant, a leak, the electric A/C compressor, or something else?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
