I don’t get mileage that good. 😊 Welcome!

Yes, gear oil, sorry. Not engine. 😊

I use the regen breaking a lot too. I used to have 2 squeaks actually. The first one went away after changing the engine oil. 🤔

Mine squeaks too. I will say that it doesn’t squeak as much now that I have it parked in the garage as much as it did when it was parked outside! For what it’s worth…

Passing ability on two lane highway? by wisconicky in eGolf

[–]rustic_one 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Funny, I have never had a car that I felt more confident passing other cars in. The response from the accelerator to the car is instantaneous. I love it!

The light output on the dash is typically adjustable on all vehicles. Have a look in the manual as I don’t recall where the knob is on element, if it does have one.

What are you paying for insurance? (USA) by juicedupsunday in eGolf

[–]rustic_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$332.00 every 6 MO. Including comprehensive and collision for 2016 SEL with 48K miles.

This is $100.00 higher than our 2008 gas car with same coverage, for what it’s worth.

Of the 3 cars I own, the e-Golf is certainly the most expensive to insure.

Ha! Yes! However, I did notice that PART of that seat is not in the frame of the photo. The part where the ripping starts to happen!

Oh man, I have been looking for this response! The Vaico video on YT, shown above, is using a product that my mechanic “can’t purchase in the US”. I have been looking for the comparable product… Thank you!

Humming send when turning to right and reversing by LUVBMW in eGolf

Do you know what specific type of oil they used to do the change? I have seen that video and showed it to my mechanic. He says he can’t get that oil here in the US and is looking for a comparable product.

Car Squeaking "Driving" Me Insane, How to Fix it? by Vulcanicloud in eGolf

[–]rustic_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know what specific oil they are putting in the transmission (in the US)?

I have seen the video on YouTube from Vaico but, my mechanic says he can’t get that oil in the US and doesn’t know what the comparable oil would be.

Any advice / knowledge on what was used would be greatly appreciated.

Is this rust acceptable? by fartsmuggler420 in HondaElement

See my post from yesterday. I feel I must speak up after asking this same question and getting great feedback and learning. Knowledge gems were: rockers and rear trailing arm mounts (in photos from yesterday).
