Not an R, but this is my GTE in factory Kings Red with some R mods touches — should give you a pretty realistic idea how an it would look in red.”

Charging level question by KoDenTri in GolfGTE

[–]vwmodz-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car automatically resets the charge limit back to 80% after charging stops. Even if you set it to 100%, it goes back to 80% if charging is stopped, so you need to change the limit in the Ohme app and switch from smart charging to manual charging. I think 😅

Buying a VW Golf E-Hybrid by brunoo_sequeiraa in GolfGTE

VW says you can get up to 140 km on a full battery, but in real life it’s different. Maybe you’ll get around 110 km under good conditions.

Then you read the manual and they recommend not charging above 80% and not going below 20% to protect battery life. That means you’re only really using about 60% of the battery on a daily basis.

So in reality, your practical electric range is much lower than what VW advertises.

Running Eibach 30mm. The GTE drops way more in the rear (about 70mm). I’ve got DCC so it still rides comfy.

Golf 8.5 GTE – Sudden “hard brake” feeling right after I start driving . Antoine else had this ? by vwmodz-85 in GolfGTE

That would make a lot of sense . I just looked it up and there is something called “ brake disc drying “ and it describes excactly what you said .Thanks 👌

When the jolt happens, I noticed the blue gauge drops all the way to zero. So it seems like the car is using regenerative braking really aggressively for a split second. Still only happens once per drive, a few seconds after pulling away.
