Questions About 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf Electric Systems
-
Are Volkswagen e-Golf electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair? The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
How do I know when to get new brakes on my Volkswagen e-Golf? A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for e-Golf brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.
-
Why is my Volkswagen e-Golf dashboard warning light on? A dashboard warning light means your Volkswagen e-Golf needs some sort of attention. There may also be a high voltage system warning light on. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic.
-
What can cause my e-Golf to leak water? If you’ve been running the A/C in your electric car, don’t be too surprised to find some water underneath it. Electric vehicles use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant clean, which can produce external condensation. This condensation then drains under the vehicle on warm days. While a small amount of water can be considered normal, large puddles or any coolant leaking from your e-Golf could indicate a cooling system problem.

How often should I get my Volkswagen e-Golf vehicle serviced? Service intervals for a Volkswagen e-Golf depend greatly on your driving habits. Consult your owner's manual and remember that electric cars still require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. They also require battery, brake, and A/C system maintenance.

Local EV Service for 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf
Have you noticed your Volkswagen e-Golf behaving differently? Perhaps you've noted weaker braking, or your vehicle doesn't feel like it has the same "get up and go" that it used to. Whatever the issue, our technicians can perform a complimentary* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. Maybe there's a problem with your e-Golf’s high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Then again, it could be that your e-Golf has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, and that includes your 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf.
Select Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also have high voltage/advanced services for Electric Vehicles like the Volkswagen e-Golf. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the e-Golf's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.
Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your Volkswagen e-Golf is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With that info in hand, a professional technician can further pinpoint any electric vehicle problems and figure out if more tests are needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your Volkswagen e-Golf. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.
Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Volkswagen e-Golf dead? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, as these stations can heat up the battery more. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your Volkswagen e-Golf.
These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call first to check!
