Questions About 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf Electric Systems
-
Are Volkswagen e-Golf electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair? The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
How do I know when to get new brakes on my Volkswagen e-Golf? The best way to know is with a brake check. You also want to stay on top of your manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Volkswagen e-Golf brakes. Generally speaking, front brake pad wear may be significantly reduced in electric vehicles due to regenerative braking.
-
Why is my Volkswagen e-Golf dashboard warning light on? There are so many reasons the e-Golf dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.
-
Why is my e-Golf leaking water? It is common for electric cars to have some water accumulation underneath them after using the air conditioning system for a bit of time. Electric car A/C systems use receiver dryer assemblies to help the refrigerant stay clean, and this process can create condensation that drains under the vehicle on warm days. Noticing a bit of water under your e-Golf shouldn’t be a cause for concern, but significant amounts of water or any coolant leaks could indicate an issue with your cooling system.

EV Services for Your 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf
Has your Volkswagen e-Golf been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. If that's the case, our technicians can run through a no-cost* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. Perhaps there is trouble inside your e-Golf's high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, maybe your e-Golf has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, including 2018 Volkswagen e-Golfs.
Select Firestone stores also provide high voltage/advanced services for Electric Vehicles like the Volkswagen e-Golf. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing the Volkswagen's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.
Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf to get to the root of the trouble. With that info in hand, a trained technician will further pinpoint any electric vehicle problems and figure out if more tests are needed. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the e-Golf's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and 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 your 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf high voltage battery weak and failing? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll review the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your Volkswagen e-Golf.
