Golf eTSI

[daveb14]

I am looking at a Golf Mk8 eTSI model and noticed it has a large battery under the drivers seat in the UK. Does any one who has model find the battery annoying in any way? Does it catch your feet?

Thanks

No - never notice it. Not a problem.

Never had a problem with mine.

Firstly, it's not a battery, it's a box of electronics, and it has certainly never got in my way. I've had the etsi model for a couple of months now and it is a fantastic car, best I've ever owned, it seems to pre empt my every decision and carries it out very smoothly. Brilliant car, don't be put off by the negative publicity regarding the infotainment system, I think most people don't take the time to find out how easy it all is.

I thought it was the 48 volt battery for the mild hybrid system - allowing the car to coast and giving seamless restarts when in traffic?

The 48 volt battery is under the back seat and is much much bigger than the box you're talking about.

No the 48V battery is under the driver seat with the DC/DC under the passenger seat:

I stand corrected, thanks for the diagram.

Glad to here know one has issues with the box under the seat. Does anyone know if the eTSI uses the DQ200 gearbox or the DQ200e?

Does anyone know if the eTSI uses the DQ200 gearbox or the DQ200e?

I have UUF (Dual-clutch transmission DSG DQ200)

Hi,
Does anybody have the same difficulties?
Every time the car switches to the so-called "sailing mode" and especially when the engine is switched on again, I can hear a clearly audible, high-frequency, annoying (electronic) "beeping" noise.

Best regards
