Volkswagen Golf GTE85 MORE: Hybrid multifuel SYCOMOREEN

[Remundo]

yes, thank you Christophe, I sometimes feel a little lonely on this topic

oh yes surely there are finer parameters in the bowels electronics.

[Christophe]

Yes it is a little monologue but do not worry I'm attentive ... except that I do not have much to say more!

For the obd I think it's worth it: Torque Pro is 5 € and you will find ELM327 less than 10 € very easily ...

[Remundo]

I have friends on another forum who have the little zinzin OBD. They can go to see the battery settings and other miscellaneous values.

Cons cons cons, it does not provide additional information.

[Christophe]

Uh I do not know what you could have with a hybrid ... I never plugged.

But on a thermal, we have access to lots of cool info with Torque (the free version is the same as the pay but limited to a few hours of use ...) at least with the cars I tested:

Some examples that come to my mind:

- air flow g / s swallowed by the engine, very interesting especially on a gasoline (because it allows to estimate the actual engine power and consumption very easily)
- instantaneous power (CV) but here I think it is a calculation according to the acceleration and the mass of the vehicle (estimated)
- turbo pressure
- common rail pressure (up to 1500 bars!)
- instantaneous consumption (but it is also on the onboard computer, but it allows to compare ...)
- real-time EGR value
- ...

Torque also allows you to do performance tests, like 0 100km / h, 1000m DA ... which allows to make some nice energy comparisons also ...

All this for less than 20 € I think it's cheap paid!

[Remundo]

yes it can be interesting, but compared to my goals, it's useless.

the car went to the power bank before and during its development, it was 220 Ch peak, including 165 for the 1,4 TSI.

My goal is basically to watch the average conso.

[Christophe]

220 cv ?? What for? Do you want to ride the Rally with?

[Remundo]

oh no, but the car is at 204 Ch original.

I agree that it is good too, but sometimes it is practical and pleasant.

Moreover, if you pull a caravan a little heavy, it leaves you under foot.

[Christophe]

Ah bin French CVs are not the same as the German CVs which may explain the difference ...

And in addition it is a VW so be wary of the numbers they announce!

What conditions the ability to tow a caravan well is the mass of the towing car ... more than horses ... at least flat ...

But you can put a hitch? This surprises me a bit because on cars 100% electric is (it?) Forbidden ... and as you have a mode 100% electric you are in the conditions of a 100% electric ...

[Remundo]

quite, my hitch was mounted by VW in factory, to the manufacture of the car (hitch option around 1000 €).

what makes it possible to tow is the power of the engine, and the mass on the motorized axle. On a road in good condition, the GTE is a good tracer. On scabrous road, a 4X4 will be better.

5-10-15A cable selection can be selected with EVSE integrated into the 2 socket



It will be soon 1 year that Sycomoreen tests this confidential product; with a cord of approximately 6m (length on demand), it has supplanted the cables provided by VW (which have a cumbersome EVSE placed in the middle of the cable, and especially which only load 10A maxi). This cord has already delivered to the GTE85 + approximately 1500 kWh for approximately 10 000 km without any problem neither on the vehicle, nor on the electrical installation, nor of course in the charging device.

Provided you have an 16A plug in good condition (plugs in the socket) and a cable line preferably 2,5 mm² with a ground wire, it's a device that behaves like a nomad wallbox, and is cheaper.

We can reload a GTE pack (or Audi A3 e-tron) in 2h20 instead of 3h45;
* each recharge saves approximately 45 km * 6L / 100km * 1.39 € / L = 3.75 € of SP95-98,
* it consumes 8 kWh at the socket, about 1 €
* 100 refills per year (4000-4500 km electric) give about 275 € gains.

Ideal for those who have urban and commuting routes, with plugs available (home or parking-work).
