Common owner-reported themes
Not diagnostic advice — themes owners often document in service history. Always verify for your exact engine and year.
High-voltage coolant loop
MEB cars still need coolant in the battery/inverter loop. Log the coolant type and service date — thermal issues show up as charge limits and warning lights.
12V battery and 12V drain
EVs still die from a flat 12V. Log battery brand, fitment date and any 12V software updates so the next owner does not treat it as a ‘dead EV’.
Charging and OTA campaigns
Charge-port faults, heat-pump software and OTA campaigns should be dated in the history with dealer or independent invoices.
