Tried again... latest 10 mins, then the red lights show... tried reset, it doesn't do anything. Is it meant to be a raised button? Mine is flat and you can't really tell if it's been pressed (tried with different levels of force).

Press & hold for 3 seconds.

Tried again, didn't work, even with the reset button. I'll be getting the dealership to replace it... managed only 20 mins charging before it went this morning. It's really starting to p me off!
Thanks for your help guys (thumsup)

Yep, mine was bust. Got it replaced today with a different type of unit. It's managed to stay on for longer than 10 mins, so I think that's my charging worries sorted.

My granny charger seems to have gone the same way, starts up fine, runs for a bout a minute, then a click and a single red light next to the car icon. Nothing happens when I press the reset button. Mine is the later rubber enclosed charger. Worked fine for nearly 3 years. Are they covered by the 3 year warranty?

The granny charger is covered by the regular 3 year car warranty, but not the 8 year hybrid battery warranty. Not sure if the extended warranty covers it.

You can get an equivalent replacement from Screwfix for £140, they offer a 10m one for another £20:

I still have 2 months warranty left and the car was serviced last week, come to think of it, the fault only developed once I got home... Time to call the dealer!

Thanks

I've just replaced my mk1 granny charger (which I've used constantly and put over 5mwh through it in the last 3 years) with this excellent replacement. It also has amps, kWh etc readings on the little display for about a quarter of VW's prices, though it's now gone up to £200 for the 10m version.

I also have a red light issue and a flat reset button that doesn't do anything - doesn't feel like a button!!

Just fixed my charger which had 3 red light fault. The issue was the fuse bad connection in 13 amp plug. Good now.
