VW ID.3

My car has the countdown to the service at something like 560 days.

That would mean 3 years or so.

I think they mistakenly reset it when it was in for the software update.

If you look at that chart again you'll see that they include "Break " Fluid in both the M and L pack. Is that what they call the coffee now that you drink while waiting to get your car back??

Just checked the car again this morning and it's saying service in 341days. That still puts it at the start of March next year. That'll be two years 6 months since I picked up the car. I'll definitely be getting it in to the dealer before September is over anyway, even if it's only to get my order in for a replacement next year.

Checked the tyres aswell and there's still at least 5mm all round. Goodyear's and 15K km on the clock.

Seesm that VW are going to try and consolidate a few items on the production lines for id.3's. This means that a few features would be removed and hopefully result in a better build date for the customer, with a possible €1,500 reduction in price.

Looks like it's only for the upper tier models that are already in 'ordered' status, not for new orders or for the Life model.

The bits that would be missed are

• Travel Assist with Swarm Data
• Side Assist (Blind Spot)
• Emergency Assist
• Traffic Jam Assist
• Trained Parking
• Area View

I'm happy enough out with the EV I went for instead, since my T5 order was originally cancelled by VW. But it may be interesting to some who are on the fence about their order. Also, if you can live without the above features, it could be worth checking with your VW dealer for cancellations as they are probably still listed as 'ordered' in the overall system and could be available earlier than the original build dates.

What made her go with the Kona over the Ioniq 5? I know the Kona has a slightly bigger battery for around €40K but the Ioniq is a good bit bigger.

I'm actually ordering an Ioniq 5 this weekend to replace a Karoq.

Will most likely keep my ID3 for the minute but I'm going to sell it before October I think and just get an old Leaf for as cheap as possible for pottering around town or an older Ioniq as a lower range second car.

Parking at Sainsburys tonight, as I got out of the car a lady did a double take, slowed down and announced "oh my God your car is beautiful!". Lol

on the ID3 sat nav, is there a way to turn off all the European stuff and suggestions?

How do u book charger on easy go app? going to Clayton Hotel in Dublin today and will need to charge over there.

I had asked about the id3 tyres previously, so just giving an update.

Got the car in July,came fitted with Bridgestone tyres. Lasted about 12k km of pretty moderate driving (mostly my wife driving short distance to work,with child being dropped off to minder).

I have the L service plan (that included the +4 tyres) so rang the dealer and dropped in to discuss. They checked the tyres,approved the replacement, and just followed up to confirm what did I want fitted - Bridgestone,Goodyear, Continental. They're putting the request on the system today for Goodyear tyres, hopefully all straight forward and get replaced in the next week or so hassle free....

Yes. Has happened to me a few times on particularly cold mornings. Seats would have heating on second setting rather than preset first. The mirrors would then open once the car has drive engaged. No idea why.

And congrats on the car, great news on this thread for a change 😬

First car delivered in this thread in a long time!

I've noticed that seat heating goes up a notch when its cold, and drops back down when the car warms up.

Next time I'll wait to see if the mirrors extend after selecting D.

I am about to order an ID3 comfort, thanks for the heads up on the intelligent park.
