VW ID.4

Evdatabase.org says 410km for the 77kwh

Seems consistent with what you say, what are they advertising it as?

Out of curiosity does any know the difference in range achievable using the eco mode versus comfort? I've a gtx and always just used comfort mode... doubt it makes much difference?

Feck all. Only use it in icy conditions and IIRC it only gives 1km or so extra.

No difference, all down to the way you drive, heat requirements, adaptive cruise usage etc. There is no magic extra battery available in eco mode..😉.

2.9% on the 1st Editions too. I see on the VW 'offers' webpage for the ID4 now there is no mention of the APR rates for the individual models, whereas it was always there before - hardly surprising!

I mentioned to VW chap today that it's strongly rumoured that Tesla will drop their rate by 3% shortly and he looked a bit worried!

Yeah I can't see how VW doesn't respond with a price drop soon

That’s all true, but bear in mind that range was never an issue - we ignored the manufacturer quoted mpg figures simply because the tank size and real world mpg in a 1.6L - 2.0L diesel cars would all do 1000km+ per tank.

What's MY?

Hi guys I own an ID.4 with 17000kms on her. Love the car but recently I noticed a problem with the ACC on the car that I was told by the dealer is connected to a gps issue.

Dealer said the car needed an F5 ACC control unit replacement and is booked in for such.

I asked was this expensive and they told me the unit costs around €3500 but it is covered under warranty.

Out of curiosity I went and purchased an OBDEleven (Pro version) and ran a fault scan and 21 problems under 11 faulty control units came back of which control unit number 5 ACC was one of them.

Here are the fault codes under each faulty control unit.

1.Engine

Code: U112300 Databus error value received

2. Airconditioning

Code: U014600 Lost communication with serial data gateway module A

3. Adaptive cruise control

Code: U112300 Databus error value received

Code: U112200 Databus Implausible message

Code: U112100 Databus missing message

4. Gateway

Unknown faults 5

5. Multimedia

Code: U11100 Function restricted due to communication

Code: C10DDF5 Diagnostic interface for databus

6. Telematic

Code: U14FE00 Secure onboard communication

7. Battery Wnergy Module

Code: U163F00 Hybrid/ High voltage battery system

8. Battery Charger

Code: B1AD0F0 Charging station

9. Parking Assist

Code: U112100 Databus missing message

10. Driver Assistance

Code: U112300 Databus error value received

Code: U112100 Databus missing message

10. Light line display 1

Code: U11211 Databus missing message

I'm wondering has anyone here seen any of these fault codes before and if all or any of them are anything to worry about.

Also, if there are so many problems under 11 Faulty control units why am in not been alerted to these faults on the cars display system.

Under the vehicle health report the car is displaying no issues found.

The only report the car is showing me is a problem with Adaptive Crusie Control.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, Padder.

Sound advice, will run another check once the new ACC control unit is installed.

I did actually clear all the errors using OBDeleven and they reappeared the next day when I ran another scan.

Its good OBDeleven actually tells you at what mileage each fault occured.

I have searched online for the error codes but there is limited data available.

I can see some of them are related to intermittent problems the ID.4 suffers from in general but as Kcross already said they could be related to communication problems between the control unit not working and other units trying to communicate with it.

It is odd though the car itself is not displaying the faults so the driver is aware of them or is this becuase the faults recorded are not prioritised enough in the control unit to warrant a fault display?

Anyhow, I'm hoping once they install the new ACC control unit the other faults will clear also.

You need to be registered with the app and have signed up to the We Connect Start contract (if you can use the app then this is done)

Other than that, when you have 2.4 your car will check for an update once a week and if your VIN is in the update list then it'll download

I think the YouTube channel Battery Life has a few 3.0 update tips videos which might help

Not that easy. They are still only in Beta release and seem to have issues bricking cars when doing an OTA update. They have not pushed it out to most the fleet

Only those that specifically asked for it via an email campaign and not even all of those have got it yet. VW are being super cautious about the rollout as they have been hitting issues with some cars and are fixing those bugs before they move to the next batch.
