VW ID.3

Back right hand side by any chance?

Drop the rear seat on that side and push on the plastic trim joint that was hidden by the seat. See if that moves and makes a noise.

On my ID3 there were two clips damaged on that piece of trim and it would twist and make a knocking/clicking sound 9ver rough ground. I ended up lining it with felt tape which sorted it.

Thanks folks, I’ll try that. Out of the country until Thursday. I’ll report back.

Watched Chris’s video with the facelift reveal - I probably would have to look twice to spot it. Very small changes, like new front bumper, absence of black plastic trim on the hood, illuminated light sections on the boot (like my golf from 2018) and lack of trim badges. The interior is brought in line with the ID.4, bigger screen 12” screen but not for RHD market (nice!). No HW changes, and I guess still no speakers in the back. I would say min 45k here as the current one is 42k. Go home VW.

similar position although no real desire to own a Tesla, mostly due to the musk factor which i know some people will scoff at me for.

i really enjoy driving the id3 and since 3.0 which fixed the timers i actually don't have any real complaints with the software or have an itching desire for more updates. it does what i need it do do (finally) and i don't know what i'm missing out on otherwise.

i feel like i got a good deal when i bought the car (traded in the beloved e-golf) and with the fall in 2nd hand prices and no chance of another 0% pcp deal i can't see anything other than paying the final payment making sense. maybe things will change slightly in 12months - but i'd be hoping for cheap PCP, a good trade in value and an extra 100km range to make it worthwhile....yeah, i know.

Hi, every time I turn on car, it tells me to clean front sensor, I noticed a small chip on one of the front sensors? Must be unfortunate, I assume it won’t be covered under warranty. How much will it cost to replace or did it happen to anyone else? I searched online, ppl saying it’s a quick fix, buy sensor and fit without removing bumper. Any other thoughts?

maybe it’s the front parking sensor.

Good. 40 k still mad.

Back from a longish trip, big thanks to the ID4 owner that helped me with the Ionity at Kill north, it would not activate via my VW card, never thought / knew the ID app could activate it also. There really needs to be some easier way to pay for charging, apps, force close, restart, plug in now/after ugh.

Range wise, my car is now at 80% saying 240km, Im hoping this is mainly a weather issue, I remember seeing 320+ at 80% last year when new.

I'm in a cupra born so pretty identical and my car would say 320-340 at 100% charge. Turn off the blow heater and it can go up to very high 300s.

Heater on, 80% showing 240 doesn't sound too much wrong to be honest.

My long term average from sept 22 to now is 18kwh/100kms

My ID.3 had 51kWh left from the stated 58Kwh after 60,000 km. I found that estimating range by dividing kWh/100km by KWh capacity of the car or dividing km traveled by percentage used gave me the same (and pretty accurate) results. I was getting around 18kWh/100km last week or 120km for 42% of charge which works out at about 280km.

Edit: Temps were about 5 degrees and dry with no wind

It will come when it comes methinks. Haven’t heard about anyone updating recently. We are still on 2.4 also.

Went to start car (MY21 on SW 3.0) yesterday morning and greeted by a series of errors, the most serious of which was that the parking brake is active when the car is put in D mode. VW ID Assistance arrranged AA to come out - boosted 12V battery in hope that that was the problem but no change. Car has now been flat-bedded to a main dealer 25 km from me. Two Main VW dealers within 1 km of me couldn't take the car; one hasn't got its service department open yet after transfer to a new premises and the other said it would sit for 4-5 weeks before even being looked at due to increased activity in their service department. No estimate yet of how long car will be off the road. First problem I have had with the car to date.

Yes, they offered a replacement ICE car, which would have required a €250 refundable deposit and an insurance charge to cover possible cosmetic damage - but I declined as I have access to another car. No information from the garage whether they received the car (I know they did as there is an Apple tag in the car). How VW handle this warranty issue will go a long way to determine whether I hold the car beyond the 3-year warranty, period which ends June '24, or trade for another marque. I have to say though that I've been very happy with th ID3 to date.

Kinda in the same boat, honestly would like a ID4 - but price! as the boot size is my only real gripe (other than v3.0). What I heard was if you order now you are getting a facelift, and they will start delivery in Q4 - this is minaly based on my memory from Kris at Battery life (so maybe just german ). I'll be paying a visit to my dealer in Q4 to talk about Q2/3 '24.

I think I would prefer to splurge on extras for my ID3 rather than base ID4, the camera/matrix lights/keyless are all pretty amazing still to me. Would like to experience travel assist.
