VW ID.4

Our Id.3 is booked in with dealer next week as the ac gave up in recent weeks. It worked well in France thankfully.

Yes.

Had similar on the ID.3. I didn’t remember hitting any potholes and I wonder if they are sometimes coming out of the factory with bad alignment.

Are the tyres feiced to? Have two in the service plan but was hoping to wait till spring to use them and add two more

Will get them checked tomorrow

phoned local tyre center today and only vw can do the alignment they said? due to lane assist

I have an ID.3 and two local tyre places have had no issues doing the alignment. Except when the car was new and not on their system.

I had no issue doing the alignment on my ID.3 at my local tyre place. Cant see that the ID.4 would be any different. Wheel alignment shouldn't affect lane assist, you're not messing with any sensors or cameras.

booked into discount tyres in blanch for wednesday

yeah ive used them for years for tyres

They want the car for the week for the module scan so I can see why there's a backlog at that rate. It would be handy if Cupra could do it on behalf of VW, my Born is booked in to get it done at the beginning of October and it would have been sooner but my work schedule doesn't suit.

Hopefully they can move to two a week if they get into the swing of things.

Have you tried Trinity in Wicklow. Not to far from Dublin

Well....

Strictly speaking the .X updates should be minor updates that don't add features, just fix bugs

But several of the .X updates seem to enable new functionality

Now VW could probably argue that the functions existed already (like V2G in 3.5) they were just disabled until they were ready to be used

In any case, the software versions VW publish almost certainly aren't the internal versioning scheme, but are just marketing terms.

I've seen similar done in other software companies where a new generation of a product was in reality just the next major version with the name changed

I got my front two tyres done a few weeks ago and the inside sholder was down to the wire....the tyre actually started falling apart and lost pressure and went flat..eek! very dangerous and my fault really as I didnt check. But in my defence the tyres were just coming down to the wear markers but you couldnt see the inside sholder and had to really put your hand in.

I know @micks_address you have a GTX like mine (20 inch rims 🙄)and I had the rears done on the tyre deal, but it nearly cost me €580 to get the two and get the tracking done as well....going to have to do some serious shopping around for my next pair of shoes!

I had about 30k done on them

im not to fussed about the software update to be honest as the car inst misbehaving badly.. i do get a bit over zealous emergency breaking in B mode.. but im not sure if software would fix that - doesnt happen in D mode.. for example if im pulling out of the driveway in B mode and touch the breaks it slams on ... but if i let it roll about 5 feet it doesnt... but doesnt happen at all in D mode

talk about comedy... went to get the alignment checked - top notch in discount tyres as always.. they came out looked at the tyres and said look its pointless getting alignment - you need new tyres. quoted 1100 for 4 hankook.. was tempted to go ahead and replace them but i have two in the vw service plan.. phoned my vw dealer in sligo to see if they would credit me for the two tyres.. no dice.. but can go to any vw dealer.. phoned joe duffy swords.. they quoted me 950 euro for 2 tyres.. i was like hmm.. no thanks.. phoned western in drogehda.. they are almost 400 per tyre as well and will only fit via a service booking which earliest is november.. phoned frank keane and they quoted october for a booking... back onto sligo and they are checking when they can fit them... quoting pirelli's... might just bite the bullet and go get them done friday.. even they said its a bit much needed a service booking for tyres.. should be a walk in service..
