VW ID.3

@KCross 100%

that menu doesn’t exist, I tried a reboot from the charging screen and it appears for 2-3 seconds and goes, a good result.

Now I have something to work with, car is due back in a week or two 👍🏻 Just relieved the range has come back, on our Cork run that’s the difference between needing to charge or not.

Is that downloaded through the charging screen menu or maps ?

the charging menu below says locations unavailable

Ps facelifted car,interior is leagues nicer

Extra plush adds a degree of extra refinement,overall car is a significant bit more efficient 15.2 after 8k Kms,versus 17 on the old one at 39k

Suspension has definitely been dialed back a touch on the firmness

3.5 just works.

Not even a compressor now for punctures

Cheap b@#tards deleted the id light,it's part of whatever package has the matrix lights at stoopid money.

Hi,

Thanks for that. Actually I am getting the Michelin. Dealer and I got our wires crossed somewhat.

Last May was offered the choice and selected the Michelin - going by reviews. Then a few days ago I contacted garage again and asked where my tyres ?.

They replied they could fit next week and again offered same choice. This tme went for the Goodyear, but they replied that I must accept Michelin as they were the ones they had ordered as per my request.

So, quite happy. Now must get the battery recall sorted. Dealer says they do not yet have the necessary equipment. ??

Maybe I drive like an aul granny but I've never had anything like what you described, when I press the accelerator the car goes, turn the steering wheel the car turns and press the brakes the car stops.

I haven't had any other standard tyre struggle with grip like these. They're clearly marked poorly in wet grip on Tyre Reviews so nobody needs to take my word for it :)

Just keep the heating on. I'm a firm believer of squeaky clean glass, nothing at all on it, hasn't let me down over the years, everything else has always turned out to be a short term fix, the mist and slime always returns 😡

Never worth cheaping out on tyres -

Replace tyres when you start to feel them slipping/losing grip, from experience that has been anywhere between 2-3mm.

Ignoring the cost, replacing at 4-5mm is just wasteful.

Thanks for all the advice. I picked up a pair of the Goodyears from tyreleader.ie that were listed as demo models for 90€ each. I’ll store them until the tyres have worn down a bit more.

I just picked up a 2nd hand ID3 and it looks like the software version is 2.3, is there a recall to get the software updated or is it a case of contacting VW?

Also is there a charge for this or is it covered by VW?

Missed call from dealership yesterday. Car serviced (1st edition) and free tyre upgrade in August... I wonder if they were calling about a new software issue, or maybe asking me about my PCP plans going into next year.. thinking ID.4, as family has grown.

Anyone else have a recent call from a main dealership? What was it about?

If you give your local dealer your reg they should be able to tell you. 2.3 also required a visit and a new 12v battery (maybe it was 2.2 or 2.4 I’ve lost count, ether way check it got the new 12v).

You should contact them.

3.2 is the latest one and your car will need to go back to get this done. There is also a battery module recall check to be done at the same time. You will get timed charging (allegedly- I’m still waiting) , dual zone air con if you didn’t have it, smart air con and more info on the binnacle.
