Preferred times not stopping

So for some strange reason the preferred times starts on time at 12:05 but no longer stops at 4:45, this has worked fine for months now but for the last week it just charges to 80%

It’s had 3.2 software and the internet signal is good

Re: Intelligent Octopus Woes

I’ve been trying to get on intelligence for around a month now and have spent hours on the phone and emailing them going through different departments and complaints with no fix, my go faster tariff ends in a matter of days now. I’m switching over to a ev tariff with British gas, you get five hours ...

Hi I’m trying to setup octopus intelligence because our go faster tariff is being removed next month We have a 2021 ID3 tour 77kw on version 3.2 with a newer version of the BP pulse charger (taller silver one) I’ve contacted octopus for some clear instructions but for some reason they are struggling...

Re: Zappi V1 not charging

I was nervous around vw’s reliability on the scheduling but when I had 3.2 I couldn’t use the home chargers scheduling.

We have the octopus mini which gives live usage and I have tracked it against the cars schedules and they have currently been faultless

Re: Zappi V1 not charging

I had the same problem with a bp pulse charger after the update, what we did Delete everything in you home charger settings so it’s just a dumb charger so no schedules etc… Set a location in the id3 for charging for your home We created a preferred time schedule in the car of 21:30-2:30 which is our...

Re: Software 3.2 updated and now home charging doesn’t work

Software 3.2 updated and now home charging doesn’t work

We took our car in to vw for the 1st service and the 3.2 software update and now the home charger doesn’t work. We have the newer version of the bp pulse charger and before the update the scheduled charging worked perfectly, I’ve spoken with the service centre who said not sure what to do but we can...

Re: Air Con - Cooling

Our car is two years old now and the AC wasn’t getting cold yesterday, rang the garage to add this to the service in a couple of weeks and was told that this isn’t covered under warranty and it’s £179 for an ID AC recharge!

Re: Second hand value and depreciation

Last time I was in the dealership the sales guy said that the tour’s aren’t the easiest thing to sell due to only having four seats and most people don’t want to pay for the extra spec

Re: Second hand value and depreciation

Prices have crashed in recent months, where lucky that’s ours is a work car so doesn’t affect us but when I’ve been noisy our July 21 tour with 30000 is only getting £18000!

Less than half its cost in under two years

Re: Transport Hitch will not release

Was the fitting greased prior to use? More than likely it’s just stuck and a good bang might help, vw won’t make the neck so go online and have a look at other manufacturers like Thule, witter, tow trust, etc… to find the locking mechanism. Then google that manufacturer stuck neck and hopefully some...

Re: 1500 miles covered, new windscreen time

Our replacement was autoglass but I’d say there must be a difference, really bad reflections from the dash now which I’d not noticed the last two summers

Re: Hello everyone!

This is just me opinion, if your looking for a couple of year old car I’d make sure you get a good warranty. We’ve had a few minor issues with ours that could have been expensive and a few lights that’s been on and off that haven’t been resolved with VW. We’ve enjoyed the car but I’d expect big bill...

Re: Electric Drive Not Working Correctly Error

I had the same issue, vw assist came out and said they can recover the car but it will sit there until it’s scheduled appointment in 4 weeks. There too busy but if there’s a cancellation kind of story. Our light went off after a long drive and at the appointment you guessed it no fault found! I cert...

Re: Max and Tour

Just looking at the new tour and the standard features on our car now are extra packs so to order our car in the facelift is almost £50000, I’m due a new car next year but I really can’t imagine paying them prices
