Re: 12V battery low warning

I have had low 12 battery problems for a few weeks. Using the car much less and with dash cam. Suspect lack of use the 12V battery is not being topped up. I had assumed (wrongly?) that 12V would be topped up by HV battery. As car is 18 months old it shouldn't be a battery problem yet. Typically VW t...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Woes

I too am having problems with IO. I have a 21plate pro performance updated to 3.1 at the end of July and a zappi charger. I cant get past the error message that says the car is not found. Octopus have yet to come back with a solution. I read this about parking position but cant see that on the app. ...

Re: Tyre wear

I recall that Michelin tyres at new have 8mm of trend as do other premiums but cheaper tyres come with less. I have an Id3 ProPerformance (21). With 16000 on the clock I have 5mm at front and 4mm at rear. I do not therefore agree with the extra wear but I do not flog my car (re torque). On my experi...

Re: ID3 1st Edition Rear light failure

I have a 2021 ID3 Pro performance. Got a message check rear brake light. It is actually OK but led to me asking how I replace bulb. I can see no way rear light cluster can be removed.

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

I am not sure of this conversion explanation. The App often loses connection with the car and then defaults to 112 miles. I have found it stops updating when on a charge. The only solution is to do an optimizer run which forces the app to shut down and then it usually connects on re-opening. I am co...

Re: Scheduled charging with zappi

I have been away from the forum for a while. Even after 2.3 I still have problems. It is OK for the first day but if the car is left into another day the problems seem to appear. I use the zappi for small charging for sunny periods and slowly trying to work out what is the best action. Contact with ...
