Most cars seem to have a "sweet-spot" cruising speed, a good balance of progress and fuel economy. I'm just wondering if there is any consensus on that with the ID.3? Not really. The slower you go the more efficient it is, except in winter with the heating on around town, when the power d...

The images you showed have nothing to do with the ACC. One is a fault for which the car should be taken to the dealer for diagnosis. If you have recently had a software update it can be caused by the new software doing a tighter tolerance check on battery cell voltages and identifying one that is de...

This is a copy of my post in January last year ….. VW call centre contacted me to book my 1st Edition in for its 2 year service, quoted £288. I asked for a cost breakdown for the work to be done, when he said changing the cabin filter was £84 I told him to forget it! Changed the pollen filter mysel...

Hi Everyone, I missed out on the £200 service and MOT plans that were about a while ago - and it’s getting to the time my ID3 needs its first service. I’m after any experience of quotes/costs? I know it’s rip off money for what they do - and expect it will be in the £2-300 range but almost out of p...

Mine failed the battery check that was done together with the 3.2 update. I hadn't had any noticeable prior symptoms. Our car did seem to use up % SoC slightly faster in some some SoC ranges than others (ie not completely linear scale) but I assumed that was just normal. After being told it had fail...

This was nearly two years ago now but it still comes up occasionally when someone gets an update and the workshop don't finish the job correctly. Glad to have been of help! Ah I hadn't noticed the date. Got the car back with 3.2 (shows 3.1 on the system which I think is right). Panoramic blind is o...

How do people feel about the following battery health stats... late 2020 plate. Just over 20k miles. Battery capacity in % - 93% Total stored energy - 8929 kWh Stored DC energy - 1369 kWh Share of stored DC energy - 15.30% Total idle time - 1341 days Idle time fully charged - 130 days Share of idle...

Not sure what the software situation is now. I was told it was 2 updates behind even though it had been in for a service late last year. They told me then it would take too long to do (2 days) so they couldn't fit it in at that point. Maybe that's what finally set the sound generator into meltdown?...

Mine were always IQ lights and I replaced them like for like.

... If you are going to leave your car for long periods of time, ensure your big high voltage battery is around 50% charged and you won’t have any problems If only. Apparently, a couple of weeks counts as a "long time" where my car is concerned - even with optimised battery use (etc) enab...

Brief update. Not much progression. I've asked for various info on 4+ cars - mainly infotainment system versions, recalls including battery recalls, battery health statistics. Only one dealer's gotten back to me and the battery stats were below a threshold I'd be comfortable with. Not feeling that ...

Have you checked the in-car shop? Ie, in the infotainment system? Not the website.

A few people on the facebook owner group have had this recently with 3yo cars. Have a look whether you can buy (for free) weconnect and weconnect plus in the in-car shop. Should solve it. I haven't heard of VW actually charging for contracts with an ID model yet.

Looking at my latest bill it shows how much electricity charged at what tariff and also shows the average price/kWh. Last month it was 7.14 overnight, 28.17 during the day and average for the month 7.34 on 210.8 kWh. I think if you can use a battery to do all your importing overnight like that, Go/...

Lack of a roof rack is indeed a shortfall of the car. There is no way to transport a kayak. Unless you get the transport hitch on the back there is also no way to take bikes or extra luggage. My biggest regret about our ID3 (great as it is) is not optioning the transport hitch. A retrofit costs much...

Although theoretically you could have to pay for this, everyone I've seen with the same problem so for has found that it remained free to reinstate even after 3 years. Just go to the in car shop and download weconnect, then weconnect plus. My bet is it won't cost you anything.

Will chat to some VW dealers today. Things I most want reassurance of is the infotainment version, whether any battery cells were replaced / need replacing, having a battery health check and options for warranty extensions. Some VW dealers might be unknowledgeable. If so, you can tell if an older c...

It's apparently coming on the ID7 Tourer and ID3 GTX.

We have a 71 reg Life PP and its been brilliant. Our VW dealer has also been very good and performed the 3.2 upgrade in 48 hours with an ID3 loaner. No battery problems and now the weather has warmed up a bit we are getting about the same range as when new. I think we will keep it another 2 years a...
