Re: Incorrect range shown in App

I have this issue as well. Informed VW about it and all they can say is send us some photo’s, check app is up to date, etc etc. Didn’t click that it was out by a factor of 1.6. Living with it now. Sod VW and their crappy software.

Re: Headlight Levels

With the Matrix lights, when on automatic high beam, the lights change to a non dazzle position when there is an oncoming vehicle and when following another vehicle they illuminate either side of the road but don’t illuminate the vehicle in front, otherwise they are on full. When there is street lig...

Re: Confused to hell and back.

I have recently started using Octopus agile and have been using the cars preferred times to control when I charge the car. Location is set, called Home and charge at preferred times is set. I set the preferred timers to match the slots when the price is lowest, so there may be 3 or 4 times at night ...

Re: Recommendations on Home charger

Correction to my note above. I meant “Good Energy” not “Green Energy”. Good Energy do my Feed in tariff for my solar panels, but do a night time tariff for EV charging as do Octopus.

Re: Doom and Gloom

I collected my Id3 on 29 June having ordered it on 11 June. I think I was lucky that they had a Max in the right colour. The salesperson put a lot of effort in getting me a good deal so that we could have Alloy wheels rather than the steel wheels with trims (VW, cheap, Alloys should be standard on a...

Re: Recommendations on Home charger

I went to the Fully charged show in Farnborough, and spoke with both the Myenergi (Zappi) and the Wall box company. Both impress with the technology and both have phone apps to manage the chargers. I have a Zappi on order because I have solar panels and will also be getting a battery subject to deli...

Re: A few niggles

I was going to suggest that you try unlocking the car twice, but have just taken the 3kw charger off mine having unlocked the car using the door handle only. It had stopped charging at 80%. Try unlocking twice? The manual says to try unlocking three times in quick succession. https://userguide.volks...

Re: New alloys to replace the ridiculous plastic hubs

Back to Alloys, the dealer I went to had a Max available but with the steel wheels (why are alloys not not standard???). I had them put the Loen Alloys on for the same cost as the other Alloys that are factory fitted. Car was delivered in 2 weeks as a result otherwise would have had to wait for 3 mo...

Re: Both infotainment screen and driver info screen are blank - any ideas?

I had a similar issue. 3 weeks after delivery and perhaps a week of not charging the battery * drove down the road and everything went haywire. Car still running but speedo not giving creditable readings, infotainment system blank, followed by speedo console. Dealer says ring roadside assistance so ...

Re: How to fit a Dash Cam to an ID3

Get the dealer to fit it. May cost a little but if there’s a problem then it’s their fault.

Re: Unlock using key seems inconsistent

I have a Max, and have found that the unlocking doesn’t respond to the fob immediately. Usually only use it when I want to remove the charge cable and that requires two unlocks to release. It’s a bit worrying when you stand there pushing the button and nothing happens. Another software glitch for VW...
