Re: ID3 battery recall class/group action

If you times it by 1.6 you get about the right mileage for a 58. ie 118*1.6=189 miles this is an app 'feature'.

You do only get 7kW on a home charger or are you talking rapid?

Re: Fuse Taps

It wasn't an option for the Viofo. Maybe I would have gone down that route with Nextbase. Anyways, I have bought a multipack of Amazon after going to three different auto spares and one garage in Dumfries. Fitter fitting on Tuesday

Fuse Taps

I'm buying a dash cam to hardwire in.

Does anyone know which of the following I need?

ATS Fuse Taps

Mini Fuse Taps

Micro2 Fuse Taps

ATC Fuse Taps

It means very little to me!

Re: Dashcams: Current preferred dashcam please?

I've fitted the FitcamX made specifically for the iD3 - Forward facing but it requires no wiring, no power wiring - look it up on google or better still youtube. In short, you unclip the housing under the rear view mirror and put that to one side - the camera comes ready installed in a new housing ...

Re: Automatic lane change with Travel Assist - how does it work?

I have just a couple of trips to Glasgow and noticed that if the lane change isn't available, switch to ACC and back to TA then the wee arrows become available. Turn it off, turn it on syndrome. It works much better now - not perfect!

Re: Ev Car tax

My thoughts are that the structure of taxation needs to adjusted. We had a Fiesta 1.0ltr petrol and it is zero for taxation. I can not help but think to tax that less than a BEV just doesn't make any sense. The same goes for 'luxury'. A battery costs £££ and we are lugging it around rather than imme...

Re: No 3.2.1 update?

I think VW only go to one decimal place, so if you are looking in your car, you may only see 3.2 BUT the car might be on 3.2.1 - that's my understanding, happy to be wrong.

Travel Assist with mass location data

Just had this notification. Had to enter my details, name/address which is odd. Then was asked if I wanted to pay £86 or £0.00? D'oh. It did mention something about assisted lane changing - I wonder if that feature will return as I have used it before. Such excitement as car manufacturers become sof...

Re: Automatic lane change with Travel Assist - how does it work?

I have used this feature a few times. However, the wee little arrows/pointers are rarely there for me. It's a pretty useless feature, just slightly better than self parking which I have never managed to try.

Out of interest, I spray mine with some graphite lock lubricant. It helps me, if not the 'pin'!!

Re: Headlight Levels

I was once out in light fog and you could see the beams dancing away. It was strange seeing the left light illuminating the right side and vice versa. I stick it on auto and let them do what they do. I get flashed, I accept that it may be annoying for others, but they will have to accept that there ...

Headlight Levels

Sometimes, I don't get a single flash, but on Saturday evening, half a dozen people flashed their headlights at me. I don't have that many friends, so its not that.

Are the ID3 headlights set too high?

Anyone else get lots of flashing??

Re: OTA updates at 3.2

I did this update a few days ago now.

What it did do was highlight that the rear passenger side window was open, just teeniest amount. But enough for the update not to start straight away.

As for the update, no idea what it did.

Re: Winter range

Had a longish journey today, Return journey of about 170 miles to Glasgow. I charged to 100% and arrived with 50%. Charged to 80% whilst we had lunch and got home with 30% remaining. Heating at 22c, outside temp -1c. Drove normally, so it would seem the GOM of 3m/kWh is about right. It is surprising...
