Hi all, Scanned through the threads for advice but still unsure. I am driving about 20,000 miles a year in my ID3 and need new tyres again. a lot on the motorway for my commute. Mostly me in the car on my own. I know nothing about tyres or cars and my main 2 considerations are: longevity and value ...

Hi Guys, I have got a further update this morning from VWCS, they have withdrawn the 19" wheels replacement offer, however offered £1,000 compensation and tyre mobility kit (long lead version) to be pickup at local dealer. I have accepted this offer. Overall, I think is a good result. Also, VW...

Hi Guys, VWCS called again this afternoon and offered resolution, they offered to replace existing tyres to AirStop tyres, when I pointed out the Bridgestone Turanza, Continental Eco Contact & Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance in 18" are not AirStop. They offered 19" wheels as replac...

The small issue I have is, while the car is unlocking when I approach the car. Sometime, when I try to lock it after getting out of the car, it would not lock when I touch the handle on the driver side. however, when I try it on the passenger side, it work. It only happen intermittently, and will mo...

Hi Guys, I have an update from VW Customer Service this afternoon, they are awaiting from the Head of Product (VWUK) reply to confirm resolution, what I gathered from the call is once you have upgrade to East Derry Alloy options, AirStop tyres should be fitted, however there is no AirStop tyres for...

I'm amazed they're swapping 18" alloys to 19" wheels that cost about £700 more rather than either fobbing you off, or buying you a bottle of gunk and a pump. I think that is because they are no longer providing the tyre mobility kit to any ID3 and I pointed out to VWCS that my order is fo...

Hi guys, I have an update from VWCS via the dealership. "As per Week51 2021, tyre repair kit is removed from standard specification." However, they did not answer if the Bridgestone is a Be-Seal (AirStop) tyre! waiting for their response on that. The fun continue! According to VW website,...

Hi guys,

I have an update from VWCS via the dealership. "As per Week51 2021, tyre repair kit is removed from standard specification." However, they did not answer if the Bridgestone is a Be-Seal (AirStop) tyre! waiting for their response on that.

The fun continue!

How do you check whether the tyres have B-seal? My ID3 came with Bridgestone Turanza 18" and no tyre mobility kit. There should be a B-seal logo on the Tyre. My understanding is that the Bridgestone in 18" is not a B-Seal tyre and therefore raised the issue with my dealer. I would ask you...

Easy way to find out - did your car cone with a bottle of gunk and a pump? If it did, you don't have self sealing tyres. Unless they updated them recently , the 18" Turanzas are not self sealing. Thanks Monkeyhanger, I checked and the car does not come with the tyre repair kit, however the Bri...

The tyres provided with East Derrys are not usually airstops. Certainly up until earlier this year that was only 19 and 20 inch tyres. Maybe they've changed - I would Google your tyre brand and make sure your tyres show the relevant symbol (eg Contiseal or whatever the Bridgestone equivalent is). T...

Hi Guys, Need everyone collective wisdom here. I have the East Derry wheel option and it mentioned it come with AirStop tyres for the specification guide, when I ordered back in September 2021 https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/files/live/sites/vwuk/files/pdf/Brochures/id-3-brochure-pricelist-p11d.pdf Any...

Thanks Sidehaas and MH. Ok so it sounds like its not worth getting the 3 pin plug as an emergency spare backup, and will probably leave the servicing as well. Will definitely check the cable is included (untethered Sync EV charger at home so need to have the cars cable), will also ask about the tyr...

After 9 and a half months our car is now at dealers and should be ready for us to finally collect it on Thursday 21st July. Really looking forward to it after all this time. Is it worth getting any extras when we pick it up or do those separately - the official carpet car mats or get ones online th...

A simple solution would be to buy a male and a female type 2 socket and drill a hole through the door pillar. Then when you wanted to charge outside you could use the cable supplied by VW to connect the car to the outside socket and plug the charger cable into the inside plug. You would need a spar...

@Splitty, that's a cracking idea.. and I can't see it upsetting anyone from an Electric regs viewpoint either - it's just a very short extension lead in effect, from the inner wall to the outer wall of my garage but made up on-site so I could thread it through the hole before connecting it up. I re...
