Re: Batterygate! ?

Following this thread, I just found there is another factor as well for AC charging I have a SyncEV charge point and until I switched to Intelligent Octopus I was going by the kWh it reported. However, now I am on IO, IO reports roughly 5% less usage (from the smart meter) than the SyncEV does throu...

Re: Intelligent Octopus & ID.3 - success story

Do you still have to use a scheduled charge on Intelligent Octopus at least once every 30 days? What do you do if you want to go away (for work or holiday) for more than 30 days? I checked the terms and it appears not. You do need to keep a vehicle or charger "registered" to the service o...

Intelligent Octopus & ID.3 - success story

There have been some negatives and positives around IO on the forum recently, so I thought I would post my experience Reading that IO now supports ID cars, I thought it was time to give it a go. The result : migration from Eon to Flexible Octopus and then Intelligent took just 5 days from request to...

Re: Post V3 Update Mobile App Range Variation

Hi If you unlock the car, eg to get something out of the boot, then relock it without "powering up" the issue happens Multiply your miles by 8/5 ! By the way it affects the website as well as the app I have had an ongoing open issue report with VW over this for 6 months .... :shock: Rick

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

All This happens when you open the car but don't power it on, then relock The same occurs on the "My Volkswagen" web page, so it's not an app issue as such, either it's the car or the back-end services somewhere I have reported it to VW software support and the case is still open - I guess...

Re: Wrong range reported when charging schedule overriden

Hi all! So my ID3 has been charging overnight up to 80% as usual and since I have a bit of a trip today and to be on the safe side I decided to bump up the charge. Currently showing 200 miles of range. So I went in the app and and clicked on "charging times" and set it to "charge imm...

Hi all I collected my car yesterday - all OK except we couldn't set up anything as the car decided to do a software download and update at that point ! I drove home 35 miles along country A/B roads and got 4.9 mi/kwh with the AC off and 19 degree temperatures - a far cry from the last 2 days ! Halfw...

Re: Delivery time

Can anyone recommend a dumb charger? I need a second charger for work but don't want something with all the bells and whistles. It doesn't need to be smart, just something to plug in and go. The law just changed and all newly installed chargers now have to be smart. This is to allow charging to be ...

I wonder how much of it is down to this country's ridiculous insistence with using the RHD format? It surely isn't a small task converting the tooling each time?

Re: Delivery time

Quick update that I managed to get a VW order number and a status update of "Still waiting for a build slot to be confirmed from the factory" which equates to 0 i guess. Looking at the order spreadsheet i see no logic in the way cars are being built, even for those of the same model it se...

Apparently my 2014 Golf 7 2.0 TDi has gone up in value by £3K, or about 30% in the last 18 months !
I asked the dealer and they have actually increased their trade-in offer by £1K since last discussed 6 months ago

Re: Delivery time

There is an expiry on the grant? What does that mean? If I ordered in September but the car doesn’t arrive until 10 months later, are they going to remove the grant from the price? The original 9 months grant period was extended to 12 months for orders placed up till 4 Feb 2022, due to the "se...
