Re: Battery Competence Centres

Thanks for the reply @sidehaas - nothing anywhere near me.. @TheMack - Car went in to garage on 25th July for the update to 3.2 and at this rate I will not be seeing it until middle of October at the earliest - best part of 3 months. Nothing about that is OK'ish at all. I appreciate what you're sayi...

Battery Competence Centres

Hi, I've had a look and can't find anything. Is there a list of BCC available? Mine has been recovered to one and they're telling me it's over 6 weeks until they can even look at it! If I can get a list, I will call around and see if anyone has any closer availability and then I can go speak to cust...

Re: 3.2 Update Woes

This doesn't really make sense? If your recall was S-Replace then it needed to go to a Battery Centre from Day 1? It's almost no surprise you got the error as soon as it was updated. I told them I had S-replace and they were insistent it was check first... I pointed them at the Australian site and ...

Re: 3.2 Update Woes

Update.. I got a call yesterday afternoon and an MG4 EV arrived at my office. So I'm in an EV, but after speaking to the garage this morning, the car is still there and not at the battery centre yet. When I asked if we were talking a week or a month - he said probably longer!! When I was talking wit...

3.2 Update Woes

So... After a cancelled install the car finally went in for it's 3.2 update last week. It was also in for the other recall, the 93P7 - mine is S-replace, wasn't check and replace. Took 3 days, but I couldn't pick the car up until yesterday as I was ill for a few days. Went to pick car up, jumped in ...

Re: Auto closure of windows not working after 3.2 upgrade

I havent noticed that but have a slightly different problem with my windows. If I open my windows down to say, half way (or less than fully open) - when I eventually want to close them and apply the switch to close, they open fully. Driver or passengers have the same problem. Whats that all about? ...

Re: 3.2 software update cancelled

My appointment for today got cancelled too - had the call from the dealer.. Strangely, whilst talking to the poor guy on the phone (he had a lot of other people to call and disappoint) I also queried that I hadn't been booked in for the 93P7 recall - I have replace, not just check and replace. He sa...

Re: The Gods Must Be Crazy, VW starts rolling out software v3.?

Don't bother trying to book this yet - I just got off the phone to my local dealer after I booked online last night. They haven't been told anything about this so cannot book the car in as they can't assign any work to it - what they told me. I said about the technical notice for the scheduled charg...

Re: Sport Mode Regen

Thanks for quick replies all. Glad to know it's not just me - but it is my (lease company) car - I want to change a setting, let me change it and keep it the way I want!!!! Same as the reversing mirror setting - my 3rd VAG car in last 5 years and it's the only one that doesn't keep the setting. I'm ...

Sport Mode Regen

Not sure if this is just my car or a general "feature" I like driving in sport mode, the regen when coming off the throttle is far nicer than B mode, IMHO. I don't notice any lower range/economy and I have a home charger so not a big issue for me. The question is, when I get back in the ca...

Re: Lane Assist is downright dangerous

I agree that in certain locations the lane assist is really dangerous - I've had it try to send me into cars coming in the opposite direction in some country lanes many times. Not that narrow and plenty wide enough for 2 cars, but the system decides I should be in the middle of that bit of road and ...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

Did anyone else think the post on the FB group was a joke? I assumed it was a member putting that on there so a load of people would bombard the email address and basically fill a mailbox to show the displeasure at the complete cluster that has been the software on these cars! I also have never seen...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Is it just the car play buttons that are out of alignment? I've known touch screens need an alignment. The old chart plotter on my boat would forget its calibration and I had to do a calibration routine which involved touching 25 points on the screen, it then saved the calibration to non volatile m...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Picked my car up after 3 days today. All completed so just waiting for 3.0 now.

My touchscreen is a lot more responsive, but CarPlay buttons on the right are still out of alignment.

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Mine is now starting it's 2nd day at the dealer - they did warn me that it may take 2 days when I dropped it off and seemed quite surprised that when I booked it in nobody had told me that - I also took both keys and he said that is necessary, and again I should have been informed of this.

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Software 3.0

I'm still on 2.3 (until tomorrow) but I switched over to Intelligent Octopus last week, my Octopus Go was still valid for a few more months, but given the inevitable increases incoming, I thought it prudent to fix it for another year and have the extended hours of 7.5p. First charge last night and w...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Software 3.0

I'm potentially about to switch from Go to IO, but I have an Ohme charger which does work with IO, so the ID.3 will be in 'dumb' mode with the Ohme controlled via IO to charge the dumb car. Not jumping just yet, waiting for the renewal email from Octopus which is expected by the end of the month. I...
