Re: Not connecting to internet

Funnily enough mine has started doing that this week also. Not too sure how to remove the cover for the fuse panel otherwise I'd do that.

Re: Best winter tyres?

I ended up going with Cross Climates on mine. Got them from Kwik Fit (Yuck) for £130 per tyre.

Weather was horrible up here in Glasgow last Saturday and the car felt great.

Re: Delivery time

Finally arrived and it's glorious. Anyone know how to access the central locking control so it unlocks as I approach? Congrats! Looks amazing. You were build week 38 right? When did yours leave the factory? It arrived at the docks on the 31st of October. I would have had it earlier but I was in Spa...

Re: Delivery time

I could probably have had my car by now but I'm in Spain for 10 days so it's getting delivered on the 9th.

Hunting for winter tyres now (live in Glasgow) but don't want to spend a fortune.

Re: ID.3 Snow Chain recommendations

Snow chains for London? Are you Michael Fish?

P.S. No idea about snow chains but I asked my DTD dealer about a quote for winter tyres and he told me to go to a tyre specialist.

Re: Delivery time

Ordered via DTD. That was handed to VW *****. I thought this was a "secret" and your terms with DTD was not to disclose or publish the dealer they use. One can find out the dealer, but it is not widely known. I discovered the dealer after research. It was not a 5 minute task. It took some...

Re: Delivery time

You're right that VW are clear on the website. It's the dealer who seems unclear. I ordered 2.7.21. Dealer projected deliver by 30th November. Beginning August I had a confirmed build week 38 (week beginning 20th September). This stayed confirmed. End Sept, dealer told me "VW showing your vehi...

Re: Delivery time

Good news! Just been told that my car has arrived in Emden. This ship is on its way to Emden: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9235414. I'll report back further progress. So I've just received the same news with the caveat that it could sit at the docks for a few weeks. Ordered June 28th. 31338***

Re: Delivery time

I had a build week of 38 and contacted my dealer this morning to only find out that it's scheduled for build in November but that could change too.

My build number is 3133XXXX.

To say I'm pissed off is currently an understatement.

Re: Delivery time

News of delays seems to have calmed down a bit recently. I hope my car doesn't get partially built then wait for parts for weeks.
