Re: 19” factory fitted Bridgestones recall

Our ID3 in in at the moment for 3.2 upgrade and replacement of all four Goodyear 19" tyres. Pity we replaced one just a couple of weeks ago! Is it just the 19” tyres being replaced? I have 18” Goodyear tyres and not sure whether I should ring VW to get them replaced! Thanks It is only the 19&q...

Re: LHD Wipers Fitted to RHD Car

I don't understand this thread. Goodness knows we've had enough rain in the past months to test the wipers! I've experienced no visibility problems driving in really bad weather.

Re: 3.2 installed at the dealer today!

Quite a few people have reported going to 3.1 at the dealer and it then getting a short OTA to 3.2 very soon afterwards. This is also the same as a lot of new cars have had. The strange thing is that all these cars that people have shared photos of seem to show software 3.2.0. I thought VW were exp...

Re: 3.2 installed at the dealer today!

Do you know if they have to install 3.0 and then 3.2? Vertu Lincoln today mentioned that the car may need to be in overnight as they have to install 3.0 and then 3.2 and this may take longer than one day to download an install. I would have though they could just load 3.2, bypassing 3.0.

Re: 3.5 software, then 4.0 apparently later this year ('23)

Dealer has asked where the link to the dealer 3.0 update is. Just had another look at the VW website and the link to that has gone and it's back to showing ota update only!

All booked in for a week on Friday - let's see if it happens after the three aborted attempts to get 2.4 done by the dealer.

Re: Auto Main Beam problem

Yes, I see the subtlety (e.g. going round bends) but there is a definite difference between the auto beam behaviour with my car and with the R-Roc they loaned me recently. The T-Roc immediately turns the main beam off (and I see the symbol in white) when headlamps approach. The ID.3 doesn't do this...

Re: Tyre wear

Our Family Pro is on 21000 miles and the fronts still have around 3/4 mm left while the rears are now due to be changed at around 2mm. I think this is very good considering the weight and torque of the car. Perhaps the EV specific tyres make a difference. We have the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performa...

Re: Disappointed 😔

I was wondering why they needed to put 'ID.3' right in the centre of the dash between the vents but then I remembered that it had been so long for some of the orders to come through that new drivers had to be reminded what car they had actually bought.

Re: Baby ID.3 on its way - awww, bless.

I don't understand why it might be called a Golf. Surely the ID3 itself is a Golf replacement with every dimension being so similar to the Golf? Shouldn't it be an ePolo or ID2? The logic I've seen is that this will be a car smaller than a Golf on the outside but with the same interior space, where...
