Driving in France VW Assist

Off to France on Sunday for a week - and have my Crit air sticker and a couple of charger network cards that should work. Quick Q: am I right to assume that VW Assist works across Europe so if I have a puncture or something stops working I give them a bell and that process begins?
Thanks.

Re: Losing charge whilst parked

Yeah - from what I can tell the new battery fitted for the 2.4 update failed (and its not the only one I've heard of doing so..).

Re: Losing charge whilst parked

I had this issue (see this thread) of course could be something different causing it from my tale…

Re: Is charging slower with V3.2?

I’ve yet to see more than 125 on my Tour (on 3.2) but the car is likely built in late 21 (despite 22 plate) so older hardware than the latest etc.. But the id3 charging software does seem quite sensitive to the SOC when the charge starts. It’s ver rare (if ever) to see the charging rate rise when th...

Never ever trust BP chargers. If they work at all they often work below spec. Near the bottom of my networks

Re: Software bugs - V3.5

Couple of things to speed up infotainment boot up. 1. NEVER have the ID maps/nav as one of your tiles/widgets... this seems to take a while to boot up compared to everything else. Since I took this off, its miles faster. Might just be me but worth a try. 2. Unlocking the car starts the boot process ...

Re: "fuel" costs in 8 months ownership

I worked out that I spend roughly a quarter to a third of the ICE costs for fuel.

£500 compared to £1500-2000 a year.

Re: Dead ID3

From my (3) times dealing with VW assist - I take a quite hardball line and if the car is saying take it to a workshop then its clearly not fit to drive. The car also gives 'keep an eye on this' type errors and the workshop one is the next level up. When mine worked but the displays all went (shortl...

Re: Dead ID3

Call Vw assist. They’ll tow the car to a dealer and the dealer should triage what is wrong with it (ie actually look at it) within 48 hours.

I had my car die due to 12v issues (killed the battery).

Vw assist will also arrange for a hire car for your whilst yours is out of action

Yes when the heater is on more the driving part of the total consumption will be a smaller proportion.

Re: Significant HV battery drain whilst parked.

Obd is a data reader. Plug in a Bluetooth dongle under the steering wheel abs you can find all sorts of info about the car via an app on your phone. Dongles are £20-30 on Amazon - apps are often free. You can also clear warning lights / fault codes on other cars - which has made me quite popular wit...

Re: Using Tesla chargers - sharing my experience

Yes I think it’s about being sensible. I don’t go there when they’re busy (because I’d use two spaces) and when I have gone I’ve tried to go next to another non Tesla with the same space issue.

I’ve never heard about any issues with this with Tesla users at the charger.

Re: Final thoughts after 2 years with new car arriving next week

Used ID prices (and used EV’s) have bounced back a bit in the last couple of months.

Good luck Dave - enjoy the new car and thanks for your posts.
