Re: Unable to login as Primary user
I had to reset my car ( iD.3 first edition, software 3.2) as couldn't get Intelligent Octopus to "find the car" Now I can't login as Primary user. Tried adding using QR code in car and aslo via app by adding VIN, still no luck. The notification on the car says successfully added as Primar...

Re: New ID.3 owner!
Welcome! I can't answer all of that but I'll help with some of it. My car doesn't have Travel Assist but ACC is brilliant in urban traffic, stop/start etc. I use it in almost all urban and motorway driving. Not so much on country roads. Personally though I prefer to turn off the "speed limit p...

Re: List of design faults - can anyone help?
What happened Scratch? What is the fault? It has decided to stop allowing delayed charging. i.e. utilising a TOU tariff such as Octopus Intelligent, or using the timers in my Zappi charger. Also, I was requested by the VW tech, on the recommendation of VW UK, to delete myself from the VW app and st...

Re: List of design faults - can anyone help?
No car is perfect - and I'll stand by that... 2011 1.6tdi golf from new to 90k miles. Changed two tyres - nothing else (paid for servicing every 12k miles though..). Very good car but that was 90k miles with the VW sanctioned cheat device in full flow... Something about the seat and driving positio...

Re: Condensation and water droplets inside headlight
I took the car to the dealers this morning for the condensation in the nearside headlight issue, I got a call back from them a couple of hours later. "We notice that your nearside rear tyre has 2.75mm tread left on it, the other side has 6mm. Do you want us to change it while the car is with u...

Re: First EV
We were thinking of changing our lowly Life ID3 for something a bit more premium, but after trying a few others, I am beginning to think the ID3 is the perfect car for us. Does anyone know when they might bring out the true facelift version, with things like the heater/volume controls being lit at n...

Re: Consumption?
I find the whole range left 'Guessometer' hilarious to be honest. It's nothing but a shot in the dark by the cars AI based on numerous factors, and should be seen as a very fuzzy approximation. A larger display of battery percentage remaining would be better, maybe with a green 100 - 50%, amber 50 ...

Re: Consumption?
So if I understand correctly, if I preheat the car for about 5 minutes, then get in and hit the break pedal, the car calculation doesn’t take into account any energy expended for the preheat? So in that case the 3.2 figure I am seeing could be true for the journey but is not true in relation to the ...

Consumption?
Does anyone else have doubts about the consumption data being shown in the car? I’ve just done a trip whereby the car is saying it achieved 3.2Miles/kWh If I do my man maths (other genders are available) I calculate 1.7Miles/kWh. Odd? Or am I missing something? The temperature at the time was at or ...

Re: First long trip tomorrow in ID.3
I seem to get the ID light regarding charging but I don’t understand what all the other “flashes” mean. So, yes, it’s a bit pointless.

Re: First long trip tomorrow in ID.3
BE warned on a long or any trip. No spare wheel was supplied or suggested with my ID3. I've had two blowouts. RAC can't help because new tyre needed and their recommended cowboys ripped us off with unmatching and wrong tyres fitted - which, you've guessed it, we had to replace. As long as you're in...

Re: New ID.3 Owner, family spec question
I don't strictly need dual zone, reverse camera etc, but it should be there, so I need to think about how much that bothers me as it is otherwise a very nice car. Additionally the dealer diverted from the question of the dual zone being fitted under warranty, instead giving me a link to upgrade the...

Re: New ID.3 Owner, family spec question
Hi Forum, I'm about to finalise purchase of a September 2021 ID.3 Family from Lookers VW under the used sceme and cannot wait to take delivery. I've not seen the car in person (but protected under the 14 day returns law), and VW sent me a video of the car. In the video I could see the car doesn't a...

Re: Confused to hell and back.
Yes, the range bug in the app only appeared after the 3.2 update. As others have said, the car/app combination 'helpfully' translates the actual correct range in miles eg 180 miles (and that figure is what is displayed by the car when you start it) by assuming that this range is in units of km and,...

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.
The in-car digital interface isn’t great. Our ID3 has been ‘bricked’ during dealer software updates not once but twice. The vehicle was off the road for 6 weeks. This iOS app has replaced WeConnect - which worked pretty well. This one is stuffed with promotions for Data packages without explaining ...
