Re: ID3 Software Update V3

I have a Tour Pro S ordered June 2021 and delivered November 2021. It has had the 2.4 and battery update but no sign yet of the update 3. Will it definitely arrive?

Re: ID.3 V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)

Any news? As Britain approaches winter power cuts I'd like to enable this for my 77kW ID.3

Re: UK public charging needs to improve - France excellent

Been to France twice this yr, & I found availability of charging points fairly similar. I think there may be more 350kW DC chargers on motorway service areas there than here (usually Ionity). 15 minutes for a wee and a coffee and you're recharged. I found one at the Cobham services on the M25 la...

VW failure to repair fault

My ID.3 was delivered on 23 November. After a week of failing on and off to start it went back to the dealer (at the request of VW Assistance). As I write this, on 30th January, it is still there. That is EIGHT WEEKS. Not the dealer's fault. It is because VW is unable to supply a 'special tool' whic...

Re: Faulty new car

Car still in bits at dealers, waiting for VW to produce tool required. They say it is on "back order" and should be available Jan 28th. By far my worst new car experience. After 5 months on order it was delivered 23 November. After a week of starting failures it went back to dealers on 3 D...

Re: Faulty new car

VW UK rang this afternoon to say they'd spoken to dealer and confirmed special tools were on "back order" and scheduled for delivery 28th January. No guarantees I imagine. No suggestion of offering to see if other dealers might have them because "they might be in use". They came ...

Re: Faulty new car

So I am now told the special tools required to rectify the fault the car was delivered with back in November won't be available until the end of January. So by then it will have been off the road at the dealer for TWO MONTHS. I wish I hadn't bought it.

Re: Faulty new car

So here we are, 28 December, with my brand new ID.3 still in bits at the dealer, Listers Leamington. They have done their best, managing unfamiliar problems and needing special tools difficult to locate. VW themselves do not appear to have been helpful. Someone rang me after responding to my complai...

Faulty new car

Collected new ID3 Tour Pro S on 23 November. It repeatedly failed to start, needing resets. It's now back with dealer since 2 December and they don't know when it will be fixed.

I'm beginning to think I should ask for my money back and get something else.

Delivery time

I ordered a Tour Pro S on 12th June and was quoted delivery 30th October. I've heard nothing from dealer since placing order. I see now VW has a special offer - order this weekend for delivery end of September. What is going on?
