Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Which version of the Born have you gone for, I have to say that to me you are getting a more expensive less well equipped car unless you have gone for the bigger battery and Boost options? (Which makes it even more surprising you've got a build date) I've ordered a 58 kWh V2 in Aurora Blue with pan...

Re: New iOS App update - V 1.17.0

I'm on Android and can't recall there ever being a control for the heated seats!!!! It's also not been updated in a while as far as I know. I'm also on Android and have never had the heated seats show. Mine does not even show the correct vehicle colour, wheels etc. As for sending destinations from ...

Re: CHARGE FOR LOAN CAR

It's definitely not courteous being charged for a courtesy car. I'd never known it happen until I booked a Golf into my local Lookers branch 3 years ago and I was asked to pay £12 admin fee plus £8 excess waiver.per day. I cancelled my warranty work immediately and went to the rival VW dealership 1...

Re: CHARGE FOR LOAN CAR

yup. My local VW dealer charges £20. I've told the dealer in no uncertain terms I won't be paying. If there vehicle was fit for purpose in the first place owners wouldn't have to keep taking them back to have faults repaired. The dealers have just contacted me and quote " its £20 a day". ...

CHARGE FOR LOAN CAR

My car is at the dealers again tomorrow for the 5th time and they are now telling me I have to pay £20 for a loan car. Surely this can't be right. Has anyone else been charged?

Re: ID.3 Tracker?

My previous car, a Kia, had the tracking availability on the app, as well as being able to lock the car.
I really don't see the benefit of the ID app telling were you are, your phone, and not the car.
Maybe in time it will change.

Re: Close the door before starting to charge!

Don't open the boot whilst charging or you come back from 90 minutes of shopping highly disappointed. That's odd, I have never had that happen when I open my boot, charge always remain active. I haven't experienced this either, just wondering it might be down to difference in trim levels / method y...

Re: Speed limits on minor roads

I had the same issue on mine with the 2.1 update ( in a 30mph limit and the car map said 80mph, had ACC on which was scary). Car was returned to the dealers who performed the 2.1 update again as they told me it appeared not to have done the previous 2.1 update correctly, which seems strange. Anyway,...

Re: Things aren’t going well with the new Max

I had 2.1 done about a month ago and all previous issues seemed to have been resolved. However 2 weeks ago I had problems with the ACC and road sign recognitions, no puddle lights, infotainment screen switching itself off whilst driving. I popped in to the dealers to report and the master tech did a...

Re: 2.1 upgrade software has been updated

I had my 2.1 update done around 3 weeks ago and everything went ok, apart from the door "puddle lights" still not working. So I arranged for a 'while you wait' check from a technician to resolve the problem. However, on a journey home from York I was going through a small village (Sancton)...

Interesting document. The only thing I received was the 2.1 update and nothing else. What is now in your car's document wallet? In the glovebox, perhaps? Mine now has the README document, the same format as the old manual but much slimmer. I was also given a garish red and blue streaked face mask, ...

Re: ID.3 Life - Speakers Crackling and rattling

Hi. I picked up my ID.3 life today. I set my expectations pretty low for the sound system given that there are no rear speakers but it is way worse than I thought. I am wondering if I have a faulty speaker or two because the sound is pretty awful and it crackles and the speaker seems to rattle like...

My car had the update yesterday without any problems but prior to that my gesture control did not work ( on 783 ). Everything now appears to be working ok.
