Re: Scheduled charging - EV app or car?

I've got a Wallbox charger, and it charges the car fine on a timed charge. I don't think their app is particularly intuitive though, but I did manage to get it set in the end. Also tried using the car timer. It worked, but seemed to charge slowly. According to the Facebook id3 UK Owners Group - very...

Re: Handbook

Thanks for all your help with this. I have asked VW UK how I can get a printed handbook and will post their reply here if they come up with anything.

Handbook

Can anyone confirm that VW have produced a proper paper handbook for the id3 please?

I've been having a battle with my dealer who says that he can't get one for me as they don't exist.

Anyone else had a puncture?

Had a puncture today, and couldn't for the life of me work out how to use the sealant kit provided. I called out the breakdown service, whose mechanic had no idea how to use it either. Phew, not just me. As it happened the sidewall was torn and not repairable anyway, so it needed a new tyre. Has any...

Range indicator confusion

I'm getting confused by my range indicator, and wonder if anyone can shed some light on it. After a night of sitting on the drive, the range indicator was showing 129 miles. Literally two miles down the road - half 30mph, half 50mph - and it's showing 115 miles. A mile further on and it's showing 11...

Re: Trip computer?

Sorry, I haven't really made myself clear. In my previous car - Focus ST - it had two trip computers. One I let run for lifetime figures, and the other i reset at the start of, say, a holiday, to give me total miles, mph and consumption on the holiday. The id3 only has Since Start, Long Term, and Si...

Re: Trip computer?

Thanks for that - but as far as I can see that only gives you how many miles you are doing per kWh.

What about average speed, journey time, journey distance?

Trip computer?

Isn't it a bit odd that a car controlled by computers doesn't have a .... trip computer?

I am a newbie however - perhaps it's hidden somewhere in the menus and I haven't found it yet.

Three weeks into ownership, and really enjoying it.
