Re: 12V Battery
I had this when my 12v battery was failing, in the end getting it replaced under warranty. I started to get a lot of errors on startup, which I do not think helps the car, getting the proactive occupant restraint warning also after a time. I had tried driving and trickle charging the battery and th...

Re: 12V Battery
Over the last few days I'm getting an amber warning triangle and a low 12v battery charge message, plus the suggestion that I should drive the car to charge it. Now I have been driving it daily for the past week, doing about 40 minutes twice a day, half of it motorway driving, Clicking into the noti...

Re: Changes in Charge Level in App No Longer Control Car
Similar experience. Got the software upgrade late in December. Subsequently put the car on charge overnight and it charged to 100%. I assumed that was because my settings had reverted to the default setting as part of the upgrade process. I reset the max charge level to 80% in the car, not via the a...

Re: Can you use strap-on Bike Racks on an ID3?
I did successfully use a basic Lidl/Aldi strap-on carrier to carry two standard hybrid/touring bikes. Just to see if it could be done. I was a little anxious, suspecting that the whole contraption might come flying off half way down the motorway. I travelled about twenty miles each way with no probl...

Re: Range degradation
It was Christmas Eve, Babe, when I got the car back (from the south Dublin VW dealer) The agent said to me, we couldn't complete the upgrade. And then he sang a song; How tricky upgrades can be. I turned my face away and dreamed of my old ford focus. So happy Christmas. I love you ID3. I can see a b...

Re: Range degradation
Interesting comments. I accept the point about range .v. %. ~It makes sense to use % as the default indication. Same as the old ford focus told me I had half a tank or whatever. The est. range is just a sales promotion thing really. When the car was delivered (a Covid thing - I couldn't collect due ...

Re: Range degradation
Is heating the battery necessary, even when the car is not in use? I've logged my range loss over the last three days with the car sitting in the driveway and not driven; Started with 203 km, yesterday it was 183 km, today it's 160 km. Average outside temperature 5-7 deg C. That's about 5% loss per ...
