Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

This is getting very confusing with lots of text from We Connect which is pointless. Your repeating yourself but not answering questions. Information you are giving is contradictory (or confusing) I'm genuinely trying to understand what is happening but it's not clear. Agreed it is confusing, thank...

Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

My latest reply from VW Connect is unbelievable, basically that features that did work in the app / car have been broken for future updates. Is it really true that even the features that previously worked related to charging no longer work? Or is my car just wrongly configured as I have previously e...

Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

I hope I haven’t missed the point but this just sounds like all the investigation and configuration We Connect had you do has made the problem worse and wasted a shirtload of time. I’d remove all the location and schedule stuff in the car and app and only have a cap of 80% set in the car. If you ne...

Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

Hi Simonrg - Please don't take this the wrong way, but it has been stated on this forum, the Facebook groups, the EV Forums and admitted by VW that the In car scheduled charging function DOES NOT WORK...... Hi G43FAN Thanks, I know the scheduled charging does not work, that is not my problem, sorry...

Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

Frustrating turns out they were referring to 2.3, which I got back in October. It appears whoever sent this message had not reviewed any of the information I have sent them over the last 2 months and they are now asking me to repeat all the actions and to send them information already sent. I seem t...

Re: VW Contacted to Promise Me OTA Update Q1 2022 - So Can't Be 2.4

Since last year I have not been able to rely on charging occurring as set on the car, for example I set 80% car charges to 100%. That's been the same for 100% of other users. There are some workarounds but the In car scheduling doesn't work consistently. ................ Again standard resolution p...

Re: iD3 refusing to charge on public chargers

.............

The plastic debris was in the bottom of the bottom par...

Re: Changes in Charge Level in App No Longer Control Car

Thanks, it does appear to be a software glitch.

Having reinstalled the app testing it when the car...

Changes in Charge Level in App No Longer Control Car

I used to be able to change the level to which the car would charge to from the app, that no longer works, has anybody else seen this or know what causes this? In the past, I would set charge level to 80% on leaving the car to charge overnight and then raise to 100% on the app when I woke up prior t...

Re: Range issues

Hi all Thanks for sharing your stories. I had my ID3 delivered this week and have been concerned that the range is well below what I expected in the winter. So far I’ve done 75 miles since charging to 80% and it’s down to 21%. Which would make 127 miles for a full 100% charge (even though I’ll only...

Re: 4 Minutes from Entry to Climate Operation - 2.3

When you start it defaults (before any screen coming up) to the last settings. So mine is set to 19 deg with ac on - and pretty much from when I sit in the seat it starts warming to that temp. Regardless of getting the climate screen up. Mine didn't do anything until the climate system was availabl...

CCS Not Charging Due to Small Plastic Debris

Just in case it helps anybody else, if you are failing to charge double check for any debris in the ID3's charge socket grooves. I was saved by a another ID3 driver on the evening of the 23rd after multiple failures at attempting to charge (Instavolt, Gridserve, Ionity, Instavolt, Instavolt), while ...

Re: Do you follow VW advice on battery charging?

Pretty much, I let it go down to 20% though as most of my journeys are local. This article I linked recommends 40% lowest for the winter and short journeys. I know, hence “pretty much” rather than “absolutely”. Reading https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/electric-and-hybrid/should-you-go-electric/servi...

Re: Charging etiquette - visiting people

My logic appears to be the other way around to everybody else. I would normally charge at home, so why when I am away would I not charge at "home". Plus it seems to the best way to practically let people see how simple / trouble free an electric vehicle is and how yes it is different to an...

Re: Miles per kWh settings

Long term averages are interesting, but good to know averages speeds as well. It would be good to know all the other figures which are displayed - average speed, total mileage, total time - we all know going faster reduces miles/kWh, but I suspect total time sat in car will also reduce as heating et...
