VW will have to work very hard to tempt me back into one of their vehicles.
Well, would VW want you back? Goodbye.

Re: LHD Wipers Fitted to RHD Car

I'll take your word for it but I can only speak as I find. In eight months of ownership I haven't experienced any issues driving in adverse conditions. Mountains and molehills come to mind! What is ti with the repetition of the 'mountains and molehills' phrase? If this thread has members who are aw...

They should move in the same way that the outer vents move. Yours may be stuck a little?

Re: Second hand value and depreciation

Why would you change back to an ice? I would have thought that being in a ulez zone would have been a no brainer to remain in a bev? One of the plus points for me of using a bevv in town is that I am not poisoning the local population as I drive by. (Yes, I know about electricity generation, etc but...

Re: Quick Intelligent Octopus Question

Interesting about tracker. I don't think it is easy to get on to tracker rate though is it? The other issue is that we use around 55% of our electricity on off peak according to Octopus so the Go/Intelligent rates make a lot of sense for us. At the moment we are completely at the mercy of VW to get ...

Quick Intelligent Octopus Question

With all the hassle we are having trying to get our ID3 up and running on IO (no webshop/car shop showing, etc) I was wondering if I should register for IO using my PHEV Kia Sorento. The main question was whether we could register through the Kia and then just go back to what we did with Octopus Go,...

Re: Wireless phone charge overheat - surgery?

I’m no expert but I thought the issue was caused by a combination of wireless charging and wireless CarPlay/ android auto was the challenge. Further that this was a broader issue and not just with the id3. Could be wrong though. That is what we find - using the wireless charging and Carplay at the ...

Re: "Currently updating the range of offers"

I have sent VW all the info they wanted - screenshots/photos etc and will wait to see what they say. Getting annoying now that they can't even update software without major issues.

Re: Synchronisation

What software are you on? If you are on 3.0 or later, there is a synchronise now button in the app, at the bottom of the settings screen. But it should do it automatically at regular intervals and when you do anything through the app. If it doesn't work, you also need to enabled permissions for eve...

Re: Anyone going to Harrogate?

I had a quick look at the Porsche Taycan price breakdown stuck to it’s windscreen. Lovely car but virtually £1k a month PCP? Or £100,000 of someone’s cash? Now where did I put that lottery ticket. Haha was that the hot pink one? I had a brief look at it. To be fair there were some even more expensi...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Woes

I have the same issue of the car not showing and the weconnect app shows the same issues that ksoni94 had, with the park position, etc not working due to no weconnect plus. However, when I go to the shop in the car it only says 'updating products please try later. How can I get weconnect plus?
