Re: Octopus Tariffs
It all depends how much electricity you are using for the house and how much for the car! Our id3 has been sitting around a lot of the time so we haven't used much to charge it. We have PV (though this winter has been rubbish for solar radiation) and also air source heating, which is our major use (...

Re: Thud/Clonk sound at low speed turns ?
I have a 'knock knock knock' sound from the rear under strong braking. Perhaps our cars are just trying to amuse us? I had this when we first picked the car up in September. We were up north at the time but it was a bit worrying so I took it to the dealer as soon as we got back. By then it wasn't s...

Floor covering recall?
I took my ID3 in for it's 2.1 upgrade today and noticed a note on the file saying "Floor covering recall" - the chap at the desk wasn't able to enlighten me as to what this entailed. Has anybody else had this recall?

Re: Alarm goes off at random
After several months with no alarm issues, it has gone off twice in the last three nights - at around 05:00
But looking back over this thread, it seems that there is no fix in sight...

Re: Condensation front window screen
I've noticed quite a bit of condensation inside, despite using the aircon. In my wife's Mazda mx-5, it's due to drain holes for the retractable roof being blocked but that shouldn't be a problem with and id.3

Re: Bike prep.
I have an ATERA DL3 as well and use it on my California. The rack weighs 14.5 kg as you say and I think this needs to be included as the limit is the total weight on the tow hitch. The California limit is 60 kg so not much difference from the id3. I have two electric mountain bikes , which weigh 20 ...

Re: Navigation with full postcode
Every time I get near home my nav system announces "Caution: limited access ahead" - really annoying! I think I might have to move house... or at least where the nave system thinks my house is. Generally, i have very little time for VW nav systems, my Passat decided that Rugby was a nice p...

Re: Cheers!
Hi @Emanuel and @rthomps - I agree that the ID.3 is a great car - I really enjoy driving it. I just wish VW would get their act together to sort out the software problems but that should happen before we come out of lockdown 3.0!!

Re: Alarm goes off at random
My alarm went off post upgrade to 0570 so I took it back in but they couldn't find any fault :( I asked them to upgrade to 2.0 but they didn't have the software :( :( and are only allowed to upgrade if they find a fault that the upgrade should fix. Didn't sound very helpful to me but I wasn't able t...

Re: Non VW branded 3pin charging
I regularly use a 10m granny lead bought from Screwfix for £160. I've not had any problems charging (unless I stop charging and try to start again). The amount of home charging I am likely to do made me baulk at £500 for a 7kW charger... So you're the one who bought it! I found it listed as 'in sto...

Re: What are your best bits?
I agree @heidiFlowerpot - the lights are absolutely outstanding. My Passat had lights that moved with the steering and my California has automatic dipping LED lights but the id3 lights are way better than either. The way they cut out just the segments that would otherwise blind the oncoming traffic ...
