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).

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 ...

Re: Breakdown Set/Tyre Jack/Wheel Locking Nuts

Useful to know the tyres aren't run flat! I didn't get an inflation kit - and I'm sure I didn't get a locking wheel nut adapter - I'll check tomorrow...

Re: Enhanced ID.3 Offers Coming

Basically VW are offering £500 "gesture" if you bought cash and £1000 if you bought PCP. Apparently that is the fixed rate... It seems you only get it if you make a noise. email executive.office@volkswagen.co.uk and ask

Re: I'm a bit worried about the range

Before I received my car, I worked out that 'fuelling' my electric car would cost me 1/10 of what fuelling my diesel car cost. I got that wrong. I have a fairly light right foot and my Passat Estate used to do 50MPG on a run, or 40MPG around town. At £1.20/litre, that worked out at between 11p/mile...
