Re: Tyre wear
My car was new in October 2020, I had two punctures within a couple of months, both required new tyres. Since then I've done over 17,000 miles and the (Goodyear 19") tyres are coming towards the end of their life. I was expecting to need to buy new tyres for the car's first MOT, but my car is c...

3.2 Update woes
My car has been at the dealership since Thursday last week and today's Friday - so into a second week. When I booked the car in I was told it would be an overnight job and therefore I would be supplied a courtesy car. When I delivered the car I was told the job was 'usually two days but it can take ...

Re: Experience at a Tesla Supercharger
I have the app, installed initially to monitor my Tesla Powerwall at home. At first I couldn't see how you use the same app for charging a non-Tesla vehicle at a Tesla Supercharger. In case anyone else is similarly puzzled, from the app home screen you tap the 'user' image at top right of the screen...

Re: VW app update
My ID.3 1st Edition is currently at the dealership having software 3.2 installed. I am hoping that I will be able to lock my car from the app, because I sometimes park the car and five minutes later don't remember whether I locked it before I left it. If I could pull my phone out and check, and if ...

Re: Would you order from vw again?
I've been a bit of a VW fanboy all my driving career. My first car was a 1965 beetle. I had four Passats before my ID.3. My first three Passats were great cars, my last was a big disappointment. When I decided to go Electric, I approached the local VW dealership who were epically awful. So I went a ...

Re: Another recall!
My car had its 2.4 update/recall a month ago, and seals were done at the same time.

Re: 'Unable to load connection status'
I trawled through earlier threads in this forum and came across the following procedure to restore the car's internet connection. With the car turned off, open the fuse panel in the glovebox (for RHD cars, or under the lightswitch panel for LHD cars) Find Fuse 19 and remove it. The second column of ...

Re: 'Unable to load connection status'
In the app have you tried tapping on the + on the top right after selecting the car icon? Is your VIN displayed? I can’t remember where the option in the infotainment is (I am not with our car right now) but the option with the QR code to pair with the app - settings/connect or something like that....

'Unable to load connection status'
My car is now showing an error when I get in each time. The infotainment screen shows a 'progress wheel' for a bit, then 'Unable to load connection status' and an OK button. After I push the button I get the normal infotainment image. The internet signal strength display just below the clock at top ...

Re: Rattle
My ID3 1st Edition suffered from a rattle and I too thought it was the rear offside seat belt. Finally tracked it down to the rear seat catch recently. Resolved by wrapping the “bolt” with a small piece of paper towel! Now it’s silent at all times. I'll try the same trick you used, it may be that. ...

Re: Rattle
I had a Passat which had a similar rattle, and I discovered that the hinge pin at the bottom of the seat back, which should have a nylon or plastic sleeve, was rattling. On investigation, the sleeve was malformed and not doing its job. I got the VW dealership to replace it and the problem went away....

Re: Rattle
It's not a rear seatbelt buckle vibrating on the plastic section in-between the rear door and rear seat is it? That's a common one with cars - the buckle gets twisted, touches the plastic with the metal 'lug' and creates a soft rattling noise. Check the belts are 'in line' and noiseless. Even bette...

Rattle
My ID.3 has a rattle. It's coming from the area of the rear quarter of the car, perhaps where the rear seat back attaches to the car bodywork. It's a 'soft' rattle, I can imagine it being a wiring loom loose and tapping against the plastic bodywork in that area. It occurs at low speed when the car g...

Re: Total blackout of infotainment and instrument binnacle
Hi, in 15 months of ownership I haven't experienced this before: Mid-journey I heard a sharp 'click' or spark sound and both the infotainment and instrument binnacle screens went totally black. So... no speedometer even. After a few seconds both displays began to reboot, and within about 30 seconds...

Re: Efficiency measurement
5 miles/kWh is about 0.5 above the WLTP figures, you were never going to get anywhere near 5? As Monkeyhanger says the Hyundais with a Kona 39kWh battery have WLTP Ratings Range 190 mi Rated Consumption 230 Wh/mi Vehicle Consumption 207 Wh/mi 1610kg The Kona 64 kWh version has WLTP Ratings Range 30...

Efficiency measurement
In the far distant past (!) when I drove an ICE car, I was the kind of nerd who obssessed about fuel consumption. With my ID.3 I'm being forced to relinquish my obssession. I hoped to achieve 5M/kWh but in my pattern of UK driving I don't get above 4M/kWh, and on short winter journeys I get 3 - 3.5M...
