Re: ID.3 58 KW range
Speed and heating are range killers on motorway, if you can bear it turn off heating and drop behind lorry at 60mph or just under and you can hit summer range even on cold days. Just wrap up warm. I'd politely disagree wrt heating. In my 2.5 years of ID3-ing I've come to the conclusion that on Moto...

Rear drum brake disassembly
Video here from Tesla Bjorn where they open up the ‘sealed’ rear drum brakes on a 48k km id3. All looks in great condition - no issues/faults.

Re: Phantom braking
Worth remembering that the ACC response is also governed by the car mode... in ECO mode its far more relaxed (brakes more gently, accelerates more gently) than standard mode (or whatever its called).

Re: Spare Battery Modules
And the theft of the modules. That would be hard. You have to disconnect and lower the battery pack itself (200kg?) then undo c.50 bolts around the top edge of the pack to open it - then remove the main fuse/control boxes and then you can start to disconnect individual modules. Not something that c...

Re: Partial charge on Intelligent Octopus
Yeah its happened to me a couple of times. Always seems to be when I NEED to have 90 or 100% rather than when its a routine top up!
TBH I don't quite trust it for 'essential' charges and revert to a timed charge within the IO hours....
It has been reliable for the last 6-8 weeks though....

Re: Phantom braking
I’ve had no issues in 30 months or so of ownership. As Sidehaas says - switch off the auto adjust speed and it may alert you to a new or false speed limit but won’t stop you! BTW - the hardware and software isn’t just for the ID family - it’s been in ICE VW’s for years. Lots of miles of experience a...

Re: First winter in ID3
Yup. Mood music has not been positive for 4.0 for the rest of us… you never know though.
There was an OBD coding hack for it I tried an age ago that sort of worked but I never tried it in anger! Let alone code it up whilst doing 70 on the way to a rapid

Re: First winter in ID3
I do wish VW would "trust" us with a battery preheat option we could push ten min before fast charging... They could easily make it idiot proof (only works within a certain temp range etc..) and could quite realistically halve the time spent charging..

Re: How to go about a warranty fix
Thats good - to get an appointment so fast. FYI - if its a bad fault - then calling VW assist and getting your car towed to garage means they are supposed to look at it within 48 hours (not until they want to).. Also a hire car is then arranged directly via VW assist rather than the garage (which ca...

Re: How to go about a warranty fix
Book it into your nearest Vw dealer. Likely you’ll have to wait a few weeks/months for an appointment. Then hopefully they fix it. You’ll need to ask about a courtesy car etc..

Re: Cheap charging vs battery health
I’d argue that all the deg we’ve seen on id3’s so far is age related not to do with charging practices. I’ve not seen an example - even with high miles and loads of DC charging where it’s lost more than 10%. Bear in mind the id3 is three years old now - and if there were a problem with degradation i...

Re: First Winter
Yes if you can charge at home for cheap rates its much less of an issue.
