The dealer had stated 3 pin charger was supplied, as it wasn't they loaned me a black rubber ribbed e-Golf charger from collection of car on 23rd over Christmas which has worked fine.
Today I returned the e-Golf charger and they sold me at cost price the ID.3 3 pin charger IC-CPD (Model: 1EA 971 675 D), grey box with 4 leds, black mains cable and bright yellow cable to car.
It has taken 3 charging attempts and numerous fault finding steps to finally go from 65 - 80%:
- Car charged about 1% - house electrics tripped due to earth leakage tripping.
- Reset trip, plugged in unit outside - no lights on charger.
- Plugged unit on inside - lights on charger lit up.
- Plugged charger in outside - lights on charger lit up - car recognised charger and started charging.
- I noticed car charging light had gone red, car had stopped charging after a further 1% - no lights lit on charger.
- Disconnected charger from car and from mains.
- Reconnected charger to mains and car, charge started and has now completed to 80%.
The charger is outside surrounded but not in snow, temperature is -4C, I experienced no similar problems with the e-Golf charger over the last week.
Planning charging for journeys is going to be very difficult, I am unable to rely on the charger working as expected without any notification from the vehicle that charging has stopped.
