I got version 3 with my July gtx. Question on Google maps... Does everyone else get painfully slow input lag when typing in a destination via the infotainment screen?

You mean the inbuilt satnav or android auto?

If android auto then I wouldn't say it's painfully slow, but I've noticed the connection between the phone and car can lag sometimes and slow down the typing

I've actually found the voice controls are pretty decent in android. I even tried giving it a destination in France and it managed to decipher my West Brit accent 🤣

Android auto.. plugged in or wireless.. trying to input a destination typing takes like 2 seconds for a key to respond..

Hmm, I have noticed it wasn't great, but I don't think it's that bad on mine. I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how it is

Anything with a build date from week 50 2021 is coming with v3.0.

Same, though that could be the phone also.

So I had a bit of entertainment with my ID. Back brakes decided to lock on while i was doing 100kph on the M50. Lots of smoke. Not so much braking power.

Guided it off at the N7 exit and had to get it towed.

entire brake assembly including the hub has to be replaced.

Just something for other owners to be aware of.

Jeez, that's unlucky. Glad you're all safe

Ffs that is terrifying and not what I wanted to hear

TheWonderLlama

The towing guy was telling me he is towing nothing but VWs at the moment.

One dealer told me they are not taking bookings for anything other than VW warranty work through VW connect. They have enough work for months.

Kind of worrying.

What year is your id? Hopefully it's not going to be a widespread issue.

TheWonderLlama

last year. 211

pad199207

First time I’ve heard of that and yes hopefully it’s not a widespread issue otherwise the drivers and VW itself will be running into serious problems.

Liam2021

Ahh I'm 212 so hopefully it's not widespread.

Out of curiosity did you get the 2.4 update recently?

Mine's the same generation, so bit worried 😫

There aren't that many people here complaining about ID cars breaking down, so maybe the issues are mostly with ICE cars?

Still, something to keep an eye on

cannco253

Did the ID light go red before the brakes came on?

Did you have ACC on by any chance?

I have had absolutely no problems with my ID4 1st edition and I've had it 18 months

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119731421#Comment_119731421

Meh. If you were worried about every issue you read on here you'd never buy any car, nevermind the id4.

Rattles in the rear, rear brakes locking up, infotainment randomly failing (audio, Bluetooth, Android auto etc), cars going offline for days/weeks, updates taking days or more, MCU replacement, door latch replacements). How many has your car had? How many issues do you hear any other car having!?

TheWonderLlama

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119731421#Comment_119731421

Nope, its getting the 2.4 update while its being fixed. I would suggest you ask them to check the brake assembly when its in for servicing.

No, no warning light at all.

No.

Guys is there really any noticeable difference between the 174hp vs 204hp.

30hp!!! Is it worth the extra????

Thanks

I have the lowest spec model (City 52kW battery) not sure of the hp but I think it moves like a bullet!!, even with a low charge (now I did come from a clunky diesel CMax!)

Said it before and il say it again, get the 204hp- The 174hp is perfectly fine and may suit most people, I had one as a loaner and couldn’t believe how under powered it felt- just my 2c, BlazingSaddler is also correct, I’m used to i3’s, niro’s and id3’s so it depends on where your coming from -

Recently I was driving up some Welsh hills and I can say the 204hp had plenty of power to go up a steep A road

I reckon with the lower horsepower version my grin wouldn't have been quite so wide, but I don't think I'd have been lacking power

id.4 fan

I asked one of the VW dealers and he said he drives both the 174hp & 204hp and can tell no difference between the two!

I don't understand why VW would sell two different motors with only 30hp in the difference if increased performance is not that noticeable.

The price is noticeable though...approx €1500 more expensive for the 204hp version.

I'm coming from a Diesel 140hp Avensis.

I suppose either or will suit me just fine then.

I have the 204bhp cupra born which is very slightly faster than an id3 204 and maybe slightly faster than the id4 204.

Apart from the initial launch power I'd say I'd be happy with the 174 in the id4 and wouldn't notice too much different. EVs feel faster than ICE, I came from a 190bhp tdi and the EV feels much much faster, from take off anyway.

I've already stopped launching at full power except to show off to someone their first time in the car. If identically specced and 1500 euro saving is a big deal to you I'd say go lower powered one. But drive it yourself first.

Residuals will be strong on either car

Hey folks,

I've been getting these notifications for the last two days when I start the car. I've gone through a couple and logged into account again via phone and they still come up. Any ideas on how to get rid of them?

Cheers,

Mick

Get what suits your needs mate, the 174 is still a fine car, I don’t believe the new dx versions represent good value at the moment but the price of everything has gone up, I do appreciate that there is availability of id4’s whilst other car manufacturers have longer delay.

You could test drive both, the difference will be clear to you then, vw Drogheda have a 174 to test drive, vw airside a 204, that might help - the €1500 difference would power your car for years.

Obviously if you want a far superior, faster, and totally different option consider the Seat Born 😬

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119738026#Comment_119738026

Are you sure the Cupra is faster than an ID.3? Both have the same motor and identical 0-100 times, on paper anyway.
