VW seemingly won't even acknowledge that it's a problem, so doubtful.
Wonder if that will be fixed in MY22 cars...
Not to my knowledge, but others may be more familiar with this issue as I believe its been discussed on this and other forums before.
So it's there for life, even if VW did acknowledge it was an issue, there's no retrofit fix?
Definitely not something that can be fixed with software. It appears VW have used LHD configuration on RHD models to save money. It just looks so wrong. Of course it was a dry day when I did my test drive and never noticed it until yesterday! Its not a deal breaker, just odd.
I’m not sure it’s as simple as swapping around the crank arms (which would be above my pay grade anyway 😁), but I agree visibility around the right A pillar is sub-optimal. I guess with time I’ll get used to them but it just looks odd. The blades themselves seem very lightweight to me and may be the first thing that needs replacing.
It has been aired many times on this forum, agree it's not great. Noticed the streak line last night alright, hadn't noticed it much before the dry weather. There seems to be a bit of grease and road film on the windscreen after all the dry weather.
What I find worse is that the drivers wiper does not go as far up to the A pillar as on the passenger side, because of the initial settled positioning of the blades. Because of the distance of the windscreen from you this leaves quite a blind spot on the right of your vision, particularly when the screen is dirty.
I reckon it is possibly an easy job to change around the blades, just a swap of the lower crank arms. But VW will not admit there is a problem.
Commonly reported issue alright on the UK Facebook owners page.
Not sure if it's something can be fixed via software either, is it a case of changing the pattern or is it tough luck due to the wiper shape and position?
First day out in the car in rain today. Have to say not too impressed with the left hand drive wipers on the car that haven’t been adapted to right hand drive. You might not think it would be a big issue, but I find you get a big residual streak of water across your field of view from the left wiper that is distracting. Why (apart from cost!) could VW not have put RHD wipers on the car? Love this car, but loses a little love over this. Anyone have similar experience?
Delivery dates were realistic and then everyone was hit with the semiconductor issue which made a mess of everything.
Another week gone by and not as much as a hello from the dealer, surely there could have been a more realistic delivery date than the middle of July ?
Sunday is the 1st of August ( unbelievable ) and I really can't imagine having the car by the end of August at this stage. That's a long wait. I'm just starting to get a little irritated at this point.
Don't think so. There was no other EV'S around. Just that it was the first time I'd tried it and wasn't sure if it should work or not.
My charging is about 99% esb charging via the we charge card and it’s works most the time. Sometimes the charging session bums out after a few sec but restarting usually solves the problem. Tbh I had more problems with ionity chargers than with esb ones. Maybe some leaf owner stopped your charging?
I've had issues with the 50KW unit in enniscorthy where it'll fail to connect after a few seconds.
I charged there last week though and the screen had changed so the software may have been updated on the unit but it did connect straight away this time.
No sign of Part 2. Was reading on the VW updates info that the updates download when the car is driving and then install after the prompt, whenever suits. My car has not been driven since the 1st part of download this morning and may not be driven again until next Tues due to work commitments over the Bank Holiday. Will be interesting to see when the second part comes in...
Cool. Thanks.
They have always worked fine for me. Some of the new triple head ones don't seem to be on the We connect app map, but the one in New Ross worked fine for me. Will be interested to see if I get charged for it on Sundays' bill. I think Titian Germ had problems with the Enniscorthy one, but haven't had a chance to use that one yet. Normally when they say charging has started, all is well. So, seems strange in your case..
Can someone confirm that the We-Connect card works on ESB Chargers.
Was in Wexford yesterday and plugged in to a charger. Used the We Connect card and it said charging had started, but when I returned to the car about 30 minutes later, charging had stopped. Should I have used the ESB card instead? eagerv and ideas ??
First bit done, took just less than an hour. No sign of the prompt for the main part as yet...
No prob, many of us had the same issue..
Perfect thanks!
Are you doing the larger part 2 bit or part1?
getting this update is like winning a lottery….
You do it on your phone settings. Change language from English "UK" to English "Ireland"
Is it possible to change the units for the charge level in the We Connect App on iOS from Miles to KM. Cant seem to find anywhere to change it in the app.
Car updating at the moment. Remember to turn off/down radio before doing!
Mine is blaring away outside, all controls in car are disabled so cannot silence, luckily waited until morning to do update as can hear even in house.🙂. App also dead during update so handy way of checking when finished..
Hopefully, we ordered around the same time. 🤞
I was told mine would be delayed by four weeks. I was due to get delivery last week. Hopefully it’s also waiting to get on a ship now.
I was told mine is built and ready for delivery, so fingers crossed. Nothing they can do about chip shortages but its strange how more recent orders can be completed first - I see the same on the ID.4 thread. Maybe dealers have pre-booked certain models?
Week 26 for me, I believe that's when it switched over to model year 2022. I had no updates on the website until last week when the equipment details appearead and the VIN appeared Monday this week.
