VW ID.3

I think I'll try and get a set of Goodyear efficientgrip.

Took my car into the dealer today for an upgrade to 2.4 (and new battery) that was booked weeks ago.

Sat around for ¾ of an hour while they assured me that they were cleaning the loaner car. Finally was informed that none of the updates that they've been doing are taking and that VW [not clear if it's VW Ireland or VW Germany] have told them not to continue. They say they'll be back to me in a few weeks.

Not at all impressed with this. At the very least they could have rung me.

I'm also not sure I believe the story. Have others been told this? Are others getting their software update completed?

Mine are at 35k km and still have ab 3mm. I did rotate tyres couple time but now two tyres on the left side are worn out on the outer side so have to change them and get tracking done again. Last time the tracking was done by VW and tyres rotated but the front one going bold again. Will replace them with efficient grip, €127 on tyreleader.

I finally got an OBD delivered and pulled the above screen for others to compare to your results. The difference between mine is way smaller than yours was displaying.

The maximum energy content of my traction battery is 56000ish.

Yep, this is how it should be. Actually the OP on the speakev thread I quoted earlier has posted an update saying that VW is going to replace the battery. I hope I will get the same treatment.

Hopefully it's sorted quickly for you. What has your dealer said?

Actually I don't know if anyone have noticed by the recent OTA fixed the issue with Android auto not displaying the route guidance on the drivers display (only the distance). It used to happened to me on the road between Bloomfield and dunkettle. At least some bug fixes.

Anyone who has had 2.4 installed, did the navigation also get updated?

I think the latest version is 22.6

Currently on day 3 of our 2.4 update. Car has been in since Tuesday with the dealer. Apparently the update comes in 4 parts for them and parts 1-2-3 installed correctly part 4 is causing problems and they are currently trying to resolve. Software and updates don't seem to be a VW strong point. Hopefully we will get the car back tomorrow.

Its some dose with the ID3, repeated software update issues, battery swap outs, phone calls, emails, dealer visits, and thats over almost 2 years, since its been out. And at least a year of issues, Is it becoming a pain ?

i understand some teething problems are inevitable and understandable, but this series of issues, seem to be dragging on for quite a lengthy period

Mine went in on Tue too. Got it back today so into the 3rd day. And VW Germany have it down as an 8hr job apparently!

I think it is partly down to the speed of the internet at the dealer. If they have a poor connection it takes an age. I don't know why VW don't allow them to download once to memory stick and then update the car directly from the memory stick. Maybe a security concern or something.

Its not that big a deal. Any of the 1st edition owners knew when purchasing that the s/w was only beta and I don't know about everyone else but I had to sign a document to say that I understood that before they'd hand me the keys.

I have the car nearly 2yrs and apart from one or two glitches in the first few months the car has not let me down. Drove it the length of France a few weeks ago. Not a bother.

The promise from VW now is that with this v2.4 update the rest of the updates will be OTA (although they did say that before!).

The biggest gripe outstanding for me is that the in-car charging timers don't yet work. v3.0, which is due in the next few weeks, is supposed to fix that. If they get that right the software issues are fully resolved in my view.

I disagree - for people still to be experiencing issues almost 2 years down the line is unacceptable. Appreciate that not every 1st owner has had issues but there is a sizable proportion that did and there are several examples (in the UK anyway) where people had their money refunded, although admittedly that was within a few months of taking delivery of the respective vehicle. Indeed I believe there is a post on Facebook on the Irish EV Owners Association as well.

I cannot recall having to sign a document acknowledging that the software was in beta.
