Question re timed/location charging:
After my 3.2 update, I set Home and schedule to 22:00-07:00 everyday, charge to 80%. So to test I got out and plugged in at home expected it to sit there doing nothing till 22:00, but it started to charge immediately. Am doing something wrong?
When you put the car in park the screen will show you what settings it has active so even if you have location etc set it’s still possible it was set to charge immediately.
You need to ensure it’s sets to charge at “preferred times”… that can be set just before you get out on the exit screen.
Thanks @KCross worked,
Another Q, is there a way to no need the S pin, everytime I try uncheck the need S pin box it re checks it and tells me to disbale it in the app - but all I see there is set a new S pin
Aviloo but it will cost you €100 approx

I vaguely remember that bit. There is an option somewhere to disable that but I cant remember where it is or if its in the car or the app. I thought it was done in the car but I honestly dont remember.
Did you get it sorted?
Nope, so in the car I go to where there is a toggle to switch it off, but it has a message that says you need to do this in app or via website. I load up app, and go to user settings , all I see is Forget S pin (?) which I think resets it?
You might be able to get around it by adding a new user, setting your details then, if it works, remove the first account.
I didn’t set a pin, looks like that was a good move, the user screen is annoying enough!
Ok, zero idea what I did different but S pin is no longer asked for ( via the car screen user settings asked not to need S pin, almost certain I did that three time the day previous any ways, two drives no S pin needed ).
Next question, I have my pdf manual for my MY 22, re the timed charging/charging locations settings etc is all that still accurate? - having trouble understanding the exact actions of each setting and over riding etc.
Hi,
Can any of you explain in simple terms what effect 145HP versus 204HP would have on day to day running of the ID3? Contemplating buying a 2022 model, 145HP.
Thanks in advance!
Appreciably better mid range acceleration,no range penalties whatsoever
That’s what I was hoping! Thanks so much @adunis
Perhaps someone else could confirm, but does the higher power motor allow for greater re gen ability before needing to use brake pads?
Anyone know what this is “outer ambient lighting (variant 3)” on the id3?
There's only two variants either the basic led lights front and back with the eyebrow DRLs.
Or
Full matrix led lights/taillights with the full length light bar DRLs what car is it ?
Thanks for reply. It’s the facelift pro, I added the matrix lights as an extra the “outer ambient lighting variant 3” comes with that added package. The dealer didn’t know and thought it maybe the lights on the door handles. Just wondered did anyone know on here.
There is a recall on 2021 factory fitted Goodyear tyres. We had a blowout when inner wall failed last September. Paid for two new tyres

I recon it is the full signature DRLs then
Just coming back to this.
there is a recall on factory fitted Goodyear tyres. It appears there have been several reports of the inner sidewall failing. This happened us last October when we had a blowout and we were asked to pay for two new tyres.
potentially serious safety issue so do check to see if your car is affected.
we were lucky not to be travelling at full speed when it happened but had a nasty 90 minute wait with two five year olds behind the barrier in wet grass until we were rescued.
I replaced all 4 Goodyears for Michelin after about 10k as I found the grip dreadful on them in the wet. The Michelin are a vastly better in my experience. Fingers crossed the new one doesn’t come with Goodyears!
Seriously dangerous looking failure for a top brand tyre;
Yep great fun on an exit off a motorway with kids in the year old car. I’m glad nobody was injured.
Did VW give you anything for the tyres you had to replace?
No. Not yet anyway.
Don't hold your breath...
Small claims court ??
Maybe. I’d have to see if we have evidence of the damaged tyre.
A receipt should do. There’s a recall on them. So didn’t need to see damage
Is the recall on just the 19's or on the 18's also?
The link from @fits only mentioned 19's I think and the image is also of one.
Just 19s as far as I know.
I doubt it, they’ll say they want to inspect the faulty tyres which presumably you have already disposed of.
