VW ID.3

Do you have a location setup for home?

when you get out of the car did you check that the exit screen shows “preferred time” rather than “immediately”

On the screen where you have the 50-80% setup, if you scroll to the end are there preferred times configured and turned on?

in the main infotainment screen do you have a tile called “ID software”?

ok, I've no answer for you.

One thing worth trying is don't use departure time. Use the preferred time. That definitely works for me. Presumably you want the car to charge on night rate and just have a guarantee that its at 80% by early morning?

So, just set the preferred time to 0:30-08:00, turn off departure time and it will always be during night rate and should be at 80% by morning every night you plug it in.

Got car serviced a couple of weeks ago, and just noticed on the Android app 'You currently have no contracts for online mobile services'. So, I called support and they say it expired on 04Sept. Went through some troubleshooting incl. restarting infotainment system, 15 min drive, enabling/ disabling privacy options, refreshing the website etc. Call center person advised to look out for 'We Connect Plus' as an option to configure from either the car itself, or the myvolkswagen.net website. No luck so far, asked me to send some photos...

Driving to FRANCE tomorrow, which is the worst timing to notice this! I cannot monitor charging from the app, AC, start/ stop charges. Worst case scenario if they can't help me today, I presume I can still START and STOP a charge in France without the app? E.g., Connect charging cable to car, and use the infotainment system/ in car screen to kick off a charge?

Any help appreciated! Will update with what customer service suggest next... Of course this would happen before I take the car overseas for the first time!

The VW portal just updated maybe 10 mins ago - The customer service person has appeared to have added a new contract/ activated a new contract (see attached). The app still isn't copping on to this, though. No payment requested when I was on the phone. (Nor was I expecting to pay to have the ability to stop/charge/monitor the battery via the app, to me this should be a normal default feature?)

I'm going to follow his troubleshooting tips again and see if it refreshes in the actual car.

My only concern is, will I still be able to charge the car? E.g., I always used the app, and assumed that was how it was done as standard - but I understand now that the app feature is more of a 'bonus' tool and I should be able to charge the car without it?

I've tried everything, phone restarts, infotainments system restarts, privacy setting restarts, driving the car for 15 mins, all the troubleshooting recommended. It seems my contract has been renewed, but the app doesn't realize that yet, nor the car! I presume I don't need the app to start a charge at WeCharge compatible and Ionity charge points? I'm hoping I can just plug n' play.

Going on a mini break tomorrow to Limerick from Sligo. Looking at charging(and coffee break) options I am thinking of stopping at the Galway Plaza on the way down for charging. Anyone with experience of travelling on this route let me know of my options - thanks in advance

Id3 went into VW Drogheda last Monday for update, battery module check and parking sensor.

Currently waiting on module parts from customs and collection pushed out to next Friday.

Loan car Cupra Born, interesting to compare the two cars. Kids like the flashy look of it. Few people asked who makes it and they don’t get the Cupra bit so have to tell them it’s a Seat. Enjoying driving it, nice car. Great service from VW so far.

No reversing camera.

Which one are you looking at?

If it's the one in Dublin that's not a 1st but a 1st Plus so it'll have the camera and matrix headlights.

I would be very surprised if you couldn't buy one currently or soon for 20k privately.

This appeared on my app. Car is 3 years old at the end of the month. Any idea what's it about?

Does the Born have a choppier ride than the ID3? I find the ride in the Born quite choppy at times particularly on back roads, maybe the ID is a bit softer sprung.

You’re spot on, it’s definitely firmer on the road, slightly stiffer suspension and quicker steering.

If I was 25 again I’d be all over it 🤣

I wasn’t sure about it at first, the aggressive styling etc but it’s a great package. Gets a lot of attention.

Soft touch plastics and suede on the inside are lovely -

Mine is very hoppy on poor roads, I've checked the tyre pressures and they were on the high side which I corrected sometimes it feels like there's no suspension at all😡. Where would I find these transport blocks? Are they between the spring coils?
