Bikes will be much higher up but at least the lights work now on the bike rack, never did on leaf
Bike tow bar 1,300 lids, fitted
In passing, is it possible to measure individual journey distances: the leaf has trip A, trip B
I did a quick search at the website on the day. The rates may also have changed between then and now. I was just curious.
Thanks, bought a Samsung A15 late yesterday which i will try today
If it works ok with other phones, then the problem is most likey with your new Honor 70 and not the car.

You sure the PCP figure is right? VW are doing 0% PCP on the ID3 as far as I'm aware so the payments should be - (41,000 - 20,000 - 4,000)/36 = €472
USING ANROD PHONE WITH GOOGLE MAPS.
Smashed my One plus One android on site last week so had to buy a replacement one in a hurry to complete a job.
It's an Honor 70 Lite which is running android v 12. was 160 in Three
Anyway it doesn't work consistently in the car, says searching for GPS at some stages, drops off at other stages and at other points just leave me with blank screen: in all a pain.
So is the issue the phone? or some update to the already crap VW software.
The old phone worked seamlessly with maps.
My iPhone works fine in the car
Any thoughts?
Thanks as always
Thanks guys/gals: APR now with VW is 6.5 which it much less attractive.
I will keep the car but will explore the BS they came up with.
^ that’s why you should minimise apr and deposit and monthly’s and maximise your gfmv. Mind yer own equity. That’s my way of looking at it anyway.
I agree with PCP. It's a decent financial product, that allows people to get a new car for less monthly. But in this case buyer has lost depreciation value, and deposit, and APR cost of finance.
I've had 4 PCP cars now. And there has always been some equity on top of GMFV after 3 years. It usually matches size of initial deposit/ trade in. It's just all a very expensive exercise.
If it was me I would keep the car, as VW wants up to 20 to buy a 3 year old car. So at least you get to keep a car you know has been looked after.
I think pcp is brilliant as you are protected against depreciation. Especially if you had a 0% finance deal as I’m sure op did.
VW themselves think so. I just cheked the website and the new ID.3 Pro 77 kWh with basic everything is 41k new, 20k balloon, 4k deposit (minimum) is 631 per month on 36 month PCP. This is pretty grim. HP over 60 months is 692.
Just a question- I understand that if he traded the car in against another car the dealer would have to allow the full value of 17k. However given that finance could be with VWFS has the dealer no flexibility in pricing to shift the car? The other thing I wonder about is that a high mileage 3yr old ID3 should be worth about 20k?
The car has to be worth paying the 17k for to keep it instead of paying another 1.6k and then walk away with nothing. PCP is a real pain in the neck in the current climate, you pay good money monthly for 3 years and are then pretty much forced to take another loan to pay the balloon not to get into the same mess again in 3 years time.
The HP over five years would be more preferable in my opinion because then you actually have something to show for your monthly payments.
As VW sold lots of ID.X on sky high prices since 2021 the second hand market will stay depressed for years to come. You know your current car so the best is to just keep driving it for a few more years. You can't buy any comparable second hand car for 17k minus the 1.6k over mileage charge.
Those values look like very poor value. Quick question, is it an ID3/4? But it sounds like your local garage doesn't want a 3 year old car back as a trade in. They can't offer you less than your GMFV. It means guaranteed minimum future value. And you either take that value as the amount you need to pay to own car, or not. And walk away, like a 3 year lease.
Sad to see zero equity, after your outstanding loan after 3 years. Deposit gone, APR cost of finance gone.
I suppose the question then becomes will the dealer negotiate on the eur 17k GMFV - given the state of the 2nd hand market?
Much obliged, will talk to them again!
check out the CCPC website. https://www.ccpc.ie/consumers/money/loans/paying-for-your-car/pcp/
well I will ask again
well it is. You hand the car back and pay the penalty for mileage. The garage don’t want you to do that of course
My understanding of the deal is as above, not as simple as pay the 1,600 and walk home
I’m not sure I understand your post is this for trade in? you can give the car back and just pay the 1600 and start afresh.
Would welcome any insights on the following?
So coming up to the end of the 3 year PCP in October , with 17k due as the bullet payment.
Car has 72,000 kms on the clock now so say 80k in October.
Called the garage
1: 60 k limit so 8 cents a km above that : 1,600
2: VW Ireland "own the car" and they will ask my garage do they want it and the garage might offer me say 13,000
3: If I accept, am in for 17-13 + 1.6= 5.6
4: If garage says no interest VWI will auction car and it it makes 12, I am in for 17-12 + 1.6= 6.6
Garage advice: keep it or sell it privately
I agree on all points and I use B most of the time.. however this is a new sensation
I have 86k kms on a Leaf, same pads
Pads should last much longer than that on an EV. I actually found the braking very weak on both my ID.3 and current ID.4 in D mode. That's partly why I use B mode for 99% of my driving.
OH driving it a bit thees days and comments that the brakes seem to be " more aggressive" especially when you are nearly stopped.
Took if for a spin and I agree, especially in D mode.
66k kms so maybe new pads?
I agree but since the last time it was in the garage/ or and software update
phone app not working
auto dim not working
bendy lights not working
online access to manual
The work around is a bag of pellets in the drivers seat to make it stay on
Pretty normal in - temps. Pre heating the cabin while plugged in should help quite a bit.
Cold snap killing range for short runs, as MadLad highlighted years ago: 50 kms of range for 18 kms of drive at <=70-80 kmh
I had that issue before, if I remember the solution was to place the key fob in one of the cup holders (theres's a symbol/ icon printed in one of them) and then press the car start button a few times to fix the pairing. It might be described in the on screen manual.
It was a car software problem when car was new. Garage did an update and key fob was fine after that. Over 3 years ago now, so don't remember the full details. I do remember the cheaply made key fob, all the internal bits went flying and had trouble getting it all back together again. Had to open the other one to see where the spring attached...🙂
What was the problem?
I have the same on one of my keys, changed batteries but still doesn't work
