Re: “Electric drive not working”

Kelvin when i first bought the car i had and electric drive fault that came on and then also cleared after a couple of days and the car was fine. When the 3.2 update is applied this looks for issues that vw new about and highlights the battery’s issues. I would still go for the 3.2 update i find it...

Re: “Electric drive not working”

Hi Andy so they have changed a module on the car and i get it back next week. What was interesting was that when i got the new software installed if i logged on the app to view the car after a few hours of being parked the range displayed would be a big drop off, and the when i would get into drive...

Re: Cockpit Setting

I think the stats view is only available on software V3.2. I think same. I have one id4 on 2.4 and another on 3.2, and the display is different as you describe. 👍 Definitely only available from 3.2 software, wasn’t there after 3.0 I now have it plus a driver console lit up like Christmas due to the...

Re: What's your mi/kWh (miles per kilowatt hour)?

Since the last ‘long term’ reset (I think that was when I got software v3.0) over 2k miles ago my mi/KWh is 4.2mi/KWh currently. Admittedly there’s very little motorway running at the moment but lots of A and B roads. I’m also trying to be a hyper miler, easy on easy off and mostly in B driving mode...

Re: Id4 - puncture repair - using 12v socket

You all probably know that ID cars are fitted with “VW resealable tyres” and so no repair kit, let alone spare tyre, is supplied. However, thought I should share the following: In the event you need to pump up an affected tyre, and assuming you are not on a garage forecourt, you’ll need to plug in ...

Re: New to us ID4

Good Day and hello, Two days ago we took delivery of our June 2022 demonstrator from our VW dealer. ID4 pro Performance 77KWh. Our previous 2016 Passat Alltrack estate was in for its MOT earlier in the month and I got a valuation that was very good in my eyes. We had a solar system with battery, an...

Re: Error message and battery range huge drop

I have the same message since updating to 3.2 but it coincided with the last app update giving a more detailed “health report”. I’d already been referred for a proper battery check at a BCC but the warning didn’t show until the app update. I’m booked in for 6th September luckily and hopefully that w...

Re: “Electric drive not working”

Dealer workshop tells me the fault warning is all to do with the battery recall and will be cleared when it goes to the BCC. I damn well hope so, my confidence in VW is diminishing daily though.

Re: “Electric drive not working”

Andy interesting today my fault came back, spoke to the garage and they were quite open and honest and discussed that after the v3.2 update and the battery check, that this is a common problem. Some compatibility issues, after the battery check my car was found to have faulty cells but speaking to ...
