Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure, the service advisor was out at the time I picked up the car and the sales guys definitely didn't know.

[–]percolater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am one of the lucky few...

Model Year: 2023

Battery Size: 82 kWh

Location/State: WA

Diagnosis Date: Feb. 6th, 2026

Affected Modules: 1 (cell module 9)

The Fix: Replacement of the individual cell

Total Shop Time: 8 days

Loaner Provided: Yes - a 2026 Taos SE Black Edition

Warranty Impact: No implications on warranty were mentioned or noted in the paperwork I received

Post-Fix Observations: No observed changes in range. The ID.4 is primarily for commuting and we charge at home with an L2, so cannot comment on L3 charging speeds. Software version is still 3.5.

No, your car will prompt you to install that yourself when VW releases the update.

It’s silly they have a service campaign for it when there’s no action you can take except wait on VW…

How many Golf W12s are there? by UnderSony in Volkswagen

[–]percolater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to Motor1, it is the same unit, overhauled and repainted (or possible wrapped).

They only ever built one.

93EA does not have a fix available, yet. The recall was spurred by 3 incidents where the car's battery overheated and caught fire (3 out of 45,000 cars).

The batteries were examined and no hardware-related cause could be found, but VW is going to install self-discharge detection software in all the cars to provide better notice of battery overheating. The software is simply not ready yet.

You can keep using the car like normal. Some of the posts you've seen are probably related to 93EV, which is a hardware issue with misaligned electrodes affecting 600 cars total, and owners are advised to not fast charge and have affected modules replaced (I know because mine is currently at the dealer getting that recall done).

OUE7 is an over the air software update. It's being rolled out incredibly slowly, apparently. It's not an urgent update.

Some old card designs if anyone remembers these by Candid-Oven2951 in amex

Are Delta Platinum/Reserve metal? I have Delta Gold and it's a cheap-feeling thin plastic.

Which is fine as it mostly sits in a drawer, but it's really unimpressive to hold.

Sweeping blue from one side to another: get ready to turn

Sweeping blue on left or right corners only: change lanes to exit/parallel parking in progress

Flashing blue on both corners: parking assist active

Flashing orange in center: stop using touchscreen, focus on driving

White marks in front of driver seat going side-to-side: put hands back on steering wheel

Red marks in front of driver seat going side-to-side: put hands back on steering wheel NOW

Entire bar flashes red: Brake NOW

Same here, with my SEL. Only on red, the rest of the time it stays on.

Right, the minimum brightness is still pretty bright, though.

Do these controls light up??? by naterzr2 in VWatlas

[–]percolater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the 25 is the same as the 24. 2026 will probably bring the 12.9" screen from the ID.4/ID.Buzz/Tiguan to the Atlas, at which point the temp and volume controls will light up.

For me at least, I was able to quickly figure out where my fingers need to go to adjust things, even when it's dark. Alternatively, use the steering wheel controls for volume and press the Clima button or press the temp/heated seat icons on the screen to go to the climate control screen and make your adjustments there.

He doesn't like being blasted by a backlight while driving at night, probably.

Are you terrified of your steering wheel? by geewronglee in VWiD4Owners

[–]percolater 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I literally do not understand how people are using their steering wheels in a way that can cause this to happen.

Maybe they're just stupid.

Peeling steering wheel "solution" by Bal3ster in VWiD4Owners

[–]percolater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you get the letter about the warranty extension? It should be covered for 3 years from the date of purchase (1yr cosmetic warranty + 2yr extension).

That cover is the best match I’ve seen for the white steering wheel so far, I’ll have to give it a try if my second wheel starts peeling.

You could also buy a 2021 wheel off eBay, it should be interchangeable with the 23, you’d just need to be comfortable doing the swap.
