VW ID.3 2020 with the original 5 year old Pirelli Cinturato All Season tires DOT 2821, mileage 49tkm / 30k miles.
These marks show up on the front axle outer side only. I consider changing them soon due to age and wear , just want to know what it is and if that’s to be expected (ah, and i have this 1000 km roadtrip coming up- are these safe? ;p )

Edit: Tire pressure is checked regularly

ID.3 2020 with Heat Pump, 40.000km

Update: thanks everyone for your input! I Went to the VW workshop today and they found the refrigerant (CO2 gas) pressure was too low, causing the issue. I paid 300 EUR for the check and refill. (Germany).

The Service Advisor cautioned me to regularly use the A/C even in Winter, to prevent seals from drying up.

(My car has low mileage for its age, and too infrequent a/c operation might have caused the premature loss of gas )

In today’s summer heat (34-38C, 93-100F, overcast) the A/C cooling performance seemed utterly inadequate. Like, the air from the blowers wasn’t even really cold.

Parked with ignition on and A/C on „LO“, cabin temperature would stay around 31C (88F) during 10 ish minutes of continuous operation.

I had just finished a highway trip and the HV battery was at about 40 C (104F) and I wasn’t connected to a charger , so battery coolant pump showed 0 RPM in the scantool.

Does this seem normal to you?!?

Thanks

Bremse mit Gas verwechselt: Auto kracht in Hauswand

Angeblich habe er Gas und Bremse im Auto verwechselt und raste daraufhin in die Hauswand. Der Fahrer wurde hierbei leicht verletzt und wird vom Rettungsdienst behandelt. Nähere Informationen liegen derzeit noch nicht vor.
