#dq200 — Public Fediverse posts

This online article from #WhatCar is fairly useless - many interior pictures show the manual variant of the #cars (only the Audi A1 and Yaris are correct) and is light on detail - not even mentioning #Audi #A1, #VW #Polo, #Skoda #Fabia and #Seat #Ibiza are all essentially the same vehicle (if you do consider a used one check the #DQ200 #DSG box is shifting well, if the pressure accumulator housing in the #mechatronic has cracked it will cost you around £600 to fix)

Got car back last Friday - one (1) mechatronic pressure accumulator/housing replaced - VW original is steel threaded into just 3mm thick alu and constantly charged to 40-60 bar, after a while the housing cracks and the system loses pressure - common fault on #DSG #DQ200 'box. Some clever folk in #Türkiye make a replacement that a Desi uncle in #Purfleet distributes to mechanics.

Whole job (more than my DIY skills and tools could deal with) cost near £700 but I'm back on the road..

Do not want : #DSG 'box #DQ200 acting up when visiting relatives at the weekend, random loss of drive/clutch slipping, other unwanted behaviour. Scanned the OBD2 and found multiple gearbox/mechatronic related codes

Car is now at independent #VW specialist garage awaiting repair (originally only available for 2024-02-13 but they said might be able to do earlier, I can't drive it anyway at the moment)

As my dad would have said - #bladibarsket (Malaysian English curse word)
