Hello again, to convey my previous experience, but I also need a little help. I have been researching this dq200 hoping to solve the problem myself because the price they are asking in Belgium and surrounding countries is crazy. After watching a lot of videos on how to disassemble and assemble, how to test various parameters, I found that I lose pressure very quickly, that the pump works properly and builds up pressure, and I established that it is not a mechatronics problem, but a pressure accumulator or an aluminum plate. Since I couldn't test where the crack is (I don't have a compressor or suitable adapters), I bought a replacement accumulator Kinergo MSU04 for pressure, oil for the mechatronics and for the gearbox, as well as the digtung cover and tubular oil filter and prayed to God that it wasn't a plate. I did not measure how long the pressure holds before replacing. Now with the new one it lasts about 18-20 seconds Does anyone know how long the pressure accumulator should hold pressure while the car is idling?

Indeed. The withdrawal of the Federal EV credits caused sakes to drop big time. EV sales have recovered a lot with fyel doubling in price. The Buzz will need to be biult cheaper, LFP pack etc and buyers happy to pay for a premium over rivals.

I thought they were not building in the USA in 2026 until dealerships clear stock.

yeah gates or dayco, for example, OE timing belt for 1.5 tsi engine is made by Dayco. For the Volkswagen Group's 1.5 TSI engine (brands such as DADA, DPCA), Dayco produces the main camshaft timing belt (catalog number 941060, 20 mm wide and 163 teeth) and the smaller oil pump or water pump belt/belt (catalog number 941160, 81 teeth). It is about Dayco HT (High Tenacity) patented technology, better known in the automotive world as "White Belt". The white layer on the inside of the teeth is a special film of PTFE (Teflon) patented by Dayco and bonded to the basic nylon-aramid (Kevlar) fabric that covers the belt teeth. Extreme friction reduction: When the teeth of the belt fit into the grooves of the pulleys, friction occurs that over time "peels" ordinary rubber belts. Teflon dramatically reduces this friction. The belt slides smoothly and almost completely eliminates wear on the fabric of the teeth. Protection against lateral wear: The belt moves slightly left and right during operation and hits the edges (flanges) of the pulleys. The white PTFE layer also covers the lateral parts of the teeth, protecting the belt from lateral "backlash" and cracking at the edges. Modern 1.5 TSI engines have high direct injection pressures and develop enormous temperatures under the hood (over 120°C). Classic rubber would harden and crack over time. The Teflon and advanced HNBR rubber from which the belt is made remains elastic and stable for years Internal structure (fiberglass): Behind that white layer and the rubber, inside the belt are strands of high-modulus fiberglass woven into a spiral. These ensure that the belt does not stretch at all over the years and kilometers, thus keeping the engine's timinge perfectly accurate. you dont need that for alternator belt, but i read this on Autoteile.

Ha! I'm planning a drive to Prague next month. Couldn't have picked a worse time for petrol prices... I wonder if they'll give me a discount for driving a Škoda?

Hello, I've just got back from a bit a difficult road trip across eurpoe where my skoda superb estates' infotainment system got stuck in a reboot loop. I managed to stop and buy a USB-C memory stick in germany and have brought my system from P1560P up to P27800P which fix the problem and at least some of the journey home was a bit less stressful. I'm now trying to go the rest of the way up to P33200P, but I believe I need a stepping stone to P30603P first. I've tried downloading MOI3_EU_SKMQB_P30603P.zip from mibsolution.one three times, but when i try and extract the archive I get a CRC failure. Is this a common download problem? Do I just need to wait and try again another day or could the file be corrupt on the server? Thanks

Not tried it, I will do next time it's up on the ramp and let you know

What I'd love to know is just what the van was carrying, if anything other than the driver, possibly a passenger and their luggage on that trip. It also works out at an average daily drive of 139 miles. Isn't Volkswagen ceasing the ID Buzz because of poor sales?

The British Gas, Open Reach or Water vehicles are regularly sitting charging around this way so either the worker on a break / lunch or just sitting being paid while charging happening.

Hopefully many electric, horses for courses. Electric great for urban and with a few tens of miles radius and have the wiesel can be usex for the longer journeys and really cold weather. EV vans are getting better fast, batteries over 100 KWh, load capacity and cost to run far lower than diesel or petrol vans.

Loads of works vans about now, contractors for Councils housing repairs using them. Lots of utility companies as well.

Hi, Also running 338.322 (don’t know when it has been installed), i ´ve checked today. But still new updates installed today.

Good reliability it seems for the Buzz but it also reflects VWs wider issues of is it good value and press abd sales show many are choosing the much better value PV5 and now there is a PV7 out. One can see Audi performance continuing, Cupra and models like the VW GTIs but in so many areas VW are just not competitive. They certainly went skne strange places abd how were they charging at sub stations rather than normal DC charging stations ? I gave a 16A granny charger and I think there are some 32A around somewhere and I think on some places they had to use an ordinary mains outlet and leave it charging overnite. Takez time but if one is night sleeping its no bother. State of Charge of over 96% after 100k kms is pretty good and would indicate plenty of slow charges rather than mostly rapid DC.

I would like to know how many hours were spent plugged in for 300 charge cycles with them averaging 207 miles per charge cycle. Also what the average speed was from the time driving.

Same problem with the Seat Leon, this problem seems to be through the whole VW 1.1 & 1.5 4 cylinder engines.

Skoda are a fantastic manufacturing company but they are tied to VW which was a good thing from the early nineties but for the last over a decade it is not good. My first Skoda was a Felicia in the mid nineties. Had numerous, more than a dozen VW, several VRSs and L&K as well as normal ones but in the mid 10s the seem to get much more expensive and not really outstanding. From then I mainly bought Renaults / Dacias and they have been the best selling versions of cars and award winning rightfully so IMO. VW is going to lose 100K jobs in the next few years and close several factories. Spain seems to be their preferred manufacturing base and I do like the Cupra brand too. Hope Skoda in Chechia survives as they are a great people and a joy to visit. Cool Skoda trams too..... Volkswagen has won the European Car of the Year award multiple times.

Wow, some journey....... A standard Volkswagen ID.Buzz has set the world record for the most countries visited in a continuous journey by an electric car – covering 61,992 miles across 92 countries in 445 days, including “more than 300” charging cycles. Technical inspection service TÜV Nord, which assessed the vehicle on its return, certified the battery state of health at almost 96 per cent. Last year, European Rally Champion, Miko Marczyk, managed 1,759 miles on one tank of diesel in a largely unmodified Skoda Superb – driven from Poland to Paris and back. Following this, a team in Colombia drove a Nissan Qashqai e-Power more than 1,200 miles in one hit, setting the record for the longest distance driven without refuelling or recharging in a non-plug-in hybrid. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/id-buzz/370469/volkswagen-id-buzz-sets-massive-ev-distance-record

Hi i have the same problem on my skoda octavia 2025 tsi manual i always turn off start stop ,sometimes at traffic lights or say going slow to a speed hump the engine cuts out the skoda dealer says no fault code and pass it off and say they cant find anything.

My car has the same issue. It’s started after one of the cylinders didn’t fire up when I started the car once. That has not happened since that one time but this issue with the lumpy/rythmic idle with the revs increasing and returning a little every 5 seconds began after this. Would this fail an MOT due to this ?

Took another £20 to get to full!

I feel much better about my fill up at the weekend. No pre auth here.

Ouch

Tried to fill up today but hit the pre-authorisation limit before it was full!
