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?

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

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!

Booked in for Monday now 🤞

Amazing, thanks. I'll do so this evening - no mega hurry on you to respond tho!

I have a 2017 petrol Octavio which I hadn't used for a couple of weeks and when I tried to start it the battery was flat. I charged the battery for a few hours and locked the car without starting the engine as I was in a rush. When I went back and tried to start the engine it wouldn't start and the alarm started going off. There were lots of warning lights on the dash and I couldn't stop the alarm using the key. I ended up having to disconnect the battery to stop the alarm. I'm guessing there's probably a problem with the battery and that I'll have to replace it. Do you guys agree or could it be something else? The current battery is the Banner EFB 6R0 915 105 B which I guess is the original one. If I have to replace it, any recommendations for a reasonably priced alternative? And will I have to get it "coded" or something before it will work? What does that involved please? Thanks in advance!

Mine went like this and would eventually power up quite randomly.

Where is your Indy located?

Thanks for your replys guys My car is on 20k not 2k lol
