Scottish Government Recommendations to Local Authorities are that at least 20% of Licensed Taxis are wheel chair Accessible. It was said that the LEZ in Glasgow would mean 400 less Disabled Access Taxis would be available as they did not comply and the owners could not afford to convert them to comply. Anyway, there are plenty Taxis in Cities in Scotland that are Wheel Chair use suitable, and that includes in Glasgow. Maybe more will be EV,s like in Dundee eventually.

OK. Skoda call it a S-A, Semi Automatic, but same thing. So a DQ200 7 Speed Twin Dry Clutch DSG. It needs diagnosed by someone that knows what they are doing, and repaired by the same. So with all the gear and more than ideas. All the best with it. Hopefully it is the simplest of fixes, but until it is known where the leak is and why leaking anyone is just guessing what is required or the cost.

Welcome. Many have had the same problem. ? How many miles on the car & how long have you had it? It is a DQ200 DSG 7 spped twin dry clutch DSG. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/425419-dsg-gearbox tToo late now if it never got that done. You just do not want to pay more than is necessary to get yours fixed. As to a new DSG required. Unlikely if it is a leak and not a leak because something hit the box and cracked it. (You might need parts other than just sorting the MCU if clutches worn etc. Have someone else look at it that knows about these gearboxes, (Were they an Autobox Specialist that did?) what they need to know is about DQ200,s, & about Skoda Service Campaign '34H5' on DQ200,s from 2023-2015 and the Software Update. Preventative because of Pressure Issues, Pressure Actuator, leaks, cracks etc. There are repair kits if that is the issue. Check with a Dealership or Skoda UK if the Service Campaign was required and done since 2017. So where the leak is from matters, is it the MCU and not actually the Oil in the Gearbox leaking but from the ECU. There is a Pinned thread on the DSG,s at the top of the Skoda Mk2 Section. I will ask a Mod to move your thread there.

Rishi Sunak has a right little crisis coming with the Irish Republic over migrants crossing from the UK into the Republic / EU & seeking asylum. Amazing how he is trying to spin that people going there from the UK shows that threat of being deported to Rwanda is working. Fleeing the UK across an open border after reaching Northern Ireland on not so small boats. His smile and handshake & hello i am Rishi, is going to get him no place with this as Ireland hold all the cards. http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68914399 .................. As to Reform UK & Alba. Parties formed and lead by people how are not politicians and not elected by anyone to be a politician, funded by whoever from where ever, so no different really from the other parties. It is their ball and if you want in their team do as they say.

Lots of Mercedes e-Vito People Carriers and Vans used by Golf Resorts / Clubs, Hotels and Taxi Businesses in Scotland and for VIP / Public Transport at Events. & Vauxhall Vivaro Mini Buses , WAV,s. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/505480-open-golf-standrews-mercedes-ev-people-carriers

The chart is there showing what they recommend then for a 1.0 TSI and if yours is 2019 on it shows what they say about using VW504 instead of VW508. If you did use VW504, or if i did i would use 0w 30 FS III. Go Castrol Edge if you want. It is not what UK main dealers might use these days. They might use Quantum which comes from Fuchs.

@Graham Butcher I know what you mean. & there are Hybrid TAXI,s / Black cab style that are wheel chair accessable. & Mini Bus style, and ones used by Care Homes / Disabled Centres & by Car Clubs etc Ambulance Transport. Location location location when it comes to rules. There are luxury ones used commonly. VIP transport, Airport Transport. These look like a great concept for wheel chair user / drivers for their use or family / passenger use. With EV,s the world is your oyster once the Platform is there to build the vehicles on.

Welcome. @175GDY Has not logged on to the forum since 2020. Maybe there are others here that can help hopefully.

That is not backward compatible. If you do not say what engine or year your car is then giving answers is not so easy. Rapid. Pre 2018 you are not wanting VW508 00 / 509 00, & not with a 1.2 TSI, or a 1.0TSI pre GPF. Petrol Kamiq very likely is VW508 00 / 509 00. And as for Fixed Service they do not tell you. But it need not be long life oil. VW508 00 / 509 00 0w20 FS IV comes from many many oil producers other than Castrol, Quantum / Fuchs. Mobile. & approved by VW Group.

@Graham Butcher The Minibus Taxis are all around, maybe not that you see though. The issue being Accessability for Wheel Chairs, but there are plenty choices now and EV,s. A plan is to maybe have all those that have held a driving licence and never been re-tested in 50 years to have to take a driving course and then a test and have them done in town traffic and in an EV so that it is about their road craft and observation.

Adding the correct Coolant to top up & be sure the Coolant has the correct strength / ration for Antifreeze Protection, & as a Summer Coolant & Rust Inhibitor is not an issue. It is adding just any old H2O that is an issue and introduces nasty stuff into your engines journals and coolant system. (So that opens the whole H2O / Tap / Bottled, hard or soft, minerals & the 'de-mineralized water' or 'distilled water' discussion.) Use the correct water....

The BEV,s are being built around the world and it is getting to be less and less in the UK not more. They work very well for many Couriers, Private Hire / Taxis, and town / city cars and cars going further afield. What a song and dance there is from many that might never have even tried one and has no intention in the next 11 years of getting one. 'Just say no'. See your driving years out in whatever you damn well want. It might never happen, you might step out in front of a silent vehicle tomorrow. Or a V8 if you are a bit Mutt & Jeff and maybe the eyesight is going and your reactions.

@MickA If a TSI you can use VW504 00 / 507 00 for Fixed servicing or Variable, so likely 5w 30 FS III or 0w 30 FS III. Or for Fixed VW502 00, 5w 40 FS or if you find any 0w 40 FS. If i TDI it is VW 504 00 / 507 for Fixed or Variable. VW507 00 being what is required.

@lol-lol I charged yesterday at home. Off to see the New MINI Aceman and need all the range. Previous charging time at home was Monday & 3kWh showing on car 95 % 88 miles - 100 % 94 miles. 3 kWh 60 pence. Yesterday having done 13 miles since being at 100% coming off a 'Free charger' 84% 83 miles, to 100% 99 miles. 6 kWh, £1.35. Charging at home on a normal All Day / Night tariff so much different from a 'Offpeak' Special tariff home charging.

There are quite a few 'Reviewers' / Journalists / Vloggers saying it overshadows the VW ID.4. There needs to be many smaller BEV,s getting punted though that Fleets will want to run. Kia Niro sized and smaller for the use of just a driver, NHS, Carers, Social Workers and many others from Agencies, Local Authorities, Utilities etc etc, & obviously just drivers, commuters etc. Not everyone has a family, partner, friends or the need to carry passengers or stuff. VW Group need to get their small BEV,s out as do Ford and many others that are behind what the Chinese, South Korean, Japanese and even the French are building. (In what ever country.)
