Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKThis online article from <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WhatCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhatCar</a> is fairly useless - many interior pictures show the manual variant of the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> (only the Audi A1 and Yaris are correct) and is light on detail - not even mentioning <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Audi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Audi</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/A1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A1</a>, <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/VW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VW</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Polo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polo</a>, <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Skoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skoda</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Fabia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fabia</a> and <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Seat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seat</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Ibiza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ibiza</a> are all essentially the same vehicle (if you do consider a used one check the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DQ200" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DQ200</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DSG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DSG</a> box is shifting well, if the pressure accumulator housing in the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/mechatronic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mechatronic</a> has cracked it will cost you around £600 to fix)

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKAt least I caught it *before* whole thread gave way and accumulator gets yeeted at 60 bar into the oil pan (which bulges it out, causes the mechatronic to dump out some of the oil and leaves the car totally without drive and more parts needing replacement)If you drive any <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/VW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VW</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Audi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Audi</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Seat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seat</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Skoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skoda</a> with this <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DQ200" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DQ200</a> / <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/0AM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#0AM</a> 'box its worth budgeting for the cost of the work (it /can/ be a DIY job if you have right tools / workspace and can 100% ensure there is 0 pressure in the system before repair)

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKGot 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 <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DSG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DSG</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DQ200" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DQ200</a> 'box.

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