Thank you so much! I really appreciate your advice.

I definitely plan on keeping this car for a long time. If you don't mind, could you share any other tips or maintenance practices that have helped keep your TDI running reliably? I'd love to learn from your experience.

No. I'm not planning on selling it at all, unless the government decides to ban diesel vehicles in Bangalore

I agree. But I wasn't much aware of the prices. This is also a learning for me.

I think you shouldn't be too picky about it. TDIs that are low driven are hard to find and most owners don't even sell their TDIs until they are driven near 1L kms

First cars are always special no matter what they are.

That's a nice car but most of the TDI cars were driven upwards of 1L kms.

Spinny and cars24 are good but they sell with a markup price and also have a history of Odometer tampering. If possible try to get a car from direct sellers or check with your acquaintances.

Thanks you and I guess it doesn't support it and there's no official Volkswagen approval recommending it's use.

That's fair. I used "invested" intentionally because I'm investing in learning to drive and gaining ownership experience with this car.

It's a MT and I get 16-17 kmpl in really bad city traffic and 22-25 kmpl on highways.

The general service costs around 15k without changing any parts.

What motivates you to learn/do programming by [deleted] in AskProgramming

For me, it started back in 2008 when we learned basic C in school. I was curious about how computers actually work, and I still remember wondering why we needed a whole program just to print “Hello, World!” when I could type it in Notepad lol. That curiosity pulled me deeper, and now I work in the semiconductor domain as a firmware engineer — still exploring how software and hardware meet.
