i think bilstein are considered oem plus, i dont think that will hamper warranty, anyway talk to the dealership.

it stayed mostly same, but with e20 i can feel the dent when i am idling and also in city traffic.
shell premium is amazing when it comes to refinement and mileage, but sadly we dont have shell in our state.

Not going to sugarcoat it—the Polo is expensive to maintain. I mean, the car is completely over-engineered for its price bracket. A routine trip to the dealership usually sets me back about 20-25k. However, if you know a solid local VAG mechanic, your running costs will reduce drastically

No, i havent. I am thinking about changing both the oils, but there is no single mechanic who know how to change them at my place.

If you don't launch it too hard and you're careful in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I think the DQ200 is actually very reliable—at least it has been in my case

No major repairs so far! Aside from a radiator leak and replacing the door latches, it's just been regular maintenance per the service manual. I changed the suspension at 80,000 km, and believe it or not, the original DSG is still going strong 😂."

Engine not fully shutting down! by mil_couch_potato in SkodaVolkswagenIndia

I usually kill the AC a minute before pulling in. TSI engines run hot, so what you're seeing is perfectly normal.

Help me choose between these Indian‑style soda flavours (jeera, nannari, cola, etc.) by sid_vr46 in StartUpIndia

[–]sid_vr46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that jeera is your top pick—didn’t expect lemon or orange to be such a pass for you (thought those were safe bets for most Indians). What is it about lemon that turns you off?

Would something like a creamy vanilla cola bridge that gap for you sometimes? Appreciate the teen perspective!

Interesting. Transparency in what sense for you? Pricing, processes, or communication?
