There seems to be a severe turbo lag when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear in extreme uphill..(i am from northeast, the usual terrain even in the state capital roads is mostly slope with added traffic). So, basically i drive uphill in 1st gear only 😂😂.

Also, when launching in uphill (around 40 degree gradient) in 1st gear.. the car takes time to get its pickup even when RPM is around 2000.. I have been driving manual i10 naturally aspirated since 12 years but this car (manual) requires different level of expertise ngl..😂

Guys kindly suggest some tricks or tips especially during launch in slopes.. (p.s not the usual handbreak techniques)

I recently took the test drive of the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 AT (8TC) and have the following queries,

• The cabin feels quite noisy at city speeds, and the engine and transmission seem to work hard, providing an unsettled experience.
• The new 8TC feels jumpy the moment I press the accelerator, making it difficult to control in stop-and-go traffic. The previous 6TC (which I tried in Slavia, Kylaq) felt better.
• The suspension is quite firm in city speeds, and concrete roads are quite noticeable.

Please share your thoughts on this.

I have recently booked a new Kylaq in bangalore and wanted to install a dashcam. Got to know that the Skoda Dashcam cost is 10k but the quality is not that good and better options are available in the market for 10k. Can some Kylaq/kushaq/slavia owners help me with some images or video on how the official Skoda dashcam quality is.

• Is it worth 10k, or managable?
• Can we get better product in the 10k range?
• Does it void warrently in skoda if I install a aftermarket 12V DC Dashcam?

Would really appreciate if someone can help me with some real images/video?

Hi everyone,

I bought a Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 facelift Manual around two weeks ago, and it's almost time for the 1,000 km first service.

I'm looking for recommendations for a Volkswagen service centre in Delhi that genuinely does quality work.

My main concern is finding a workshop that is honest, doesn't push unnecessary repairs or charges, takes proper care of the car, and has experienced technicians.

If you've had a good experience with any Volkswagen service centre in Delhi, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

It would also help if you could mention any service centres I should avoid based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

There is a 2023 Skoda Slavia which I’m thinking about. Below are the specs. Is it a good buy ?

Variant : Ambition 1.5L TSI MT
Km driven : 12k

Price : 12L

Can someone help please ?
Thanks

Has anyone had the rear AC vent slider break on a Kylaq? What did the service center charge to fix it? Did you go with an OEM replacement, or is there a more affordable alternative?

I intend to buy a Škoda slavia.
Cannot afford the top end model
Around 15 to 16 lakhs maximum

My preference is currently
Slavia 1.0 signature MT.

And should I buy new or used ??

Hey guys I bought virtus Highline 1.0 in December, 2022 so it is E10 compliant only, till now i have drove more than 1.20 L and my monthly fuel cost is around 14k-15k, i drive my car very smoothly and no rash driving and i keep my RPM between 2-3. And i reside in Noida.

So earlier i use to get mileage around 15-17 KM/L in summer with AC and around 18-19 KM/L in winter. Now my mileage has dropped to 14-15 KM/L in summers and in last winter i was getting average of 16-17KM/L. E20 blended petrol still rate high and mileage dropping i have no idea what to do. Forcing to switch on EV? but thats not the solution. Don’t know what this stupid government want.

Now lets come fuel pump issue which i have faced.
I was driving from Bihar to UP Recently, I experienced what I initially felt was the downside of using E20 fuel.
My Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 suddenly stalled in the middle of heavy traffic and refused to start. After several attempts, it finally started, and I drove straight to the nearest Volkswagen service centre.
The technicians connected the diagnostic laptop, and the diagnosis suggested replacing the fuel pump assembly, with an estimated cost of ₹18,000–20,000. Ironically, the fuel pump wasn’t even available in stock.
Instead of replacing it immediately, I requested them to clean the fuel pump filter. They weren’t familiar with cleaning the internal strainer, so the mechanic removed the fuel pump assembly. I assisted in dismantling it and discovered a small internal filter (about the size of 2–3 tea bags) that was heavily clogged with dirt and debris.
We cleaned the filter thoroughly using petrol, reassembled the fuel pump, and reinstalled it.
The result? My car has now covered more than 1,200 km without a single issue. My total bill was just ₹2,500 instead of ₹20,000 for a new fuel pump.
I’m sharing this only as my personal experience. If your vehicle shows similar symptoms, it may be worth checking whether the fuel pump strainer is clogged before replacing the entire fuel pump assembly. Of course, every case is different, and proper diagnosis is essential.
Has anyone else experienced something similar with their Virtus, Taigun, Slavia, Kushaq, or other turbo-petrol cars?

Yesterday I received a call from the dealership about extending my 4 year warranty which will be ending in start of September by 2 additional years for ₹22k.

Now my main concern is my car is not e20 compliant on paper since it’s a 2022 model but Škoda says all their cars beyond April 2020 are e20 compatible. Either way if tomorrow my fuel injectors give up, Škoda owes me a free replacement but won’t they simply deny it saying giving bullshit excuse like “you have used wrong fuel” or whatever they say!

So is it worth it getting the extended warranty? Or in other words can Škoda be trusted to keep their word if any problem arise during the warranty period?

I’m buying a new car and wanted to know if I can do ceramic coating at home.
If you have done it at home, please share the products you used, how easy it is and what to keep in mind?

I have ordered 70 mai A810 but confused on memory card.

I have checked
SanDisk 256GB High Endurance Video microSDXC - 7500 Rs in amazon.
Samsung is costs more.

I know it's due to the AI Chip shortage.

Can you guys suggest few under 5k that supports this dash cam.

Thanks.
