Hi, i have recently purchased Slavia and the seat is of fabric. I am worried about fabric seats getting dirty and trapping dust.
Can anyone guide me how to get Skoda genuine Seat covers which are airbags compatible.
Skoda service advisor told me the covers will come from factory with my car VIN number but the person seems to be confused himself.
Looking to buy top model Monte Carlo Kushaq, drove both 1.0 and 1.5.
Consideration that I know of :- differences in ride quality, and performance.
Have heard that 1.5 gives better fuel economy too, but that in the 2-cylinder deactivation technology.
My topmost consideration and request from real time user is that of DSG reliability as it is 80%city and 20% highway usage for the initial few years.
I will be buying the extended warranty.
Wish to have 1.5 because already pouring in so much money and 2 lakh difference and 1.5ltr performance makes a sweet deal and VFM as compared in top model
1.All four disc brakes, not just the front ones
2.Front parking sensors — actually makes sense given how long the car is
3.Panoramic sunroof — really opens up the cabin, especially from the rear seat, makes it feel more airy.
That’s pretty much it in terms of meaningful changes. I already love how the current one looks, so that’s not really a factor for me.
Where I’m stuck is — if I buy the current one now and the facelift drops shortly after, there’s just that feeling of why didn’t I wait. (Very dumb I know, but that’s how the brain works)
So a few questions if anyone can help:
1.Are these 3 updates major enough to actually wait for the facelift?
2.Does the AC issue carry over to the 1.5L as well, or is it mostly a 1.0L thing?
3.Any idea on when the facelift might actually be announced?
Would love to hear from anyone who has more info or is going through the same dilemma!
I had booked Skoda Kushaq Classic + MT 2 months back and still waiting for delivery. As per the dealer it may take another 4-5 months. Anyone getting delivery of the vehicle? I feel the company is deliberately delaying the delivery for the base model. Any thoughts?
Hi, can anyone tell me how to use this windshield fluid i purchased from skoda SC.
Hello Škodis, I bought this one recently, it is my first car. It has 60,000 miles. I will use it mostly for leisure with my family.
I do not understand anything about cars, so I was a bit nervous because ChatGPT was against it and recommended rather a Toyota for lower maintenance cost..
But my gut decided it will be this car!
Happy to get any advice on how to enjoy it and avoid trouble in the future!
😛🤘😘
Hi, I’m gonna get my new German car (Slavia) soon in Hyderabad. This is my second car, had Baleno Manual previously for 8 years, completely stock.
I want to know if the Graphene or ceramic coating are of any real value?
What works better ? Definitely against PPF after the damage I saw in some videos.
If so, who are some of the trusted vendors in Hyderabad?
Also, what are some of the VFM accessories in should get from the dealer, beyond the essential kit?
I had the idea to lower the kylaq as it was too unstable on the cornering on roads with high speed, like after 75 to around 80, confidence gets low
Do you think this is the best idea? to lowered skoda kylaq
and which suspension will be best if this is a good idea??
Details
2022 model
Style top variant
1.0 TSI
~44,500 km driven
No accidents
No insurance claims ever
Complete service history
Warranty valid till May 2028
Condition is excellent overall
I initially listed it at ₹13.5L, then gradually reduced to ₹11L after almost no serious conversions.
Spinny offered:
₹8.45L initially
₹8.8L max revised offer
I understand aggregators buy low to maintain margins, but I’m trying to understand the actual fair private-party resale value in today’s market.
Realistically:
What price should I expect from an individual buyer?
Is ₹11L still reasonable with extended warranty and clean history?
Or is the market genuinely valuing these cars below ₹10L now?
Would appreciate honest opinions from people familiar with VAG resale trends in India.
Guys I recently got the 1st servicing done for my Skoda Slavia 1.5 AT. Now I know the german sedans are not well known for their city mileage. But I swear I feel the mileage has perceptibly reduced after the servicing.
I used to get around 10-12kmpl before. I even remember getting doubts digits in bumper to bumper traffic. But now I'm lucky if I get 10+ on a 15-20km trip in the city even when I drive with a light foot. My long term mileage is also around 9.5 or something.
Is this normal? Will it get better? Should I take it up with the service center?
I recently bought a Skoda kylaq 1L manual days 95 octane recomennded showroom person says use normal fuel..i currently use indian oil xp95 as shell doesnt have a specific 95 petrol what do you guys think and use??
Hey Everyone I fulfilled my wish to own a Virtus 1L AT and had been. Getting an average of 10-11 for the longest time but since a couple of weeks it has suddenly fallen to 7 and recieving 3-4 in shorter runs.
Open to any suggestion; I am using normal BP petrol; could that be a factor ; have they increased ethanol blend?
Hey everyone,
Had a bit of a mishap today and scraped the lower driver-side door against a pillar/high curb. It’s a black car, and the damage runs right along the lower section.
Here is what it looks like (attached image):
• The textured plastic cladding: There's a long, prominent white scrape running right across the top edge of the plastic.
• The door paint: There are some light scratches further up, and a bit of scraping right at the very bottom edge of the metal door panel where it meets the cladding.
I’m trying to figure out my options before heading to a service center or a detailer.
Can the white marks on the textured plastic cladding be cleaned off (is it likely paint transfer), or does the whole plastic panel need to be replaced?
For the black paint right above it, should I try DIY buffing it out with something like 3M, or does it look deep enough to require a professional repaint? (Fingernail doesn't deeply catch on the higher faint scratches, but the bottom edge feels a bit rough).
Would appreciate any advice, rough cost estimates if you've dealt with similar damage, or product recommendations. Thanks in
Hi everyone,
I accidentally got this scratch on my car while parking (photo attached). It looks like a long scrape near the wheel arch/fender area. I’m not sure if it’s just paint transfer/surface-level damage or if the paint itself is scratched off.
Can anyone help me understand:
Does this look like something that can be fixed with rubbing/polishing?
Would touch-up paint work?
Does this need repainting of the panel?
Rough idea of repair cost?
Would appreciate any advice from people who’ve dealt with similar scratches.
Thanks!
Virtus 1.0 Topline 2023.
Need some guidance regarding increasing the fuel economy.
I use regular fuel because whenever i travel out of Mumbai it’s difficult to find 95 Octane.
is it good ? Dealership quoting around 10k for it.
Hello all,
Recently our 2024 Skoda Kodiaq started showing Error Airbag in the console out of nowhere. The car barely has 20k kms done. We thought it was just a random glitch so took it to the service center to clear it . But to our surprise it wasn’t going away. The service center told they had to do further checks so we left it at the service center. But even after running several checks and scans they couldn’t diagnose what’s causing that error. After 2 weeks of getting nowhere they handed the case to the Europe technical team. They connected remotely and diagnosed the issue to be this airbag harness which sends signals from the seat belt to airbag to actually it. There’s no rat bite, water damage, no physical damage whatsoever. How can such critical wire stop working without any intervention? Does anyone face any similar issues?
Thankfully the car is still under warranty and the skoda team is responding very quickly to all of this. But this questions the car’s reliability. Please tell me your thoughts.
This is a 2023 second hand Slavia 1.0 TSI Style Top Variant with 41k on the odo. Got all the checks and service history verified before finalising it. The deal was closed at ₹10 lakh, all ownership paperwork has been transferred, and now this Czech machine is officially part of our family 🥰🥰🥰
We’re absolutely loving it, especially my mom in the back seat it’s super comfortable for her. The car drives beautifully and honestly, I can’t explain the feeling. It puts a smile on my face every single time I sit behind the wheel. Dad is happy too and that makes it even more special.
A little backstory we had planned to buy a car within a ₹13 lakh budget and had shortlisted the Kylaq, Elevate, and Venue. We were already leaning towards Skoda because of the safety, look, and overall feel. Then out of nowhere, one of our relatives contacted my dad saying he wanted to sell his Slavia because he was being urgently transferred to another border city. We took a test ride checked the car thoroughly and instantly finalised it. Everything just fell perfectly into place sometimes life really surprises you in the best way. The best part was getting it without any EMI hassle and the transfer process was smooth as well. Feeling genuinely very happy and grateful.
Fellow Slavia owners, do share any advice or suggestions about the car. I’ve already shortlisted getting a good dashcam, probably a 70mai, and I’m planning to change the tyres around the 50k mark. For now, everything looks and feels great.
