Dear members, i own a 2016 rapid dsg. It had undergone its 3rd service just a month back at 30,800 kms. After having covered about 1000 kms in a span of a month I casually checked the oil level and found that the oil was at the exact half mark on the dipstick. This was checked on a proper flat surface and double checked with a cold engine as well. (P.s:- for warm engine, the oil was checked after 10 mins after switching off the engine ). I visited the jmd bhandup worshop yesterday to make sure all is fine and the technician said that the half mark is fine as long as it doesn't touch the low mark where u need to fill in about 0.5 litre of oil (castrol edge professional 5w40 505.01 complaint). Can anyone please confirm their oil levels just to make sure that half mark is fine or should I just top up to the full mark if everyone else's show the full mark. Idk if I am being paranoid but better to be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance. :) |

Yes its a 1.5 tdi diesel. I made the mistake of not checking the oil right after the oil change.The car feels smooth, no issues infact returns 20 plus kmpl on highway. Majority the car is driven on highway and in sparse traffic conditions.I wonder why there should be any oil consumption in such situations. |

I figured as much. I'm planning to change the battery as I'm not sure if the 2016 replacement date is accurate as I was going by what the previous owner said. I thought I'll check with the experts here. Additionally, is it fine to go for a 60 AH battery instead of the 45 AH one? Do I need to make any changes to the electricals? |

Yesterday I had gone to replace my car's armrest cover (which Vinayak Skoda, Bangalore, took almost 2 months to get the part). To my surprise, found out that there is a design change in armrest console itself (in latest models), hence the new armrest cover was not fitting Difference in armrest covers: In old armrest setup, there is grove kind of thing which holds the cover. And it has extra leaf in the cover (you can notice in the image below) to mask the gap. |

Hello sir, same thing happened with me as well on my 2016 rapid style plus automatic. It was replaced at authorized workshop in Mumbai, paid by me as it wasn't covered under warranty. |
