The silk blue was from the 80's and the sunset red from the facelift was a complete let down. My only option was white.Sadly was turned away from the car due to the dealer indifference and the possibility of high maintenance cost(coupled with my lack of confidence on the tech). Had to shop in a different segment.

Awesome choice nevertheless, Enjoy!

Cheers

Hi VWAllstar, I will be taking the delivery of a VW Ameo DSG Highline Plus in a couple of days. It's actually a steal deal at 9.93 on road Delhi. If you could explain more about the underbody protection you've added on your car, it will be helpful for all the Ameo owners. BTW, I'm picking up white, was very keen on a Lapiz Blue, however I don't have a covered parking and you can't keep a check on the dogs and miscreants to harm your car in an open space, hence went ahead with White.

Thanks in advance.

An Ameo DSG Highline Plus at a price lesser than the Ameo Diesel Highline Plus MT is better than a steal mate. Wonder what made me pay more than 11 Lakhs just 6 months ago?

The underbody protector is an official accessory which costed me Rs. 18000/- I went ahead with the purchase after reading an event with another Ameo DSG owner of a stone hitting the underbody and he been charged 1.2 Lakhs for repairs.

In a recent drive to Karnataka, I drove over really bad and a lot non existent roads. The underbody took a lot of beating. The maximum damage was scratches on the underbody protection. Wish I could share the pic I had taken (deleted now) The material is hard fiber and is very reliable to hold itself for long.

White colour is good. It has a lot of modification options like blacked out roof, side decals, blacked out alloys and so forth. Easier to maintain than the Lapiz Blue colour.

Congratulations and do share pics of your new purchase.

Thanks for the revert. I would definitely upload some pics once I take the delivery. Does the underbody protector saves the mechatronics unit as well?

Yes. It covers the entire engine bay as well. The dealer was reluctant to give me the under body shield stating it is available for Polo / Vento but not for Ameo. Keep pestering then and they shall break.

Thanks. The cost is a little steep. Will think about it.

Hello Arjun,

Have you done any mods or VCDS updates on Lucifer?

[Arjun Tyagi]

Not yet. I’m planning to get Dieseltronic though.

Please avoid. Better than that go for a good remap. If you are going for a remap/DT then also make sure to change brakes to a better one. The stock brakes are not so good and with added power you would need better braking.

Yours is relatively a new car so I would suggest keep stock till 30k kms.

Advice taken, it's already done 20K Kms. I'm still confused between Dieseltronic and getting a remap though. And yes the brakes would definitely need more bite.

I don't have the part number. I got it fitted before delivery. You can check with the official service center for details. I paid an additional 18k but as a standalone it may cost more.

Welcome to the ameo family brother!

Even I felt that the tdi feels tractor esque. I switched to using shell( regular diesel) that smoothened the firing and the engine clatter is also noticeably less.

Suggest you Stick to coco outlet if no shell outlets are nearby.

VW ASS denying giving reason warranty is only for parts gone bad and not for parts which brakes. Is this true?

i doubt if this can be claimed under warranty. Further, it might be difficult to get this knob only from any volkswagen service center. they will probably have to get the whole button assembly on the door changed as the full button console might only be coming as one spare. Depending on your location, you can try looking for local mechanics and garages, in case they have some old car somewhere and the knob can be taken from it.

While travelling on the highway in our Hyundai Verna 1.6D, a VW Ameo TDi was coming along for about 25Kms.

We eventually encountered a speed breaker and we started side by side and both floored peddle to the metal. It was at this moment that i came to know that VW Ameo is so fast that it almost kept up with the fastest diesel of C segment (since this is out right acceleration) with only a 10 meters of difference upto the 100 Km/h.

We have stopped later at a same place and greeted each other and praised about the pull of both the cars.
