Can anyone who's done the first service tell how much time it takes? Mine is due in a week and the service center is 20km away. Skoda offers a pickup and drop option but don't trust someone else with the car. If it's barely a matter of 2-3 hours, I can just stay at the service center.

On a different note, suffered this last week, had to replace the tyre. However while I was at the tyre shop, the worker there told me the wheel had no tyre pressure sensor inside. I am aware sensors are installed inside the rim and if Skoda doesn't have a sensor inside, how the hell is it measuring the pressure? Not like the system is any useful, the TPMS is purely a paper feature, it's practically useless but still wondering how's Skoda?VAG doing it.

Well you book an appointment and you reach the service center as soon as it opens, make sure your car is the 1st one which is picked up for service. That's how you get your car serviced on time. Routine service is nothing but changing oil, filters, routine inspection and wash. But if there's some problem which you're facing, then it could take some time.

Well the the tyre pressure monitoring on VAG cars work on speed sensors, they detect the change in speed of the tyre due to deflation and alert us. So even though it's not monitoring the exact tyre pressure but it knows that the tyre is deflating.

They did not have any units with it installed so I am not sure how good they are; has anyone here got it installed/have any feedback on this accessory?

100% worth it. I got it fixed, along with sporty pedals. Changes the perception of pedestrians coming in the way for sure.

Which is why it's pointless. I don't know which tyre is low and by how much. It also needs to be recalibrated everytime the pressure goes down. I have stopped doing it and the now the indicator stays ON all the time even though I refilled air

They have introduced the actual tyre pressure monitor as accessories similar to third party devices. It will be connected to mobile Bluetooth and app notification. I asked whether it can be connected to infotainment system and use the MySkoda connect app for remote notifications but it seems not possible as per SA

Visited Jai auto Gurgaon today and got a quote of 20.3L OTR Gurgaon for Oct manufactured 1.5 Style DSG 6AB - includes SMP (25k), 46.5k cash discount, 15k loyalty and 15k exchange if trading in the Polo. 1.5 style MT was quoted at 19L including above discounts. I feel there's room for another 30-50k discount, other than the insurance savings of course.

Would be really helpful if other bhpians can shed some light on deals being offered on Kushaq Style 1.5 DSG / 1.5 MT?

I recently picked up a Kushaq, the same variant which are looking at. The total discounts inclusive of the SMP et al was about 1.2 lakhs. This is before the 20 k price hike on the 1st of November. PM me if you need a break up of the discounts.

How is now the AC effectiveness of Skoda and VW 1.0 cars now?

I think you are getting a good deal. I'm getting Kushaq Style 1.5 DSG 6AB at Bhopal for 21.08 lakh OTR. This includes insurance, SMP (Rs 24999) and accessories (Rs 16319).

Facing issue of vibration noise in windows while playing songs with high bass at volumes higher than 6-7/10 volume (Ambition 1.0 AT).

Anybody else facing the same issue? Any solution for the same?

A general enquiry from the experts as well as the Kushaq 1.0 automatic owners, regarding the issue of ac in bumper to bumper traffic, whether the tripping of the ac compressor has been solved or not. Planning to change wife’s 2017 Ignis Zeta AMT, which has covered around 55000km, and running fine except for a lot of rattles, and the interior has started to appear worn out. And she daily covers around 25km on a 2 lane highway, with fast moving traffic, so need a safe car, and only Taigun and Kushaq come to my mind. Hope the ac issue in the 1 litre engine has been solved, via software updates.

It definitely doesn't cool the cabin like the Asian Manufacturers. Compared to the Baleno, I found it less powerful.
