Really not worth it in my opinion as except ADAS, cluster and wheels won't cost more than a lakh! Also it comes with a 1.4 TSI, not 1.5 TSI.

Will admit the cabin of the Brazilian spec looks better though.

I think these clusters support navigation in them like Audi.

Only with a different head unit which has inbuilt maps. Otherwise the map display would not work full screen but only support driving directions. This can be achieved even with the current Skoda virtual cockpit on the MQB IN models but I am figuring out the exact coding changes.

Virtual cockpit - can it be retrofitted in the older variants? I have a 1.5TSi Style, with the subwoofer and larger HU. Unfortunately, this means I have the 2 dial cockpit also.. any way of changing this around?
Thanks.

Yes of course, shouldnt be a big deal except that I am not sure how much this virtual cockpit might cost out of the ASC parts counter. I am curious to know as well. The ASC will not be willing to swap this for you but it can be easily done outside.

I had emailed Zac regarding this. He said it was not possible. Attaching the email as well! Probably can be retrofitted outside the ASS though.

I took the delivery of my brand new 1.5 Tsi monte carlo with DSG two weeks ago from Tafe Access HSR layout. I've been trying to get my Skoda Connect app working but for some weird reason, the Skoda Connect app shows data and Driving stats from my other car which is a VW Polo GT 1.0 tsi. Seems like the VW app and Skoda app are the same in the backend but present different web interfaces on the front end. Did anyone face a similar issue? Neither the SA nor anyone at the dealership has a clue about what can be done.

Naturally. Why would anyone officially confirm such things. Its still a non standard fitment so they would never admit its doable. The best you can do is to order this part in the spares department and then somehow convince one of the SA or mechanic to swap it for you, with the promise of a nice monetary benefit. If not carry it outside, DIY bit coding will be needed for initial setup.

Can anyone please confirm the same?
Thanks

I purchased SMP today for the same variant. I paid 24,999 INR. I guess it depends on the dealers.

Also I have a doubt that the free services can be availed only in the service stations of the same dealership?

Thanks for your response.
When did you buy your car? What is the manufacturing month and year of your car?

And you can get your car serviced under the SMP at any Skoda workshop through India

Thanks. Mine is BS6.2 version. Took delivery on 8th April. March 2023 manufactured.

Update: 14500 KM

The car has been running smoothly and the mileage per litre has been very good given that last 5000 odd kms have been all city drive only. Office - Home - Office.

The average has been hovering around 13+ KMPL. It is only recently that 43* C outside temperature has increased the AC's appetite and the mileage has dipped to around 11.8 KMPL.

Stats graph as under:



Also, I found a hidden feature. I can switch on only one side of the parking light which I found only after 1 year and 4 months of ownership.

All I had done was switched off ignition. Pulled the indicator stalk to right turn position and closed the car.

Wallah! Only Right Side LED DRL and Tail Light LED are on.

Made in India 5 star safety net from Skoda:

My Kushaq has completed 15000 Kilometers yesterday and has gone for the first service today. I have taken the SMP package under which the service cost is covered.

I have asked the service center to do wheel rotation and alignment, and they are charging Rs 1800+GST for this. It seems a bit higher but I am going to be on road for 1 whole month starting this Thursday and will not have time to get it done from outside before that.

The service center is also recommending Throttle Body Cleaning for which they are asking for Rs 2600+GST, which seems excessive. Can you guys help me understand:

1. What should be the frequency of throttle body clean up and if I get it done from outside, what should be the cost for a Kushaq? Is it safe to get it done outside? I am worried if it may void any warranty or cause some throttle calibration issues. Surprisingly, I have not seen this service included in the service updates of Kushaq owners on Team BHP.

2. If you have got throttle body cleaned on your Kushaq from outside, did you have to get any software calibration done? I had got my celerio's throttle body cleaned up from a local mechanic and it became a rocket after that. It kept increasing its speed on its own without pressing accelerator. I had to take it to Maruti ASS and they had to reset some throttle body calibration related settings to fix it.

3. What should be the cost of wheel rotation+alignment from outside and does it cause any suspension warranty related issues?

1. I think on 50k, not sure though, but not at all recommended on first service.
3. I checked last week only on a good outside shop, they quoted 800-850 for Kushaq.

I went to the service centre today and learned about some ongoing campaigns, and please see If you have not done it already, you can get it in service centre.
