Finally managed to fix my fault driver side window at EVM Trivandrum. The BLR service centre (Apple Auto Whitefield) was not able to fix it and had attributed it to some software update. EVM folks said it is a motor complaint and replaced it under warranty. Had overall a much better experience at EVM compared to the sh*t show at BLR centre. You really have to visit that service centre during a weekend to really understand the chaos they manage to have in that place.

I have written about this squeaking noise while braking before, and while it is true that the service centre has gone out of its way to look into the problem and make time for me, the problem is now a year old and they are still unable to solve it permanently.

A few days back, I told them to replace the brake pads but they showed me my pads and said there was 75% life still left in it (manual TSI purchased in 2021). Everytime I show it to them, they probably lubricate the calipers and the noise goes away for only a day or two before it reappears.

Anyone whose service centre has found a solution please let me know. I am going to get to the bottom of this any which way now.

Just a change, purchased in 2022.

Learn to live with it, I have been complaining for the last 2 years, only solution with VW tech team provided is lithium grease which works for a month. I even changed my brake pads and disc and problem did not go away.

It seems like we will have to live with it, but what is the mechanical cause? Could it be that the brakes are staying applied after release? Or is it a manufacturing / plant fault and they are loath to recall? Is it friction and heat, which should be addressed immediately? Either way, a reason is needed for the noise. Should be simple enough, but apparently it isn’t.

So mine was changed when i encountered the EPC issue in August, according to the service center VW isn't making a recall instead they are quietly replacing it for anyone encountering the EPC issue.

Guys, need your suggestions on dampening for my Taigun. I’m planning to do dampening to stop cabin rattles and door/window squeaks. The accessory shop says dampening 5 doors (with Dr Artex gold HD sheet) will help reduce the rattles and road noise. Anyone here tried dampening? Does it really help reduce the cabin rattle noise? Any input on this is much appreciated.

I have got my door damped for better sound output. It does make door heavy and occasional rattles might disappear.

What my SC said is that they have received n number of complaints and company might issue some remedy or replacement in future. Nothing concrete available at the moment to resolve this issue.

Cheers.

I booked it again and going through it. Making this big financial and life decision alone made all my fears crop up.

Using the company’s lease program to finance.

Anyways, need some help now with what VW official accessories make sense to get through showroom?

Also, any immediate must buys after market accessories?

Got the car back after about ten days. They replaced a sensor associated with exhaust system. Couldn't get the exact part no/name.
ODO stands at 2000 km now. Till date everything is smooth and running well. Did the first free check up as well. There were no errors or glitches. Though it took time, the support offered by EVM VW was appreciable. As per them, they are facing this issue in 1.5 for the first time. They claim that majority of the time spent at workshop was for diagnosis by VW. They had to keep the car connected to the VW server for them to run tests. In the end VW decided to replace the sensor which had to arrive from Pune.

Hello Taigun owners/enthusiasts. What is the latest version of the software in VW Taigun. I too have the driver side window issue. They said the software is updated, however I cant figure out what the latest version of the software is, online.

Thanks in advance.

Finally, was able to find a worthy successor to our "Beast" aka Safari Storme in form of VW Taigun GT PLUS. Brought her home and feeling excited as this is a start of a new association and hopefully a wonderful one!

Thanks everyone for sharing so much information on this thread which immensely helped me choose Taigun.

Cheers!

Got my Taigun GT plus delivered yesterday. Found a strange noise during acceleration and noticed the Cerence dongle to be oscillating and making a strange noise. (Pic attached).

Anyone else had the issue? I found it to have a double side glue stuck to it (which was dried up). Is there any other slot for the dongle that I am missing?

No you aren’t - the dongle is in fact just stuck on using double sided tape. Came off after a few weeks in my Virtus, and I just disconnected the dongle. Didn’t find it particularly useful, my vehicle was of the initial batch and had the Jio one.
