| ![]() I got the car towed to the service center two days back. They found that problem was with the pickup ignition starter switch (Part# VW AG 6R0 905 865). Got it changed at Rs.4700. Everything good now. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Did any one come across special pricing of Vento CL+ trim, It says Ex.showroom Rs 8,39,000/-. At this price it offers Cruise Control, R15 Alloy wheels, electrical adjusted ORVM, Auto-AC, Fog lamp with cornering function, leather wrapped steering wheel, etc. This makes even more sense than Rapid Rider Plus. |

I have seen a lot of service centres do not want to get into hassle of procuring and fixing it and come with petty excuses that they might have to drill holes in the chassis and what not - I can confirm now that fixing this does not require any drilling and it takes about 10mins to fix it. In other news, this monsoon I am seeing fogging happening inside the headlamps unit post rainy drives. I read (on Passat Team-BHP thread) about similar fogging in Passat LED headlamps so I am assuming Vento LED headlamps unit fogging up is also normal and expected. Does it happen in the halogen lamps unit as well ? It was pretty strange, never saw it on my i20. Picture below. ![]() | |

| ![]() Has anyone noticed? the new Rapid comes with Auto headlight switch and a better (old Vento) interior roof light? Looks like Rapid is having access to all good things in India from VW and VW left behind. |

| ![]() Rapid came with auto headlamps earlier as well, prior to the engine upgrade. Both cars come with subtle feature differences - Similar to LED headlamps are restricted only Vento. Earlier TSI+DSG was a big puller for Vento including myself who would have otherwise would have inclined to Rapid. |

| ![]() I recently got both of the front struts of my Vento TDI 2013 replaced in the service center. Since I know the senior technician personally, he suggested just to go for the struts replacement for now as they were leaking oil and to get the lower arm replaced later when I give the car for servicing as it was in a good shape. Due to the lockdown & WFH the car hasn't run much after that (may be around 1.5k-2k kms in the last 4 months after the struts replacement) and apart from one long drive, I just take the car for small drives these days just to keep it running. Today while taking it out for a spin, I noticed that there is a squeaking noise coming from the right front suspension, when I go over speed breakers at a slightly higher speed. There is no noise on potholes, uneven roads etc and this noise comes only when there is a vertical movement on the speed breakers at certain speed. I can hear (and feel) it very clearly. Since the struts are new, I am not sure what could be issue. Is there a possibility that there would be some noise until the struts run in for sometime? Need some guidance. Thanks. |

| ![]() Hi Dheeraj - Creaking sound over speed breakers and bumps is classic sign of lower arm bush damage. As you mentioned the technician has also told about lower arms needing replacement so I guess its time to get those replaced. |

| ![]() I second Rahul! Struts usually need replacement when the car doesn't settle down after going through a bump. The squeaks and rattles are usually caused by worn out bushes, tie rods etc. Last edited by Turbohead : 10th September 2020 at 08:53. |

| ![]() There is a slight (yet noticeable) creaking sound from the suspension when I turn the steering all the way on one side. I haven't noticed it ever while driving - but can hear it while the car is stationary and steering is turned. The car is about a year old so I am guessing it should not be worn out parts and should ideally be something that can be treated with a little lubrication. One of the SAs had also pointed it out on the annual service and rectified it on one of the sides - but the sound on the other side has resurfaced, also he left job at the service center so his phone isnt reachable. The authorized service center is a little far away from my new residence so any suggestions on whether it should be taken to VW service center or some kind of lubrication should do at a nearby FNG ? Also, East Bengaluru folks - any good VW FNG recommendations in Sarjapur/Varthur/Whitefield area? Thanks in advance. ![]() |
