Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 TSI MT at 7200 kms: 1st service & other updates

The mileage figures have been decent ranging from 11kmpl to 18kmpl on just regular fuel (haven't tried 95/97 Octane even once).

BHPian adigup recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

7200kms, 4 months update:

We managed to complete 7200kms on our Taigun 1.0 MT in 4 months, the experience has been decent but only if we keep aside the AC issue and the brake noise issue at crawling speeds. The AC issue is quite evident, but I haven't experienced the brake noise a lot (probably once every 100 kms). The mileage figures have been decent ranging from 11kmpl to 18kmpl on just regular fuel (haven't tried 95/97 Octane even once).

As the car was near 7500kms and the next few weeks the car would've been busy, we sent it at 7250kms. As it was a pick-and-drop service, the following points were told to the service advisor:

• Front doors rattle.
• Brake noise (will probably know in a few 100kms if this has been rectified).
• AC issue (asked if there was any update, but the advisor was clueless that this is an actual issue and so this was probably ignored).
• Fix rain/sun/wind deflectors for the side windows.

The doors and rubbers were lubricated, and the deflectors were fixed for Rs. 2249 (which was also the overall bill). The car was dropped back after about 6 hours.

To my surprise, the wind noise / cabin noise has increased after fixing the deflectors, we have it on our other cars as well but never noticed anything like that. The noise is close to something that comes when the windows aren't fully rolled up.

This is how it looks:

Also, one more interesting find:

The VW guys really reset the whole service interval and now according to my Taigun, an oil change or a service is due in another 15,000 kms or 365 days. I thought it was gonna be 7,500 kms or 2xx days (I am sure, that's how it should be).
