Nice explanations (especially on the coding and upgrade things). Thanks for your time and efforts. Just to add, I think / feel, have done more tougher roads in the Taigun 1.0 AT Topline and to be very frank I was scared to the core, but the car did not struggle much, it slipped slightly but not to worrying levels. Unfortunately my DashCam memory card got corrupt so I couldn't record the whole drive.
@@ayush885 No such issues reported by anyone in VW Skoda 2.0 cars, although it was happening too frequently in the past. Still an extended warrany with maximum period should be considered in case purchase a DSG transmission car to avoid any extra repair cost in future, if any
It really depends upon what warranty you are claiming and if the coding has affect on that factor. Many people claim that it’s a value change thing and can’t be caught while Service Center scanning. Still some other people stay away from it to avoid any hassle in future. So, still it doesn’t have a solid answer
How will you compare the performance of Taigun GT DSG with that of Seltos 1.4turbo DCT ? I personally fell that Seltos have better initial acceleration as compared to Taigun, but their DCT isn't as quick as VW group's DSG.
My personal opinion, driving dynamics-wise, Taigun is significantly ahead of Seltos, hence a chief reason for me to go for Taigun over Seltos. Although Seltos provides amazing tech.
I have driven both and didn't feel the initial acceleration part better in Seltos, don't know if I couldn't notice it, but Seltos is bigger with more weight and less displacement. And these days DSG is more reliable and faster than DCT offered by koreans. And there is no comparision of drivability between those two. For features you may consider Seltos, for driving dynamics, engineering and above all safety, Taigun is far ahead
Hi Pramod ji, Thank you for helping us with such a really good insights on vw taigun. I have one question and also the fear regarding dsg gearbox. I am looking for to buy Taigun or Kushaq 1.5 automatic but worried about the reliability of DSG. Since I am looking to keep car for 10-15 years, how would dsg hold for that much time? In case if anything goes wrong with the gearbox then what would be repair cost ? What is the cost of replacement of gearbox? It would be great help if you could help me with this confusion.
Hello Brother ! Thanks a lot for your appreciation and support. The issues in DSG is like a history now a days. people are more complaining about minor niggles and no one have faced in DSG although these issues generally come after lacs of kms. Still you can see 1.5 DSG variants are sold a lot in Virtus, Taigun, Kushaq, even Virtus doesn't have a 1.5 MT variant. Many people have bought 1.5 DSG as their first car. Even if issue come in future, I strongly recommend you to take maximum extended warranty for this and after warranty some service center gives discounts in repair cost as a goodwill gesture, if you maintain the srevice record of the car. I will suggest don't stop your heart to go for it just for a single reason :)
@@DirectShift Thanks brother for bringing me a step closure in buying this beautiful machine. Still if you could help me with the replacement cost for dsg in Taigun or Virtus? I just want to take informed decision.
The whole gearbox won't be faulty at a time, in most cases the mechatronics is the root cause of gearbox and drive issues, Will check and let you know an approx cost, which may be 80k-150k, again it's just a guess. You can go through various forums. Sharing one link below. www.team-bhp.com/forum/technical-stuff/181647-vw-polo-gt-tsi-dsg-failure-quoted-rs-1-17-lakhs-repair.html
Which SVP is value for money - 4yr for 30k or 5yr for 46k. In the 5yr pack they give coupons for battery, wiper, break pad replacement etc. Is it worth the 16k extra cost for a year? Thank you in advance
Although calculation wise, it doesn't look economical, but it's recommended to replace the battery from authorised SC and keeping eyes on inflation, should go for it. I have taken for my GT Plus and as it's an one time purchase I made while purchasing the car, in future no need of worrying to pay uncertain amount while servicing. Again if your running is too much, you must opt for it.

No one said 800 cant. I'm saying it was my first time doing those roads in an automatic which i wasn't sure of. The discussion is about the transmission & suspension not about taigun vs 800
Very good point on Insurance rejection after coding!
Sir apki videos me kafi kuch jankari mili.
Or wo bhi sachi jankari
Thank you 😊
Hi Pramod, love your videos and really well explained. Can you make a video of how you drive your gt+ car in b2b traffic and hills. Thanks
Thank you so much 😊 Okay I will do that 🙏

When is the facelift version coming? I am hoping they will resolve the minor concerns
There’s no such news of facelift. But they have been improving day by day with better roof-liner, ventilated seats in GT+ etc.
Sir what about decoding the car for hidden features? If service center caught it ,Will warranty will affect? What’s your view on this?

Have driven 1L AT on really bad hilly roads, handled moderate off road and uphills like a chap.
Yes. The 1.0 TSI isn’t a less capable one.
Does coding affects warranty?
No. It doesn’t affect warranty
