I have watched this video atleast 4-5 times. I can't get over the extensive knowledge and the style of explanation by Manish Ji. Really, we need much more videos like this.
Before buying 1.0 AT Slavia, I drove back to back 1.5 and 1.0, 1.5 is just a charm. I drove Rapid for 10 years, 1.5 kms, it was a beast, so my inclination was towards 1.5 only however it is pricer one + engine is imported and in India it's assembled, however 1.0 is almost 90% localised. DQ200 is an amazing gearbox with lower torque(~200nm) and I think VW did best this time
Both of you are doing a great work. 👌 I have been binge watching your videos, since morning itself. Great info. I remember i used to watch your videos when you had bought T-roc & now i came across these videos of 3.5L km & this discussion series. Its just amazing. Its good for people like us who are still skeptical about trying any VAG group cars for the first time. Considering its past. This will good confidence to atleast consider VAG. just only concern is, wont be able to experience the true VAG experience as they have done some cost cutting in quality & performance. Like they used to give in Polo or vento.
Hello, Sunderdeep ji, Just like you I have been a VAG fan from a long time because of the fantastic tech, quality, innovation, luxury etc but more importantly with personal experience (octavia 2.0 TDI DSG with DQ250). Seeing your content really makes me happy that someone has taken initiative to talk on all this. Since in recent times Indian automotive market has been shocking as good companies like ford are leaving. But thankfully, with all the detailed knowledge provided by you and G.O.A.T Manish ji 🙏It will really help Indian buyers make a good decision in next purchase. This series has been really really amazing!! Hope you bring more such content. Ek important Question tha sir, it would be really helpful if you answer this. Sir, New 1.5 tsi engines are brilliant, and come with “CYLINDER DEACTIVATION TECHNOLOGY” which is good for mileage highway runs but I have heard that with time these have a problem of “OIL CLOGGING.” Is topic pe please ek baar charcha kare🙏. Ki kaise in engines ki reliability ko improve kiya jaye…etc. Abhi tak kuch khaas issue nahi aaye hai is cheez se related since the cars are new. But still Agar kuch precautions hoge to New buyers like me (looking for 1.5 tsi but sceptical about long term reliability) ke liye kaafi helpful hoga!! Once again, big fan sir plz continue this knowledgable series.
Oil clogging is because of the oil changed at long intervals....its an issue related to all tsi....I change my oil at 8000kms with my 1.8tsi....I have faced no issues
@@vader_117 Okay, but with VAG engines having cylinder deactivation, I have heard that when cars run in 2 cylinder mode, overtime due to free movement of pistons which are deactivated, it is results in oil clogging. I’m concerned about this because I’ve been looking forward to buy a 1.5 tsi. Thats why need some clarity…
@@baburaodhinchak you won't have oil clogging issue with cylinder deactivation but oil consumption issue can arise if they have not engineered the oil scrapper rings properly.....AUDI vw messed up the oil scrapper rings on ea888 gen1 n gen2 both 1.8 and 2.0tsi as they made the passage in the oil control ring small.....gen3 tsi are perfect.......if the 1.5tsi is a ea211 then its better to wait for reviews as the 1.5tsi had some common issues hope they solved it.....plus pre-emptive care and early oil changes will make these tsi engines last....if I had to buy a sedan I would blindly go for slavia 1.5 tsi manual
Jo Munish Sir knowledge share kr rhe hai ye koi bhi nahi krega. Aapko salute hai sir. Bade bade engineers is baat ko smjha nahi paaye. Thank you so much sir. Big credits to you too Sunder Sir. 🙏🏻😇❤️
I have 1.2 GT TSI DSG and believe me I have achieved 18.8 mixed highway coasting around 100 plus Delhi traffic, in nutshell I m in love with VW cars and you guys talks to the point and absolutely relevant to share the great knowledge about cars
Paaji what a great series this has been. Easy to understand and such deep knowledge that many big channels on TH-cam fails to deliver. Keep up the good work
The series aptly matches my beliefs when i finally bought 1.0 MT Taigun before watching these videos. Super knowledge and looking forward for more such info.
One of the best informative video on youtube. I love to listen you both having such conversations. I truly believe that he is on of the most informative automotive consumer.
1l Manual with extended warranty is a safe bet. I read a lot about VW reliability issues today and it turns out not only in India but in US market also they are suffering with reliability issues because these cars were engineered for their domestic market i.e. Europe. I am very optimistic about 2.0 though because of heavy localisation along with their proactively fixing of issues with their new cars
If you buy a vag car with dry DSG, have always around money coz they break. If you get one with wet DSG (usally cars with over 2 liters engine), then it is fine.
Manish ji I haven driven my vento TDI DSG 60,000 + 2017 model , without any problem still doing well .. only with few precaution pls share those precautions also that will be helpful for our viewer's
This is such an indepth conversation, and can be turned into a series by its own: would love to see more of your content with the both of you, please make it interesting by focussing on one speaker st a time within the frame 😊
Sir you both are gifts for automobile fans like us for giving us so much technical data. It’s so interesting that you go deeper and deeper. Another great highlight is your long videos. Pls keep posting long videos 👍🤝🫶
Really nice explanation, when it comes to the DSG, DMF - to absorb the torsional fluctuations / vibrations from the engine due to the engine firing and good you are talking about resonance as well. I would really appreciate both of you being a powertrain development engineer for deep diving in technicalities and providing such good information.
I read somewhere that the main issue with the DQ200 was related to the mechatronics of the DSG gearbox was that they initially used synthetic oil. After changing to mineral oil all these issues have been sorted out.
No there is inherent problem with the design of dsq200 gearboxes which is realted to heating which is more prominent in India .if you are going to buy dsg then go for extended warranty
Amazing video as always, I wish it would have been a 3 hours movie rather than a 48 mins SHORT video. Impeccable level of knowledge @Munish Ji Thanks @Sunderdeep Ji for sharing such a masterpiece content with us. Much Respect and Appreciation to both of you, keep going..!!
Absolutely agree with Munish Ji that it was very stupid of VW to not cap the torque at 250nm for DSG with TDI engines. Also, why didn't VAG provide the DQ 250 instead of DQ 200 for their cars with bigger engines like the 1.8 TSI Octavia??? Their customers could have afforded paying some premium over instead of compromising the torque.
Sir you mentioned in the video that you talked to technicians of both volkswagen and skoda regarding reliability of DQ200 gearbox with 1.8 TSI engine, I can tell you that my DQ200 with 1.8 TSI engine has been opened to change mechatronic within first 15000 kilometers of purchasing my Skoda Superb, but as you said this issue is less prominent in octavia which is why my octavia’s DSG has been functioning absolutely normally with same 1.8 TSI engine
How or where is the difference because apart from weight and maybe some level of tuning, how does it work well in Octavia and not in superb?? Or was yours a corner case with some manufacturing issue?
Primary forces are not balanced in three cylinder engine at low rev like near 900 RPM but as you rev high it's all right even if you modify the muffler car will have unique exhaust note
Good evening Sunderdeep ji and Munish ji. Your discussions and explanations are simply top notch and this has resulted in me booking a Virtus GT which I would be getting in the 1st week of Jan ( I was looking for Jan since there are very few days left this year and no issues waiting for a 2023 registration vehicle). Earlier I was looking at Seltos, Carens, even saw Harrier and Safari. When I first saw Virtus when it was launched ( even before prices were released) and saw numerous complaints of the DSG (I was very clear that I want an automatic and not a manual and was scared of the issues in 1.0 in Slavia, Kushaq etc), I literally stopped even thinking of VW. My interest in VW was rekindled after seeing your videos. I hope DSG doesn't give me problems and the ASS is fine. The very first time iam moving away from Maruti where ASS has never been a problem. I keep my cars for long. My current SX4 is now 13+ yrs and less than 65k on the Odometer. Hoping that with the limited running wont run into issues with DSG and issues with DSG reliability are permanently resolved by VW. Now it's time for me to think of whether VW insurance which iam getting for 40k is better or Acko for less than 30K and what accessories to buy. Would like to thank you for all your videos and looking forward to more. Any suggestions on how to care for DSG would be very helpful.
@@SunderdeepSingh Thanks sir. I did enquire about the 4+3 but the sales rep was indicating that only 4+2 is available and didnt know of the 7th year extended warranty. Could you please guide on how I can get the 7th year warranty? Iam definitely keen on taking the max warranty VW gives.
@@SunderdeepSingh and when I went to make the payment today they indicated that the 7th year warranty can be purchased when the 6th year warranty is about to end. Not now.
We had a q3 1.4 tfsi until november 2021 unfortunately it got into an accident It had 148 bhp and 250nm torque When i drove virtus gt or taigun gt i felt the same sensation after 30km/hr as i am driving the same car even more punchy Maybe because of less weight of cars That brings us to the point how can someone compare 1.5 dsg with creta seltos and honda city Its way above those cars , only those will understand my point who have driven the tfsi q3 or A4
I did a road trip from Kolkata to Madhya Pradesh (total 3,000 kms) in my Taigun 1.0 TSI MT recently. The car performed well on Highways at speed of 80-100 kmph. We had 4 occupants and luggage. No issue of under powered
Great discussion but I had challenging issues with DSG as twice the Mechatronics got replaced. Once under warranty and second time recently I paid thru nose. Clutch and flywheel plus fuel pump too got replaced at 1.48 L kms. Bill was of ₹2.4 L. DSG is a treat but costly if anything happens
Thanks for this great content. This is helpful beyond words for potential buyers. Does DSG box also face heating issues in bumper to bumper traffic? Can this be discussed too briefly?
Also one thing about the manual transmission with Slavia in 1.5. It’s the MQ281, which is the latest one by Volkswagen and is there in there one segment up models as well. This has capacity of up to 330 Nm torque.
To everyone, whoever on average needs city driving, bumper to bumper, less highway driving, they should go to 1.0 ltre. But that does not mean it is underpowered. It is only that your average speed over months will be around 40-60 kmph. But if you drive on highway everyday and over the months your average speed is 60-90 kph, then go for 1.5 tsi. Other than that if price matters then you know the answer.
Very informative ❤👏🏼 addicted to your videos..i have a ques as manish ji sad that there is no issue in DSG if it is working below 250nm or at 250nm torque.. but stock vitrus gt generate 250nm ..so what about the reliability of DSG when we tune it or increase its power/torque above 250nm via remapping or installing some mods??
Excellent session!!! It is very clear now, why everyone suggests not to buy 2nd hand Skoda & VW diesel DSG 1. Water ingress 2. Under designed transmission for actual max torque value 3. Enthusiasts drag races with under designed transmission Keep up the good work!!!
actually, not all the skoda and vw diesel dsg are bad (while buying used) only avoid diesels with DQ200s. I have Octavia 2.0 TDI DSG 1.1lakh km driven. No issues till now FYI it has a DQ250 and works flawlessly. Buying used skodas and vw can be an amazing deal as they depreciate more than other brands and have amazing quality and reliability if maintained properly in long term.
Excellent knowledge brother. Sunderdeep ji apne hmare liye Munish ji ko doonda, uske liye thanks, And Munish ji apki knowledge k karan bahut se log doubtful ho k jo German product left krte they woh ek bar sochne per mazbur hain qki itna brief doubt elimination to Brand ka staff v nehi krta. Apki is koshish se aane wali generation k liye v koi low price range mein koi achsha brand Indian market mein kush additional numbers le kr stable rahega. Thanks
Hi Sunderdeep d Ji , this info was amazing a simple request is to have a convo with manish ji about DSG only , at many places the topic got off tracked because of other topics . A simple video for all the general porpulation just and just about dsg and how to take care of it should be made . ❤
Thank you for discussing DSG in TDI . Appreciate it. Since i own a 2017 Rapid TDI AT now i understand my car's TCU is remapped and i hope Skoda has given extra protection for the water logging situation which Munish mentioned. Will it be safe to say 1.5 TDI DSG should be best driven with a bit less enthusiasm after the end of the warranty period so that peak torgue is well contained My Rapid is in it's final year of extended warranty period and so far I haven't got any problems with my DSG infact I am extremely Happy with its performance. Always gives me joy when I am driving. I never mind the lack of sudden surge of power in first 1.5 seconds in a standstill situation. Can you please discuss how to ensure DSG in TDI work fine for existing Vento and Rapid owners like me who own remapped TCU DSG vehicle Since we would not own a new TDI DSG vehicle. Which is a shame. So how to ensure this DSG problem never occurs or is avoided. Appreciate if you can cover it as well.
@sunderdeep ji and Munish ji do we need to take any precautions while using the 1.5 DSG engine in city bumper to bumper traffic? Do we need to use the paddle shifter during this time or move to Neutral often?
Its seems like VW DIARIES and a new episode of it. In real a true auto-journalist should have these sense of knowledge. Baki sab toh aise e sales person ka btaya hua phaenk re hai. Gehrai toh ap log bta re hai. 🤝🤝👏🏻👏🏻
I have Vento AT petrol 1.2DSG,how to take care of DSG, etc.drive is quite good.I am senior citizens.enjoying this video very much.good knowledge you are sharing.tell about 1.2 petrol also.
Automatic ya manual, sabe me cheezen toot jate. Important thing is with manual, you can control the wear, by doing some work. I have seen the 18 speed trucks, bhai inme revmatching nahi kiya to shift nahi hota. Aur agar tum lever ko force karoge to bas lever haath me aajaega. Itna zyada torque rahega inme, ki kisi bhi clutches/synchros/drivetrain ko tootega. Double clutching will save even the synchros, which work a lot in our day to day cars, even when you heel toe revmatch. Double clutching bhot mushkil kaam he especially under braking, mainly because majority of manufacturers make the ECU to cut throttle when you apply brake. Its such a sad thing, ki jyada log dhyan nahi dete he ye saare cheezen pe, aur baad me 45k 50k clutch replacements pe spend karte he.
Enjoy your videos. What do you suggest on signals and stops for more than 20 seconds recommend we shift to Neutral to protect the 1.5 DSG or keep on D but press the brake. Shifting to N better for me as can give feet rest.
Slavia 1.5 dsg it is possible or any chances gets heated in summers like Delhi where the temp goes upto 45 or may be higher than that if we use full capacity of the engine Mr Munish if u are reading this comment kindly Give ur value able comments Thanks
@ sunderji and munish ji ...i am having skoda laura AT ... kindly recommend me which engine oil and which brand provides it... because it is very difficult to get the right grade of specification? ..
Good day to both of you and New year wishes. Inam using Tata Tiago Diesel 1.05 L Model is XT It completed 4 years and 80 Thousand kms. This time I want to use Fully synthetic engine oil buy Tata service centre doesn't have this option. They provide on 5W30. Please suggest which brand and what grade shall I buy. Your suggestions matter to me.
Mighty New year wishes to you too Sir 🎉 Thanks for the comment Would love to help u for sure. Since ur Tiago car is fitted with 1.05 L Revotorq engine which needs 5w30 ACEA A5/BS 4 litres of engine oil. My first pick is always fully synthetic engine oil and will surely suggest you the best stuff available on the planet as per the toughest quality, strong molecule and unsurpassed engine Lubrication. I am writing 3-4 engine oils as per the top priority and chronology.. Which you can pick as per the availability 1. Motul Eco-Tec Plus 5w30 2. Liquimoly Molygen 5w30 3. Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5w30 These are top of the line stuffs Below are normal but good stuffs 4. Shell Helix HX8 5w30 5. Castrol Magnatec Stop Start 5w30 I hope this will help u sir
Regarding Octavia it's 1250 RPM where the turbo kicks in with peak torque of 250 Nm👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Brains of German engineers to use the cubic capacity and turbo to optimally gain performance and increase reliability
If you are running at higher speeds for longer duration or accelerating harder then 1.5 is better because engine will run at lower RPMs (both engines can perform but larger engine will have lesser load on it)
Hi, very informative video, is DSG gearbox in 1.5 GT still a problem in monsoon? I live in mumbai and lot of areas get waterlogged during rains, should i go for Virtus 1.5 GT or 1.0 Topline ?
As per Mumbai’s condition. I suggest u to go for 1.0 TSi TC But again 1.5 with dsg cn be safe bet with extended warranty till 1.5 lacs kms along with engine n transmission protection policy feature in insurance 😊

Maybe because of less weight of cars

Great discussion but I had challenging issues with DSG as twice the Mechatronics got replaced. Once under warranty and second time recently I paid thru nose. Clutch and flywheel plus fuel pump too got replaced at 1.48 L kms. Bill was of ₹2.4 L. DSG is a treat but costly if anything happens
It's not an if. DSG has design fault and always breaks down, only a matter of time.
Thanks for this great content. This is helpful beyond words for potential buyers. Does DSG box also face heating issues in bumper to bumper traffic? Can this be discussed too briefly?
Also one thing about the manual transmission with Slavia in 1.5. It’s the MQ281, which is the latest one by Volkswagen and is there in there one segment up models as well. This has capacity of up to 330 Nm torque.
Oh greattt
Is this also in taigun or Skoda, or only in sedan version?
@@virendradeshmukh6659 taigun kushaq mein bhi same mq281 hi hai, sirf 1.5L version mein
@@Cosplayinghuman 1L main bhi same gearbox hai
@@virendradeshmukh6659 nahi use mq250 ya 200 hai
If the so called automotive journalists were true to their work, we would still have fun to drive reliable cars with supreme build quality 🙇🏻♂️
To everyone, whoever on average needs city driving, bumper to bumper, less highway driving, they should go to 1.0 ltre. But that does not mean it is underpowered. It is only that your average speed over months will be around 40-60 kmph.
But if you drive on highway everyday and over the months your average speed is 60-90 kph, then go for 1.5 tsi.
Other than that if price matters then you know the answer.
Excellent conversation..very informative..thanks a lot
Great video Paaji. About Taigun, GT manual mil Raha hai but it can get discontinued because it misses on a lot of features.
Correct
Addressing the elephant in the room. Kudos. Way to go paaji!! 👍
Thanks
There is a variant of 1.0TSi in Brazil with 200Nm Torque!!!!
Once again Thank you sunderdeep sir and manish ji.Kya detailing hai waah sirji .
Very informative ❤👏🏼 addicted to your videos..i have a ques as manish ji sad that there is no issue in DSG if it is working below 250nm or at 250nm torque.. but stock vitrus gt generate 250nm ..so what about the reliability of DSG when we tune it or increase its power/torque above 250nm via remapping or installing some mods??
Excellent session!!! It is very clear now, why everyone suggests not to buy 2nd hand Skoda & VW diesel DSG
1. Water ingress
2. Under designed transmission for actual max torque value
3. Enthusiasts drag races with under designed transmission
Keep up the good work!!!
actually, not all the skoda and vw diesel dsg are bad (while buying used) only avoid diesels with DQ200s. I have Octavia 2.0 TDI DSG 1.1lakh km driven. No issues till now FYI it has a DQ250 and works flawlessly. Buying used skodas and vw can be an amazing deal as they depreciate more than other brands and have amazing quality and reliability if maintained properly in long term.
@@baburaodhinchak session is about DQ200, so my comment obviously sticks only to diesel DSG with DQ200
Video clears the doubt between 1.0 Ltr TSI & 1.5 Ltr TSI . ❤
What was the verdict?
Too good knowledge he given
Hands off man
Seriously amazing
20:20 DQ200 is dry clutch. I think you said wet clutch by mistake.
Great insight as always!
By Mistake, yes
Excellent knowledge brother. Sunderdeep ji apne hmare liye Munish ji ko doonda, uske liye thanks, And Munish ji apki knowledge k karan bahut se log doubtful ho k jo German product left krte they woh ek bar sochne per mazbur hain qki itna brief doubt elimination to Brand ka staff v nehi krta. Apki is koshish se aane wali generation k liye v koi low price range mein koi achsha brand Indian market mein kush additional numbers le kr stable rahega. Thanks
Awesome discussion
Tum bohat achha kaam krta he Sunderdeep Bhay🫂❣️
Also video on driving etiquettes for DSG and how to care for it will be much approximated.
Hi Sunderdeep d
Ji , this info was amazing a simple request is to have a convo with manish ji about DSG only , at many places the topic got off tracked because of other topics . A simple video for all the general porpulation just and just about dsg and how to take care of it should be made . ❤
Lovely videos. Though i do feel you guys are more positive than critical on VW shortcomings, but i guess there aren’t that many. Great going.
Volvo and Ford endeavour use five cylinders d5 in Volvo and t6 summom petrol discontinued in India in 2013
Thank you for discussing DSG in TDI . Appreciate it. Since i own a 2017 Rapid TDI AT now i understand my car's TCU is remapped and i hope Skoda has given extra protection for the water logging situation which Munish mentioned.
Will it be safe to say 1.5 TDI DSG should be best driven with a bit less enthusiasm after the end of the warranty period so that peak torgue is well contained
My Rapid is in it's final year of extended warranty period and so far I haven't got any problems with my DSG infact I am extremely Happy with its performance. Always gives me joy when I am driving. I never mind the lack of sudden surge of power in first 1.5 seconds in a standstill situation.
Can you please discuss how to ensure DSG in TDI work fine for existing Vento and Rapid owners like me who own remapped TCU DSG vehicle
Since we would not own a new TDI DSG vehicle. Which is a shame. So how to ensure this DSG problem never occurs or is avoided.
Appreciate if you can cover it as well.
@sunderdeep ji and Munish ji do we need to take any precautions while using the 1.5 DSG engine in city bumper to bumper traffic? Do we need to use the paddle shifter during this time or move to Neutral often?
Coming back to this video for the third time. Really want to go for 1.5 DSG either kushaq or taigun.
Explained simply,tku 💐🙏
Its seems like VW DIARIES and a new episode of it. In real a true auto-journalist should have these sense of knowledge. Baki sab toh aise e sales person ka btaya hua phaenk re hai. Gehrai toh ap log bta re hai. 🤝🤝👏🏻👏🏻
I have Vento AT petrol 1.2DSG,how to take care of DSG, etc.drive is quite good.I am senior citizens.enjoying this video very much.good knowledge you are sharing.tell about 1.2 petrol also.
Your videos are like daily dose of dopamine to me 😊
I would like to see mp3 version of these podcasts in near future sir
*PLEASE TALK MORE ABOUT REMAPPING* 🙏 LOVE THE VIDEOS!!
Maza aa gaya 😀
As I said, I can listen this conversation more than 24 hours 😍😘
Awesome review Sir … hats off to you ❤❤
Bought the Virtus 1.0 on 2nd Jan !!! really happy.
Congratulations
@@SunderdeepSingh thanks man!!
Automatic ya manual, sabe me cheezen toot jate.
Important thing is with manual, you can control the wear, by doing some work.
I have seen the 18 speed trucks, bhai inme revmatching nahi kiya to shift nahi hota. Aur agar tum lever ko force karoge to bas lever haath me aajaega. Itna zyada torque rahega inme, ki kisi bhi clutches/synchros/drivetrain ko tootega.
Double clutching will save even the synchros, which work a lot in our day to day cars, even when you heel toe revmatch. Double clutching bhot mushkil kaam he especially under braking, mainly because majority of manufacturers make the ECU to cut throttle when you apply brake.
Its such a sad thing, ki jyada log dhyan nahi dete he ye saare cheezen pe, aur baad me 45k 50k clutch replacements pe spend karte he.
Part 2 aur yeh video dekhne ke baad, hamne Taigun 1.0 AT kharidi on our 25th wedding anniversary 2023 Nov mein.
Enjoy your videos.
What do you suggest on signals and stops for more than 20 seconds recommend we shift to Neutral to protect the 1.5 DSG or keep on D but press the brake. Shifting to N better for me as can give feet rest.
I always prefer shifting it to N by depressing the brake on long halts
@@SunderdeepSingh thanks 🙏🏻
5:15 Munish Ji was talking about Ford Endeavour 3.2 which has a 5 cylinder engine.
I mentioned in the Caption too :) 5:40
@@SunderdeepSingh Yaa yaa... I just wrote it anyways.
Amazing as always 👍🏻
Slavia 1.5 dsg it is possible or any chances gets heated in summers like Delhi where the temp goes upto 45 or may be higher than that if we use full capacity of the engine
Mr Munish if u are reading this comment kindly
Give ur value able comments
Thanks
Jai jai kaar aa dear, lge rho 👍🎊
Excellent man🥂👍
Not have Skoda/Vw Cars..but still watching..because of munish sir knowledge about tech.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@ sunderji and munish ji ...i am having skoda laura AT ... kindly recommend me which engine oil and which brand provides it... because it is very difficult to get the right grade of specification?
..
Video is finally here.....
Aaj only 30 min delay
nice lecture
plz address bs4 engine ,,which maximum people have
using bs6 fuel ..will it cause any issue going further???use of additives
Good video. DSG discussion was really insightful.
Good day to both of you and New year wishes.
Inam using Tata Tiago Diesel 1.05 L
Model is XT
It completed 4 years and 80 Thousand kms.
This time I want to use Fully synthetic engine oil buy Tata service centre doesn't have this option. They provide on 5W30.
Please suggest which brand and what grade shall I buy.
Your suggestions matter to me.
Mighty New year wishes to you too Sir 🎉
Thanks for the comment
Would love to help u for sure.
Since ur Tiago car is fitted with 1.05 L Revotorq engine which needs 5w30 ACEA A5/BS
4 litres of engine oil.
My first pick is always fully synthetic engine oil and will surely suggest you the best stuff available on the planet as per the toughest quality, strong molecule and unsurpassed engine Lubrication.
I am writing 3-4 engine oils as per the top priority and chronology..
Which you can pick as per the availability
1. Motul Eco-Tec Plus 5w30
2. Liquimoly Molygen 5w30
3. Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5w30
These are top of the line stuffs
Below are normal but good stuffs
4. Shell Helix HX8 5w30
5. Castrol Magnatec Stop Start 5w30
I hope this will help u sir
Regarding Octavia it's 1250 RPM where the turbo kicks in with peak torque of 250 Nm👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Brains of German engineers to use the cubic capacity and turbo to optimally gain performance and increase reliability
Hats of Munish ji, open your channel as well😊
If you are running at higher speeds for longer duration or accelerating harder then 1.5 is better because engine will run at lower RPMs (both engines can perform but larger engine will have lesser load on it)
Hi, very informative video, is DSG gearbox in 1.5 GT still a problem in monsoon? I live in mumbai and lot of areas get waterlogged during rains, should i go for Virtus 1.5 GT or 1.0 Topline ?
As per Mumbai’s condition. I suggest u to go for 1.0 TSi TC
But again 1.5 with dsg cn be safe bet with extended warranty till 1.5 lacs kms along with engine n transmission protection policy feature in insurance 😊
@@munishsharma96 thank you for replying Munishji, how much would that cost, any rough idea?
