Did a quick service at a VAG special garage, Candour Auto Tech. Service quality was top-notch. Just a basic oil and filter change. TAT was under 30 min with a quick underhood clean. Parts were costlier than VW, but all genuine parts. This place was too close and would not charge for removing each and every bolt, so ...... Polo was the smallest car worked there, rest being mostly Mercs.
Only thing I disliked was he used only 3L oil instead of the 4.4L, but level is still showing full in dipstick and no warning lights. Read the whole manual and there is no mention of oil quatity, only mention was checking and topping up every couple of 1000 km. A debatable topic. Still gonna trust that guy. Checking level regularly.
Engine Oil ₹ 3,750.00 (Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 3L)
Oil Filter ₹ 575.00
Air Filter ₹ 950.00
AC Filter ₹ 725.00
Oil and Filter Replacements ₹ 550.00
ECU Scan/Service Reset ₹ 550.00
Was in hurry and did not replace diesel filter. Will be replacing in a week or 2.
Got estimate for 90k job. Rear suspension is leaking. V-belt needs preventative replacement. Steering box makes a clicking feel when self centering.

EGR making annoying ticking noise. Gotta check it next time.
Been a fan of STP additives. Bought one for Polo after trying on i20. Tremendous improvement in low end and power delivery (and improved mileage in i20). Been using with petrol engines for like 3-4 years, even @vichu. First time trying on diesel. Price was 350, I believe. I20 guy was behind me to steal this one![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")

New Minda frameless blades. Priced in par with the Chinese blades (inconsistent quality). Paid ₹ 400.00 for pair. Driver side 24" and Passenger side 16".
Packing was good.
Looks similar to Chinese, but sturdier.
Excellent sweep. No juddering.
Wierdest part. No fuse card or any information on manual or anywhere on the car/fuse box.

Horn upgrade, single to dual. Pair of old burnt Root Windtone lying around. Some twist and turns and it works, though crude, but chalega for the time being.
Truck load of connectors.
UNO Minda 4 pin relay. Paid 80 INR. 4 pin relays now hard to find, only mini 5 pin type available, the bolt hole missing in those.
Male connectors to tap OE horn connector. Got from scavenged old bike wiring harness.
Custom plug and play kit
All goes into OE horn location.
Lots of terminals for expansion.

Mobil 1 0W40 1 L - ₹ 1,330.00 (MRP ₹ 1,350.00)
Bosch Auto Cool 1 L - ₹ 190.00 (MRP ₹ 200.00)
March 2017:
Dieselgate Recall:
Gave to SVC after frequent calls and repeat missed appointments.
Post software update: Significant power drop is felt. Sluggish when it pulls from standstill, but is still driveable.
VW car care kit. They price it ₹1999.00. This is what we Indians get as compensation for getting fooled.![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

Serviced again at Candour Auto Tech, an FNG doing only European cars especially VW group and tristar. Parts are bit costlier than OEM, may be its a premium garage (and Polo might be the cheapest car they work with).

Surprised to see this.
Tyre time:
Yokohama ES100 ran a good 35k km, though dealer said it will run 20-25k km. Two tyres got bald/out edge uneven wear due to low air and micro puncture became daily occurence. Yokohama was nowhere available in city due to dealer dispute. Other good tyres were super expensive (unjustified for what we pay compared to ES100). And then there was Falken and Nangkang.
Was scrolling through options in forums and by chance saw reviews on MRF ZLO. Completely forgot about that after having first hand experience on i20. It was a good grippy tyre with less road noise. Internet affirmed the same. Just passed by the MRF showroom, got in for casual enquiry. No stock according to owner, but manager arranged 2017 make 4 pieces in no time. Price offered was irresistable. MRP north of ₹6k and offer price was ₹3.8k/piece, cheaper than even online prices. Falken and Nangkang were quoted ₹4.4k and ₹4.2k. Changed all 4 in a gap of 2 weeks 2 at a time.
Cost:
MRF ZLO 195/60R14 x4 - ₹15,200.00
Alignment + balancing + fitment - ₹850.00
Total: ₹16,000.00 (Rounded)
(USP of non-MRF dealers are they offer alignment + balancing + fitment + nitrogen free )
What we used to see daily. Micropunctures. Got a 30 strip kit solely for this.
Rohini Tyres, one of the cheapest deal you can get in Trivandrum, thanks to competition (used to be the most expensive guys)
MRF ZLO 195/60R14
Performance very much comparable with Michelin XM series. No one would believe it is made by MRF
Tread pattern is asymmetric .

Car started developing power loss and thick smoke on hard acceleration. Coil sign showing up once in a while. On scan showed error (forgot what). Took it to VW.

It's huge, though cramped inside.
New horns. Bosch Symphony. Finish and packing changed. Old ones used to have zinc gold back and clamps. Got for ₹ 638.00. Simply replaced existing ones. They were old packed up ones.
One stupid TVS XL guy broke mirror at Tirunelveli town. Drove back without mirrors.
Non-OEM convex mirror - ₹ 140.00
Mirror Cap LHS - 5Z1857537 9B9 - ₹ 137.00
RHS had enough bruising and LHS matt black.
DIY painted. Finished in piano black.
Had a brawl with VW guy over counter sale of mirror cap. At first it was out of stock. When it arrived, he said he cannot give unpainted since the other is painted, assuming its higher trim version. Finally complained with manager, ended up getting mirror cap, not as spare, but installed by them. Charged ₹ 118.00. First quote was approx ₹ 900.00 including painting.
Lost/misplaced wheel spanner somewhere. Got an unbranded one for ₹ 190.00

Late night long runs proved headlights useless. So upgraded. Still not much improvement, but better, HL assembly needs replacement.
Philips Essential Vision 100/90 - ₹ 414.00
Been using this in Estilo for ages. Better than Rally in terms of output, but won't feel it due to temperature.
Scavenged wiring kit from Estilo. Last minute late night urgency and Estilo had better stock lights with fog lamps and was not used night much. Phillips wiring kit and Roots relay. Phillips relay now doing duty in i20.
Relay goes there.
Lots of terminals for power.
Secured well.
Grounded. Points were not great, use to lose connection once in a while, have to tighten bolts to restore. No other close enough ground points.
Temperature difference.
