It's plug and play, but installation method slightly different from normal ones, which is instructed on the cover. Advantage of frameless is it will stick on uniformly in the glass, whereare framed ones put less pressure in curvy surface of the glass. Other than that this is just normal blades. Rubber is softer compared to others, so life may be slightly reduced in Indian condition. I'm expecting it to last one year only.

Car packed up all of a sudden. Battery is drained. Car at home and called for roadside assistance. Package recently expired and they were saying whopping 4k to attend the car. Applied for renewal, 3.3k.
Oh, that's a really bad news. Never heard of the battery getting drained.
Keep us informed.

Hi deville_56,
i have cover over 30K with my polo TDI and now service is due. at 15k service i have paid around 14 thousand. so now i m afraid of the price of second service as disc pads are need to be change.
i have few questions
u got a cheaper 2nd servicing cost how??
did u specifically told them to not do some things on your car, as i m seeing u just only asked for 30K service????
n did u asked them to change your front disc pads???

BTW Battery changed. Charged around 7k for battery plus some checkup blah blah with alternator.
Didn't see the bill. It was around 14k only.

Re: Service Updates
are you doing your Polo servicing from any third party(mahindra 1st choice or carnation) or from VW authorised service station???
and secondly is it advice able to get it done from some where out??
Done 15k km in under 10 months.
Verdict - Rock sold, some niggling issues.
1st gear ruin the ride, skip it, you love it![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")
Niggling issues
Brake making weird noise - Fault was fresh tar stuck between brakes.
Rattling doors - Idiots forgot to put back door handle spacers after painting, blamed the poor audio guy, made him refit the door pad twice.
Squeaky rear seat - This problem persist for every who removed rear bench to install seat cover. VW engineer came down to rectify this issue in a friend's dad's Vento, but never rectified. They charged 250+ tax last time for fixing it, but the problem resurfaced a week later, now they saying it can't be rectified for the time being until VW come up with something.
Poor quality wipers - Fog buildup from outside, streaking lines even before car hit its first monsoon. Bought Bosch blades, effective than stock.
Front windows up and rear down means rear windscreen shaking like hell, very irritating and terrible. Design flaw.
Burning holes
Interim Service
Check up at 7.5k km
Total Bill - 2400 INR
Oil Topup - 970 (Castrol Magnatec 1L) (Returned the excess oil)
Wheel alignment + Balancing - 800
Labour - 500
Breakdown Service (10.7k km)
Car refused to start one fine moment after halting for a minute.
RSA came and took the car on flat-bed.
Bill for break down and tow - Nil
Rear seat reinstall - 250 + tax
1st paid service
@15k km
Labor - 2070 + tax
Parts - 8105 + tax
Total - 11525
Returned the excess oil and wind screen washer fluid and old parts.
Accident Repair:
Done at Auto Engineers (Bosch Car Care). Dented left rear fender, repainted both bumpers, left ORVM. Changed right ORVM glass (unluckily plain glass).
Total bill -7k. Opted to pay from pocket as the AE guy said no claim bonus will be a bigger sum compared to the claim we get though it had bumper to bumper claim.
(VW charged 10k for painting the mirror and door handles, now quoted 10k for the rear denting alone or FOC under insurance, but car will be with them for 25 days. They declined changing mirror alone, instead they wanted us to replace the full assembly saying internals are damaged. 2k for assembly plus at least 1k for painting plus labour extra. Assembly works fine, only issue is the plain mirror).

Damn. That is a lot of running :) How is the car holding up after 60k kms? My Polo is about to touch 30k kms (at the moment, the odo stands at 29995). Need to take her for the second service as well. How much did the 30k service cost you? Do you remember? My 15k service cost me Rs. 12k.
