That really instills confidence brother. Anyways just for the sake of it I have taken extended warranty so hopefully I will be covered for next 3 years in case if anything goes wrong

ly li apny ?

Thank you so much brother, I didn't intend to shoot but I just made a video to have it in my records. Glad you liked it. I used my IQOO phone. Currently my car has done 78,000km, I will make a long term ownership video for sure

Means a lot brother

Thank you so much veere, means a lot.

All the best for finding a well maintained one buddy. It's a Lovely car and you will love driving it. Please make sure the car you buy has service records and is in good shape. Couple of things to keep in mind- Abs sensors Suspension condition If diesel- Injectors health If DSG- It should not be missing gear or blinking gear error in display Get that extended warranty Dsg oil change at 60k kms Clutch health because it's expensive to replace I'm sure you will find a good one

@@sachinpatra8735 great information provided by you.its really very helpful .many thanks 🙏👍

I know right, this 1.5 tdi is gem of an engine, it's fast and frugal at the same time. I also extended my warranty for 6 years as I didn't want to take risk with DSG, it costed 31k but I feel it's worth it specially for a complex German car

@@sachinpatra8735 Absolutely sir

If you are staying away for months then diesel is a bad idea brother. Diesel needs to be driven every 10days or so, because if not used for long then diesel injectors migh develop problems. Go for petrol auto 1.6 if your budget is a constraint or of you can be bit liberal with your budget then 1.0TSI auto is a hoot to drive. Things to keep in mind -check service records, very important for Skoda -look for signs if vehicle has been used with care or abused -check for suspension as complete overhaul will cost 50k -check for ABS sensor errors in mid or hook it to vcds and see if there are any errors -steering rake, listen if it's rattling If you can find a clean and well maintained Skoda, it will keep you happy for long. And I'm from Chhattisgarh bro. I do travel to Odisa once in a while, I have been to Sambalpur, bhubaneswar, Cuttack, puri

Rapid DSG came with hill hold control. Unfortunately we don't have hills here but I have used this feature mostly in mall ramps and it does its job well

Depends on the condition brother, if it's a well maintained one then you can go ahead. And it's advisable that you please check the service records and also if things gets serious then get it inspected at Skoda service centre. They do these pre sale inspection for a charge and it's a worth it. Since car has done 75k kms, do keep in mind that you may be seeing some expenses like tyres, battery, clutch, suspension. Bargain accordingly and also ensure that you keep some funds in case if ths car needs some immediate attention and repair. If the car is serviced on time and well cared, then these cars are fairly reliable and can go 2L easily. Is it manual or DSG and also petrol of diesel?

Hi buddy, let me check today, I have never tried it.

​@@sachinpatra8735 Hi Sachin, did you check it?

@@yogeshmali7838 hey buddy, I just reached home and I tried pulling the dipstick out when engine was running, there was very minute smoke coming from the engine. Just a little smoke, nothing major as such. Hope it helps 👍🏼

​@@sachinpatra8735 Thanks, bhai!!

As long as the car is well maintained and has service records, a big yes brother

No

D3-D2 transition is jerky when driven at City speeds. Initially I was worried about it but when I took my car to service centre and also drove other DSG equipped cars, I realised that DSG is inherently jerky at city speeds. If you feel DSG is missing gears or gear position is blinking in your mid, then something might be wrong. Or else minor jerk at speeds upto 20kmph is normal

You will have to buy it from your service centre. It comes along with the bumper fitting bracket. It should cost you around 8-10k but it's worth the investment. It cover the entire engine. Please go through my teambhp review, I have posted the pictures of the same

@@sachinpatra8735 Couldn’t find the thread. Could you share the link plz

@@DrArnabSahoo scroll down the following link of teambhp, you will see I have posted a picture of the underbody cover from the front angle.

No no nothing, you just drive normally as you would be doing and during the drive itself you can shift to S mode or manual mode from D and also back to D from S/manual. It's only when you want to shift to neutral or parking that you would need to press brake

@@sachinpatra8735 Great thanks mate... Your awesome 😎

6.5-7.5

If well maintained and under warranty, DSG anyday brother

Rapid has been discontinued now. The only variant available might be the matt grey edition

@@sachinpatra8735 ohhh bad luck, Any way thanks 🙏

Get your injector, fuel pump, fuel lines checked. Mine always gives 20+ in mixed driving conditions.

70mai dashcam... When I bought it during Covid, it was 5k, now it has become 8k

Hi there, I am not sure if it's available in your 2012 model. Like in my car, there's a switch in the wiper stalk, pressing that small toggle switch in the wiper stalk changes the display. If you are still not able to use the feature, then contact DrCodemyVag in insta, they will help you enable/unlock features in your Skoda

@@sachinpatra8735 hello sir, that toggle switch in wiper stalk is not there in my car, this is only ambition model, is it possible by connecting vcds cable? Pl reply sir

@@sowryamasarapu1578 I believe it's the older model of Rapid and that's why there is no switch. But since it's a Skoda, there are a lot of modification possibilities. So VCDS might help you enable the feature and you may need a new wiper stalk with a button. If this also doesn't work then a new instrument cluster will definitely help. Some people on teamBHP have done a lot of modification on their cars, that might help you. Search Gannu TeamBHP, Fluidicjoy TeamBHP They changed the instrument cluster to GTI international ones. These people have done crazy level mods on their Polo. Try contacting an independent garage and tuners who specialise on German cars, they will help you with.

@@sachinpatra8735 sure sir, will chck

Brother I'm sure all these "people" who are telling you not buy Skoda are the ones who don't own Skoda themselves. I would suggest go ahead and buy one and also please buy the "service package". It will cost you 25k and you don't have to pay for next 4 years. If you do the math it's very reasonable on per year basis. Plus Slavia/Kushaq are highly localised so that has already brought down the cost. Take a test drive and you will come impressed. The only cost would be your tyres, battery, insurance which is something you will have to pay in every car, rest service would be covered under the package.

Thank you brother. That was a real great advice. I have taken the test drive of slavia I am pretty much impressed. The only thing which I felt bad was skoda removing some cool features like subwoofer and 10 inch infotainment system. Rest all the car have bonkers performance.

@@pranaykhandelwal2070 This is because of semiconductor shortages. Anyways I have heard good thing about the new 8 inch screen. But it looses wireless Android auto/carplay and as you said the subwoofer too.

The DSG lag is there in the initial pickup but if you put it in S mode, the problem is solved

@@sachinpatra8735 thanks for quick response, appreciated !!

Also sachin, i am experiencing some loud sound /bang/ twash like sound from mostly front suspension if we have somewhat deep/ big potholes at normal/high speeds-comparatively.....is it normal for rapid ?? Mine has run only 15K kms

@@nikhilkulkarni7936 First get the car's underbody washed for removing any mud deposition. Second, take it to good alignment and balancing shop and also check air pressure. If the problem still persist, get your suspension lower arms, bushings checked.

No don’t buy Too costly for 230000 driven car

@@senthilnathanpalaniswamy8165 👍he sold it to someone for 5.40 L cash

Sorry for the late reply bro, that's too many kilometres and price is high. Here a 2020 Rapid TSI AT 30k kms Ambition went for only 7.5L

If the car is maintained well and DSG care has been ensured then only go ahead. more importantly try to find a car with warranty and when you buy it, extend the warranty for 6 years. Because DSGs are very complex gearbox and if something goes wrong with the mechatronic, it will cost you 1-2L for repair. Find a clean example, all the best 👍🏼

Bhai 4-5.5 lacs ( if first owner) depending on the condition. Bhai dekho Skoda VW aisi cars h k kisi ne acche se maintain ki h, tabhi lena, or else avoid kare wo car. And since you are saying it's a diesel automatic so DSG wali car h, please check kar lo k DSG me kya kaam hua h ya nahi, car highways me chali h to better h agar city use jaada hua h to wear and tear bhi zaada hoga. And 1,80,000kms is high for DSG equipped car so expect DSG mechatronics ya clutch pack ka kaam mamgegi hi car. So keep atleast 1-2 lac for maintenance, worst case me jarurat pad skti h apko. And parts are expensive too because parts mostly Austria Germany me hi bante h. All the best, don't stick to one car, keep looking for alternative also. My honest advice - 1.8L kms run DSG maybe risky

@@sachinpatra8735 Thank you so much bhaiya for your reply

Last month I was offered 10.2L but I refused it because I don't want to sell it as the car is very precious to me. I have completed 59k kms now.

I agree completely, hopefully my DSG fails within the warranty period, it will get replaced under warranty as has happened with my friends car

Sure brother

@@sachinpatra8735 how much is the yearly expense of skoda rapid?

@@Shin16_ with time the expenses have gone up brother. Service costs somewhere around 14-17k yearly. Then with age you need to change suspension + steering rack that costs 70k, DSG clutch is very expensive, abs sensors go bad etc.

In heavy and stop-go traffic which requires a lot of idling then mileage takes a hit and gives 10-11kmpl and if moderate traffic then 15-16kmpl

@@960gaming okay, there might be 2 reason that you didn't feel the punch 1. Car is not well maintained 2. You are used to faster cars with 200 bhp like Octavia, 320d

@@sachinpatra8735 I drive maruti s cross 😂 Btw I drove an automatic car for the first time maybe I didn't knew how to push I just pushed the accelerator to full depth didn't feel the punch

@@960gaming I guess you did right, you have to press the accelerator fully and DSG will downshift and bang, you will get that pushed into the seat! Feeling. If that car didn't do it, stay away from it. It was a diesel automatic right? If it was a petrol 1.6 Auto then that is lethargic engine, can't expect much from it. But if it indeed was a diesel auto then there is something wrong with the car.

I'm not going to sell my Rapid bro because even for 30L budget, I'm not going to get a diesel automatic car which is fun to drive and efficient at the same time. The only upgrade I feel is the big Germans but I don't have the budget at the moment
