3,00,000 km with my Skoda Rapid DSG: How the car has held up so far

The car never let me down on long hauls, just basic code issues for which the obvious limp mode but those were corrected,

BHPian ashish.shenoy recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

To begin with, I wanted to post this when it had crossed 2 lac kms but thought it might be a bit early so why not flex it more, yes it’s a good 3 lac kms on the ODO now, why so, because this is my primary vehicle and most of the time I prefer to drive this beauty than fly anywhere.

• Make : Dec 2016,
• Rapid TDI DSG 1.5,

Tuning:

• Stage 1 ECU Stage 2 TCU Remap
• Approx figures: 145Hp/320Nm, (tuned post the clutch change)

Repairs done till now :

• Multiclutch & Flywheel, once, at 1.8 lac kms,

• Radiator Fan, primarily due to wear and tear,

• Basic suspension bushes, not changed the struts yet

• Day I bought the car, upsized to Yokohama S drive 205/55/15, running on 4th set currently, (lovely slicks)

• Mileage: 17km/l odd in the city, on the highway max I got was 28km/l with sane driving, ( this is post remap as well)

Apart from this, haven’t changed any, injectors, sensors (none of them), mechatronix, etc…

The car never turned me down on long hauls, just basic code issues for which the obvious limp mode but those were corrected,

It’s a beauty on the highways especially expressway ( yes I’ve paid multiple challans, but now I’ve tamed it & myself so never had any of its selfies lately )

I’ve been reading people complaining about quality of parts, mechanicals, electronics but trust me, this one never troubled me
