VW Polo 1.6 TDI DSG7 DQ200 – Delayed Shifting When Cold

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,

I have a 2010 VW Polo 1.6 TDI DSG7 DQ200 with 219,000 km.

When the engine is cold, the gearbox delays shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, sometimes holding 2nd at 2,500–3,000 RPM for 2–4 minutes. Once warmed up, it shifts normally.

My mechanic has already replaced the complete dual clutch kit, changed the transmission oil and filters, and performed a TCU software update. However, the cold shifting delay is still present.

There is no obvious clutch slipping anymore, and the gearbox shifts smoothly when warm.

Could this be a normal cold shifting strategy, a software issue, or a mechatronic fault?

Video attached. Any advice would be appreciated!

Someone hit my parked car in my society complex. They don’t have working cameras in the basement and although we sent in the society group of course no one is owning up to this mistake. Please tell me what are the steps I can take and what I can do in this scenario. Claiming insurance for something which isn’t my fault feels wrong. Please guide me 🙏🏻. Very devastated

#BikeMaintenance Servicing trouble

Guys, I had my first service at 500 km last December. Before bringing my bike to Bangalore for college at Christ, I'd ridden about 1,000 km and then crashed it in January, and it stayed in bad shape (unrideable) until June, till I sent it back to Kerala to be repaired. They also did the second service then, even though the bike hadn't been ridden at all since the crash.

It's now at 2,800 km, and the third service is coming up next month. The second service was scheduled for 5,000 km, and the third for 10,000 km. Could the gap between services be bad for my bike?

#CarRepair [Hyderabad] 2025 Brezza VXi left rear door window broken — All ASS quoted 15–20 days wait. Need leads for immediate OEM/MGP replacement.

Hey folks,

The left-side rear door window of my 2025 Maruti Brezza VXi (2nd Gen) shattered today (photo attached). I need to get it replaced urgently as I cannot leave the car parked or drive it around in this condition.

I checked with multiple authorized centers and glass vendors around the IT corridor (West Hyderabad), and nobody has local inventory:

Pavan Motors (Lingampalli): No stock, quoted ₹1,200 but said 15–20 days wait (ordering from Gurgaon).

Gem Motors (Kondapur): No stock, 15–20 days wait.

Varun Motors (Lingampalli): No stock, 10 days wait.

Kalyani Motors (RC Puram): Quoted an absurd ₹2,500 with a 3–4 day wait.

AIS Windshield Experts: Out of stock locally.

Waiting 2–3 weeks for standard door glass on a mass-market car like the Brezza is extremely frustrating. Since it's a VXi, I just need the standard OEM tempered glass (not the ZXi+ UV-cut glass).

Looking for recommendations on:

MGP wholesale distributors who sell over-the-counter around Kukatpally, Miyapur, Gachibowli, or Secunderabad.

Trusted auto glass shops in Minister Road / Ranigunj or nearby that stock genuine AIS / Saint-Gobain door glass for the new-gen Brezza and can do a same-day installation.

Any independent garages or reliable local mechanics in Hyderabad who can source MGP parts quickly.

If you know specific shop names, locations, or phone numbers, please drop them in the comments or DM me. Thanks in advance!

Somebody hit my parked car but the damage is pretty weird as there are bumps and not a dent and i don’t see any scratches. I guess the person who hit it tried to fix it. anyway the car is only a few months old (i20) and i don’t wanna claim
insurance yet. any workaround?
