Here is your 5 Step guide to get the best Reliability from Turbo Charged Petrol Engine and DCT Automatic Gearbox in India in terms of Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Hyundai I20 and Tata Nexon
Recently I went buy a Aprilia SR 160 & the showroom charged PDA/handling charge of 2k. I denied immediately & said I will mail this to Aprilia and left the showroom. Within less than15 minutes I got a call and thay say they are removing it. On that spot I remembered you as I got this knowledge from your video. So thank you 🙏...
@@TechLight I don't have a video of it. PDA charges were applied in my case while I am trying to buy Aprilia at the showroom. This is charge for cleaning and maintenance, you can deny them and don't be in a hurry. You can take the written quote and mail it to the company. This will be removed.
I'm having a Volkswagen Polo GT-TSI, safest idling time at starting and end is one minute. In bumper to bumper traffic at a short halt press full break instead of half, at a long halt keep the gear in neutral position to disengage the transmission for its safety and long life. In long/cross country drives, give rest to the car for at least fifteen minutes at every two hundred kilo meters or so. Last but not the least, get car serviced at scheduled intervals for total/absolute peace of mind. Regards & Happy Deepawali.
Dear friend, an automobile today is a highly sophisticated piece of "high end" technology, unlike the earlier Ambassador or Premier Padmini! So the DRIVER has also to be more careful. More discipline and patience is needed. Regular servicing FROM THE AUTHORISED AGENCY is very essential. Today, we find many (particularly young generation) drive as if their parents own the roads. They will revv up engine to express their impatience and to impress others. Good to read that you are taking care of the vehicle! Happy driving!!
Being a car enthusiast, I have done idling in all my turbo petrol and diesel cars. Majority people do not follow this practice. Which may lead to turbo failure (expensive replacement) Good that you covered this topic 👍
I just bought an MG HS 1.5 Turbo. I knew about the cons of turbocharged engines before buying but after doing some research i think NA engines are still more reliable. Is there anything else i need to know before using it?
It seems it's a myth. I drive fludic verna 1.6 turbo diesal. Never practiced idling. Done 2,00,000km in 10 years. No problem at all car stoll gives 20kmpl+ milage with good performance. Just one thing I do is I do not race or load car too much for first two three minutes.
@@rajandeepsinghbhullar4894try this with petrol ....and you shall know whats the right thing to do....... remember.....diesel is naturally viscous with some amount of lubrication...a natural shield.....while petrol is much more dry and corrosive in nature......you may physically check and notice the difference yourself.....
This is called real knowledge. I am owning turbocharged engine. Sir and I faced these issues in real life. Hats off to you sir. Other automotive RU-vid's don't talk these issues. You are simply great and also I want to share my experience to you about my car.
This is my all time favourite channel. My Hindi got better after listening to you Sir. Your comments are honest and you manage to impress the audience every time with the actual facts and real time data. Keep rocking!
I am NOT an automobile engineer but I had read that the life of a naturally aspirated petrol engine is normally higher than a Turbo engine. The repair charges for a Turbo Engine is much more than a normal petrol engine! So, I think that as one who does not have money to throw away, I will settle for a normal petrol engine!!
Since you're making the engine work more and produce more power than it actually can, from forced induction, the wear and tear increases. That's why turbo engines have comparatively lesser life, but that's usually the case for aftermarket turbo setup. Most OEM turbo engines come built to take more amount of wear to increase their life so the difference between those and NA engines should be marginal imo (given that you take proper care of the engine).
@@lokasanjari5276 I'm not an automobile journalist so I don't know how much value my opinion should hold. Honestly I'm not a fan of Crossover SUVs personally, but if you like them then you can consider it and take a test drive. I think the Venue has good features but the suspension is soft and steering is light according to reviews. If it suits your driving style then go for it. Although I'm not sure about the reliability of the iMT since it's a new transmission so I guess if you really want it then go for it otherwise go for a regular manual variant.
@@yoaashay Direct injection is the bigger problem, not turbo. It needs high pressure fuel injectors and carbon buildup can cause problems for injectors and valves too. Normal engines are port injected. It means fuel is sprayed through the valves into the cylinder in liquid form. So carbon buildup on the valves will be washed away by the fuel. GDI engines inject fuel at high pressure directly into the cylinder. So valves can get clogged after a long time.
Thanks for passing on useful knowledge, i am planning for turbo petrol car. looks like have to become a very disciplined driver. Happy Diwali Gaganji.. !
👌 very 👍 Few more things to add - 1- Iddle stop feature in case of turbocharged engine is of no use 2- Just start and run practice to be changed to prevent costly turbocharger 3- even with naturally aspirated engine also it will be a good practice to run engine for 2/3 minutes before start driving this will allow engine oil to reach every bearing and shaft journal , make a lubricating oil film for better life of engineand even after reaching to destination so that the engine temperature which has gone very high while driving will come down substantially because of no load and running if fan and coolant pump
Thank you for the clear and simple, easy to understand explanation.. This video will definitely help a lot of car owners from incurring unnecessary heavy expenditure..
I must say that you are doing a Social service. You actually care for your audience. Worth watching and listening to. Crisp, easy to understand info. Keep up the good work!
Moral of the story: if you are planning to keep turbo car for more than 7-8 years, take care of points he mentioned. You will end up driving car with decent efficiency and performance till last day...else it may make you visit workshop now and then after 5 years or so...
i don't have turbo model but still watching it for knowledge..... trust me this is most underrated youtube channel..... i mean i m on this channel just for knowledge....... extremely unique and valuable content...and very easy to understand the technical things....
Thank you so much Sir for every video you upload. It's so informative and you cover all the hygiene factors related to car usage which is phenomenal. Great content as always 👍
You had been a great help to all car buyers ! Your knowledge about automobiles is astounding and presentations are crisp and honest ! Learnt lots ! Thank you !🙏
Very informative ! Never knew about these drawbacks. For Indian conditions, it seems buying a manual car with naturally aspirated engines will last long. Its not that , automatic transmission and turbo engines are bad but now I understand why many people blame company for faults with cars and a lot has got to do with whether u follow the dos & donts.
That is why it is said " There is no replacement for displacement" :) Thank you sir for speaking on this topic. Why pay more knowing potential problems ..NA engines have always been the best for reliability and some are not just reliable but fun too .. Honda city for those who can afford else there is always Figo/Freestyle/ Swift , which are great fun to drive...People feel 1.0 turbo is high tech just by bragging about power but in reality there is so much compromise just to make it affordable - gets 3 cylinders instead of 4( cost cutting with exception of old 1.2 GT TSI with DSG) - Dry clutch instead of wet ( again cost cutting) - 1.0 liter engines , way too much pressure on small engine to produce high power outputs ( again cost cutting) All of these posing potential problems impacting reliability.
In 1500CC Petrol engine of Honda City vs Maruti Brezza vs Seltos are most reliable and long lasting? In 1200 CC swift vs Nios vs Tiago vs Figo which is best in descending order of reliability? Plz advice
@@ramsingh-ni3un in 1200cc segment hyundai 1.2 vtvt and maruti 1.2 k12c are nearly same in terms of reliability but maruti 1.2 is more efficient. 1.maruti 2.hyundai 3.ford 4.tata
Glad I watched your video, very informative. No other reviewer even with more than 2 mil views or more was this specific about such things. Your channel deserves to be on top.
I was going to comment GDI needs a break after 3hours and our traffic conditions require a wet dual clutch but it is a costly technology so car companies use dry clutch anyway your advice was very apt and happy Diwali sir
That’s where people did not appreciate the dsg in polo, vento , rapid because it was so costly than a normal torque converter and dsg is wet clutch assembly only Germans can provide this type of tech even in a 8 lakh car , but people did not find it feasible to spend 1.5 lakhs over manual but the hypocrisy is they will want to spend 1-1.20 lakhs for a dct in hatchback or 1.5 lakh for a torque converter 5 speed in brezza / urban cruiser
@@krishchaudhry2222 VW offered their DQ200 gearbox which was a dry clutch. That's the reason they had problems. Their more expensive offerings like the Tiguan comes with a wet clutch DSG
@@krishchaudhry2222 The polo or Vento never came with a wet clutch in India as they are much more expensive. Doesn't justify the price on smaller cars. Furthermore, the DQ200 is capable of handling only 250Nm, so it did not make sense to fit it in a small car (The 1.2 TSI made 175Nm and the 1.5TDI made 250Nm). VW made a miscalculation by bringing in the DQ200 to India because we have bad traffic congestions, unlike Europe
Good information. everything is accurate expect one instead of cleaning the injector you need to get the intake valve cleaned. There are couple of ways to do it like use of fuel system cleaning additives can be used every ten thousand kilometres or as you said at 40k kilometres at authorised workshop. Every manufacturer has different methods. There are some GDI engine's with dual injector system which don't require the above maintenance as they have a extra injector in the Port as well.
Although additives/valve cleaner treatment are good enough for the longevity of the vehicle but the best trick to eliminate the buildup in the first place is using an oil-catch can in the PCV loop. Nice that you pointed out
As a mechanical engineer i was sure.. thanks for confirming these demerits will not rely of tata's turbo in Nexon.. will skip my choice of nexon petrol for urban cruiser/ brezza.. 1.5 naturally aspirated aspirated 4 cylinder.. Will hate to drive unrefined 3 cylinder petrol .. thanks brother 👍🎖️🥂
Tata has made sure on Nexon that whenever u start the engine in the morning (coldstart) , the engine will choke start for about 45 secs and then there is a engine heat signal which has to go off after idling for about 2 mins. And after a long drive, u have to wait for youself to bring the turbo to cool..
@@ampassionstruck9138 yes... But you can get good figures with gradually paddling and following idling rule as discussed in this video.. it will save from wear- tear and low economy figures👍🎖️
Plz keep in mind that 1.5 litre engines will be replaced by 3 cylinder 1.2 litre turbo engines globally to reduce fuel consumption(in turn to reduce global emissions) . Torque and hp is similar on both. Bigger cars will definitely have turbos. So better learn to use turbos
@@alokdeshwal1 Naturally Aspirated engine is cost friendly and durable.. it will go up to 400000 km easily but revotron engine ..Only up to 200000 km..
Naturally Aspirated of Ford's engines give power surge of Turbos and very high reliability of Nautrally aspirated engines. Driving Ford aspire since 3 years and haven't spent even a single extra penny on the service (3-4K only)
I think turbo diesels are the best.They are reliable too. Anyone can confirm it from any innova driver lol. Just take care of turbo cars( they are different but awesome) . The surge is so addictive.
Best auto-info channel for me, hats off to you for providing information on such topics. I watch your channel because of meaningful information. Lots of respect for you.
That's mainly because he doesn't seem to have a fake biased team ,like many other channels that exist only for likes and subscribers . Then after gaining a fan base they monetize their reach to promote biased fake information to users and disrupt actual market trends. Mainly with biased vlogs, canned comments & likes and attacking genuine user feedbacks in the comments section. Also he is not giving out such click bait controveries to increase traffic. I feel most of his reviews and posts are based on facts and actual user feedback. Such channels grow slowly but steadily supported by actual subscribers who value facts and are not biased.
What a great explanation of the demerits of turbo petrol engine over naturally aspirated petrol engine ! Please do give a analysis on what engine to buy in detail , so that it can help many first time car buyers ✌️
Well that’s news for me . Because in Canada and USA they are offering Eco boost engines since 2012. But 1.6 and 2.0 liters are more popular . I had one Escape with 1.6 Ecoboost which I drove for 1,30,000 kilometers. No issues but the mileage was not good .
Came across your channel today. Subscriberd because you got very nice and practical information without any nonsense. I learnt this hard way after destroying my turbo charger..
Thanks for bringing awareness to normal people. Great advise on carbon cleaning valves and GDI engines being run Lean, but I don't think turning it off ever 150kms is unnecessary as engines reach equilibrium far before that and engines tend to run hotter in stop and go traffic without much air moving through the engine compartment.
Very informative video sir 🙂. Me and my friend always discuss this that the best choice would be a 4 cylinder natural aspirated engine with either manual or CVT transmission. This combination is supposed to be most economical and maintenance friendly in the long run (10-15 years)
*Turbo diesels are the best overall. Good mileage, almost similar bhp to turbo petrol, much better torque, high reliability. Though petrol is more cleaner, it also depletes faster, thus requires more refuelling which causes petrol to deplete faster from earth's core than diesel. So Diesel and petrol are equally harmful in one way or another.
The Indian car scene is in a ridiculous situation. If you want a NA car for long reliability, then you need to go for Maruthi or hyundai. As you know these Manufactures are infamous for shitty build quality/safety issues. If you want a strong stable car then go with Tata or Mahindra, but they don't have any NA options.
Dont join the fight...brands are just giving a feel that they're competing each other whereas all the parts and engines must be manufactured in same factories...
@@seasaltlemon8237 tata started selling with SAFETY gimmicks among we poor Indians recently..rich were always safe driving bmws, benz and audi...safety doesnt matter in India much as 95% of car owners commute on bikes and scooters for most of the days in month...😁
@@seasaltlemon8237 so true...helmet hanged on bike handles and fight with someone on their car's safety which is in garage NOT driven for a week or so... 😁
