Skoda Kushaq & Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 TSI RELIABILITY Review | Remove this Feature ASAP | CarMaster 

Obviously when no oil is sprayed over those cutoff cylinders it's going to have adverse effects. That's why I always follow you. You tell the viewer something a paid channel never will. 🔥

Instantly subscribed! Thank you for the information :)

I have a very basic question on whether we can really differentiate when 4 cylinders are activated and when not? because I test drove the vehicle and I felt sometime I got a good power during 2nd gear and sometimes it was dragging and so I was not able to make a proper judgement. If we say its activated when we press hard the acceleration what's the exact point and how do we know it

Tell me which to buy I'm booking tomorrow

This feature is present in outside market for many years. It would have been better if you could provide any issue faced by owners due to ACT.

But won't the warranty will be affected in new cars for deactivating ACT??

But as you've said 1.5 tsi is reliable as such. So certainly one can remove that software/device easily. And for others, there are lots of videos on youtube to do so. 👌

Have you discussed this with VW?

Bhai whatever you tell is always off beat and brutally true. I see many duumb wits throwing hate comments on some of your videos. But those nursery kids don't know that THERE IS Internet TO VERIFY WHAT YOU'VE SAID. But they are either fools who have bought the wrong stuff without research or toxic fanboys 😂😂😂😂. As any mechanic about VW cars kids. They'll open your eyes, if not CarMaster.

What happened to vw ?...

But according to one source 1.5 is more fuel efficient that 1.0. let's see the inclination of people towards type of variant of Kushaq

Brother baat theek hai but usme options hai ki aapko act off krni hai

Carmaster, is VW DSG's DQ200 version which is there in Kushaw and Taigun and Polo a wet clutch DCT? Many people in Teambhp and some other forums say that the DQ200 is a dry type DCT. But you say that VW bought a wet clutch DCT in the Polo post 2016. Please tell me whether the DQ200 is wet type DCT or Dry type DCT? I am totally confused.

Tell me which to buy altroz xm+ , Kiger rxt , magnite xl comfort , space , big car , road presence

Can you please refer to the source of information while making this video? Not being critical here, I'm planning 1.5 MT Kushaq hence a little concerned and wana be double sure before putting my money on what seems like a fantastic engine - at least on paper

Badhiya 🔥

Hey, I randomly inquired from a few Europeans who had posted the 1.5 ACT engine videos & they said ACT has been there for quite a while & didn't give any problems. However, i tend to stay away from cars having tightly packed engine bays because of poor heat dissipation & complexity (Creta diesel etc.) Even for a Polo, i find there's too much complexity in the engine bay (especially battery wiring). Now I'm a person who takes extreme care of their vehicles and hence have chosen Toyota & other Japanese vehicles over the years. I'm not here to debate but as a car buyer I'm having very limited options coming down to Kia Seltos turbo petrol or Slavia 1.5 TSI. Somehow I'm not convinced with Kia/Hyundai turbocharged engines & they're not pioneers of performance engines. Your views on ACT might be true but considering the fact that it'll operate very less times, doesn't it translate to negligible long term wear & tear of the engine which is something that can be overlooked since all engines start to loose performance over the years? What i found out is that this 1.5 TSI is an iteration of the old 1.4 TSI which has been there for a lot of time & had same ACT. So this is something new for India but it's not otherwise a newly developed product. Generally, European cars are known to have higher maintenance but let's not forget they come loaded with very advanced tech (esp luxury segment) which distinguishes them from Honda or Suzuki. So the way I've seen it is that French cars have the worst reliability (debatable i know!) followed by Italian, Czech (Skoda but essentially a VW) & then German (most reliable). Seeing this 1.5 TSI engine widely used in almost all VW group cars Audi/Scala/Octavia/Fabia/Superb/Seat/T-Roc/Passat/Virtus/Slavia/Kushaq/Tiguan/Taigun & many others hints me that it is developed for large scale & not just one car model/brand & instills a sense of faith in me. VW itself claims this engine to be the key pillar of their brand & the best selling one in their whole line up. So, basically if the reliability issues were quite a thing in these we would see them covered widely just how we see with every other car brand every now & then. If A320's Pratt and Whitney engines have been in the limelight for their defects then this 1.5 ACT is something that can't remain hidden but yet there's hardly any bad reports of them despite being in production over a decade & now we have the most refined tune of them. I would still like to see how these engines perform in India because they were developed for use in Europe where these engines operate at way cooler temperatures than what we have in India (hence the weak AC). Their road conditions are different than ours (Autobahns, mostly highways & less congested roads) which stress engines less. Given proper maintenance & care this 1.5 TSI engine can last really long without any problems.

"That has to be done on your own risk" pretty much tells me everything I need to know about this video.

Nice mixtape 🔥

no offence, but tell me, did the engineers at VW did not evaluate the points you mentioned?

Your video is op

i own a manual 1.5 and i came across this video searching how to activate eco mode (2 cylinder cut off) since i get only 7-9 kmpl in city😂

VW might have already thought of this and designed accordingly or using purging system. Need to go little deep in this technology

Which one I should buy kiger magnite or altroz

You are assuming this as if those 2 deactivated cylinders are never used at all. You should remember that 2 cylinder mode activates only when power is not needed like in highways. what I'm saying is this mode is not on always. I would like to know from where you've got your information.. or maybe you should try this on a used Skoda and see whether this is true 😂.

😍👍👍👍

I wish you could've provided more technical details. It seems like you're just telling out of your interpretation and not based on actual working design of the engine. I'd love to know more details and justification of your thoughts. It's good to have different views and thoughts. Afterall VW is in for a business, they want to sell their product, what more would sell something that fails eventually, keeping customers happy.

Wow . You are better than any German engineer .

First view

There is a button in dashboard to deactivate this feature you need to use it every time you start the engine 😉

The same thing VW said about DSG gearboxes. Fuel efficiency, high tech, fun to drive, fuel-efficient, etc. And what it turned out to be is a wide known fact. Excellent video.

Carmaster, VW could have deactivated the pistons and valves and not just the cylinder if they really had to give the ACT tech. I will definitely agree you for this. Those so called paid vloggers aren't covering the mechanical aspects at all instead they just say features, performance and something bullshit. You are the one who always says the truth about car's mechanical reliability. VW has done a silly mistake by not giving and option to deactivate 2 pistons and 2 valves along the 2 cylinders. Shocked to see them doing such a big mistake. But as you said, once the ACT is deactivated, the 1.5 will be extremely reliable and will definitely last 200K KMS.

So true. Cylinder deactivation is more of a bane than a boon. 👌👌👌👌

xuv 700 may I come in ? kushaq and taigun 😂

Op in the chat botle

Motoroctane is fake

😂😂😂😂😂 kya knowledge hai bhai ise VW skoda ka head banado

Bhai aap itna gyan jo pel rahe ho, do you think VW engineers not thought of all this .. also we don’t know about your qualifications / subject matter expertise on this subject, how can one trust on your comments. Kindly do your home work well before making this type of video. Also you talked about 8 to 15 years, I am not sure you will be continuing with your this channel or not . Kindly stopped this type of comments. Thanks.
