My German Girlfriend : Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDI Shadow Blue Highline

[eXperience]

Good to hear that your car is back. Was your insurance with 0% depreciation?

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, it was insured with 0% depreciation.

Polo has completed 4700 kms till now. Everything's good.

Bought Polo Door sills for 500 INR, got them yesterday. Looking great on my girlfriend.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, it was insured with 0% depreciation.

If you had 0% dep insurance cover, how did you have to pay Rs:2940? Shouldn't it be just Rs: 1000 (the claim charge)? Just curious to know.

First accident (small one) @ 5899 km.
Hit an auto, who surprisingly stopped in the middle of the road because of overweight. Got a little dent on the bonnet. :'(

Picture of the dent. Local garage guy quoted me 1500/- for removing the dent and painting. I already purchased the paint online and will be getting the dent fixed for 500.

I guess you have missed out the picture. Good to know that you got it fixed for just 500 bucks!
Can you share from where you purchased it?

Ohh! Sorry to see that mate. So did you get the dry denting done. And did you receive the paint? Do click a few pics when you do the paint-job from the autopaint pen you've ordered. That will surely guide us all also, if and when the requirement comes for something like this.

I bought that pen few days back. Will receive in prob. 20 days. I didn't go to the local shop yet. No time :S

Congrats eXperience on completing 7k. Good to know the car looks like all new even now. I guess you must have got that front bonnet dent repaired and done the painting part, please do upload a few pics of the same for us to see how the outcome is of these auto-paint pens.

No time to get the dent fixed. It's not that much visible and after I applied the color coat, it looks good.

UPDATE :
Completed 8250 kms. Planning a small trip, lets see if it works out. (y)

@Experience, Glad to note that you have completed 8000+ km with your "German girlfriend". So it is the time for you to write a short review of your experience with it

 

[eXperience]

Completed 10,000 kms.

Had to buy 2 new tyres because of the rubber cut from the side (Heavy rain in Visakhapatnam, almost 1 week continuously)

Total cost for 2 new apollo tyres : 8000 + 300 for alignment and balancing.

 

[eXperience]

Completed 12,500 kms.

No big hassle. Some rattling noise is audible from left door when driving without music on.

You're crunching many a miles in your Polo eXperience. Hope you crunch many many more safe ones with it in the future too.

Regarding the door rattling issue, is it prevalent all the time or just when you're passing on some rough roads? Do get it checked in your free time at the VW workshop.
