congrats for your new car. are a you planning to fit rear view camera ? how is the rear view while backing ?
Not planning to install this but I should say that the rear view is really bad.

Great seat covers. Simple design yet elegant appearance. Nice knowing that Volkswagen is silently conducting car summer check-ups too. Do tell us how your experience was and whether it’s actually free of cost at the end of the day.

@naveen04in Belated congratulations for your vento. I am a polo owner. Your seat covers are good. I too got art leather beige colour from a aftermarket shop. As you are aware that extended warranty is now available for polo/vento and VW cochin was the first to advertise it. But mumbai dealer are not selling the same telling some technical reasons. Also the free summer check up camp also is not advertised in Mumbai by the dealers. Have you got extended warranty for your car? I contacted VW also but no response.

Yes, It's indeed a great move by VW. Also well supported by VW Cochin.

Yes, a good deal and well done. Although not good as the original leathers, this is doing a great job.
The summer check up went well. Things done

1) Water wash with wax and interior cleaning
2) AC checkup
3) Fluids top up

Free of cost [clap]

Your seat covers are looking nice Naveen and i think 4k is a good deal! Nice to see VW taking up some efforts to give a premium feel to their customers.


BTW can the windows be lowered with the remote in Vento? I remember seeing that feature in Polo , if yes how can it be done?

Thanks a lot CD. Yes, a good deal.
Yes, the windows can be lowered using the remote. If am correct, it can be lowered by pressing the lock and unlock buttons.
