You talk about topics which other auto journalists seldom talk about. This is what defines your work. Great going sirji!

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 🙏...

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.

👌 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

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 YouTube's don't talk these issues. You are simply great and also I want to share my experience to you about my car.

[swaminathanr]

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!

[realtimequickie]

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 👍

[bhaskarkayarat]

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!!

[geekay]

you are a man of great deep rooted knowledge of car industry, very useful for car buyers, keep it up, God bless you

[ankur]

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.. !

[sriraghav]

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.

[mayankkukreja]

The carbon deposit issue is real in GDI engines. People only talk about power and not maintanence costs. Your knowledge and awareness is commendable. You definitely earned a subscriber.

[mohitsingh]

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

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!

[praveenpgec]

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...

[rahulniranjan]

Bhaisab gyanvardhak baatein bata dete ho aap. Mene nexon li h last month.. 1000 times thanx for the tips. Jai ho guru ji.

[bbsingh]

There is no replacement, for displacement. That's why most exotic supercars are naturally aspirated.

[arnovsarkar]

Both of my cars having Naturally Aspirated 4 Cylinder IVtec Petrol Engines of Honda and I am happy with it. Reliable and silent!!

[sartajcheema]

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 👍🎖️🥂

[TheAmrish]

I think normal petrol cars are without any problem. As compared to GDI and Turbo.
Your information is valuable as always.👍👍👍👍
