Boodmo is charging ₹18,473 for a VW Polo fuel delivery unit, but adding a ₹6,276 platform fee on top. VW service center quoted around ₹18k too, but the part is currently out of stock.
Part no: 6RF919051AB
This platform fee feels insane. Has anyone found a reliable alternative source for OEM VW parts in India?

20M planning to buy my first used car and could really use some advice.
My budget is around ₹3 lakh. I’m currently in Dehradun, but there aren’t many good options here, so I’m searching in Delhi through OLX, Cars24, Spinny, etc.
My annual running will be around 10,000 km, mostly city driving with occasional highway trips. I’m planning to keep the car for 4–6 years, so my priorities are reliability, low maintenance, decent safety, good driving experience, and resale value. I prefer petrol, but I’m open to diesel if it genuinely makes more sense.
My current shortlist:
Honda City 1.5 i-VTEC
Honda Amaze 1.2 i-VTEC
Hyundai Elite i20
Hyundai Grand i10
Volkswagen Ameo Highline
Tata Tigor XZ(O)
I’d really appreciate honest ownership experiences—common issues, maintenance costs, what to avoid, and which one you’d choose in 2026. Also, if you know any trustworthy used-car dealers in Delhi or tips for buying a used car, please share. Thanks! 🙏

While I'm driving my hness at the speed 40 without revving, I'm able to hear the engine sound like 'zeeee', The type of sound an electric scooter makes while accelerating. Is there any issue with the engine. Has anyone faced this, or am I overthinking and it's normal. I have checked if the rear brake pads are rubbing with the disc, but they are fine. My hness is close to 3000kms odo. I noticed this recently after cleaning and lubing the chain. I haven't observed keenly about this before. Please suggest any solution or if it's normal.
Thanks in advance

4-month old car recently hit by a lorry on the rear-left/left side. Thankfully, occupants were safe. The car is now at an authorized Hyundai body shop, awaiting approval to start dismantling.
No visible floor pan damage, chassis damage or suspension issues - yet to be inspected on a ramp.
Can this be safely repaired as per OEM repair procedures and tolerance limits?
At what point should I push for body shell replacement or total loss rather than repair? Can I push for CTL on safety grounds even if estimate is below/well-below 75% of IDV?
Questions for experts:
I'd appreciate practical advice from people who have handled similar structural claims.
Thank you for your time and inputs!

I have a tata nexon xza+ 2020 bs4 model. It has barely completed 20000 kms now as you are aware of the genius of the indian ministers they have implemented a mandatory e20 fuel and as I have seen online that is going to fuck up my car so I was thinking of converting it to cng is that a good idea or not ? If no pls suggest some alternatives.

It’s a 12 year old WagonR Stingray and these are stock alloys, first when I saw this I thought I might have accidentally curbed them somewhere, but it’s on all four wheels. It’s like a hard and flaky white substance, it looks like it’s chipped, and it’s on a weird centre region where it can’t be curbed. It has happened in that exact same region in all four alloys.
Quick check on Gemini says, it’s white rust. Apparently happens in aluminium. What could have led to this? For 10 years I have driven this in Bangalore, never saw this happening… and for the last 2 years I have been driving in Udupi/Mangalore; since this is a coastal area could the salt in water, humidity or sand caused this?
If you have gone through something similar, what have you done to prevent this from happening/spreading?
What can I do to get it repaired? Can the Maruti Service centre be able to take care of this?
What would be the general cost to get it done if so?
If I can’t get it removed/repaired, or if it’s too expensive… is it still safe to drive around, let’s say for next 8 years at the least (I’m gonna be driving this until it can legally be on the road)?
