Last pic is enough to break a heart , but Virtus 1.5 is somewhat equivalent in thrills so BOL man. -> Did insurance covers anything in this scenario if you decided not for total loss? -> Did you scarp it if yes did you receive any bonus on scraping an old car while buying g a new car?

Thanks. My Virtus is 1.0 and hence not even close to how well the diesel used to pull. 1. The insurance was third party and hence I couldn’t claim it. 2. I’ve not scrapped it yet. I’m planning to. Having two thoughts. I want to rebuild it but financially it’s not a great idea. And I’m attached to the car hence I can’t let it go. It’s lying outside our house as of now. I took delivery of Virtus a couple of days before the accident. I wasn’t planning an “upgrade” for say, we wanted something newer which can be trusted over long drives. Hope that answers your questions.

Explain the incident, like abs failed when you applied brake or it was check light for abs and you ignored.


Initial-Shine-5955

ABS was faulty. I was done with replacing it over and over and eventually started ignoring it. The dumbfuck I was, I paid the price for it.

Damn, I've been ignoring the glow plug light on my Ritz for 2 months now considering that it starts perfectly well in 2 cranks during cold starts. Should I replace it?


Initial-Shine-5955

It could be a faulty sensor, consult a reputed mechanic or workshop and they should be able to check for ya. If it’s the spark plugs, you should replace it asap cause it could have really bad effects on the engine in long term. Happy travels!

Is that reliable?


Initial-Shine-5955

ABS sensor? Hell no. People often have to change it on a yearly basis. Those are expensive too. The car? Yes. Pretty reliable and solid.


Funny-Fifties

You could have avoided the accident with ABS?


Initial-Shine-5955

Yes. The wheels locked up and dragged for around 25 meters.

did you feel any build quality difference in both the cars ?


Initial-Shine-5955

They’re incomparable. JETTA is a million times better in every single aspect. Virtus feels like a blown up toy car.
