Yes! If the hill is too steep or too long prefer to put the car in manual mode and drive it... The dct will keep on changing gears which will ruin the small moving parts By keeping car in one gear or the gear you think is perfect, will help the car in log run
@@prakashparadisee What is confusing me, specially if I were to be a buyer, is why would so many companies come out with DCT in India where cars are mostly used in city traffic and not that much on highways.
DCT is winning hearts due to its smoothness and responsiveness! Generally people buy car for 5-7 years and then change to a new one! Dct is great if maintained properly! But only in small vehicles What i have realised is that - dct is not good for any engine above 1.0 liter engine as the small parts are put to lot of stress!
Its always think to have Automatic Torque converter will be happy low maintenance reliable. I did lot of research and found Maruti brezza vxi AT in budget 13.6 lk only but having less features and fit and finish that any Hyundai cars but its tension free in long run. 25000km no problem counter
As per by information the Tata altroz DCT which has been launched by the company has wet clutch and this is the real deal breaker. The wet clutch system makes the whole driving experience very very silent and smooth. If is system has been newly made by the company then it's a problem because then we are like a testers on road however if the system has been borrowed by some already existing company then it is an easy yes for me. I hope you understand what I am trying to say
@@prakashparadisee not driving too much and can u say that companies like Kia have solved dct issues. I ve heard they solved the issues but not sure about it.
What I have heard is that- they have just made the sensors not to prompt when the heating is happening! Little heating is not too bad for the car DCT is a complicated engine and thus there are limitations! But they are fun and ultra smooth to drive
@@prakashparadisee so do u recommend turbo dct than diesel AT or no. Not daily driving. And present in kia seltos gt line car 1.5 turbo dct has power 160 ps with 5500 rpm and 1.5 diesel AT has power 116 with 4000 rpm with nearly same displacement and torque in both.
@@prakashparadisee so can u plsss say how much the difference in power n torque in Turbo dct and diesel AT effect real life driving. So your ans will be useful to decide which varaint to choose.
My sister was using the car on hills ! She never faced issue of heating / lag or things like that! On technical climbs it's better to put in manual mode. Other than that it's all good! Just a 20-25 sec of engine idle after a cold start is needed
Hi prakash, my new vehicle is mg astor 1.5 cvt I have one doubt ,so please reply me my vehicle is not giving mileage it's giving on highway 12, sometimes 9 and local is 8.5or 8
Definitely i will reply you! Can you tell me - at what speed you are driving on Highway? Also i would like to know did you check the mileage on the display in front or through tank to tank?
I belongs to the hills area of uttarakhand. I own nexon AMT. after driven it almost 1.5 years, I have got many problems in the cars, lot of them are manufacturing defect. AMT gear get confused some times. I am planning to sell it. I am looking for an automatic mini SUV for my location. I occasionally visit to plane area like Dehradun, gurugram. I generally drives in twisty roads 60% of the time and 40% on plane roads. What would be the best choice, iMT, DCT, CVT, Torque converter?
I would love to answer this - If 60% of the time you are going to be driving the car on hills and twisty roads what I can analyse is that you require a car with good acceleration so that if in case you need to overtake there shouldn't be any problem. The second thing is that you are looking for an automatic mini SUV and that is something we have to consider as a fixed choice. If you are going to drive your car on hills I I also assume that you are hoping to get a better mileage on those roads. If you personally ask me I would suggest you to go for a DCT as there are few benefits of DCT over the others. DCT gives great mileage. DCT has that acceleration which you may require during a a overtake. DCT is super smooth and if driven properly never fails. If you ultimately plan to go for a DCT please have a look at the video of mine in which I have discussed ways to keep your di City safe for a long period of time. I don't recommend a CVT engine for you because CVT can give you to a harder time on hills. If once in a while you would have been visiting hills CVT would have been ok but you will visit the hills frequently so CVT might irritate you. I hope I was able to give a satisfactory
@@prakashparadisee tnku so much prakash for describing answer. I have driven the DCT auto.. but scared for maintenance of the gearbox if the breakdown situation comes. And whats wrong with Torque converter in the hills? And I have seen all your videos about venue dct
What I can say about the reliability thing is that there are so many cars with dual clutch transmission on the roads of Indian market had there been a major issue the cards would have definitely been in news. Talking about the torque converter I would say a it is a very good engine but mileage is something that you don't get from those cars on hills specially! There is no question on reliability
Very helpful video ! I am also planning to buy Venue N Line DCT Petrol but I don't understand why the boot space is just 311 litres while boot space is 350 litres in Venue SX (O) DCT ?
Thank you so much!!!! Venue DCT is one of the smoothest car in its price range! And it's reliable too! We have one venue DCT in family which has covered 20000kms Everything is awesome about this car!! I have made two videos on it! One showing highway mileage Second showing the hill mileage! You might find it useful! Talking about the boot space - honestly i am not aware about it but i am surely going to find it and let you know!
Thanks for the tips. Those are indeed useful. Can you please share the cost (parts+labour) of changing the following components: (a) clutch plate set (both odd and even), (b) clutch actuators and (c) mechatronic unit. Thanks.
For DCT, in crawling traffic if we put the gear in "M" and then in 1st Gear and let the car crawl, and as the traffic is released we shift it back to "D" and let the gear shifts happen automatically. So is this a healthy way? Please recommend.
This practice is good if you are driving on the hills but on a plane Road I would recommend you to keep it on d mode and let the car decide what to do! The system has been tried and tested for many years and it won't create any kind of problem for you!
@Scientific Videos Because in M mode Car won't upshift and downshift continuously basically limiting the stress on clutch. Even I think this is the good practice.
@prakashparadise thanks for reply, is it worth buying 1.O turbo dct over manual 1.2 ? DCT k long term owner reviews nahi hai so difficult to understand
@jiteshsadawarte5243 your welcome and thanks for appreciation! I do good study before making videos so that Viewers atleast get some good information if not Entertainment 😀🤭
Nahi nahi! This is my sister's car! Actually i am not in my city! That's why Astor vidoes nahi aa rahe! Jaise hi ghar wapas jaunga ..Astor vidoes will start!!
DCT is a very complex transmission with lot of small parts to achieve the super smooth gear change and acceleration in an automatic car! In general while using the same you need to understand few things - for eg pressing the brakes completely in traffic so that it disengages the gear system while you are sitting idle Secondly avoiding sudden acceleration and braking all the time! It should not be done frequently! Other than that we have a venue DCT from about 2 years and has completed 20000kms . Till now no problem and i am confident that there wouldn't be any issue in future as well! All you need is to take care of your vehicle
Bhai, Mumbai mein DSG (Skoda Slavia) kesa rahega? (assume thode kharaab roads and decent traffic) I really want to buy a DSG but I also don't want to live like an old person ki gaadi crawl crawl karne ke baad heat up hone ki wajah se gaadi rokni padd jaaye... Itni heat ho sakti hai kya gaadi ki rokni padd jaaye beech raaste for a few minutes?
Bhai! now a days this issue of heating so much that you have to actually stop the car doesn't arise ! There is just one concern and that is the ground clearance! I hope the area you live in and the places you will visit are not having roads so bad ki car neeche se touch kar jaaye! There is one more suggestion i would give if you are 100% going for Skoda - take the extended warranty as much as it's available! Just in case issue arises you will be secured!
@@prakashparadisee Thanks, Prakash... Ground clearance will not be an issue, I have driven Ertiga achcha khaasa and never had an issue of ground clearance. And Slavia ka ground clearance is more than Ertiga, so should be fine. Day by day roads slowly slowly better ho hi rahe hain, so should be fine. DSG hi leta hun fir! And sure, extended warranty toh lunga hi pakka, but my POV is gaadi aisi honi chahiye ki zarurat hi na pade use karne ki warranty wagera, time waste and magajmaari chahiye hi nahi... So hopefully DSG will not heat up a lot like you said... Thanks.
Yes the DSG won't heat up but as what we have seen in the past DSG does get problematic at times! So for that we should have an extended warranty! Also i hope you are not planning to keep the car for a "long" time 8-10 years because in such a case you may expect some issues to arrise Secondly if you plan to keep the car for long time - Honda is for you! It might be boring but it won't disappoint you in terms of engine reliability! If you frankly ask me unless you have good money or you are getting a good discount (i will always be scared to buy Skoda) The German handling and performance is a hype to compensate the less reliable engine! I am not against Skoda but i would still prefer to speak my heart out based on owners reviews 🙂
Please help me out.... I'm new driver, monthly drive not more than 200 km, long drive 1000 km three times in year, occasional need hill driving Should I go with kiger AMT vs Altroz vs baleno
Even for 10 secs put it on neutral if it is a dry clutch.. don't keep it in D ..and wait for 10 secs..this will heat the clutch... this is for indian conditions... though DCT is smart but not smarter than indian conditions... this is only for dry clutch DCT's. More over Hyundai' DCT's are reversed engineered so be more careful. They tend to heat up very fast.
This is actually not true. When you apply the brakes fully, the clutch is disengaged. So that would not affect the transmission. What you have to make sure of is that you do not press the brake to the halfway point. This results in clutch slipping, which results in increasing the temperature and that ultimately results in increased wear and tear.
Hey prakash , I am confused between kia carens manual 1.5 petrol and kia carens 1.4 turbo petrol 7dct , our usage is very less , I am confused because many people have commented that dct transmission is very difficult to maintain, and we have to take a lot of care on driving style , kindly advice and let me know please
Well that's true! Actually i personally don't recommend dct for larger cc vehicles! Heating issues will be there in such vehicle also if dct is not maintained properly it can become a costly affair! When you drive the 1.5 Petrol you will feel it's slow if there are 5+ occupants in the car! 1.4 turbo feels fast and nimble- you can buy it if you can maintain it properly! Since you already told your usage is less i can't recommend a diesel else Kia carens diesel is the best!
Hi can u keep DCT on D mode and put hand break in trafic if not want go ahed again we release hand break and use acceleration. Pleast let me know on same
In traffic you need to press the Brake pedal firmly while in D mode. Even if u engage handbrake in D ( Which you shouldn't if you are not pressing Brake Pedal), you still need keep the Brake pedal firmly pressed. Unless u shift it to N, then you can use handbrake and let go of the brake pedal. But by shifting to N you loose all opportunity of quick reaction to move your car if there is any emergency situation and need to react fast.
I own Sonet DCT and have a doubt. If we are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, should we shift to manual gear shifting so that it does not keep on engaging lower and upper gear automatically or It will not make any difference. Little confused about this.
Sure - i would reply to this! When the car is in manual mode then you have better control over the engine of the vehicle in bumper to bumper traffic! In Auto mode there is a pause everytime you push the accelerator! When the car is in D mode then the car disengages itself as soon as there is a halt! And then as soon as you release the brake, the car engages itself ! Engaging and disengage process is bad for the transmission! That's why the company recommend that in traffic let there be some space and don't let the car crawl too much ! If the car is in a slow moving traffic - practically it's better to drive in Manual mode! I hope i was able to reply to you 🙂
@@prakashparadisee yes correctly said. Apart from the intermittent halts, my doubt is also around every time we are on gear 1 or 2, the next gear 3 and previous gear 1 is always engaged in DCT. I wanted to confirm if a DCT is in manual mode is the next and previous gear still engage in that case or not.
@@ridamjain94 i understand what you are asking- no in manual mode the car will not pre engage the gears!! Only when you rev it to the max limit , it will change the gear on its own (in order to protect your engine)😄
Please make a similar video on the torque converter transmission which is present on the Astor turbo. How to extract more mileage, what habits to make to keep it more reliable etc
Thank you! There must be vidoes on this but few points that i have covered are no where shown and has been observed only by driving the car for long time 😀
Venue diesel can give you a mileage which is approximately 22 23 and that is a very very good mileage. If your daily driving is 50-60kms Or monthly driving is 2500kms You should go for diesel If you are like me who drives hardly 15-20kms Petrol should be your preference! Feel free to counter me!
Thanks for replying. I will hardly drive 10 km per day. But I am confused in between manual and dct because I am hearing so much about heating issues and all.
There is no such issue that should concern you! It's similar to the issue of placing your feet on the clutch and in the end destroying your clutch system which would cost you money! Similarly DCT has to be dealt with precaution and it is good to go product!
Did my extensive research and i would like to repeat - a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) automatically disengages both clutches when you come to a stop. This means that you don't need to put your car in neutral when you stop.
Bhai usme agar chalane wala clutch daba kar car chala Diya na ! Kasam 10-15 hazar ka kharacha aa jayega 🤭 Dono acche hain ! Ek mein comfort hai aur dusare mein car k upar superior control 😍😍😍
Even when you press the brakes on a halt the clutch disengages! I have personally checked it! It doesn't happen in normal automatic cars but in DCT it does
Arey nahi Bhai Aisa nahi hai! Jaise manual mein batana padta hai na ki poore time clutch par pair na rakho aur 2000 rpm hone se pahale gear change kar lo Ussi tarike se CVT k apne tarike hai chalane k Follow karne se bas life badh jayegi aur kuch nahi! Main khud 7 saal se ek AT chala raha hoon! Bahut sahi car hai 😉😃😃
The penultimate recommendation is quite advantageous. I express my gratitude for it.
thank you for your appreciation!! means a lot to me
Very useful tips no one has mentioned particularly drives on the hills
So nice of you
thank you!!
Is it advisable to switch to manual mode and slot into 1st gear and crawl in traffic with a DCT ?
Another reason Why I love Manual Transmission
Hello , Hyundai Ioniq here , does anyone say in English the tips for hills?
Yes!
If the hill is too steep or too long prefer to put the car in manual mode and drive it...
The dct will keep on changing gears which will ruin the small moving parts
By keeping car in one gear or the gear you think is perfect, will help the car in log run

I own Sonet DCT and have a doubt. If we are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, should we shift to manual gear shifting so that it does not keep on engaging lower and upper gear automatically or It will not make any difference. Little confused about this.
Sure - i would reply to this!
When the car is in manual mode then you have better control over the engine of the vehicle in bumper to bumper traffic!
In Auto mode there is a pause everytime you push the accelerator!
When the car is in D mode then the car disengages itself as soon as there is a halt! And then as soon as you release the brake, the car engages itself !
Engaging and disengage process is bad for the transmission! That's why the company recommend that in traffic let there be some space and don't let the car crawl too much !
If the car is in a slow moving traffic - practically it's better to drive in Manual mode!
I hope i was able to reply to you 🙂
@@prakashparadisee yes correctly said. Apart from the intermittent halts, my doubt is also around every time we are on gear 1 or 2, the next gear 3 and previous gear 1 is always engaged in DCT. I wanted to confirm if a DCT is in manual mode is the next and previous gear still engage in that case or not.
@@ridamjain94 i understand what you are asking- no in manual mode the car will not pre engage the gears!!
Only when you rev it to the max limit , it will change the gear on its own (in order to protect your engine)😄

@@prakashparadisee sure. Thanks
Please make a similar video on the torque converter transmission which is present on the Astor turbo. How to extract more mileage, what habits to make to keep it more reliable etc
Similar video will be out in 2 days 😄
Great information. keep it up
Kia and Hyundai also have similar video on this topic 👍
Thank you!
There must be vidoes on this but few points that i have covered are no where shown and has been observed only by driving the car for long time 😀
@@prakashparadisee That's what makes this video so helpful and relatable.
Thanks bro !
I am so happy to see your comment bro!
Your appreciation shows that you are an awesome soul! Thanks once again
Amazing video but can you make similar video on CVT as MG Astor and torque converter ?
Yes brother!
Next two videos will be on this!
First - Turbo
Second - CVT
@@prakashparadisee yep thanks
How DCA of altroz better than DCT of others
DCA clutch is completely dipped in oil which makes it very silent and smooth
DCT Is dry clutch so it's little less smooth than the latter
@@prakashparadisee maintenance of DCA is difulct task than other AT is it true???
Sir offrodaing ka eak video bano na please.
Venue ka?
Nahi sir mg astor
Mera dct mea aya issue bro warranty hai
It will be fixed bro!! If there is any issue connect me
Informative! Try to create videos in English
Sure brother!!
Thanks for appreciation
In between venue sx diesel and venue dct ...which would you recommend?
Venue diesel can give you a mileage which is approximately 22 23 and that is a very very good mileage.
If your daily driving is 50-60kms
Or monthly driving is 2500kms
You should go for diesel
If you are like me who drives hardly 15-20kms
Petrol should be your preference!
Feel free to counter me!
Thanks for replying. I will hardly drive 10 km per day. But I am confused in between manual and dct because I am hearing so much about heating issues and all.
There is no such issue that should concern you!
It's similar to the issue of placing your feet on the clutch and in the end destroying your clutch system which would cost you money!
Similarly DCT has to be dealt with precaution and it is good to go product!
Bro video for how to set wallpaper on Astor
Bhai car is not with me right now ! I am out of town ! When i reach back then only I will be able to make it 🥺
@@prakashparadisee no problem bro ☺️
Great Video Prakash, please make a similar Video for Torque converter .
Surely next video in 2 days will be on the Turbo 😀😄
👍🏼
Thanks bhai!
Is this also applicable to CVT transmission?
No it's for DCT i have decided to make seperate video for Turbo and CVT .
imt gearbox with DCT than better
Imt is good too! However if you buy a DCT and drive in manual mode you will get both benefits!
Fun of automatic and good power transfer of Manual
DCT needs to be moved to Neutral and not Drive mode. Get your facts checked
Did my extensive research and i would like to repeat - a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) automatically disengages both clutches when you come to a stop. This means that you don't need to put your car in neutral when you stop.
Manual hi achha h🤪
Bhai usme agar chalane wala clutch daba kar car chala Diya na ! Kasam 10-15 hazar ka kharacha aa jayega 🤭
Dono acche hain !
Ek mein comfort hai aur dusare mein car k upar superior control 😍😍😍
@@prakashparadisee haha bhai ap hazir Jababi ho🤣🤣 ek dum sateek reply...
Bhai astor bahut sahi lagi mjhe🤩 pyar hogya car se...
Bhai 🤭🤭🤭
Mujhe khud Astor bahut pasand hai ! 15-20 din ho gaye car se nahi mila hoon 😭
Ab March mein hi mil payenge!
@@prakashparadisee Asa kyuuuu
Bhai not in my city! That's why!
Idhar i20 apni and Venue didi ki hai! So kaam chal jaata haj
you contradict your own video on DCT over heating
Specifically where?
Wrong
If you put your dct transmission in neutral you clutch is safe and not in friction continuously
And it enhances the life of DCT
Even when you press the brakes on a halt the clutch disengages!
I have personally checked it!
It doesn't happen in normal automatic cars but in DCT it does
Sabse acha hai normal manual transmission khareedein,yeh sab chochle baaji hai ameero ki
Arey nahi Bhai Aisa nahi hai!
Jaise manual mein batana padta hai na ki poore time clutch par pair na rakho aur 2000 rpm hone se pahale gear change kar lo
Ussi tarike se CVT k apne tarike hai chalane k
Follow karne se bas life badh jayegi aur kuch nahi!
Main khud 7 saal se ek AT chala raha hoon!
Bahut sahi car hai 😉😃😃
