My Grey Linea 1.3 MJD

Mate,

They have tightened some screws I believe as the squeak is now gone. I usually stand by the car at the service center, however in that instance I had to leave it the entire day (24hrs) for interior cleaning as well, so I too am not sure what exactly was done.

Cheers,
Pradeep.

General Update

The car has crossed 25,000 KM and I can definitely confirm that from that last 2-3k km the engine has become extremely smooth and the already silent MJD has further calmed down. You can literally feel the smoothness of the engine after the optimum temperature is achieved, the refinement is very evident both inside and outside the cabin. The car does make me happy with every drive.

Picture of the Odo taken this morning.



My Linea went to AV Motors last weekend (10 Sep 2016) for the regular wheel alignment and rotation (5000km interval). I was at AV by 915 AM and as usual all the staff was in their daily huddle meet. In the next 10 min an SA walked to me and started preparing the job card.

List of things added to the job card from my side

1) Wheel Alignment and rotation.
2) ECU Update. (Later it was found out that my car already has the latest version and doesn't need any further update)
3) The number plate on the front had a loose rivet and was slightly dangling.
4) Horn - As reported in a few posts earlier the one of the horn doesn't sound in rains.

Things proactively fixed by AV motors

1) Rear left door handle which was slightly loose (I did not even notice this)
2) One of the tyre had a faulty valve pin (this was identified by the technician during wheel rotation and the pin was replaced)

Total Amount paid : Rs 550/- (WA and rotation)

The car was pulled into the drive way and a through under body check was done, I was there to ensure that everything was fine. Thanks to the heavy metal full engine guard, some nasty hits on the pot hole ridden roads of the city were all absorbed and no damage to any vital engine parts.



General checks in progress.



Door handle getting fixed.





Number plate being fixed properly.



Wheel Alignment in progress.



Horn being tested.



It was confirmed after some testing that one of the horn was not working as expected and the faulty one was replaced without any hassel. Incase anyone wants to know what horn we have in our cars, its Hella.

The car was all ready by 1 PM. AV Motors had their Ganesh Visarjan that evening and they have organized lunch for all staff at the service center. I too was requested to join and I was more than happy to spend some time with the staff for Lunch. The food was delicious .

A little after 2 PM I departed from the service center and yet again they have delivered a very good experience for me. They did take time and address the smaller issues as like the number plate, door handle and the valve pin. Delighted .

That's the number they have under standard test conditions.
