Just completed 30000 KM service yesterday. Had a few issues that needed to be taken care of:
- A/C blower not blowing the cold air (quantity and quality) the way it used to before
- Clutch starts engaging right from the max depressed position of the clutch pedal
- Steering wheels pulsates upon braking at high speeds probably from 100 KMPH - 60-70 KMPH
- High beam bulb fused
Apart from this regular service.
Some of the service requests I made (outside of the regular service(:
- 3M teflon coating - exterior
- 3M interior cleaning
- A/C flush
Car was delivered as promised. Got a bill of 9380/-. Of which around 4500 was for my service requests and rest was cost of taking care of issues and servicing that includes engine oil (just stayed with normal oil not synthetic) and other consumables and labour. Clutch bleeding was done to fix the clutch release issue and I definitely feel a difference, but my gut feeling is this may not last. I think, this will again resurface in another 2000-2500 KMs. I am also feeling a step kind of a thing when I depress the clutch fully sometimes and sometimes it is buttery smooth. Highbeam alignment is gone after the bulb change. I will have to get it fixed again.
I smell that clutch change is round the corner. What baffles me is my Maruti 800 did not require a clutch change when we sold it at around 60000 KMs. Our Froggie (Astar) is still going good with original clutch with over 50000 KMs on the odometer. Our i10 did 38000 KMs before we sold it but that may not be an apt comparison because it was automatic. Our blueyy is still at mileage infancy having done 7500 KM in 1.5 Years. My Inddie acting up with clutch at 30000 KMs - Hmm, never know. There is no reduction in traction or accleration I get, the turbo kick can still be felt, but the clutch pedal release seems to be the sore point. Problem is, in hydraulic clutch there is no concept of clutch play adjustment (as per SA) and that is where the issue is.. Will be driving Inddie to sullia this weekend, so the service effectiveness will come to the fore then.
