Since last month I am facing problem of check engine light. Initially it was coming intermittently but later (after two week) it started to continue glow. Also vehicle started giving starting trouble in morning. Initial acceleration was jerky and sometime car get stopped suddenly. Also it loses acceleration while driving and then I have to shift into lower gear. I went to B.u.bhandari in pune and gave my car for service. They told me its bcos of cam sensor and replaced it. Also they suggested me to took Bardhal engine treatment and somehow I got convinced to do it as my vehicle is around 36K+ Km. After receiving my car it was fine and next day I went to long trip. After 80-90 km run “check engine” light came and car was running fine till that time. But next day it started giving me same old pain. During return I halt at HP pump and filled 10l petrol as I always use IOC extra premium and it was not available. Car problem further increased and it was not going above 80+ for few minutes and I can feel the harshness. After returning pune again I went workshop and they told me that O2 sensor and ECU is probably faulty and replacing them will cost 20K+. I felt they are taking me for granted and not doing justice with job. After talking to works manager and advisor they told me same story and showed me some EMS software which produce all the result. When I asked for codes of ECU which tells the problematic area they said ECU is reset and it cant be given right now. When check engine light appears again they can show me.

Now, car is still giving me starting trouble, its very harsh and it jerks when I try to accelerate it in the morning after cranking it. After a while car goes fine but I can feel it is not so smooth in drive. Also I can hear lots squeaks in-around the car (probably seats or suspension). When I put key and reach to ignition some weired sound comes. The only benefit I have fuel efficiency which is around 12-13 km in city with AC.

Can anyone help me to understand these –

What are the problems related with O2 sensor ?
What are the problems related with ECU?
How much ECU and O2 replacement will cost me outside TASC ?
Can I use Indica vista/Xeta ECU in indigo petrol ?

:- Does anyone in Pune have taken petrol car around 2006 with extended warranty ?
