hello guys, i took delivery of scorpio crde and its not even a week old. i am feeding her with high speed diesel. yesterday for the first time i took her out on a empty piece of road (east coast road in chennai), since run-in period is not over, i was trying to accelerate smoothly and after reaching a speed of around 60kmph or so i heard a strange noise over and above the music... so i switched off the music system and concentrated on the engine note, i felt the acceleration was not smooth and linear and she was struggling a bit, i tried to decelerate and accelerate twice or thrice, but again i had the same noise... then after sometime it disappeared, today morning i again took her to 80 to 90 kmph, but now the engine note seems to be fine. i spoke to the sales guy last night and he said it could be due to either (a) due to adulterated fuel or (b) block in the pump.. he advised me the keep the engine in idle and rev it slowly to take the rpm to 3k to see any difference in noise, but dint find any... i was told other owners have also faced similar problems and the guy attributed it to air block in the pump because of running it with very little fuel by the dealers.
but after reading thru the posts about problem with crde in innova and also a mention about hyundai crdi.. i am a bit worried.
