But I have made a longer trip in the same car and did not face any problems, except for strange noises at speeds above 120 kph (as per the speedo).
Again this year the weather is strange in the sense that chennai is facing a scorching 41 ~ 43 degree C continually and the humidity which is usually above 65% is around 40 %. That is why I suspect overheating (and ECU acting up due to the same)to be the primary cause. Yet to take the car to a service station.
@Zappo : What is the solution to this. Looking back, yes i made an almost non stop 6 hr trip with 4 fully grown adults in this car. But my speed was restricted to < 80 kmph most of the time, as the GST road was fully crowded with buses on account of karunanidhi's 50th year in the legistlative assembly blah.. blah... The temperature guage needle was in the middle all the times, which does indicate a normal position.
