Hi all,
i am a new member to this forum & i must say that it rocks!
i just got a new MPFi Alto LXi & most of my queries about the run-in have been answered in this forum..just a few more that remain:
1) how much time does it take for the engine to warm up after long breaks? i switch on the engine in the morning & wait for abt 1-2 mins before putting the car in motion. is that sufficient?
2) what is the right time to switch on the AC in a new car. The AC sucks up quite a bit of power in an Alto. i generally switch it on 5 mins after the car is in motion & generally on 2-3rd gear.
3) its been one week with the new car & abt 500 kms but i am getting a pathetic milage of ard 10-11 in the alto (50% AC on). i hope that;ll improve. i use extra premium/speed/power fuel. is this becoz of the run-in period? the car is used daily in high mumbai traffic so cant go above 60 kmph even if i want to. generally runs on 2-3 gear. meduim amt of leaning on clutch due to bumper to bumper trafffic.
4) the first service is at 1000 kms. will they change the oil? what kind of oil should i go for? |
