96500 KM Update I managed to get the 95000Km sevice done on last friday,
Following are the work done.
Engine Flush with STP flush oil.
Engine oil change(total 6 ltrs(4+2 for flush))
All filters changed(Fuel Filter, oil filter, air filter).
Radiator cleaned(it was completely jammed), when we collected the
coolant in jar for back refill, I saw lots of dirt settled under.
All breaks cleaned.
All belts checked and tightened, timing belt is ok for another 15k km,
but I would to take a second opinion somewhere else.
Inlet Manifold cleaned.
Lots of wiring done for fog lamps were replaced by good quality wire.
Coolant topped up and asked them to give one extra bottle of coolant.
Break oil topped up.
Other mechanical checked, like ball joint, bearings etc, nothing replaced.
All bolts tightened.
FICD installed, FINALLY, cost of FICD Kit 779 Rs, Labor 150 Rs
Dry Cleaning of all interiors.
All electricals checked.
For soot removal, they told me its done by removing glow plugs and
giving 1-2 cranks. I could see very minor soot coming out.
As result of all these, Car is now very smooth. Pick with AC on is now
very good due to FICD. Pickup without AC also is very good.
