That is my concern..the car does not act normal. What happens in my car is the other way round..when the clutch is engaged the RPM is normal (or high if revved) but when i disengage the clutch to move the car RPM falls back to almost idle..and this is very evident when the car heats up

I used to drive a palio D prior to marina..there is absolutely no comparison to a petrol car..i just used to disengage the clutch to move the palio, no acceleration required

1. TD some other Indigo / Marina diesel and see how it behaves.

Please update us once you find the source of this problem.
Thats what I finally plan to do..drive another indigo/marina. Will take it to the auth service center tomorrow as you say..lets hope those chaps could help me.

Will keep you updated
