FIAT , always......

Thats grt tip will follow that.

thanks again.

idling is not necessary. even manual states so. just keep revs to around 2k when you first start of in the day and let all the parts gradually warm up

Yeah but some people have the habit at the start of the day and while switching off. Just tell impatient folks your cooling the "turbo"

But logic behind idling seems to be reasonable. Agree that manual says so. Atleast idling would be helpful in winters.

but one good thing in palio is that the fan runs for a while after you turn off car

Yeah i have observed that.

Hmmm Hmmm.

Check these pics guys am quite worried bout this.

They are rusted i wonder how many time would one find wheels in this condition. Is this condition serious? What should i do now? Is this rusted condition normal? if not then what should be done to avoid this?

Are those the disc brakes? How long was the car not used before that happened or did you have the car washed before that? Please let us know, rusting disc are not a good sign they will wear out the brake pads prematurely.

Nope they are not the Discs. Thats part of the axle. I have brought this car on 7th Nov. I did not wash the car.

For the price see this thread:
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...rmula-red.html (Fiat Palio Stile 1.6 Sport (Formula Red))

mileage would be between 10-12.
And it is palio stile 1.1 dude not 1.2.
