anju - can you comment on the handling and braking of this car at high speeds especially when not on a straight - do you feel the need for abs or all 4 disc brakes and does the suspension work well at high speed turns.

I was checking the aussie getz crdi and it comes standard with all 4 disc brakes + abs as well as independent suspension for front n rear

While I am sorry to hear about Undead's situation, I have one more question to you folks.

I was driving my Kencha the other days, the moment I reached 140KMPH, the steering started vibrating a bit, I pressed the paddle to reach 160 but still its kept vibrating. I came back to below 120, then it stopped. I do not know where the problem was, need to check with Showroom. But before that, wanted to ask friends here ?

Anybody faced this isse ? Any idea of potential cause ? any home remedy ?

cheers
Anju

No steering vibration issue in my CRDi till now.<Touchwood>

What wheels are u running now? Turanza ER60 and alloys??

Anju · 24th September 2008, 13:56

Yes Prajesh,

Turanza ER60 and alloys(Aura). They did wheel alignment,rotation during second service.. and now this problem which I didn't face before....

cheers

Steering vibration is only due to the need for wheel balancing, for alloys it is typically advised to get it done atleast every 5000 km on the odo, get your balancing done and you can get rid of the vibrations.

Its a balancing issue. Get the balancing done again from a good tire shop. Mostly the service centers don't have specialist for balancing and allignment.

BTW how much did u pay for the 2nd service? and how many kms has the Kencha done?

Anju · 26th September 2008, 11:32

2nd serive bill came around 4 K, I don't remember though, as its been while I did that.

Kencha has done 9K+ kms.
steering vibration is the only issue I faced so far, otherwise, Kencha is doing super good. I am astonished to the highway mileage. its in the range of 20 all the time.

cheers

Hey anju , I too completed the 2nd service . But the bill came around Rs.1500 for me. Can you list out the service details ? For me they changed only the Engine oil and Oil Filter .

Anju · 26th September 2008, 14:21

I think I went for Underbody coat,vacuum cleaning,polishing. Don't recall why I paid 4K +.

I am sorry to hear about your mishap but appreciate your attitude in overcoming the challenge. Hope things get better for your little monster soon, without hurting too much to your purse.

Keep the spirit high dear.

cheers
Anju
