| Senior - BHPian  | Anyone knows how much fuel will be left in the Adventure once the Reserve light comes on. Last time i ran around 25 km with reserve light on. But when refilled petrol spilled out after 41 litres went in. I thought the TAnk capacity was 51 litres. Anyone knows about this???  |

This gentleman has an Adventure and what he has been told by Fiat people is that the Adventure has two fuel tanks or a tank split into two partitions. When the first tank gets filled, the auto stop activates and filling stops. After waiting a while, he tried again and this time another 5-10 litres were filled. He repeated this process over the next 20 minutes(!) and filled over 45 litres in total. We had been to a Fiat Club meet and Shaman Auto service people were also there. We had a long discussion with them and they have promised to check and call us back. | |

| Senior - BHPian | 1700 kilometers of Adventure... Hi moderator please update Title. ================ Hi guys, My F Red Adventure is back from her "first service"(if at all it can be called so!!). The task on hand was 1. minor vibrations on the drivers side door 2. Rear Right door not closing as smooth as others 3.when rolling up/down the windows and when they touch the end (up or down) all the lights dim a little and there is even a very minor change in the engine noise (wanted to confirm it this is normal) I had specifically told them not to touch anything unless they are sure they know what they are doing. The car was delivered in the evening (around 4). And FIAT has stayed upto its reputation.!!! 1. and 2. They just oiled the rear door and did not touch any of the doors to check vibrations since the person in charge for hinges (I never knew there was someone like that!!! anyways good.) was not available. They would call me back as soon as he comes. And about point 3, He does not know about this whether its normal or not. But since its not creating much of a problem and my logic says it should not a big isssue its left like that. They hooked it upto the computer and checked the values. Dont know if they changed anything. I think they also increased the tyre pressure coz i can feel the potholes slightly more than earlier. Earlier i used to experience a small 'missing' once in a while when driving. This has not occured after first service. Dont know if it is becaouse they did something or if it is because i culf fill only ordinary IndianOil Petrol since the ExtraPremium was not available. Could not check the F.E after service. Will get back with that later. Still have not received my owners manual/service book. They are in transit with the floor mats for the past one month!!! Anyways the tata guys were good enough to give me floor mats from there Indigo Marina for my use. Thanks to them for that. I dont think the adventure needs mud flaps. Do they have them? It was part of offer but i nevr asked them for it since i dont think it would look good. Driving has been a pleasure. The Torque available at the vary low rpms just ROCK!!! I havnt crossed the 100km/hr mark yet. Just controlling myself and waiting to complete the initial running in period. Yet to fix ICE which could happen anytime in a the coming few weeks. The Good news has been the FIAT will continue their 1.6 engines. The bad news (almost confirmed) is that more adventures would be coming (i'm just selfish!! sorry on that.) So, on a whole, FIAT has kept its promise!! No Owners manual/service book, No Floor mats, No Hinge Specialist  !!!!.....JUST HELL LOTS OF CARS...AND MORE OF THEM. With JUST OUTSTANDING RIDE AND DRIVE EXPERIENCE. The "adventure" just gives you an extra bonus with those heads that turn at you...and the bikers that overtake just to look back at your bull bars and fogs...and those pot holes which keep thinking "did that guy just enter me or did he miss!!!" |
