Happy motoring

Cheers,

Hello, Thank you. The cost of HUD was around 3500 Inr, And its available at the Mahindra service centre itself, I had bought it while selecting accessories for the car.

Ya, I am sure the SA would not be having any answer to this but at least he acknowledged the fact of feeling the same

Meanwhile, I went to the workshop for some issue and when I was returning from the workshop , one mechanic was asked to take my car out of the workshop and I was sitting with him and asked about this jerk, he told me that it happens in AWD and by changing gear oil it will be fine and nothing to worry

However , I did not buy his point but will analyse this in my first service by getting AWD oil change.

The point which is strange is that it is not discussed in any forum.

That's weird, If oil change should have made that "Feel" disappear, Then i shouldn't have been facing it now after the first service, Will probably shoot a mail regarding this to Mahindra.

Pre 10000 Kms service update.

Did several highway trips, longest one being 2100 kms in 4 days. Have to say i am impressed with the New XUV! Will list some positive and negatives of the car till now.

Positives
1. Suspension is holding on very well, Still behaves the same way it did on day one.
2. Engine has become even more smoother now.
3. 6th gear is a boon on the highway, after you cross 60Kph its like your driving an automatic car.
4. Brakes still have the same bite as it did on day one.
5. Highway manners have improved over the last gen XUV.
6. Sunroof's operation is still smooth, Just like it was day one.


Negatives
1. Recently when i crossed 9000 Kms, A kind of a knocking/ Clicking sound has started from the engine bay, Which is very audible from the outside, Its obvious there is something wrong.
2. Infotainment system has a few bugs which are very annoying, For instance touch screen won't work at times unless you restart the car, Or Volume of the music increases or decreases on its own etc.
3. Rattling noises from both the front door's have started.
4. Lounge lighting flashes randomly, Can be very distracting during late night highway drives.

Mechanically the car is going strong, Apart from the knocking sound that has started recently, The car even after taking good amount of abuse still behaves the same way it did on day one!

Attaching a picture of the beast while gulping up fuel, She has a big tummy for sure, And well a good thing.

Thanks for sharing the update!!

I have not yet done so many miles but hope to do that during winter holidays. Any tips on things to carry for long trips (if one is planning for mountain drive)?

My XUV just completed around 2K! Overall doing great, really happy! Excellent handling, control and driving pleasure!

Just a minor issue with sunroof! When I open the sun roof it open with a loud thug!! This is comparatively louder than other vehicles. This was even there on day one!
I checked with ASC guys, initially they thought it was a greasing issue but then they said it looks like a motor issue. They said they have recorded the issue and sent to Mahindra but need to open the entire system and investigate.
Since it is not a show stopper I did not go for any further investigation at this time. The sunroof is working fine just a loud thud and do not want the ASC train on my car.

Other minor occasional issue is the foul smell from outside but I figured if you open and then close the vents this problem gets solved. So no problems here as well.

Hello, I would always prefer to carry the following things if i was planning for a long mountain drive or even a long road trip.

1. Some extra diesal
2. A few extra bottle of water
3. High quality rope
4. A Powerful torch
5. fire extinguisher
6. Some refreshments (Soft drinks etc)

These are the few things i can remember as for now, You can always add or minus the things also according to the space available in the car.
Do get the sunroof issue checked soon, Doesn't seem to be a big problem as faar as its operating how it should, About the foul air i too face it everytime i am crossing an industrial area, the AC seems to suck in the air for some reason.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention about the mileage, Have been getting a pretty okay 13-14 Kpl on the highways and not more than 9 - 10 in the city, Though i have only tested these figures a few times. Will check it properly after the 10k Servicing.

A small yet significant update, The knocking/ Clicking sound has suddenly disappeared, Started the car yesterday morning and the car was sounding really silent, thought the sound would come back once the car is driven a bit, But its been almost 150 kms after that, There is absolutely no sound!

And just a couple of days back the sound was very loud, I am curious to know how is this possible, Have decided to wait till 10000 Kms exactly just to see if the sound comes back again, And will then give the car for the 2nd service.

Great to hear. Seems like you have a self-healing car, just like humans
Someone said this - you take care of your car, it will take care of yours and now of it's own too!

Yea, Its good to know the sound is gone, But i am curious what might be the reason the sound, It was very loud for quite sometime, And now when its not there i cant even describe to the Mahindra after sales to what exactly the sound was

I hope it doesn't come back.

10000 Kms Service update,

Service bill 1050rs !

Here's a picture of the bill.



The car had to be delivered within a day, Since after that the 2-3 days were off due to diwali and i have to leave for an outstation trip in a while.

Had given the car mainly for the 10k Servicing apart from that had mentioned the following things,
1. Knocking sound from the engine bay (Solved)
2. Rattling noise from the cabin (Partly solved)
3. Lounge light flickering (Still present)
4. Gear knob vibrations in 4th and 6th gear (Yet to check if rectified)
5. Infotainment system hangs ( Did not happen since i have got the car back)

Work done on the car,
1. 10k Servicing
2. Car cleaning
3. ECU software update

I had asked them to change the engine oil but well the SA was not interested to do so, The car was again sent to the reay road workshop only since only they had a free slot for a pickup and drop

Will rate the service experience a 7 on 10, Was happy to get the car back in a day but have to live with a few niggles till the 3rd servicing.

All in all the car is shinning and driving like as good as new, Just after writing this, The New age cheetah will be en route to cover 2500 to 3000 kms of distance.

Great to hear your car doing so well.

It is little absurd to see SA not following your instructions. Asking them to do an oil change every 10K Kms is my plan too but the way these guys push for all rubbish things like engine coat and what not, I did not expect NO for engine oil change. Maybe they just wanted to do more cars per day to get that free service coupon redeemed from M&M!

Once you miss the 10K periodicity of changing the engine oil, it becomes little difficult to track again when the next oil change should happen or you have to simply resort to their default schedule. If you can get the oil changed even now, i think you should do it and simply resume that 10K periodicity at 20K onwards.

Unfortunately the knocking sound came back during the journey and we decided to cut down the journey and return since the sound was louder than it was before!
Even though car was running perfectly fine, But a sound would be there for a reason right? Wrong reason.
SA just wanted to return the car in a day since it was 2-3 days off after that, So he might not want the extra work or what??

Planning to take it to the service center myself tomorrow and get all the niggles rectified, Will be reporting the following niggles,

1. Knocking sound while the car is stationery, Which comes only after driving about more than 40-50kms

2. Lounge lighting flashes

3. Rattling noises from front both door panels

4. Touchscreen hangs randomly

5. Gear knob vibrations in 4th and 6th gear while accelerating

Lets see how it goes.

This is sad to hear, Tanveer. Good that you are taking it yourself to get the issues fixed. Just curious - did you face any of these issues in your erstwhile XUV?

With regard to the rattling noise from the door panels, the new TUV owners have reported the same and they seem to be able to get rid of the noise by lowering the window by a millimeter. Wonder if that will work here as well. Will help you zero down on what needs to be fixed by the SA.

I have faced a couple of instances when the infortainment system has not responded. But when I change the screen by pressing one of buttons on the center console, lets say the system is showing the FM screen and I change it to 'Phone' by pressing the button below it, the system comes back to life. Is the issue that you are facing different where nothing works whatsoever?

Never faced any mechanical issue with my previous XUV and that was the biggest reason i got another XUV, But yes this issue is a little sad, Though i don't think it should be something major, But still we had to cut down the trip just because of the sound, And also people stopping by to tell you about the sound coming from the engine bay is not something anyone would like!

Rattling noises from the door panels are coming from below the the window switches for me, And its the same in both the front door.

Exactly what you mentioned about the infotainment system, I too face these bugs every now and then, And sometimes only restarting the car helps.

Thats sad to hear. Hope this is resolved soon.

About gear knob, I sometimes felt this vibration but figured out I was having higher gear and lower RPM. But even then, it is not as much vibration as to cause a nuisance or irritation. Not sure if this is the same case with your XUV but could be something to do with AWD thing?

Hope these niggles disappear soon.
