Took me almost 6 months to reach the 20k mark from 15k kms.All through the car has performed exceptionally well and hasn't given me any kind of trouble.
Only problem that I faced after the 15k service is mentioned
here (Baleno : Post 15k Service Issues) .The problem was fixed free of cost.
The car went through a complete make over about 2 months back and had created a thread for the same. Check the look-a-likes
thread (Baleno : Post 15k Service Issues) .
My car is only serviced at RNS and this time around again they called me to inform that my car was due for service. This was about 2 weeks back and I never had the time the drop the car off.
Finally managed to find time and leave the car at RNS for servicing.
Friday was a long day for me and Sanjay(hellcat) , both of us went hunting for a lens and tripod
.I was supposed to be buying Synthetic Oil and that took a back seat.
Mahesh thanks for your help in sourcing Mobil 1. I owe you a drink.
Picked up 4 liters and it sells at 780/- bucks a liter.
Here's goes the list of things that was changed
1 - NGK Iridium spark plugs (4 pieces)
2 - Brake fluid change.
3 - Coolant.
4 - Gear Oil.
5 - Radiator flushing.
6 - Engine Oil flush and change.
7 - Drum brakes cleaning.
8 - Re-aligned and balanced all the wheels once again.
To my surprise
3M has set up a counter at RNS and I opted
3M fluids for flushing and gear box oil.
3M Detailing is also available at the service center for the interested folks. Discounts are also available !!
Total cost at RNS was 4840/-(including labour ) and I purchased Mobil 1 separately for 3100/- .
At 20k kms, a service worth 7940/- was it expensive ?
Took delivery of the car and it rained cats and dogs in bangy. All thru stuck in the traffic and took me almost 3 hrs to cover 3 kms. Car felt smooth all through and I really dint get a chance to red line her.
Tomorrow am off to Mysore and will put her thru the acid test.
Will post up mileage figures too, previous recorded mileage has been around 13.5 kmpl within the city with AC on almost 100%. I only roll down the window when I smoke.
RNS has again lived up to my expectations and kudo's to their team. They called me to inform about the delay for delivery since the weights for alignment weren't available. Car was delivered as promised at 5pm today.
Wonderful crew they have and I recommend them if anyone wants to avail services.
End of the day am happy and wouldn't part with her.
