Time to update the thread i guess,
got the first service done few days back around 13xx kms mark, experience was ok nothing too gr8 or bad. given the car in the morning around 9 and service center was full. they promised me delivery in the evening 5PM so i went there at 4:30 and that time they were taking my car for washing, i watched the whole washing process and they clean the car as they were cleaning a truck :( i felt the whole interior will be wet but actually it wasn't, and they cleaned the engine compartment with water without any protection on the ECU :-0 , when i asked the service engineer over there he told me its not a problem and its already well protected. then he showed me other cars like dicor/safari which also have ECU in engine compartment and they clean them also.
i asked them to change the engine oil and filter. it was not necessary as recommended period is 7500kms but still i insisted on that so they said ok they will do it. i wanted to get the oil changed in front of me so i see how its done and basically can do it at home
...
well after washing they bring my car for oil change and i was asked to come inside the servicing section which is usually no entry for customers
, anyways they put the car on ramps and one guy brings oil in a old mobil can i asked him y its not sealed box he said big containers come from company they fill it from there, i said ok . again oil filter was missing not avaialble. they bring all other oil filters other than one that fits in 1.6. the service engineer said the all fiat technicians have left as its very late(time was actually 7PM and service is done till 5-6 only),
anyways i got the car after 30-35 mins. cleaning was good. interiors were properly cleaned and polished. only the delivery was dealyed but that was blamed on me because i wanted to change the oil in front of me .....
one thing i noticed inside the service center that they were driving the cars very recklessly like accelerating hard and then braking, the whole time i was hearing tyre squeals . but mostly they were doing that cabs dunno if they do the same on private cars. one guy was taking a 180* turn on a car in very narrow place and he scratched the car two times on the wall. i pity the owner of that car.
Fuel efficiency
i have done a very heavy foot driving in last refill. gone till 6k RPM many times(just lover the exhaust, its alone worth the price of the car ). also changing the gear at 4000 RPM mostly and got a mileage of 9.8kmpl. my last mileage was 11kmpl.
ICE
also got basic ICE done. a pioneer 4050 and infinity components in the front. and it sound way better than i expected. will get a amp and sub later.
