Though I have never driven a diesel car in my life, I could not find any other distinct defect in the ES. As far as FE is concerned, I found that per km cost of running a petrol ES is Rs 6.25 in my city whereas, diesel would cost me Rs 3.50 thus making a difference of Rs 2.75 per km. With price difference of Rs 80K and my annual expected running of around 12K km, the cost will be made good in little under 3 years, I think. So, inclined to go ahead with the diesel T, provided I do not come accross any other major issue. | |

In fact, my whole intention of doing so many test drives was to see whether the hard clutch and stiff suspension are just one -off issues in the particular car I was driving or was it an endemic problem. To my chagrin, I found it to be the latter. Could not bring myself to go ahead with my booking, because these were both deal breakers for me. My driving is primarily in the city, and I was not prepared to live with a heavy clutch setup. Hard clutch and stiffer suspension setup are well known characteristics of the Ecosport diesel. Especially, if one is used to driving a petrol with softer clutch setups. Last edited by arindambasu13 : 2nd July 2019 at 12:07. | |

Worst case you can remove and try fixing the mechanism Last edited by Rudra Sen : 14th July 2019 at 11:36. Reason: video link removed from the quote box | |

| ![]() On my recent trip to Goa, starting from Badami and going to South Goa, I was driving through the Mollem ghats in heavy rain and then I had to take diversion, get down Mollem and travel through Chorla ghats to enter Goa, making me drive for almost 2.5 hours extra and straining the engine considerably. All through the drive the AC was on due to heavy rain and from next day onwards I observed that whenever AC was switched on the compressor would switch off and on several times (5-6 times) in a span of 1 minute. The AC cooling was as expected and while the temperatures outside were around 26 degrees the AC was running on 22.5 or 22 most of the time. Till the end of the trip, this issue was recurring especially when the RPM was below 1.2k or when the car would be on idle but I didn't notice any drop in performance of the car or AC, neither did I see any warning lights light-up. Also, on a couple of occasions earlier, I noticed some kind of vibrating sound from the bonnet when the car's RPM was around 1.2k and running slowly. I never heard such sound before. It seemed like the engine wanted to stay running and not switch off. Can the experts here indicate what may or may not have gone wrong? Otherwise the car feels smooth like butter even at around 65k on the Odo after 3 years. ![]() |

| ![]() When luck is not by your side. Was crawling in a water logged street today at around 5kph and out of nowhere heard a sharp sound and saw a pebble ricochet from my rear view mirror. Got down and saw this: Called the workshop immediately, but they said they don't have the part, so asked them to order it. |
