Timely rotation ensures even wear and tear of all 4/5 tyres.
Balancing ensures even wear and tear of treads on the tyre plus increases the longevity of the suspension.
Alignment ensures even wear and tear of treads, suspension and steering column longevity.

Experts can throw some more light on this, plus there are dedicated threads on this forum which can help you out.

Cheers!

Please get rotation / balancing done every 5K kms, that's what good shops recommend.

Nope! Actually I wanted to know still the steering input sensor reset is needed considering the Elite i20 and Creta are having pull drift compensation feature.

What kind of power loss is it? When do you feel it and under what conditions? Does it go back to normal or is it the same throughout?

[shridhar.s.i]

Finally, i booked elite i20 Asta (Diesel) Stardust
You can click here for the booking related info

I had a few questions
Question 1. When is the time i should switch to synthetic oil, should i do it right away while getting delivery of car, or should i wait for a year or so before making this flip
Question 2. I am seriously considering Racedynamics DieselTRONIC dual channel ECU, here is the link
But I am not sure again,whether i can for this right after the run in or again do i need to wait for a year
Question 3. I am new to diesel cars, so how much is the max RPM i should keep the vehicle on during the run in phase, also do i need to idle the car before driving it to keep the turbo in good health ?
Question 4. Sunfilms are banned, but i do want to go for the UV filter films, are these legal and where can i get a good deal
Question 5. In my swift and i10 i was told the car already comes with underbody treatment done, do i need to get that done again

Any guidance on the above questions will really help

@rsr this is the first time I Have encountered it.
It was driving fine this morning I went to the bank for some time and then came back and started it and drove it and then suddenly it lost power. I turned the car off and then turned it on and drove again the same problem as soon as I move to higher gear again lost power. I recently fueled from another bunker could it be case of adulterated fuel.i drove back home in first gear.

Gents, has any one tried out dual beam LED's in their i20? I have been dappling with the idea of installing these in my car, spoke to a few dealers but most have discouraged me to go for them citing reason like the throw is short and even with projectors they may not make a huge difference.

Hi all.
Anyone here installed Osram nightbreakers in their i20 ?
I am planning to get them as i feel that current bulbs are not sufficient at night driving.
Also is white light less effective during rain ?

I have been using Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited from the 1st month of ownership. The results are good - can't compare it with a 100/90 with a relay though.
It is much better than the stock lamps. Plus, it isn't exactly white light, just has a white tinge to it. I do a lot of highway driving and NB Unlimited does serve my purpose well.

Is the Elite i20 designed with a crumple zone structural feature?

I remember one of the SA in a showroom mentioning this when I was checking the engine bay of 1.2 VTVT - "Sir, this car has a collapsible engine (never heard before) where the engine will not enter the passenger cabin during a head-on collision. Instead, it will drop downwards for passenger safety".

I thought he was referring to a crumple zone but did not push for more details.

Hi,
In my humble opinion, please refrain from using night breakers, for the amount you are paying, you are not getting a product worth that price
I had installed them on my i10 (H4 bulbs) but did not find any considerable improvement. the spread was a little better but no improvement in illumination

If you really want to go for a proper upgrade better conside the Rally bulbs with relay kit, 100/90 is recommended. I used these on my Swift for almost 5 years without any fuss

If you want to push a little higher, you can opt for the 130/100 as well. Have been using them for past 3 years in i10 and no issues so far
Have ordered the same even for my new Elite i20.

Do not skimp on the relay kit though, go for either original philips or Hella

Hope this helps

With all due respect, if you go through my post, I've mentioned that NB's cannot be compared with a 100/90 with a relay.
Having said that, Elite i20's headlamp comes with a plastic cover behind the bulb holder which makes it difficult to fix an aftermarket holder, relay with a wiring harness and ceramic holders in this case. And, if you still fix a relay along with the higher wattage bulb to the OEM holder, it'll melt because of the heat generated. Not sure about the headlamp/holder design in other Hyundai cars.

BTW, I've myself used Philips Rally 100/90 with Hella relay and a separate wiring harness kit in my earlier cars (Swift and Vento). Was forced to switch over to the NB Unlimited due to the holder cover issue.

One solution can be to make a round hole in the cover but it would end up in dust/moisture getting accumulated in the headlamp assembly.

But yes, NB's are much better than the original 60/55 lamps.

Did not know about the plastic cover, will check it with my FNG, thanks for that info

But i believe we need to go for ceramic holders, and that was done even for my i10. Even I am not sure what i10 had as original holder. But in past 3 years have not observed any meltdown or blackening of reflectors. So no complaints

Even i am planning to go for DieselTRONIC but only after car completes one year
Then i will actually switch over to synthetic, have the ECU piggyback installed , hope the results are good then

Do check as I am sure the original wires would have got tampered in order to fix ceramic holders. Or, I10 probably doesn't come with those plastic covers

Do keep us posted on your Dieseltronic upgrade!!
