Tanveer didn't u see my infotainment yesterday with the updated software.

(most important one)

Unfortunately i dint, Which service centre did you get yours updated from? Reay road workshop just did not want to upgrade mine it seems. :deadhorse

Infotainment upgrade was done at G3 during the 3 day visit for suspension noises and windscreen fluid issues. Remember my rant on whatsapp group for a 3 day lay off due to such issues on a new car.?

The sunroof issue arises again!! The sunroof refuses to open in a single-go. Will have to fiddle with the switch multiple times for it to open. Got the channels greased just a week ago but in vain. Planning to visit the service center over the weekend and get it rectified. Closing is not an issue, It works fine. Anyone facing a similar problem? Thanks.

What kind of suspension noises are you getting, and what did the service center do. Asking as my new XUV also had windscreen fluid issues, that was resolved. I get a metallic "Cheun cheun" noise (as if two metal pieces are rubbing together). This noise comes from the rear when the vehicle goes over a rough patch. The service center blames it on the middle seat not being locked properly, and greased it. Unfortunately the noise appeared within 3 days, so I think that the issue is elsewhere.

Oh yes! Probably would have to visit G3 now to get the system updated, There are several bugs in the current version of mine.

Thats weird, 13 months in for the car, No issues with the sunroof at all, Even now when there are heavy rains here in Mumbai, Get it checked properly and escalate the issue to a hire level via customer as well so that they will pay attention to it while fixing the issue.

I would suggest try using silicone spray in the channels.

If he greased it already spray won't work either, The mechanism somewhere is getting stuck and hence he has to press it several times for it to work..

Thanks for the prompt response Tanveer. Yes, Am looking out for the best mechanic across the M&M dealers in Bangalore who can carry out this task as it would be relatively new for them to work on.

Thanks Rahul, But the channels seem to work just fine as there isn't any issue with the sliding of the roof across the channels. After some research on the net, i can fairly say that the motor is fine but the problem may be with the cable. Will get it checked on Saturday.

Be there present at the workshop when they are checking it, There should be some issue with the mechanism somewhere which is blocking the flow of the sunroof to open hence you need to give it a few tries for it to work, Open and close it several times after they have done it to make sure it isn't happening again, Another friend with the W10 isn't having any issue with the sunroof since a year.

Earlier generation XUV always had a left pulling issue. I dont know if it has changed with the newer model but given that its same mechanicals, chances are high it persists. I had reported this during my 2nd service and service center claimed it was fixed along with tire rotation, but i found it worse. When i visited A.S.S again, they checked and confirmed that alignment was ok but could be tire issue. So they swapped the front tires and it became perfect. Not sure if this is the right soln, but I am happy as steering is neutral now like my other cars.

Coming from a Beemer, no way in hell you will ever be satisifed with XUV given the interior build quality. I have a prev gen XUV W8 bought in mar 15, so its relatively stable with all niggles fixed. I have not see any of the issues that you mentioned. But given you have new gen its possible that new features like ICE, sun roof may show up niggles. Mahindra does have some evolution cycle for new things.

Team I am taking the delivery of a w4 on Sunday, dates are not explicitly mentioned on the JK tyres which is a cause of concern. Please let me know anything in particular that I need to check while taking the delivery.

Have you done the PDI? If anything you spot wrong during the delivery day it will just spoil your day up and nothing else could be done.

I have checked the body line, odo reading and the equipment. All seems to be in working condition. Am I missing anything major ?

Then it should be all good, Don't worry much and get that beast home on sunday, Do share some pictures here then once you get it, All the best.
