60,000 kms service done

I have got the 60k kilometres service for our 3.2 endeavour few days back. Odometer stands at around 59,000 kilometres. No complaints as such with the vehicle apart from the aging MRF tyres which have suffered 3 punctures in last 2 months. Planning to change the tyres to Michelin primacy suv in couple of weeks.

Total cost for service is Rs 9,001/- which included oil, air, fuel and AC cabin filters. Changing the AC filter was not a part of general 60k service however I decided to change it by choice. Also brake fluid top up was done. Without these two the general service would have costed Rs 7,000/-

Overall till now am happy with the vehicle and I am sure a change in the tyres will definitely improve the overall experience considerably

Service costs are indeed reasonable. What has been your FE so far?

Did the OEM MRF Tyres last this long? Any other previous 10k service had any major part change?

Till now the FE has been 10 - 10.5 kmpl on highway and around 9 kmpl in city traffic. Spirited driving gives nothing more than 8 kmpl!

Going by the depth of tyre thread, I am sure they will last another 15k to 20k kilometres more. BTW I had to change around two tyres at around 15,000 and 25000 kilometres on the odo as one had a side wall cut and other has gotten a puncture in the side wall.

I remember changing the rear brake pads at 40k kms service and front are yet to be changed. Apart from this headlight leveller, rear propeller shaft and CMP sensor were replaced under warranty.

Did you faced any stalling or breakdown issues? Any idea what would be the approximate cost of those?

Hi,
You can find complete details regarding the issue here :

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...ion-issue.html

No real breakdown/towing incidents yet on the endeavour. Whatever the issues are "Ford India" has handled them professionally and provided me with either compensation for time spent in garage and provided me a loaner ecosport when needed. Everything is covered under warranty. The service I got and the involvement of parent company in my case is probably THE best I have received so far.

This is very reasonable. I am glad the Ford has improve on it's service/spares.

This is excellent for a 3.2 Liter 5-Cylinder powerful engine. I don't think one should expect anything more than this.

Took the test drive of the 2.2 Sun roof endeavour. Must say the car has a brilliant driving position Just commanding reminds me of my old safari and then a bit more height too!
Was extremely disappointed with the ride quality though, reminded me of the older fortuner with the middle row being wobbled and shaken by each and every undulation on the road ?! Which I think is not fair for a 35lakh plus vehicle! Have now called the 3.2 for a test drive - will there be a change in ride quality?

I don't think 3,2 will fair any better, this is the single most grudge I feel towards this otherwise highly capable vehicle, the kind of hit you get on middle seats is really bad.

Will suggest you try the Fortuner or Innova as well if middle seat ride comfort is a deciding factor. Other than these, there are hardly any other options in this segment presently.

That's quite a feat! My old Trend one which has now done about 70,000 Km has around 3/4 changes of pads/ rotors already, perhaps it depends on the driver

Again, I think it varies depending on usage, I have asked my accounts guy to make a sheet of all expenses and will try to post here but I see many extras added on the invoices, so it all depends how you interact with the service team. With Toyota, I don't see such a problem. So, I will say they are doing better but Toyota is a benchmark.

I have not tried new Fortuner off late, as of now test driving LX and LC

Where do you read this? I don't think this is even a concern, we get the same truck as being sold elsewhere and there are absolutely no issues on driveability reported.



Automobiles manufactured in India are very different now, even from Tata Just that traffic is a nightmare at most of the places despite improvement in roads.



Do compare with Fortuner and take a decision.

My thoughts absolutely !
Had driven the old look Fortuner Mumbai to Pune and this test ride brought back the same mid row memories unfortunately - has the ride quality of the fortuner changed with the face lift?
What about the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport ? Any good? Dont like the look but now have no real choice :(

Please test drive Hexa as well. As per my test drive experience, Hexa had the better ride and especially with the bucket seats. When I was test driving, For Ride (Especially for the middle row) my rating was Hexa > Endeavour > Crysta > Fortuner

I have seen dealers keeping the tyre pressure upward of 34 psi. On stock MRF these makes for a very hard ride. See if the dealer can bring it down to 30-31 where the ride quality on MRF significantly improves. This is one of the pain points I experience often. I carry a good quality metallic pressure gauge with me.

Hi,
Initially even I was extremely disappointed with the ride in middle row. But after reducing the tyre pressure to around 30 there was a significant difference in the ride. It still is much better than the old/new Fortuner and may be slightly better than our old Innova. I still dont call the ride as plush or very comfortable (like our superb), but it is now satisfactory. I am sure it will improve with a tyre change. Consider endeavour only if your driving involves driving over pothole filled state highways or driving to farms. For regular 4 lane driving I won't suggest either Fortuner/endeavour.

Ford India website says the endeavour is fitted with a Power Shift AT dual clutch transmission. Link below:

List of cars in which the dual clutch transmission is available is mentioned towards the bottom of the page.
