Got the yearly service done on my Crysta, 30k kms service with odometer at 20k kms. The usual jobs done: oil and oil filter change, air filter, and wheel alignment/balancing.

--

On another matter,

The car will complete three years later this year, so I enquired about Extended Warranty. A two year extension costs 49k! I've generally been a big proponent of getting maximum coverage, but this is very steep! I might just go for it anyway given the amount of electronics in cars these days, and how costly parts are.

Is that for 2 additional years without any additional KM's? Toyota have flexible options like 2 Years without any additional KM's, 2 Years 40K KM's etc. Price varies based on the package. With Innova only thing that you would see issue is probably steering wheel(cracked wood section) and may be DPF. Latter mostly wont be covered in warranty.

This is 2 years, and 1 lakh kms. Apparently, there's another package for higher-running cars (taxis). But I'll call another dealer and check if there's better pricing.

On an related note, I noticed some cracking on the rear indicator while dropping it for service and have asked for a warranty replacement.

This is about Grease lubrication and Battery maintenance:
1. I experienced that ASCs don't lubricate grease points - some does and some doesn't. Did anyone experience it as well? Would like to know the greasing points as well as how to handle this - DIY or Insist ASC to do this?
2. If DIY, pls share any recommended brand we can procure online
3. Battery maintenance: I observed that ASCs simply check specific gravity and doesn't check distilled water level, i have refilled at home to the recommended level. Is it OK if Sp. Gravity is fine despite low level of distilled water?

However we ended up with Crysta GX as on the day of PDI for the Hyryder my wife saw this parked in the Garage and it was readily available. Post discussion with the Sales guy, we ended up taking our White Crysta GX home in September end.

I did'nt consider the VX as it seems a waste of money and would rather buy a Hycross at that price point as the premium from GX to VX make any sense. I only miss Automatic Climate Control, Cruise Control and Curtain Airbags choosing the GX vs VX (even Keyless Entry, Ambient Lighting and Projectors are slightly missed) but a premium of nearly 6 lakhs seems totally non-sensical for these features. Dunno what Toyota is thinking here.

Happy with my decision as the Car is going good with 10.5k KMS' done in 4 months.

So coming to my questions - Some advise needed on the below.

1) I have never topped up the AdBlue till now. With 10.5k KMs done till now. The Car had gone for service last week, and the service center did not top up Adblue. I called up the service advisor yesterday and he confirmed that they have not put any AdBlue, I told him that I have also not put any adblue till now so he was surprised to know that the car has gone 10k+ without adblue topup and even the top up warning is not coming till now. Just wanted to check if this is normal and what range are you getting with your Crysta's for the Adblue.

2) Secondly, I want to add the Cruise Control feature in the car - Read in the forum on one thread about people doing the same. Can anyone provide any reference in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR for the same.

3) Thirdly, I want to add the auto mirror folding and window closing relays - Reference on that would be also helpful.

4) Next, I want to know if it is possible to add Automatic Climate control/Keyless Entry and Push Start to the car now? Also expected charges and references for the same would be helpful.

Thanks!!

30k Service update for my Crysta GX. It is proving to be a great choice.
1) Got ceramic coating done from Luxque in Noida (28k for 5Yr)
2) Cruise control installed from Classic Access in Kirti Nagar (5k)
3) Ambient Lighting, Rolling Sunshades, Qubo Dashcam (3k Front + Rear), Rear Bumper guard also added from Gurgaon

Car is going great without any issues, I am able to get 14-15kmpl in city and 16-18kmpl on Highways with a very light foot. I mostly drive between 80-95 on highways. Even in cities I avoid harsh acceleration/braking as much as possible.

On Adblue consumption - I am seeing much lesser Adblue consumption as compared to others. Till now 7.5 Ltrs was topped up at 16k km, 2.5 Ltrs at 20k and another 5k at 30k service. Total Adblue consumed till now in 30k kms is nearly 15 Ltrs (May have taken 1-2 ltrs more at 30k service, but the SA said since my consumption is low, this should suffice till 40k). My daily drives are right now through Dwarka Expressway to Delhi and he attributed the light footed drive on the same to the low consumption.

Renewed the smiles package for ~23k for 30k and 40k service (without alignment/balancing).

Any ideas on if any android HU can support the fuel consumption/trip information that comes on the stock HU. I want to change to a better HU, but do not want to give up on these information as they are quite useful.

Thanks!

I liked the crawling function in Crysta on any gear where you simply remove your leg from accelerator and the car still moves on at min. speed like an automatic car. I tried this even in ramp inclines and it does move up without any wobble but tried always as a single user. Has anyone tried this feature in ramp inclines (malls / office parking) and that too with load? By the way, will it harm the engine?

Anti-stall tuning and torque of a diesel engine is what you experienced. Almost all diesel vehicles (and even some petrol ones with good low end torque and short gearing) will crawl without accelerator input and also climb up ramps without breaking a sweat. The vehicles can do it even under full load, without straining the engine. Don't worry and just enjoy your "automatic"

That, my friend, is Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) in action. Oh how I miss that on my Thar CRDe.

I'm not sure if turbo even starts to spool at crawling speeds. The engine rpm will only be around 800 rpms then.

It's a combination of the below factors.

1. The diesel engine has a good low rpm torque.
2. The displacement of crysta's engine is 2.4l which is big and makes the first point more amplified.
3. How the manufacturer decides to use that torque with gear ratios. The shorter the ratios, the better for crawling.

I happen to be one of those last lucky ones to purchase a proper automatic Innova Crysta, and it’s bliss driving in the city.

Dear forum members,

I need your advice regarding the low mileage that I have been getting from my crysta. It has run 1.80 lakh kms and has been serviced by authorised service center only. The last service was at 1.80 lakh and it has been driven 1000 kms since.

I get very low mileage in city. Many would be shocked by the mileage it gives. 7 or 8 kmpl with ac in the low setting. I'm very confused as to what could be the reason. I request you all to share your valuable advice as it would be very helpful. Any further questions I'm ready to answer in the upcoming posts.

Mods: please merge this thread into the appropriate forum as I'm unable to do so.

It wouldnt help if you dont share relevant details. Which year? BS4/BS4? Manual/Auto? 2.4/2.8L?

I'm assuming your car has a manual gearbox since BS 4 in 2.4l size came with only manual if my memory can be trusted.

In addition to the car's character, fuel economy is also a function of the driving conditions and/or driving style. So, whether 8 kmpl is low depends on those factors as well.

Did you see a sudden drop in fuel economy compared to earlier? If so, what was the fuel economy earlier?

Have you come across some changes recently? Like moving to a different area in a city, more frequency of shorter drives, more idling, changing your regular fuel filling station, changed driver etc.

Note: I own a 2017 registered Innova crysta BS 4 2.8 AT ( 1.14 lakhs kms on the odo ) with idle start/stop. During my initial days, it used to give me around 8-9 kmpl when I lived in a very congested part of the city with frequent short crawling drives. I moved 2 kms outwards from the city and the fuel economy became 10 - 11 kmpl in predominantly city driving.

It's rarely that I don't drive on the Crysta. But when I'm on a trip with friends and they are driving, I go straight to the 3rd row.

Reasons

1. The incline is just right at the full incline position of the 3rd row.
2. I've the gap between the two 2nd row seats in case I want to stretch my legs.
3. If we are only 4 travelling including the driver, it's even better. I half fold the seat in front of me and use it as a bench for me to rest my legs. This is super comfortable.
4. The back support and angles are just right. On the second row, I don't like how the seat pushes you. It feels a bit out of shape. On this aspect, the front row seats are the best.
5. Unlike in many other vehicles where I felt motion sick on the rear seats, nothing of that sort ever happened to me on the 3rd row Crysta seats inspite of being there for close to 6 hours in a single day. Not sure if the pitch and bounce control on the top end variant of the Crysta plays a part here or whether it's the same with every other variants as well.

Note: I do not like sitting on the 3rd row of Crysta with the bench seats on the 2nd row. That makes the 3rd row claustrophobic and takes away the stretching option as well.

Right side mirror - outer cover dislodged by 2mm. Need help from the members here on how to attach the outer cover back to its original position. Motors and folding function are all good. No visible marks of broken pieces. Tried pushing the outer cover with little force but didn't move. Look forward to hear from the team. PFA the pic.
