| ![]() Hi I am referring to the spare wheel mounting. As Abhi7013 says it is next to impossible to fix a wheel inside out. Last edited by arulpeem : 18th September 2017 at 11:38. |

| ![]() Hi Took delivery of my Hexa XTA 4*2 yesterday. This was my first Tata delivery. Have previously taken deliveries of 2 MSIL Cars. There is a significant difference between MSIL and TML. For one, the car was not cleaned properly, which I had to ensure that they did. Second, the vehicle was low on fuel, I had to argue for a fuel voucher, which they finally gave. Third, I identified a small scratch which they have agreed to remove at their expense. These are not deal breakers but I would have been happier without them. I also agree that I am extra cautious in dealing with TML, and I have hardly cared so much during my MSIL deliveries. The car rides like a dream and the family is happy ![]() I am indebted to people in this forum and particularly this thread who have shared so much information. Thank you so much! us.dash |

| ![]() A question to my expert forum friends on something about XTA safety features. I have booked an XTA and waiting for it to be delivered by early next week. There is no ESP with Roll-over Mitigation in XTA. But I see the Owner's Manual mentioning that the non-ESP versions have LSD (I assume in the rear axle). Isn't an LSD enough to get good traction on curves and slippery roads? Or my base assumption of having LSD on XTA itself is incorrect? |

ESP apart from a similar task of LSD, also maintains the vehicle stability on road as well, by braking individual wheels and transfering power to the other wheel. In short, you cannot really compare ESP with LSD, since ESP reacts to vehicle stability changes in microseconds while LSD offers traction to the other wheel after a few seconds of wheel spin.

![]() Man! this so embarrassing. I so missed reading the post carefully. Sorry about that. @Arulpeem - are you sure its a wrong mounting because many cars actually have it that way and to fill air in the spare you need to unscrew it, turn it, fill it up, turn it again and then screw it back. I need to follow this exercise every time I have to top up the spare in my car. Also as per the pics in the review, it looks like that is how it is mounted in the hexa orginally. Looking at the pics, the mounting seems right to me if its inside out Quote: Last edited by centaur : 18th September 2017 at 14:53. | |||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() XTA Transmission noises At certain speeds, the transmission makes noise which sounds like a rubber flap brushing against the wheel or underbody. I'm guessing this is expected for auto transmissions when the speed is not right for a gear and the tranny tries to keep it in the correct gear ? Wanted to check with other drivers of the XTA. thanks Srinivas |

Its like a metal rubbing against another, or what we term it as the famous "engine gargle'. If that's the case, then it's pretty normal. If not, maybe other XTA owners can help! | |

| ![]() Quote: Our sales advisers Mr. Medappa and Mr. Vishal are doing their best to deliver our vehicle before Ayudha Pooja. Vehicle was billed and shipped to Mysuru on 16th of September, 2017. Expected date of shipment arrival is 23rd of September, 2017. Meanwhile we had discussions with both Sales and Service advisers. After negotiating, below is the revised price. These guys are yet to confirm exact reduction in Insurance, Handling and Logistics charges. Accessories adviser Mr. Vinayak is a tough negotiator. He did not leave even a single penny on the side steps and front bonnet chrome garnish, where as, other dealers are offering more than 10% discount here. Tyre pressure monitor system is an integral part with XUV, where as offered price for this accessory with HUD display is INR 11000. I am still on dilemma over this. ![]()
From the accessories list we liked only two. Side steps - These are a must - INR 17000 Bonnet chrome garnish - We liked the look - INR 1724 We are yet to decide on below accessories. Tyre pressure monitoring system - INR 11000 after discount PVC Mats - INR 8500 If everything goes as per plan, planning to do PDI on Monday, 25th of September, 2017. Regards, P21 | |

The sound which you're referring to the transmission noise is the sound of the turbo actually. You'll get this sound of the turbocharger once the engine crosses or touches 2000 rpm. If this isn't the case, get the car checked at your nearest TASS. Varun | |

I still feel you have some scope for negotiations. For example, Insurance can be brought down to 55-56k, if done from dealership and around 50k if done independently. Logistics and Handling charges can be reduced to zero. And try to push for some more discounts, in addition to 5k corporate discount, as you have booked the car pre cess hike. Also, some dealers in Bangalore may have pre-cess stock of XT, which they might agree to give at discounted prices. Just try to call any of the dealership namely KHT, Aadya, Concorde or Prerana. And typically all dealerships will give 10% discount on accessories. | |

This issue has been talked about a lot and we have also met with TML's Karl Heinz regarding this on our visit to the plant this Monday. They are looking into it but there is no solution as of now. | |
