The Ertiga CNGs are powered by Suzuki's 1.5-litre, K15B petrol engine that produces 105hp and 138Nm of torque on petrol, though on CNG, these figures reduce a bit as the output comes down to 92hp and 122Nm. The engine is paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

That's odd. I have already flipped the tyre in the bracket and the air inlet is now facing downwards. I have made sure to have the inlet is at closest point from rear end of car.

I have tried and I could not flip. I was not able to position it properly if I flip because there is a rod in the middle which turns upward which is hitting the front side ( flat surface) of the rim. If the front side faces upwards then this it fits properly.

Sorry to hear that. My vxi 2016 model allowed me to flip it very easily. Looks like there us a big change in the bracket underneath. Wonder how maruti expects to put air in spare tyre in new ertiga?

Looks like in New Ertiga they made it this way. Not sure what Maruti has thought on this. It's a risky one as I am not checking the spare wheel air often due to this issue. In fact only once in the last 5 months of ownership.

Perhaps you need to remove spare tyre at home and then carry it in car to petrol pump. Get it filled there and get it back and put back in place. Even if you fill the air at home you need to carry out this tyre removal and putting back exercise. That's awful.
I make sure to check this tyre before any long drive without failure.

Guys. A weird problem in my Ertiga zxi+. Offlate the lock unlock sound has stopped . It works just fine in silent mode . Any thoughts on this ? Maybe some settings related . Thanks in advance

Check the coupler to the hooter inside the bonnet. It may have got disconnected or rats may have chewed a wire leading to this.

Old remotes allowed silent lock unlock but only for that one occasion when you want to lock or unlock by pressing 2 buttons simultaneously and then either press lock or or unlock and it would do it silently. But after this it was normal beeps.

The Maruti Ertiga petrol now complies with the BS-VI emission regulations that will come into effect on April 1, 2020. The updated Ertiga is priced from Rs. 7,54,689 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

"Can?" - In theory of course yes. Its not impossible at all.

"Will anyone do it for a customer's car?" - mostly not. The workshops won't have standard operating instruction manuals for such a modification & the mechanics and service advisors don't do anything outside their prescribed procedures and trainings.

So if this needs to be done - you'd have to have contacts at MSIL plants who would help you get it done from their "experts".
