Guess what, i noticed the same high pitched sound since yesterday. Infact, when you turn on the ignition, there used to be a mild sound earlier but now it has become too noisy. |

Yup, 185/60-14s are a good choice, If you do more highway drives then you could possibly go in for Michelin XM2s or the Bridgestone Turanza ER60s. I chose the Yoko A-drives because they were cheaper (500 bucks cheaper than Michelins and 1k cheaper Bridgestones per tyre) for almost the same performance and also because I drive mainly in the city. Any of these tyre choices over 155 Vectras will keep you superbly happy. ![]() Just did my first wet run on my Yoko A-drives, pretty satisfied (had one late braking incident, thought the tyres would skid, they didn't). ![]() Last edited by superutp : 25th April 2012 at 18:42. | |

| ![]() Sajjt Hi Not much of a problem as I was alone,so not overloaded. Before Sonmarg the road was washed out and at that place I took 3/4 hits though no damage. Before Pathankot(Sarna village) and at 2 other places I took some hits at the bottom. In november the car was serviced and checked.Touch wood everything was ok. I have not written any travelogue nor have I taken any pictures as I didnt own a camera at that time(I got my first camera free with a LCD tv in march) On a different site I have thanked a few people whom I met during the journey.Do read it. Regards |

Anyway, I have a feeling that this sound exists only when the Fuel is half full or greater. Ill be re-fueling tomorrow and lets see if the sound reappears. I got my 'rear thud' sound fixed which was due to a loose spoiler and the SA also hammered the latch. Its gone for now but as one sound disappears another appears-my driver seat has started squeaking ![]() I seriously wonder whats with the orchestra within my Beat, as if the music system wasn't enough. ![]() | |

Quickly tightened them up. Its holding on with 3 nuts now! And my ride isn't completely rattle free as well. Especially over poor patches of roads. Should get all the bolts n nuts checked for tightness in the 35k service that will be due soon. | |

| ![]() Well, my car is approaching the 25 K on odo. Faults As somebody said some 'Thud' sound is coming from the back as if something is loose. The service center guys couldn't figure it out yet. Complained this to the customer care when they called me about the service. They told they'll take up the issue seriously for the next service which is due in few days time. Mileage Mileage ranges from 13-18 on mixed driving (Highway,city,Bad roads etc).. Still love its smooth engine. Top Speed I have taken it till 160 km/hr on the speedo. this was achieved in 4th gear though.The car felt stable. Even i was suprised on seeing what my car has achieved. Queries Anyone tried with the K & N filers on Beat? and if so appreciate your reviews. |

Top speed in 4th gear, what RPM were u at? For the K&N filter you may want to read this thread- http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...-ice-more.html Apparently improves performance in mid and high RPMS. Quote:
![]() ......... Update on my FE. 415.7 kms driven and drank 29.93 ltrs. Around 120 kms was highway, rest was city. Gives around 13.88km/l, I highest I have ever got. But what interests me is that considering I get say 11.5 generally in the city, the highway figure approximately equates to around 18-19km/l which is awesome!! ![]() Only fly in the ointment here is that 2 kms after refueling one bar dropped, possibly meaning the auto-stop of the filler stopped slightly early. Will only know next top-up time. EDIT: This is also the first FE figure with the 175 tyres, now I feel I should have gone for 185s. More usage of AC due to summer, around 70% of times.

'Love at First sight'- I know exactly what you mean, my mind was decided even before I considered buying it. Waiting for your 15k thread and then will ask you questions about your Beat. Last edited by superutp : 1st May 2012 at 20:53. | |
