they used to. there was a yellow sticker on the non-crde scorpios on the dashboard, besides the right AC vent. its absent in the newer scorpios though. maybe they think such things are taken for granted now.

Folks,

Pls advice

What does a fuel pump service entail? Thats the first I heard of it.

m_upreti · 1st July 2009, 13:03

Bad state of affairs, probable cost cutting here too...at least the manual / CD should have had a mention of this.

these stickers are not present in any of the modern cars. i have not noticed any such sticker even in the innova & safari.

m_upreti · 2nd July 2009, 11:27

Agreed, but should be there.

At least the warning stickers are present in CNG autos and buses on the do's & dont's

No sticker but it is very clearly mentioned in the Safari Manual.

m_upreti · 2nd July 2009, 12:00

M&M should also mention this in their brochure as well as the CD they provide.

Hi,
Gave my vehicle for service at VST ,Velachery.
Issues as mentioned earlier.
They claim to have to checked all turbo hoses, new airfilter , changed gear oil, checked cat con, egr etc...
Did a test drive now .Feel that the car is much smoother but the turbo does not seem to kick in.
So they have decided to send the turbo to TEL for assesment.
Will update.

tnx

Just got a call from VST saying that TEL has tested and have found that the turbo has faileD.Since my vehicle was bought under the 5 yr warranty scheme(mahindra celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2007) so, for a brief period they gave 60 months warranty. They are writing to mahindra for replacement according to the SA.
I stand vindicated! Thanx TBHP for educating novices like me on the technicalities.

tnx

raj_5004 · 8th July 2009, 15:48

turbo failed? how? anyways, good to hear that you had the 5 year waranty! i hope your scorpio regains its glory in few days.

m_upreti · 8th July 2009, 18:23

Lucky for you Pradeep that you have that warranty.

Keep us updated on the action that is happening with the Turbo.

Hi,
Mahindra has rejected free replacment as the vehicle has been serviced once in MY TVS and not in their authorised service centre.
They have cited poor oil quality as the cause for turbo failure but, i have changed all required filters,parts even before suggested time.
Pls advice on whom in Mahindra direct i can escalate the issue to.
tnx

ImmortalZ · 11th July 2009, 14:06

You won't get very far with legal procedures in that case. They have clear clauses which state that warranty will be void if the vehicle is serviced outside the authorized dealership. Too bad we don't have laws like they do in the US which stop them from doing crap like this.

You may have to find someone in Mahindra to do this as a favor.

amitk26 · 11th July 2009, 22:47

Just one question how they found that once it was serviced outside A.S.S ?
Did you tell your self ?
