You are absolutely right, we may riot & shout the from the roof tops but the fact of the matter is that we love our Mahindra's .

My Nippon security system's siren is acting up again (I got the hooter replaced last year for 800 Rs.)

The sound did not work in the morning yesterday when I left the vehicle in the parking in the morning, in the evening it gve a single hoot (opening gives 2 hoots).

Today it seems to have healed itself

Yes please fit it asap.

It was initially taken off the LX and the SLE gets the axe too.

How much money does M&M save by skimping on such cheap components??

Can be retro-fitted to all Refresh models of Scorpio. There is also a particle filter that M&M has introduced for the fresh air vent below the windscreen. You can retro-fit that too.

SST sir's ownership thread says about the AC Particle filter cleaning during the service. Again it is a VLX.

The one right behind\inside the glove box,correct?
SLE has it for sure.

[Jack Sparrow]

Yes thats the one. The particle filter is not there. I checked it again. SLE does not have one whereas my Innova G4 has it.

IIRC the Innova has a single-use paper filter while the Scorpio's is a reusable net.

Mine is a Feb 2010 vehicle, and it has the AC filter. Maybe M&M discontinued it sometime in 2011 or 2012.

@Jack Sparrow - There's also the possibility that the ASC technicians removed the AC filter in your vehicle for cleaning during a service and then forgot to put it back. Believe me, they are fully capable of such bone-headedness.

Absolutely right sir. I normally clean it every 15 days and was surprised to see the scorp without it.

Hi All,
Thx for the confirmation.
My SA confirmed last week that the filter does not come factory fitted in the SLE, however can be done if I want to.
Let me go to the service center and check other SLE's. If it is present, then I will ask for a free replacement.

Any idea on the cost of it so that I can pay and do not have to argue with them.

Thx for your help.
Rgds,
Karthik

Karthik, if I recall correctly, it costs Rs. 500/-, or it used to till the year before last!

Guys,

I need some help here. My Scopio VLX is has 4500 kmts and it has developed engine oil leakage. The leak found right under the fuel filter, I will post the pirctures later this evening. Reported this issue with Mahindra and TVS cochin took the vehicle kept it with them for two days mentioning they have addressed all the issues with the vehcile. There were a AC air leakage from the dash bboard close to drivers left knee. This is also not fixed. Vehicle used to show low oil pressure warining once in a while since I took delivery and TVS Cochin tried to fix it 3 times and failed. Now the engine oil leak is worrying me a lot. I dont want the incompetent guys at service centre do a trail and error wiith my vehicle once again. Can somebody please guide me to get it fixed.
I have escalated the issue to Mahindra, they are very poractive but the guys at service station has no clue what to do.

I presume you mean a leakage of engine oil from the Oil Filter (and not Fuel Filter, as you have mentioned?).

Leakage can happen with improper fitment of the OIl Filter - can be solved by retightening ir or changing it. But looking at the delay at the ASC end, maybe the threading is defective or damaged resulting in oil filter getting fitted properly.

[BMW-X5]

Thanks a lot. Oil filter was changed as they did first serivce too when they kept the vehicle for repair. I'm planning to be there in the workshop tomorrow when they take my vehicle tomorrow.

[adzegeek]

when i switch to 4wd High - the display starts showing 4WD Low. When the display is showing 4WD Low (and dial set at 4wd high), I can also feel that it is in Low range.

Any ideas from Gurus on what I should be telling the Service center guys to look at as I am sure when it goes to SC,it will play pranks and not replicate this problem.

Has happened 3-4 times in last one week but not consistently.

Cheers
