I don't think so. I have not experienced this problem in 51 k km of my XUV 500.

One thing they asked me to do was to keep the speed below 110.

The service center at Udaipur got the indicator to go and diagnosed the vacuum modulator as being faulty. He suggested the same thing to me for not going beyond 100-110.

Back in Delhi, at Mayapuri Mahindra (Sri Durga), they got the indicator again by reaching 130 kmph (on Mayapuri road... Beat that!!) and have now replaced the vacuum modulator under warranty.

I wanted to know if this is a recurring problem as I will be doing a trip again soon. Presently, the drive is ok, but haven't tested it at cruise speeds.

I dont think this has happened here to anyone, maybe just bad luck for you. Dont worry these things are bound to happen, after all its Mahindra

Vacuum modulator going kaput is fairly common. I personally know at least 5-6 people where the vacuum modulator has been found faulty and replaced. In my own car, it was replaced once based on the sound it was making (my RM said, its the first sign of impending failure).

Recently I was getting a ECL and loss of power. Again my RM's first guess was to replace the vacuum modulator. In this case, the vacuum modulator was not really faulty, but the point is, its fairly common and that's why my RM jumped to that conclusion.

Thanks SDP. So did you also get an ECL when cruising at 120+ or are there other scenarios as well when this could happen?

Also, if this happens in the middle of nowhere (like some place in Rajasthan) is it usually ok to drive along slowly till you reach an ok location?

A leak in turbo-hose could also be a reason. A turbo failure itself could be another reason.

As per my understanding, there is no problem to drive at slow speeds when this happens. In case of a turbo or leakage from hose, the XUV does struggle on uphill roads and overtaking needs to be planned keeping the reduced available power in mind.

Just wondering if anyone has installed/bought a cargo cover for the XUV. I see there are slots in the back (provision given to install one). Did some research but didn't find anything online...

Faced my first niggle in close to 9 months of owning XUV, though a minor one.

The wiper spray doesnt work - found this when I tried to clean the windshield during a long drive. It was working fine earlier. I thought that the water reservoir would have run dry or that some pipe would have got cut due to rodents.

After reaching home, checked that the pump is starting, water reservoir is full but the water is not being pumped. No loose connections or breakage in the pipe anywhere.

Looks like I need to visit the service center for resolving the issue. I suspect an airlock, though am not sure how this could happen considering I never let the water reservoir run dry.

Use a safety pin and open up the holes of the sprays. Thats what happens all the time.

Did you check the joint inside the bonnet, close to the windscreen. There is spring in that joint, which might be the culprit. I had faced issue with the throw and at the service center they removed that spring and everything was normal after that. I would recommend you to remove once and see if it works fine, so that you don't have to visit the service center.

.

Failed water-sprayer pump is pretty common niggle. The one in my car has been replaced twice already.

I am sure this is not the first time they see these kind of sunroof issue in XUV, i am going to complain them one more time and will write to Mahindra customer care about this issue. we should not see these issues in 20 lac car.

I got the sunroof issue attended by tvs service in kochi yesterday.They replaced the rubber beadings on either side and issue is fixed.The sunroof now opens smoothly.it is much better than when the car was brand new.Mahindra would have identified the part issue and released a better one.Please get yours checked as well if not fixed yet.

I had the same issue on my 2014 W8. They changed vacuum modulator which did not solve the problem and later changed the turbo as well.

Hi friends.
Can some one tell me/advise about the following modifications of XUV5OO.
1. Tein suspension springs.
2. Increasing Ground clearance possibilities.
3. Diesel Tronic installation
Thanks

Hi SDP, I got an ECL while doing about 100+ on a recent travel. As a matter of fact I am sitting at the service centre right now and have been told that the ECU indicates a clogged Air filter. They are replacing the same and will test again. The vehicle response didn't change post the ECL lamp coming on so I didn't doubt a problem with the turbo and neither did any other major light turn on. So I drove it about 100 KMS and today brought it to the service centre. Waiting for their final verdict. I guess at such times I really feel the need for an OBD device which can atleast tell me if I can drive further or should I tow the vehicle without causing further damage.
