You may complain that the refinement is poor but it does seem like there is nothing wrong with your car. |
I hope I am wrong here but our perception is shaped by the only diesel car we owned - the original indica purchased during 99. In spite of regular servicing , it progressively became louder .
If this is normal though , then compared to the corolla/innova diesel and the 6 year old skoda laura diesel we test drove , I will say refinement of those brands are noticeably better , especially at rpm below 2000 . The laura which my father's colleague drives makes next to no sound at idle . They are all in same price range and our decision to buy hyundai blind was due to the misconception that refinement across brand in a given price range will be largely similar . Quote:

I never raised the fuel quality issue at the service centre ( it would have given them an easy way out really ) but later , one of their own hinted that we should drive around and burn the present quantity and then tank up at Indian oil in time for our first service .There is no vibration or poor feedback from engine though , only sound is abnormal. The engine itself feels superb if we ignore the racket . Quote:

First car purchased without test drive and we kind of regret it ( not the car itself but choice of engine , we should have gone with petrol - we anyways have a second car for the mundane driving so mileage shouldn't have been a decisive factor ). However at time of booking , test ride was never possible because there were no test ride cars either in Siliguri or Bardhaman . And we were considering a new car for over 6 months and impulse got better of my us .
We asked the dealer if he can exchange for a petrol , he refused . Quote:

1. Keep the original dealer informed about all the issues that you faced with the car immediately and ask for a solution. If going back is not a feasibility, then, he will suggest you whom to contact in your town to get this rectified.
However, your Original dealer will definitely have a large stake and will get impacted if you publish the issue in social media. |
You are correct , father is indeed regretting not going for petrol . I think this is what is making it more difficult to come to terms with this car , he is confused why mileage(only reason to purchase diesel ) became so important when we were always going to retain the dzire for the mundane tasks .
We notified the original dealer , he is the one who got us the appointment with the Siliguri hyundai manager . I have also shared the video on hyundai's fb page and instead of deleting it , they contacted me via mail ( asked for car engine number ) so lets see.
