+1 on what Parag said. Buy a cover first and see if it fits well. You said the mounting fins sre damaged, can you post some photos?? You may be able to do some fevikwik fixes. The other cheaper option is to get a non motorized mirror instead of the motorized one on your car. You can also explore the option of buying a non motorized one and using those parts, fix your motorized one. | |

| ![]() I need a small help here regarding my Ertiga Vxi. Recently while applying light brakes I am hearing some sort of frictional sound inside cabin. It is something like if I lightly pump the brakes it sounds like a small beep (very light) but when the brake is deep pressed it goes away. It is consistent. Another observation is if I do a cold start this does not come out immediately. After a drive of say 4-5 KMs it starts. It happened that I went to MSS (Pratham Motors ORR) and on way it was not heard. Again the SA tried to reproduce, it was not heard. But they cleaned the brakes. As soon as I started back, after 3-4 Kms it started reappearing. Could somebody please help to understand the real issue here? Could it be just friction or something worse?

What is the condition of brake pads and rotors? Do you have a ABS model or non ABS model? if ABS model, what is the status of the check ABS light while running? DId you scan OBD for any error codes? | |

SA had told that it won't be urgent and can be rectified when I leave car for service. For others, there is a grinding noise while applying light brake(coming from front left wheel in my case). It immediately goes away if I increase brake pressure. Bit irritating if the cabin is silent. Mine is a Vdi | |

Mine is October 2016 Vxi Model with ABS. No lights are coming up. Will get the OBD scanned over weekend. Brakes are all fine according to SA. Quote:
Bit concerned though since I am not the alone person seeing this kind of problem. | ||

In this case the fix is to replace the brake rod bush(and if needed the brake rod itself) not sure about the technical aspects but he quoted me around 500rs. As i had to rush elsewhere i moved on, Also the issue vanished and re-appeared 2 weeks back for which he told on phone not to worry and drop by when i have time. If you can, just get it repaired. I am just delaying due to busy schedule. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Today i got the car checked again with my regular SA and he diagnosed the noise during braking as that from Bearing which is beginning to show its age. That seem to be the cause of grinding noise and he recommended me to change it within a month or two. Nothing serious though. being ABS model it seems it costs around 2-3K to get the work done. |

| ![]() I was thinking of getting an Ertiga for my business. The vehicle would have heavy usage, 150kms per day with 80% being city driving, with 5-6 people sitting in it and the AC on full time. The base model Lxi/Ldi would be enough. I was wondering if a few owners could give their real world figures for both the petrol and diesel in city usage. I've been told numbers ranging from 12-15 for petrol and 15-18 for diesel. Both seem a little high considering my usage. The price difference between the two models after all discounts is a little over 2.5lakh. My key requirements are space and mileage. The space is not an issue in the Eritga but the mileage is unclear. Do you think the Ertiga makes sense? Thanks in advance. |

In terms of mileage, with 5-6 people on board, AC working all the times, you can certainly expect FE anywhere between 15-17 KMPL in thick traffic and 14-16 KMPL in Bumper to bumper traffic and 12-14 KMPL In crawling traffic all the times; This is for the Diesel variant. | |

Consider that as all the 7 seats will be occupied. The 12-15 of the petrol variant can fall to 10 in very heavy traffic with Ac. | |

Any idea if there's a different pricing for services? I know something like a clutch assembly will be cheaper for a petrol car vs a diesel car. Will the oil costs and filter cost be less in a petrol car? | ||
