NOTE: I have run around 35K kms on these and the tread still looks great for another 20K kms at least. Last edited by rajshenoy : 11th June 2019 at 13:04. | |

| ![]() Recent updates: 1. Tyres: Changed the stock MRF tyres at 67000 kms to Michelin XM2+ after reading reviews & suggestions from Maruti Ertiga : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread. Driven 350 kms till now and the new tyres are silent and comfortable. I went for the stock size 185/65/R15 2. Fog lamp: One fog lamp went kaput and when I checked with MASS in Chennai they quoted Rs.600 for the MGA fog lamp. I ordered Bosch fog lamp from Amazon for Rs.254. Replaced it by myself and the new fog lamp lights up well and it seems to be original Bosch product. Stock lamp: ![]() Bosch lamp: ![]() |

| ![]() 90k ownership review: My 2017 Ertiga Green(CNG+Petrol) I had bought my ertiga in 2017 August i.e. exactly 3 years back. After a lot of arguments with my wife and parents, I settled on this vehicle. And proved myself to be a value-for-money person. ![]() Performance: Absolutely no issues with engine performance and the car as a whole. Happy with my decision. I have a fair amount of complaint on the ride quality and the cabin noise though. Nevertheless, I've made peace with it and moved on with enjoying my vehicle. I'm an avid driver and love long drives and exploring new places. Tyres: My stock JY Tyres are still alright for another 5k and I was happily shocked to know this after looking at JK Tyre reviews. I've always maintained the recommended tyre pressure and I hope that might be one reason for it's life. One thing which bothers me since recent times is the ratrling sound of the 2nd row seat. I'm yet to figure out a solution to it as ratrling sound is something I can't make peace with. Any suggestions on this are welcome. Cheers! |

| ![]() Guys, I have been searching for this limited edition grille for my 1st gen Ertiga. MASS had no clue and said its not possible for them. Boodmo also has no such item when I last checked. Any clue from where I could possibly get hold of one ? ![]() |

| ![]() Hello fellow BHPians, I recently completed servicing my Ertiga ZDi 2014 model with 46466 kms on the odometer. Ideally, I should have serviced my vehicle at the 50K mark, but since I am planning to drive to Delhi shortly, I opted for an early service. Also, there were a few issues that I was facing with the vehicle that needed attention. The car has now been serviced and is running smoothly, however, I need some help/clarifications on some points. Hopefully fellow BHPians would be able to help me out.

Also, taking out the caliper assembly is not any laborious over simply greasing the pins for which you were additionally charged. The service center (as usual) took advantage of the job to be done and charged you miscellaneous labor. 331 for front Brake pad replacement while you were already charged 531 for caliper assy R/R is robbery. Please escalate this and get this sorted to your satisfaction. Quote:
I have personally preferred to replace the pads based on the braking performance as well as any unusual noises they make while they are at the end of the their lives. Even with substantial material left, the asbestos can become hard and result in noisy or juddery braking. So unless you had trouble with braking, you should not have gone for a replacement considering there was still enough life left with the pads.

| ![]() Paragbhai, I remember you have installed the relay for 90/100 watt bulbs in your Ertiga. I too am looking for something similar. Could you please help me to buy it either in Bangalore or online? To be honest I have only heard about it and never seen one yet. Also please advise on what bulbs brand to go for. Also if that assembly is removable, especially before going for a service to keep the warranty intact, do we need to replace the bulbs back to 55/60 watts, just in case the service person tries to run heavy wattage bulbs with default wiring? I feel it is a high time for me to go for this assembly as night driving is becoming a real nightmare in recent rainy days. I am driving blind sometimes ![]() |

The job would take less than 20 minutes and not cost you more than 1200/-. Quote:

Why am I explaining all of this? It is because you should know how easy or difficult it is to remove this kit before every service and fit it back ![]() I put this kit within the first 10k Kms of my ownership and have been using this ever since. The only reason I fit this without much thoughts is because I have the same set-up on my WagonR too and I knew the installation was clean, the grounding was perfect and that the kit was of good quality and bulbs were genuine. I would not care about the service center putting a remark after every service in the bill that I pay. In fact, even today when the car is less than 1500km away from 200,000 Kms, the service center puts remarks like "Horn-Outside fitted", "Fog Lamp-Outside Fitted" etc but I let them follow their SOPs without bothering anything. If you are too worried about warranty claims and are apprehensive about this install, please do not attempt one. That is my honest advise. Otherwise, for a simple car like Ertiga with not so complex electrical and electronics system, it will happily embrace this additional wiring kit. Let me know and then I shall share further details here. I just realised that you had asked the same query 3 years before and I had replied you too: Quote:

| ![]() Recently did a 40k service of Ertiga 2015 petrol at FNG. Used 5W30 shell oil, Purolator oil filter, 75W90 shell maruti transmission oil,TVS brake pads. Costed 4000 including parts.1100 was labour. I have attached photo the old brake pads where one pad had worn more than other on both left and right side. I thought normally both should have even wear. Is this uneven wear abnormal ? Something I need to check? BHPians please advise.Thanks |

| ![]() Sold my Tata Safari in 2019 as it was nearing the 10 year mark and I live in Delhi NCR. Then covid happened - now I WFH full time and I do not need a car - so didn't buy anything. My wife drives a Ciaz and we use that as a family car which works well. My parents are in their 80s and they have a 2016 ertiga vxi with only 16k km on the odo and since they really don't use that car anymore, its been gifted to me. They bought the vxi and not the zxi since it was to be chauffeur driven. Now since I would be driving it, I need a few more creature comforts. Although there are many tempting upgrades in the market, I don't particularly fancy having another EMI and this car suits my purpose well for running around town and the occasional full family drive/dinner. Plus with under 20k on the odo, maintained very well, its practically new - tho dated. Exteriors I don't want to tamper with, I just want to make it drive a bit better with a few creature comforts. I have a budget of around 75k and I request you to share your ideas and recommendations on things I can do. So far my Wishlist is the following: 1. Better Audio system 2. Reverse Camera Thank you |

| ![]() Since it is a 2016 car, time had come for change of tires. This is something where you can make the drive more comfortable by choosing right tires and even doing an upsize too with alloys. A good display with reverse camera, parking monitor system must be installed. Seat covers can be considered, again seeing the age of the vehicle. These are the things coming to my mind, what I will do, if I am in your place. |

If it is the later, I would suggest the Tire upgrade. Since they are 5+ years already and hardly used, they tend to get hard. My recommendation will be ICE package (HU with Android Auto / Car Play + Speakers + Damping) for 50k and 20-25k for tires EDIT: Took a long time to submit the post and commonman covered the same content already ![]() | |
