| ![]() IMHO, having driven the same engine 1.3 MJD with VGT on my Manza, the issue seems to do more with turbo lag on the FIAT MJD engine vis.a.vis a much more linear innova engine than the low end torque per se. Though the peak torque of the 1.3MJD VGT is at 1750 rpm, the MJD VGT is unresponsive until 1500 rpm and one needs to keep the engine on the boil by downshifting. The excellent midrange makes it a good high way cruiser |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Liked this video review comparison of Innova vis-a-vis Ertiga on various aspects. Quite informative for somebody comparing both and looking for taking decision based upon their standing based on those aspects apart from costing difference. |

| ![]() Looked at Ertiga over the weekend and did not even TD it, after looking at the inside space. 3rd row seating position is definitely better than innova for 2 people, however I'm not sure if it can fit all those airport bags with the 3rd row folded down. The waiting period is another let down - now the sales guy quoted 6+ months for VDI (during my first visit 10 days ago before the Manesar plat incident, he quoted 2 months waiting period for VDI). TD'ed Duster, but again, the quoted waiting period of 4 to 5 months is a let down. Looked at Xylo E9 today (though I ruled it out in the first round due to bad ride quality) as I'm running out of options. It offers good value for money. It ticks all the boxes for me from space and seating configuration point of view. Need to TD it yet. Looks like I have to settle for either Innova or Xylo. Interestignly, the SE at Maruti was trying to convince me to buy SX4 diesel or Ertiga LXI. Did anyone get new delivery timelines for Ertiga diesel variants, after the Manesar plant incident? I tried to reason with the sales guy on why suddenly the waiting period jumped from 2 months to 6 months for VDI and he was trying to give some vague logic that is not convincing. |

| ![]() Well, I've moved to Hyderabad 4 months ago, hence this need for a new car/MPV. I guess I need to update my location details in my T-BHP profile ![]() swiftdiesel, when I told the SE that Ertiga is not produced at Manesar, he acknowledged that fact and gave some weird logic, which didn't make much sense to me. His logic is something like, since the production stopped at Manesar, they have more pressure at the other plant to deliver more vehicles for other variants (like Swift et. al.) and hence resulted in more waiting period for Ertiga. |

| ![]() Most probably the dealer has by-passed you and given deliveries to other customers! The VDi was and still is (with some dealers) readily available off the shelf. Of course it's the pushy customers that get prioritized at MSIL. |

| ![]() My dealer is also repeating the same reason that since Manesar has been locked out and the diesel engine is manufactured there, the deliveries for VDI have also been stopped/delayed. If I remember correctly, wasn't the MJD being manufactured at a seperate dedicated facility itself? Is there any way we can check this up with MSL directly? Regards, Jaspreet Singh |

| ![]() Does Ertiga come with a pollen filter (also called AC filter sometimes. This is a air filter for the air that is circulated into cabin from outside when in fresh air mode). Does it have provision to add one? I looked at the manual but did not find mention of one. I wanted to know how to change it or clean it if there is one (I hope so). SX4 and Swift Dzire both have this AFAIK. |

The above is from Indonesia, where Ertiga comes with a AC filter I followed those instructions, and found there is no AC filter, but there is provision to put one. The slot is empty and closed with a removable plastic piece. Next I need to find out if there is one available which fits the slot. If any SX4/swift/dzire owners have accessed their AC filter, can you please tell if the one in their car looks similar to this. Last edited by mohan41 : 4th August 2012 at 11:40. | |
