MOD'S PLEASE UPDATE THE THREAD TITLE to "Getz CRDi- Impressions post 2nd Service & Pete's"
hi got the second service for my Getz done at 9000 Km covered in exactly 6 months.
Service was done pretty bad at Advaith SC on Outer ring road, so I got them take the car back and sort out all the issues that I had pointed out and a few more too.
The car was given back to me with the issues sorted out and was very satisfied with the way my car moved post this 2nd or the 2nd service.
The issues resolved were
1. Front Bumper realignment and head light setting - sorted out
2. Dashboard noise - done but still a small sound comes up on bad roads
3. Mileage and tuning check - Looks like mileage has improved by 2 kmpl will need to do the empty to empty check
4. Fuel filter light - this never came up if I remember right for the first 6 months the second time they told me this light comes on and goes off after 5 seconds and this is normal, other Getz users pls confirm if this is the same with you too.
5. Air con check - done its back to its original performance now
6. red color patchup on minor scratches - done
Other things done as part of the 2nd service were
1. Oil Supplement 377.77
2. Engine Oil 1012.85
3. Filter cartridge 1309.5
4. Service oil Filter 307.27
5. WU Rapid windscreen cleaner 88.88
6. Sticker WHL. WTS???? 222.69
7. Consumables 100
8. Antirust treatment 2800
9. Wheel Balancing 220
10. Wheel Alignment 275
Total including VAT 7843
Next thing got an used Pete's from Harikumar which was on sale in the Classified's section. He was kind enough to come to my office and install the box and give me all the required info on installing and removing it when I give the car for service the next time round
Next planned is a Green filter stock replacement or K&N do not know which one is better - any suggestions.
And tyre upgrades to 205/50/15 which again is a deal I got on the TBHP Classifieds
Performance post Pete's:
1. The car feels a lot smoother, is takes our Banglore humungous speed breakers in the second gear.
2. The turbo lag is reduced significantly but not eliminated as claimed by Hari
3. Have not tried high speed runs to check on the top speed and approx 0-100 sprints will do so soon.
4. I felt the car getting or moving faster than before, not sure its my perception or the car is really moving better.
Though I've felt the above changes, can anybody give me some gyaan on how do I make out if the car performane has really improved. Is there data as to whats the Getz/Verna CRDi performance at various gears with and without Pete's to check if the same holds good on my car too???
