btw there should be a protocol for taking a perfect TD within a short time!(just like the Pre-Delivery Inspection list!)

Thanks again

No problemo bro!

There are a few points which I usually check in a car when I test drive it. You can make a list beforehand. That should help you maximize gains from the TD.

Congrats.How abt painting the grill black.Looks good for light background.

EssYouWe · 5th October 2009, 20:52

Thanks!

Black would have looked awesome with red. Wouldn't it?

Has anyone done it here yet?

Does it happen around 2,000rpm? As it happens in my car at that rpm and as you said, when the a/c is on.

This is happening with my 1.4 punto also ( more when A/C is on. but its not compressor). Concorde( Bangalore ) guys checked for errors using a system and found none. He also found it to be normal. I think its usual thing with 1.4 petrol punto.

Between, I was always filling IOC petrol . I even tried changing to BP , still its the same effect

Post 1st servicing this has almost gone in my 1.4. Anyone else noticed it after 1st servicing?

Sujai · 18th November 2009, 14:29

First service is done for my car. But that lag is still there

EssYouWe · 18th November 2009, 16:57

The car's first service is almost due.

I'll ask my brother about the problem and update the thread.

Ess: Any update on the car??

EssYouWe · 25th December 2009, 00:56

My brother is getting it serviced this saturday.

Will post a detailed report then.

Cheers!

EssYouWe · 26th December 2009, 16:12

Update:

The car had its first service today.

The engine oil was replaced at my insistence. The SA threatened that it would void the warranty, only when I asked him to give it in writing did he quit.

They were vociferous against the oil change. Anyways, there were no problems with the car.

The clutch cylinder sleeve job has been done under warranty.

The total charges were around Rs.2500. Which was mainly because of the oil.

My brother tells me that the lack of power at low rpms in the 2nd gear has improved. The lag is reducing according to him. He also tells me that gear shifts and in-gear acceleration is a lot smoother.
He recently went for a 700km drive and did not face any issues with the car. He was all praises for the handling and high-speed stability.

Will update with a few pics soon.

Cheers!

Lovely pics, and good to know that the engine has improved now. Do report the mileage figures after the oil change.

EssYouWe · 26th December 2009, 21:14

Thanks a lot guys!

The pre-oil change efficiency figures hovered around 12 kmpl. Lets see where they go now! Will keep updating the thread.

Thanks again!

EssYouWe · 27th December 2009, 15:54

I got an update from my brother on the 2nd gear's initial lag. He says that although is has reduced appreciably, it is still present. Though it might just be because he was looking for it.

Any updates on that front from any 1.4 Punto/Linea owners?
