| Re: 2nd Free Service Done Quote:
Don't know about Fiat but most manufacturers replace engine oil at every free service. So, if that is taken into account, ~1k for mineral engine oil (~1800 is synthetic) ~2-3k for the oil/fuel/air filter. And the rest taxes. So, going by the above, 5600 could be possible. But, are oil/fuel and a/c (!) filters changed by Fiat during 2nd free service?? Honda doesn't change them. Just engine oil. | |

for Changing Oil, Fuel and AC filter!

By the way I called up the SA and told him that 'Nothing other then usual 2nd service bare minimum recommended stuff should be changed'. He said that's what they are going to do and Rs.5600/- is an estimate and they will provide me breakup of the same. Forgot to mention that SA called me at 3:30PM to inform me that they are going to 'change/upgrade' AC kit as per Fiats recommendation. I had asked him about the same before leaving my car with him and he said 'not required'!! He also informed me that I will get my car back only on Thursday 27th as they have to work on AC. He mentioned that the AC stuff worth Rs. 35K and is covered under warranty. He said they will have to take the car for a spin, some 60KM's after fixing AC. I told him, I will accompany their tech. Lets see what surprises stored for me. Wish me and my car good luck  . I took printout of all the threads, including this thread, where members have mention their 2nd service cost. Just in case  Last edited by HammerHead : 25th January 2011 at 18:13. | |

At least for 2nd n 3rd free service, all they did for the City was engine oil change. Cost of these 2 services : Rs. 980 (mineral oil). But I remember Opel changing filters during Corsa's free services. @ HammerHead : Btw, what's with the A/c kit upgrade? Is it being done for GP 1.4 or your's is an exception. | |

I actually paid about 3.4k for 2nd free service, that included 4 litre oil (have about 0.5 ltr at home), ac filter, oil filter etc. But i did ask them about the AC kit change but they declined saying its not needed. Did you get it replaced, this is confusing as I thought all GP 1.4s needed them and asked them specifically but they said no. Should I take it to them again? Or is it that Fiat is doing this replacement in phases in certain locations only. Last edited by samsan02 : 27th January 2011 at 18:03. | |

Yes they are replacing AC kit. I haven't got my car yet. When I called the SA at around 4:00PM today to check the status and he asked for one more day!! He said my car will be ready by 4-5PM tomorrow. I'm planning to take off tomorrow and go to the service center early morning and leave that place only after taking my car back. Its so frustrating! Its not that I need my car badly but then these guys should at least know how much time it takes for 2nd service. After all mine is not the first car they are servicing  Regarding AC kit, I would suggest you to get in touch with Fiat customer support to know if they are doing this replacement in phases. I don't think it is applicable only for certain locations. | |

| Quick Update & they spilled some oil on my front seats Hi Guys, Here is a quick update and I also need some suggestions. I had this squeaky noise coming from left rear suspension, finally I took it to the service center after i was unable to get it rectified on my own using some oiling. Looks like some strut pads were replaced as part of warranty and the issue seems to have got resolved for now. No more noise coming but will wait and watch till I close this issue with them. Also got the AC retrofitted and the change I feel is increased fan speed and a slightly faster cooling. But overall AC felt much better now than it was earlier. Earlier it use to take some time before you can feel the chill but now its faster for sure at the same fan speed bar levels. Its been a week since I got these issues resolved. Both issues seems to be taken care of, the AC is definitely better than it use to be earlier, and I haven't seen any drop in mileage figures I still get around 12.2 to 12.4 on the MID. Now the worst part, Its been a week since I got the vehicle back, and on that day at service center they had accidentally spilled some oil on front seats. Front passenger seat is worse. After that they had cleaned it using 3M foam. They did mention it when I took delivery last week that its their mistake and it has been reported to the higher ups about it. I was like annoyed but looking at the thing it can happen to anyone or anywhere. I keep the interiors in good shape always and this had to happen. They assured me that some remedy will be taken. First they said they may as well replace the entire seats and it will be done by concorde free of cost, but now they are saying that they may provide some seat covers. I told them that its annoying for me to use the car always with some polythene sheets and newspapers everytime i take it out to go somewhere. What do you guys suggest, what is the best feasible thing to ask for. The seats are still sticky with the oil mess and getting original factory fitted seats may take some time as well, if they don't have it in stock with them. And these guys may insist to take the seat cover option as it may cost them less. But choosing the right seat cover from what they might have in stock is another issue as it may spoil the interior look. Last edited by samsan02 : 16th February 2011 at 12:05. |
