Well it is hard to mean something in this case you know? For me, it so happened that switching to HP pump helped my cause.

I noticed something today (never noticed earlier due to various reasons) with my AC:

When I changed the switch from outside air to recircultation, the air speed increased. Earlier I used to use fan speed at 1, today it was at 3 - at 1 also now I can notice some difference (it is very small) earlier I couldn't detect any difference at all.

^^ Is this your first diesel vehicle? Diesels have huge low end torque and the tuning of the engine would such that the vehicle would chug along rather than stall when you take your leg off the A pedal. It just requires some time to getting used to.

No Anil this is not First Disel vehicle I am driving, I use to Drive our TATA 1210 SE Truck occasionally in 80s just for fun but its all together different beast and driving was restricted to lonely roads only. Yes I am driving Diesel Car for First time for routine commute in city road conditions. First of all I am not acquainted with bigger size of Figo compared to M800 and engine characteristics are also different. I am just trying to explore it on factors like how it accelerates, how it chugs in slow moving city traffic etc. etc.

I am not at all worried or doubtful that car has any problems but I am trying to accelerate my learning process. Day by day i am getting habituated to it and I can use now 2nd gear as you guys have mentioned with help of clutch and breaks without stalling it. I think in another weeks time I will be able to drive it in city as I used to drive M800. On highways I could drive it at home.

Do not worry about the issues discussed here and enjoy your car, we are here after having some nice long drives to different locations AND also discuss the negatives of the car. There is no point in sweating about the issues which you most probably do not have.

And do not use Turbojet or any other such premium diesels, it is just plain diesel from any reputed (preferable COCO pump) always. Enjoy your car!

Well I have to search for COCO pump but the HP pump where usually used to do tank full M800, is owned by a Trust Trustee who spends 25% of the profit to charity, as per signboard put there. I have experienced smoothness in engine sound and increased pickup when filled petrol in my M800 at that pump for last decade. I will continue Filling diesel at that Pump.

@ whitelion - the opinion is different here. Most owners say " Ford manuals & its illustrations are light years ahead than Maruti's".

I am finding Audio manual to be bit difficult to understand, it may be provided by Audio OEM. I have not started reading Figo manual yet. I will surely post my opinion on that later.

As Anil says it is the time for you to enjoy the new car and the niggles highlighted are just inconveniences.

Thanks to both of you. I am enjoying car no doubts. I feel that its really pleasant to drive on highways. I think Gemi has perfectly named it as "Mile Cruncher" there was absolutely no fatigue when we drove it from Pune to Kolhapur (250 KM), immediately after delivery.

Thanks :)

Oh good if there are rear fog lamps then My figo will definitely get one pair of those.

The 6 speed intermittent wiper is given the boot too, replaced by 3 speed one. Was going through Ford website checking out the change in specs.

Guys, If there is a provision, then its a 10 min DIY job. Check this - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...ml#post2428539 . With max total cost = ~100 bucks
I used it for brake lights, but you can also use it for fog lamps:(

I discovered a small problem with my figo today.
When I change gear basically 1-2-3 there is a squeak that is heard.
This is not present when I shift down only when I shift up. Also happens when mostly I am in a hurry. I am sure it is not from the gearbox or anything like that. I mean seems to be some small problem to me (cos I need to concentrate to hear the noise but it is there).
Has anybody faced such a problem ?

Thanks. For Fog, It has to be connected to the positive of the reverse light and negative (which is always black). Correct if I am wrong.



By any chance did you downshift without pressing the clutch fully (sometimes we tend to do). Try also without starting the engine and also in idle.

No RGK. I tried it many times. I do not change the gears without the clutch. Anyways I concentrate and slot the gear (with clutch obviously) and leave the gear with a jerk and squeal or squeak is heard.

I am doubting the engine mount. I think i will ask the A.S.S guys to reset the engine mounts or atleast check it out.
