This get reinforced when I see the other happy LX owners on tbhp like adc, anujmishra, V&V who had an issueless ownership till now.

IMO in terms of electronics in think LX/EX/VX has are same except for 4x4 + LSD, ICE , interior options, Immobiliser, 3rd row A/c,ABS,Airbags . The core engine electronic is same for all and its engine electronics which has troubled more. As for issues whether mechanical or electrical/electronic can happen to any vehicle just hard luck where it happens.

I feel a regular inspection of vehicle can always avoid lots of hassles. One of the basic precaution i have taken for my safari is , i have never water washed the engine compartment. Once in 3/4 months get it air washed. Any additional gizmos,i always get the wiring separate from battery.

I got a call from KHT today. They mentioned that some selected batches of Safari have been identified for the new AC upgrade. Its more of a retrofit as the current AC which I have doesnt feel very powerful

Happy to see that Tata Motors has identified it as a problem in some of the selected vehicles and upgrading to a new AC fitting at no extra cost.

Wow !! What about 2010 batch ? I am sure, AC is no powerful in 2010 models as well

So all you 2010 and beyond owners who keep claiming "ac chills" should not go for this retrofit

I for one, have always felt the ac is not sufficient when compared to other cars, but have always heard the excuse from other safari owners saying it is a larger cabin, so my argument, if the cabin is larger, should not the manufacturer give a more powerful ac?

Mine is 2011 and I never found it chill enough. Probably some batch of faulty AC system comes in my Safari which TM is replacing now.

[anujmishra]

Please let us know is this retrofit applicable for September- 2010 models as well? I will call KHT today and will inquire.

Surprised to read this issue.

Usually we drive most of the time fully loaded with 7 members on board, never ever felt the need to switch ON the second row A/C even during scorching heat. the regular blower with 2 speed chills the car in no time.

So, the issue might be with post 2010 cars.

Maybe Pavan, but I doubt if you ever had a complaint or even a wee bit of a niggle on your Safari, yours seems to be the perfect car with the perfect owner.
