1.2 lakh km with my Compass SUV: Getting a thorough check-up done

Replaced a few parts in anticipation of a sudden upcoming long drive with the SUV.

BHPian arun_josie recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got a dent when parked on the road:

I am not sure where exactly this happened but spotted this dent later after moving from the spot of the incident. It was quite bad in such a way that the left side fender had moved towards the door and both were making contact while opening/closing the door. PPS guys helped to pull back the fender and also to a certain level they removed the dent by pushing from inside. I am yet to get it fixed completely. As per the service centre guys, it's either a replacement or removing the dent and repainting.

General Check-up:

An unexpected long drive came up and then got postponed at the last minute. I got a general checkup done in anticipation of this drive and replaced the below parts.

C-Mount Replacement:

During the last 2-3 weeks I was feeling some abnormal vibration on the steering while idling and even when starting the car. I had a doubt about the C-Mount as during one of the drives to Mangalore recently, I went over a speed breaker at a good speed. Most probably it would have got some damage then and later became worse. During this general checkup, the technician found a crack on this mount. So, I got this replaced.

After replacement, those abnormal vibrations disappeared.

This cost Rs 14,000/- (Approx)

Moved back to the OEM Wipers:

After trying out the Bosch wipers, I wanted to try Valeo wipers but due to time constraints, I moved back to the OEM ones as this is no match to the cheaper Bosch. OEM is very expensive, but the quality of these wipers is leagues ahead and also gives a better life.

This cost Rs 5,500/-

Air-Filter:

I got the air filter replaced as this was not replaced during the last service.

Overall bill came to Rs 21,000/-

Wheel Alignment/Wheel Balancing @ Madhus:

It was only 3K Kms since the last WA/WB, but I decided to get this done as well.

And finally a wash. ODO will hit 1,20,000 km any time.
