1,40,000 km with my beloved S-Cross 1.6: The experience so far

Vehicle continues to do what is asked of it and give a good mileage as well. As of now, there is no plan to replace the vehicle as I don't find the need to do so.

BHPian arvind71181 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Long pending update:

• The car has clocked 1,40,000 kilometres so far

• The timing belt and associated parts were changed at around the 1,25,000 km mark at a private garage since the service centres were quoting a very long waiting period for the parts

• They did not do a very good job of it as some minor details were overlooked which resulted in the engine oil sporadically leaking. Took the car to an authorized service centre and this was rectified

• The CEL lamp came up and it was diagnosed to be a brake switch issue as the cruise control was also not working. Part order was placed and swapped after about a week or so.

• Tyres were changed at the 1,32,000 km mark. I used the same brand *UC6) again as found them pretty good the first time around. This is the 4th set of tyres for the car. Swapped from JK to MC5 I think at the 30,000 mark then changed to UC6 at 80,000 and now at 1,32,000 km

• Performed the 1,30,000 at the 1,32,000 mark and will wait for another 2000 km to get the next service in

• Vehicle continues to do what is asked of it and give a good mileage as well. As of now, there is no plan to replace the vehicle as I don't find the need to do so

Here's to a trouble free ownership for the next 2 years or so (touch all woods!!)

ODO stands at 1,40,001 km.
