4 years & 20000kms with my Baleno MT: 6th service experience & costs

I have started feeling vibrations at the pedal when braking from 80kph and above.

BHPian forester recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The car continues to maintain its annual average running of around 5,000km, with the odo finally hitting the 20,000km mark on January 11 - almost four years into the ownership.

The sixth servicing was due, and sent the car to the erstwhile Maruti Service Masters, now managed by DD-Prem Motors, in Jehangirpuri, Delhi. Since this was as major service, the following things were changed:

• Engine Oil - 0W16 Shell
• Oil Filter - ending in K00 part number
• Air Filter
• Fuel Filter
• Spark plugs
• Brake Fluid
• Coolant
• PM2.5 AC cabin filter - cleaned
• Wheel balancing, Five-tyre rotation, and Wheel alignment - FOC
• Exterior buffing and polishing - FOC

The total bill came up to Rs 5,513, with the last two items offered free of cost by the service centre. The car was picked up and delivered as per committed time, and the work was done to satisfaction.

Battery health report:

Rear drum brakes cleaned:

Front disc brakes nearing end of life:

Pad thickness left around 4mm, good until the next service.

However, I have started feeling vibrations at the pedal when braking from 80kph and above. Might need to get the disc skimmed or replaced at the next interval. Must alter the driving style as well!

At the wheel balancing-alignment bay. Five-tyre rotation meticulously followed so far

Total spend 5,513/-

Some of the old parts duly returned by keeping in the boot
