Ford Aspire TDCi after 1.20L km: Major service & overall repair costs

The car is mostly driven on the highway 80% of the time and is returning a fuel efficiency of 22-23 km/l.

BHPian auto_enthusiast recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I prefer getting the car serviced beforehand so got the service done this weekend when the car was at 1,19,700 kms.

Since my trusted SA who had been servicing my Aspire and previous-gen Figo for the past 9 years had left Ford A.S.C. and started his own workshop, I too decided to go with my SA and got the car serviced from him. Mobil oil was sourced by me from the authorized distributor and all other parts were sourced by my SA. Even though I trust him, he showed me that all the parts had FoMoCo embossed on them, thereby assuring the genuineness of the parts. Brake pads were changed for the first time when the car was at 50k kms and this one lasted 70k kms.

Below mentioned parts were replaced during this service:

  • Engine oil
  • Oil filter
  • Diesel filter
  • Air filter
  • Brake pads
  • Sump plug gasket.

Off late, the car is mostly driven on the highway 80% of the time and is returning a FE of 22-23 km/l with speeds hovering around 110-120. Rest, the car is performing brilliantly and I enjoy driving it, every time.

  1. Parts cost: Rs 4,500/-
  2. Labour charges: Rs 1,000/-
  3. Total amount paid: Rs 5,500/-(for this service)
  4. Total amount paid: Rs 59,200/- (till date)
