Namaste! Hello folks,
My name is Dinesh, 26, living in Mumbai with my parents and wife.
I recently bought a Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI and I am keen to learn on how to maintain my car in the best possible way.
I always had passion for cars; it started when my elder brother bought himself a Premier 118 NE back in 1998. As a kid, I always occupied the front seat and would pay all my attention in seeing my brother drive.
Earlier this year in March, I bought a second hand Maruti Zen, which I utilized to practice driving. My first longest trip in Zen was Mumbai-Lavasa-Mumbai (yes, in a 15 year old car).
When my wife & I were confident enough that we can drive well, we went for this new Swift in Oct'14. It has been about 1 month and the car is already 1000 kms driven. This Sunday, I had taken my new car to Malshej Ghat & Murbad for an outing with my office colleagues. It was fun driving! Yesterday was the first servicing of the car.
Working with a Telecom comnpany since last 7 years, I am a smartphone enthusiast. What I bring aboard is my knowledge about computers (hardware) & mobile operating systems (Android, iOS).
What I'd like to take from this forum is some in-depth information on various car engines, how they function, how to maintain the car and things to do before going on a long trip.
Happy Journey!
