I had fitted after market antenna and it had some quality issues + water started leaking. Later went for OEM antenna and it works fine.

Good thread people. Spark owners thread. I remember reading posts from SPARKLed and Latheesh during the time before/after we brought our Sparky home - Sep 2009. And now they are here and some more folks. Good. Decarbonization done in the 6th service. The 7th service got done last week. This time it was front wheel bearing worth 1500 changed. It was noisy on each rotation. They changed the wiper blades as well. The bill added to 2.5K but had to pay nothing. It took 3 days though. Was there anything noticeable changed / done during your services?

Hi Guys, How often do we need to rotate/interchange the tyres to make the Wear & Tear even ?
Any tips to increase the AC performance.
I have a 2009 Spark PS.

I am looking for replacement of A/C temperature control knob,which was broken by Authorised Service Centre.(During gas recharging).
They dont have spare and unable to replace it.Only the whole temp control mechanism costing about₹3000 needs to be replaced.As such,Mechanic has set the temp knob in the middle setting(constant) and asked me not to adjust.

.
Obviously the cooling temp needs to be varied as per the requirements of climate condition.How can he suggest this?
Now,I need the replacement Temp Control knob.Where can I get it online/offline? Knob of any other model car will suit?
Excuse me for long post.Thanks
