So what can else be wrong with my vehicle. I have no power loss of any kind or any black or white smoke.
I will be taking vehicle to trivandrum motors on 25th march. Do share your thoughts. I have no oil leakage any where. I have seen level drop in coolant. i think thats normal since i have it from beginning. |
Do you mean less than half mark for a mere 3000kms? Can you share a picture of the dip stick? Was oil drained and fresh oil used post the oil separator change or was only topup done? Quote:

That's why they recommend oil change every six months with cheaper mineral oil. The guy I bought it from also had a 6 month oil change schedule. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/82....html?page=208
Manuals on foreign sites mention this as a normal thing. In India it is seen as poor customer experience so ASS hides the fact.
If there's no loss of power, no need to worry about something that's not broken. |
Valid point you have mentioned, but whatever harryms claims as consumption looks like a little too much. And on the CI4 mineral that you have switched over to, what oil are you using and how happy are you with them? I believe CI4 mineral will be 15w40 if I'm not mistaken. Quote:

3. Fog lamps
4. Chrome? In a dilemma. The car is already silver in color. I am in 2 minds about getting it done. Adding chrome will give a classy and more upmarket feel. I also feel let me delay it for a year or two till i get bored of the current avatar and give it a midlife makeover.
5. Seat covers are company ones, biege and fabric. Family asking me to get seat covers. I feel add on seat covers even the ones made by Fiat wont fit as great as the company fit. I plan to drop this. Will it lead to the seat covers getting soiled over a period of time and look ugly?
6. I am badly in need for atleast 2 bottle holders. Ideas on how it can be done? My Ford Fiesta easily accommodates 4 1 litre bottles in the front 2 doors.
7. The dealer gave me foot mats with Linea written over them. He admitted they are not Fiat genuine. They keep moving from the place they are supposed to be in. Cost of getting Fiat genuine ones?
8. I already got the spare wheel upgraded to 175 from the company given 165. I didn't want to restrict speeds to 80 kmph after a tyre change and remind myself to change soon.
9. Is it possible to upgrade the manual ac to auto ac? |
Points 1 to 4, I see no issues
For seat covers, I will strongly recommend to get custom fabric/art-leather/leather based on your budget.
Bottle holders, only way is to source one of those slim bottles. Not much can be done.
Floor mats, you have 2 options. Either get better ones which come with spike like base/velcro which will hold onto the carpet or the cheaper way is to buy velcro and stitch/paste under the cut mats so that it will hold on to the carpet.
Point 9, definitely not possible!
