On enquiring with the rm, he said 8 is what is everyone is getting in Bangalore. Wanted to revalidate it with users in the group. |
My IS version is showing 3.07 or so and it started showing around 5kmpl from the day one, it keeps increasing slowly every day, every drive. Yesterday, I went on a bit longer drive, about 300kms and it from 13.5 to 15, it still shows about 15.x now.
I have done around 575kms now and the fueal guage shows at half, I'm very happy seeing that guage, but dont want to believe it until I calculate full tank to full tank, thats how I do the calculation every single time, got an app for calculating that way and it shows almost correct figures.

Would be taking the car to Sireesh to diagnose this issue. I did not see any fluid on the floor and the break fluid reservoir is a little below the maximum mark.

Thats not good, I guess yours is May2010 vehicle (C6E) and I'm in impression that most of the issues are fixed in May2010.
I'm very happy with the vehicle and performance for past one week now and dont really want to end the honeymoon, at the same time, also scared about all the issues I have been hearing about!
Today, I have been to the service station to get the wheel alignment done, I felt it was the famous issue where its dragged towards left. They interchanged the tyres in front and he said he did some more, went on a test ride with the mech and told him that its definately lot better than before but somehow I still feel very minute drag, he said its because of fwd, I didnt want to buy that but I kept quiet and told him it surely looks better, will check and come back to you.
I havent faced the break, clutch or any issues so far and hopefully will continue to enjoy that way.
I'm, however driving with lots of care, no hard breaking, no rapid acceleration, want to give some bead-in time for breaks while i'm breaking her in, also try to take it from low to high range of RPMs in each gears, stay there for a little while and come back, get to do these when I come back home late in the night.
I too felt that break is a bit soft when I was breaking on highway, this could be because I'm avoiding hard breaking and judging the situation well ahead of time (ladies sortta driving) so not really able to identify issues if there are, but once on highway, I felt its soft and could see a good breaking effect only after depressed the paddle further more.. all-in-all its been a good experience so far, hope not to see many issues, if they show up, I'm ready to work, just set those expectations clear for now.
one more question!
Does the reverse sound feature available to W6 folks! the mech told me its only for W8 folks and you wont get it, I told him that it can be activated with the latest firmware that you guys have but he said you have the latest (3.07)already.
