What is still bugging me is the fact that if it was purely a brake pad issue then the sounds should have come only on braking but there was one sound coming whenever the car was moving. This sound can not possibly come due to brake pads and hence am not sure if brake pads will solve the problem completely. If that squeaking sound remains then might require further investigation.

Source of leakage of gas - Roof AC

From quite some time I had been hearing some gas sounds every time roof AC was working. Repeatedly I informed during service, and the answer given was that roof AC will always make some sound.
Looks like whatever tiny issue was there became a major issue and gas leaked.
If it had happened a month earlier I would have gotten warranty replacement!

So guys, if you have roof AC in your car and its under warranty, start using it every time you switch on AC. If any problem is building up, it will come up sooner, and you can same money

Same issue for me but leave was at the junction from where the pipe goes up. Tube got corroded coz of waste(?) water from AC.

Also if I am going to change bearings is there something different for a 4wd Safari as compared to a 2wd given that this is a live axle. Another thing is that I don't see any increase in rolling resistance or any pull towards the left while rolling or braking.

Thoughts?

Last time when I inquired about the rear wheel bearings TASC said that the rear wheel has 4 bearings each costing some 200-250Rs that makes only 1000Rs for rear wheel. How could the figure reach 10000Rs.

Its covered under extended warranty. So take her to the service center and see.

thought as much. and in my infinite wisdom, I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!!

shall duck under tomorrow. the rains in delhi make getting under ANYTHING a really big pain in the 'nether' regions.

yeah. according to TASS, the whole clutch replacement is about 14k and with my 3rd service due, that kinda takes the dent to the pocket in the region of 30k odd. my pocket (or lack thereof) is screaming blue murder.

shall try and get the ruddy thing done outside, and my gut is that it should probably set me back by a grand or two at the outermost. (fingers crossed of course!)

cheers guys.

bIte tHe bulLet : shall duck under tomorrow.

Check inside first - above the clutch pedal. Trace it out. M/c should be approx 1.5k (that's what it was for the Sumo).

I changed the bearings for 2 wheels, It cost Rs. 1000 approx. per bearing I guess.

Master cylinder will be approx. 2k, slave around 1k. Provided the design in your vehicle is the same as TCIC safari. I got it changed last year. You might also want to get the spring changed. I had similar problems. The spring costs around Rs. 40. Its a red spring, not sure what it is called.

Ideally. Master and slave should be changed as a pair.

AK, I didn't believe what I was reading. Why not?? It costs next to nothing man!!!

And why 13k? The Master & Slave cylinders put together would cost you around 4.5k or so. Surely they're not going to change the plate & release bearing if nothing's wrong with them!

Reclaiming continues @ 71k without extended warranty

I know JK but as you continue reclaiming your life, TATA tries reclaiming your Bank account

[jaysmokesleaves]

Yeh.. they change it for free during warranty and then reclaim every penny back from you post warranty... I wonder who is reclaiming from who. Its probably the customer trying to reclaim his life while TML reclaims his back account.

[tsk1979]

Don't scare me. If TML tries to reclaim the 3.5 lakhs of parts changed under warranty, I will go totally backrupt

Today I observed momentarily loss of power (0.5 - 1 sec) in second and third gear while accelerating after lowering gear. This is not frequent but observed some 4 - 5 times today. Does anyone observed this? What could be the issue. Safari is only 250 Kms on ODO. Please note during this time no lights in dashboard comes. Just feeling.

If after that moment, you experience a greater power from the engine, it might be a monetary lapse when the the turbocharger is firing. DO you need to repress the accelerator to get the engine power again? Are you sure there is no service light in dashboard in that moment?
