Regarding the rattle noise from the dashboard, I suggest you try with another Hyundai service center and do not tell them that the other serivce guys were not able to fix or told that everything is ok, just say that you a rattling noise from the dashboard and need them to take a look.
So far no problems with the gear box and regarding the central locking, check if the door is shut properly and check for child lock latch.
Do you have autocop central locking or the central locking system provided by hyundai????

Thanks for the wishes sajan proud to be a verna club member, I wouldnt want to be a member of any other club!
Yes, I realized that the child lock had been set on both rear doors and I had foolishly not noticed this. What was more foolish, is that I complained about it to the service chaps, and those guys actually inspected the entire central locking system and told me that they had actually "fixed" something. I have the central locking system that comes from hyundai in the top end sx model.
I want to upgrade my tires as well, but am not equipped monetarily currently for that, as I want to upgrade the alloys as well and just tire exchange is very expensive, and I dont want to ask my dad for that much money. So I have decided that I will wear out these tires completely and save up to upgrade to alloys and 195 michelins maybe in the next 6 months sometime. BTW, have you fitted 195/55 or 195/60? I thought the latter is the right one?
For the time being I just had the interiors done, which I am very proud of having been my very first salary investment. I think well done interiors add a new dimension to the car looks and improves the feel inside.
Yes I have to decide what to do regarding the rattling. I also was hit by a M800 idiot who rammed my rear when I had stopped at a signal and then escaped. I have located (thanks to the help of a fellow tbhp member), a decent body work shop in chennai who has quoted 4k for both my bumpers (repainting and the dent fix). Someone else had left their verna their as well so I can assume that he will get me the right paint colour.
The gearbox was notchy, which they failed to rectify in the first service. When I took the car back again they bled the clutch and did a wonderful job with the gearbox, and now its become a real pleasure to drive. A smooth gearshift is essential to make the drive more pleasurable especially in a car like this that provides so much driving fun. I'm glad that you opted for the ABS on this car because it really needs it and the ABS system on the verna is absolutely wonderful and provides peace and mind. Do share more of your good/bad experiences with your car with me, so that I can keep an eye out for potential problems that may arise. |
