Service Experience

No, the price of the bottle!!

If I am right, in the user manual, it is not recommended to use any additive.

I think in the manual it is mentioned not to use any additive not approved by the compnay.

In the 'Service Coupon Booklet' under the 'Engine oil' section, page 32, it is mentioned, "WE FORBID THE MIXING OF ANY ADDITIVES WITH THE ENGINE OIL."

Okay, I just went through what you mentioned earlier, if the additive is added to Diesel then I am not sure, will have to check.

Yes Rajesh it was added to the fuel tank and not the engine oil.

The cost for the Wyn's additive was mentioned as Rs 240 in the bill and the bottle does not contain any price. I enquired about that kind of additive in one IOCL gas station, but I could not find it. Lets try in other fule outlets

I think you will find it with people who deal with lubricants/accessories.

I will be adding the 3M diesel treatment additive after I empty the tank of Shell Super. Normal diesel with 3M additive will be used. I have come across the knocking sound occassionally.

Rajesh, Do tell us if u find any difference after using 3M. Their products are really good. Hope this one works well too..

i went for my car's first service today.it was free.i took my car at around 1.00 pm, and then told them about a faulty boot-opener( the switch was not functioning properly).they looked at my problem, and couldn't solve so they went for a replacement, but they didn't had any spare switch.they promised to fix it on the next service....
now they checked the engine oil, brake/clutch oil, coolant, all electrical parts and said everything is ok. they finished the service within 3 hours and gave my car back(actually i was sitting there)....
what i want to ask is will they change my coolant, engine oil, clutch oil oil they will just check it???????this is our first car, and first service so i have no idea...please tell me what you faced at your first service, or i will call the dealer and book another servicing at a different workshop.....
PLEASE HELP

YOUR first service is just a check up oil and water and other stuff but nothing will be changed But windscreen washer water will get topped up
your motor oil and brake oil should not need topping up
enjoy your first car ...................GOOD CHOICE

thanks stu..............GOOD CHOICE INDEED.....just having problem with my mileage, or else my car is a GEM....

You must wait till you have done at least 3000km until you can realy feel the power and see the true fuel consumption ...and I mean this!!!! Mine runs like a dream and i use a average of 5,4 ltrs per 100km

yeah guys first service nothing much happens. actually nothing at all happens.

some engine tuning takes place though. i had my engine tuned thoroughly as i was not satisfied with the way it came.

i took the guy managing servicing with me after each tune and instructed him further. thats how i tuned till at a point i believed that should be it. and well that included brake , clutch tuning.

The tuning of the engine is not need because the motor managment does all this for them .and if it fails it will revert to default .Do you guys have catasilaters fitted (spelt it wrong I know) If you do have then NEVER fill with leaded fuel or you can throw it away afterwards .I had a problem with my car this morning !!!!!!! The wife has borrowed it haha

just go in the boot and undo the two screws at the top ff the backseat rest
and then you have a LOT of room It should be in your handbook

Ah! now thats really something, I'd love to try out sometime. So much to add to the injury of the envious souls at my workplace

i went for the service yesterday at 40.000 kms.

here it follows

1- eng oil maximile p - rs 697
2- filter oil - rs 374
3- cartridge filter - rs 399
4- diesel fuel filter - rs 1340
5- pad set front brake rs 1652
6 -seal 16 - rs 16
7 - outside job done to disc plate - rs 360
8- paid service - rs 480
9- brake overhaul - rs 360

total cost incurred rs 5667

after discount by priviledge card issued by mahindra.... i paid 5337

labour discount by 20%
parts discount by 5%

"7 - outside job done to disc plate - rs 360" ????

yes..
as your discs and some routers were changed.. they were persuaing me also to do he same,
but my mechanic told something in there own language regarding doing something on plates which will give them more life
mayb some sort of work done on them to give them new lease of life

i only know that that mechanic saved my 3000 rs

A disk is a disk if its worn you cannot make it better and if its not worn nobody needs to touch it

dont know.....but i suppose 360 is better than 3000

rest i l call th mechanic tomorrow and again ask him what he did to the discs

He cant do ANYTHING to the disks other than clean rust off them which will reappear the next day
Keep us informed

My logan has crossed 60,000 kms...n it is going for d 5th service...n every paid service is being very expensive...where in one service my brake pads were changed and this paid service timing belt...as they say...it is part of the schedule of the mahindera to change the timing belt...Can some1 help me...as is it right...coz i feel cheated..!!

It only needs changing after 160000 that is one hundred and sixty thousand KM which is 160 000
