A LUV Story - Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

[anshuman8]

Just wanted to know any shops in Bangalore to replace the Headlight..

If you know the specifications for upgrade buy from AK Traders JC Road. They are wholesalers and will give you at the cheapest rate in town (lower than online also).

Thanks anshuman8 for the reply. I will go and check with them.
For Ertiga, What would the headlamps upgrade. I think members of the forum have installed Philips 90 bulbs for better visibility.

 

[anshuman8]

Just be careful while upgrading bulbs, it might need a relay.

What is the OEM bulb specification ?

 

[DJ bro]

Sgajjala sir, go for 90/100 bulbs with full relay.
Most of us have fitted it.

Guyz, Today when I took my car from parking area I found green patched oil slicks. What oil is this in green.

Should be coolant liquid.. nothing else green as far as I know.

Just ordered the Armrest for my LUV

Coido Universal Beige CAR Center ARM Rest Hand Rest CUM Storage BOX | eBay

Eagerly waiting for Same.

I wasn't convinced with quality of stitches on the armrest and requested for replacement. The retailer has agreed to replace. Hence sending it back to him. Will have to wait another week for fixing the armrest I guess.

Got replacement in the weekend and installed it myself. After fixing I notice that hand brake lever fouls with the arm rest pedestal & hence planning cut out a small portion in the pedestal.

To be honest, the quality of arm rest is only average and you need to use both hands for opening the arm rest, which is not very comfortable for me. Nevertheless it serves the primary purpose as 'arm rest' very well which negates everything else..

Finally decided between roof or headrest TV.

Nice Kinkyji!
Headrest tv is pricey right?
How much did the HU cost and what brand and specifications?

Djbro headrest also cost the same. I thought of fixing bigger screen so opted for 11inch led TV. I my HU is geesonic not a branded but decent sound and picture. HU cost me 1k with fixtures.

Vanakkam Bala sir. Congrats for your LUV.
No problem with that. It is the average fuel consumption from since you bought the car till now.
For best efficiency, maintain constant speeds on highways and drive sedately in city.
Example: My LUV gives 15 in city and 19-21 on highways. The average shown on the display is 17 kmpl. At constant 100kmph, 21 kmpl efficiency. Moreover, the mileage will increase after every service.
You can start another ownership thread of your own sir and don't forget to post pics.
Pls fasten your seatbelts and also all passengers seatbelts everytime, be safe.

Hello Bala. Try to long press the buttons in the meterconsole to reset the FE fro then watch out you FE it should be better.

My LUV give 15 to 17 with 100% AC in Chennai city. In highways maintain speed below 100km so you get a FE of 19 to 20 and speed higher than 120km the FE will show a steady drop.
