1st Free 5000 KM Servicing done -
Unnati Motors - Wagholi
Total Cost - 2836/-


Handed over vehicle at Unnati Motors at 09:45 AM. Got a call around 13:00 HRS that vehicle is ready.

The bad part is that around 550 Rs in bill were charged without my consent. 530/- for some spray to protect battery terminals and eliminate squeaking noise from windows and 60/- for wind shield washer additive.

Infotainment firmware is flashed and have to check if Android Auto still freezes.

Everything was good and smooth untill I came out from service centre. Drove XUV for 1 KM and tried to adjust seating position and realized seat is not sliding forward and reverse.

Went back to them and there and figured out that one of the connection out of three was pulled off during mat removal.

Wire was plugged in and seat started working but happiness didn't last long. Within 5 seconds it again got jammed.

Good 20 mins to make it working again. The reason was there are two motors which push seat forward and reverse on rail. As one of the mortor had stopped working earlier so it misaligned the track. They re calibrated it in order to make it working.

All good and working fine from last 1 hour but Guess what!!! Life is always full of adventure with Mahindra. [lol]

UPDATE
Wonderful and trouble free 5 months completed.
ODO Counts - 6700

Was out of town for few weeks. On the top of that office network has blocked TAI IP so can't access it from workplace.

Things which have improved over time are
Engine is smoother now.
Suspension has taken lot of beatings so feels softer now.

Gifted myself a 400 KMs trip of Pune -> Marine Drive, Mumbai -> Pune upon my arrival.
Overall FE - 12.3 KMPL (Not bad)
On 14 KM long Eastern Freeway, I put my vehicle on Cruise control @ 65 KMPH and MID displayed instant FE of 18.0 KMPL.
On Tankful to Tankful - FE 11.8

While returning I started at 01:15 AM from Marine Drive and reached home at 03:26 AM. Stopped for 15 mins midway to fuel up so effectively 171 KMs in 2 Hours. Google maps shows it will take 3.5 Hours non stop to cover that distance. [:D]

UPDATE
1.5 years completed. No issues so far touch wood. Odo count 28000 KMs.

Issues
Rattling noises from here and there
Squeaking noise from front break.

I am going to wrap vinyl on alloys. Before actually doing it, I've done some work on photoshop. Can you tell me which one you like most?
#1 is stock setup.

Photoshop is not my cup of tea. The work was done by a colleague from design team who had his last working day and he had nothing better to do. So I gave him to design my alloys. I will pass your compliments to him.

Option 3 is finalized. 5 spoke without outer circle.
Met 3M and few other local guys to to apply vinyl on disc.
3M says that they do not apply vinyl on alloys.
local vendors are reluctant too on applying vinyl on alloy.
One local vendor agreed but when i explain project to him, he become uncomfortable on my attention to details and precision measurements.

Aquatint (Pune) is happy to paint alloys as per my demand but the paint will be permanent. They are not ready to work with peel able paint.

Finally, I need to manage some time and I will do it myself.
