I also quite didn't get what really did fall off![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
If the whole mirror unit is being fallen off, then it is not supposed to happen without any impact on it.
The rear cover on the mirror can be seperately bought if that's the one which has fallen off.
If it's the mirror, you can easily get a mirror alone as spare![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
Great. Do post some pictures of the new tire![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")

Hi Punar,
I too had updated to Michelin XM2 185/65 R14 some 6 months back, have driven for over 7000 kms. now. Here are my thoughts,
1) Reduction in tire noise compared to stock ones (Good year 175/60 R14)
2) Better grip - gave me the confidence to pass thru. sharp corners at good speeds (which i never had with stock tires)
3) Marginal increase in ground clearance (this helps, trust me)
4) Although the mileage wasn't increased amidst the claims from Michelin for XM2 series but neither did it drop much. For my driving style it had dropped by just 0.5-1 KM.
Overall the tires are excellent
Happy driving!!

Hi aravindn20,
Those alloys and chrome handles looks perfect and up-class. Can you please tell me from which shop you get it done in Cochin . I am looking for some good shop for alloy wheels and some mods. BTW your wheel size upgrade looks perfect. can you tell me what is the upgraded size.

Sorry guys for the confusion, it was only the mirror that has fallen off. Have checked at dealership in Hyderabad they don't have it in stock, need to check at other shops.

At last got my Vacuum Pump's O-Ring (which was causing the engine oil leak ) replaced a couple of days back. To my surprise it was just a tiny piece of ring that was causing the trouble, it took a complete day to fix this.
Part # 36301RZ0G01
Cost - Rs. 728
Labor - Rs. 1150
Attaching the picture of the replaced part.
I hope the engine oil leak stops!!
Unfortunately my battery levels were down and wasn't charging

Service adviser suggested me to replace the battery too. I'm not sure if I was cheated here because I never had trouble with the battery in the past. It has been exactly 3 years since I purchased my Amaze, I do have an extended warranty for my vehicle (4 yrs.) But looks like batteries are not covered in that, by default all OEM batteries comes with only 12-24 months warranty it seems. Clueless on what is covered and what is not in warranty?
I contacted the manufacturer (SF SONIC - 55B24L(S)-MF) and they too had provided the same info.
With no option left I had to change the battery. I went for Amaron - Hi Life Pro
How long does car batteries last on an average? I've driven around 45,000 kms. and my vehicle is 35 months old

Life of battery is pure luck and also the maintenance and load and how SVC screw up. I have seen OEM lasting upto 9 years and my worst being exactly the next week after the warranty period. Most of our battery lasted 3-4 years. VW battery used to conk off under 2 years, we shifted to Amaron. Most of our cars and bikes run on Amaron

Hey Vishnu how do you do man, i have changed my 2 Disks and brake pads for Amaze Diesel (Oct 2013 model) today after 33K. while braking the break pedal jumps mildly and vehicle does not halt smoothly. Went to ASS and they said it was a much much better mileage for the brake pads as an average brake pad lasts for 20k and at a max 25k only but mine is 33k.
You have done pretty good mileage how long yours last ? is 33k brake pads and Disks change is must ? or still can last some more km

Hey Ramesh , I'm good. Thank You
I've changed 2 set of brake pads till 64K kms. I've never changed the rotors. I don't think the rotors should be changed atleast till 80K kms. I know it depends on many factors even though changing rotors at 33k felt premature right ?

first of all your thread is very nice and understandable also very helpful for beginners appreciate and request to continue
ya right. i have the replacement part so i thought to inspect it and went to trusted workshop. Mechanic checked the Rotor he was surprised, said this will last sure for 1 L Kms no need to change. Also saw the Pads and that too can last for another 10K aproxima. Then we decided to remove the new ones both pads and disks. Slightly Skimmed the old rotors with emery paper then placed both old rotors and pads in. Now i do not feel pedal jumping back. however have to test for some more days while in traffic as well in freeway.
when was the first pad change and when was the second one.
How much is the brake pad ? .
For me they charged 4150 including labour/tax.
SET.PAD FR (1no) = 2390
DISK.FR BRAKE (2 nos) = 1407
Labour =345

I am surprised. I paid 3200 for brake pad change in My city recently. How come Amaze pads are costlier. And I got them changed at 40k when they still have around 5k life left.
