Guys my brio has completed 6 months and service is already due. The car has completed only 1100 Kms.

Experts please suggest.

1100km in 6 months[surprise]. That's ok, better to stick with the service itinerary for warranties to be intact.

Speak to the service guy he may ask you to drive few more kms and then go for an Oil change but its a case wise. Keep us updated as my 2nd service is due on next month have covered 5k happy miles.[:D]

Yeah I think they do ask for a oil change at 10k kms or 6months whichever first. but 1k kms and oil change !!! I dont know really. But I feel its better to get it changed. Refreshed machine after a run-in [:)]

Regarding what they do in the second service, you have it in the manual. Somewhere in the ending where they stamp after each service.

Was thinking of having the below to accessories.

1. Daytime Running Lights DRL lights like the ones in Audi.
2. Tweeters. Don't know the place where to install them.

Any suggestions on the cost and installation process. If somebody has installed them, pls. post pics with prices.

Recently i had gone to one Car accessories shop to ask about Foam cleaners for seat and carpet , while coming out i saw owners Brio with LED Daytime Running Lights , i asked his employees out side the shop for the price they said 250 each or 250 in total that i don't remember, but it looked pretty decent on Silver colour Brio

Has any EMT or EXMT Brio owner has got 12v Power socket installed in the car ?
I have seen people getting it installed. So what exactly is your query buddy?
If it is "can you get it installed?". Then yes, you can.

DRL's like the one in audi. You mean the L-shaped DRL's. They will cost around 1500-2000 a set.

May be cheaper online in ebay. I doubt you can fix it inside the headlamps. You will have to plant it somewhere on the grills.

Yesterday i told my friend about problems i face in steep elevation and how Brio becomes power less , so we went to a steep narrow road on small hill side which also has a sharp turn , road is mostly used by bike riders never by car owners since it is small.

First i took it up but in turn i completely lost it , he told me to use Handbrakes and push the accelerator but car kept going off numerous times , i started complaining about low end torque of the car , shaking his head he took over the wheels and was able to take car forward in one go, i was ashamed of my self but now i know it depends on drivers experience , will try again off course with him around .

Nothing to be ashamed off buddy. You will only learn with search experiences. I am not a driver with experience but i have not faced this problem as yet. Only thing is the engine needs to be revvd hard in such situations. Revving hard comes with practice [:)]
