Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna 1.6 VTVT | 4 Years | 29,000 Kms: Ownership Review

Battery gave up. New one costed 3800rs after giving the old one for 900rs.

So the battery gave up after 32 months and around 30k + kms.

Pro rata system is not that much beneficial. Had to pay 3600rs for the new battery. The dealer told me new one is now 4600 rupees and thus i saved 1000rs. Don't know if he was telling the true rate

Pro-Rata system is designed to keep you tied to that particular brand.
32 Months sounds a little less than ideal life.

 

[allhyundaicars]

Yup. That's true. Dealer was saying they have reduced the quality to keep rates in check. But i do have two amps , aftermarket horn plus the leds.

The Rs. 3,600 you spent seems to be good deal than what i got. In Sep 2017, at 64,000 + km, i paid Rs. 5,900 (after exchanging the Hyundai provided Exide), for my current a Red color Exide Matrix 75D23L (link). The Original Battery lasted for 57 months.

Got the car serviced at 73500 kms. It was more than a year since the last service.

Drove the car after a long period and the suspension seemed bad. Changed the front shocks plus the front brake pads lasted more than 40k kms since last change. Some pics.

Castrol sem-synthetic engine oil - 1400rs
Oil filter - 85rs
Air filter - 280rs
Front shocks set - 3350rs
Front Brake pads - 1180rs
Service labor - 350rs
Shocks labor - 400rs
Washing - 250
Wheel alignment - 250rs

Old pads vs new.

Got the car washed too.

Whats the mah of the battery?

 

[allhyundaicars]

I don't remember. And car is not here so I cannot check. Why do you ask ?

 

[VISHNUCARCRAZY]

My friend's Verna VTVT stock was replaced now with 70mah.
Performance is way better during cold start, less load on starter motor and battery, quick crank.

 

[allhyundaicars]

I was checking my previous replies and found that the battery is 44ah. 70ah is overkill don't you think ? Plus how was he able to accommodate such a bigger battery. it will start quickly since there is very little load for that battery. How much longer it will last , that's the main question.

Usually battery gives up between 30-36 months mark.

I strongly believe he chose the battery of diesel variant knowingly or unknowingly.

And how long that battery is going to last and the added advantage over the initial cost for a larger battery is something that time will tell

Its been 3 years since we have changed the battery , so far so good.
Its for VTVT verna we did this.
It has an extra subwoffer system in the rear , so higher mah battery ahs advantage over there too.

Cons- If car doesn't drive much (In our case monthly 1kkm is the minimal run) , I won't recommend this , as it takes more time to charge, as mah is more.

No harms to the ride, as the voltage is same.

For the past 4 years I am getting irritating sound from the rear suspension. I thought it must be the rubber spacers which I installed from after market. Sourced original pads from boodmo and yet the noise is coming.
Even the suspension guy turned a blind eye when I told him noise didn't go away and he was clueless. Wasted 1000rs in total.

The car also developed a crack yesterday on its own. Something must have fallen on the windshield. Got the new windshield fixed from windshield expert. Total time taken was 6 hours since they were short on labor and windshield was somewhere else.

Paid 2400rs deductible and 200rs for interior vacuum.

Notice the difference. Garware icecool shield nomore

Excellent fitment by them with proper tools.

Looks like a Coconut or something has fallen on the Glass.
Nice to see the beast back in action again.

Very few coconut trees in delhi car is parked for days sometimes since sister's office is at walkable distance. So can't know for sure what happened.
