you can switch back to semi synthetic but you will find a difference for sure. don't know if it will be a good idea to switch to mineral oil. semi should be fine.
So it's like, once you owned and used Iphone, it's not easy to switch back to Andriod ! [;)].

Synthetic oil is costing too much, it's thrice the price of normal/Mineral oil. Is the Price worth the benefits ?

Engine won't be that smooth yeah.
If your running was high then maybe yes , synthetic would have been better. But in a case like yours , semi is more than sufficient.

Guys.. Please help me.. I have Xcent Petrol MT (4yr old covered 23000km)
I have issues with my Car A/C.. When ever i take my car for long drives.. within an hour or two, i get some plastic burning smell from a/c vent & after sometime no air comes out of the air vent..(Even with A/C on and full blower speed).. I could hear the blower running sound but literally no air..
I need to stop the car, cool it for around 1/2 hr and again start..
Is it common with Xcent MT ?..
I even tried changing the cabin filter.. but still no use..

Please post your inputs...
Thanks,
Raghav

Mine Xcent has covered about same in 3 Years, so far no such issues have come up.
Heating up of AC motor could be one of the reason for the smell, it's better to get it rectified with some good mechanic,else there might be some other damage to the system, which may cost even more.

That's too high. Please visit my thread HERE, as I recently changed my evaporator coil, it costed me total of 3.3 for part + 2.9 for labor.

I have uploaded the bill. Please do check it.

i faced some strange thing with my xcent on friday whle returining back from office. while i was coming out of my office campus in goregaon east (nirlon knowledge park) suddenly i head huge sound of some heavy metal things hitting the car from down. i slowed my car and heard 2 people shouting from back to stop car as something had fallen from my car, i immediately stopped and went out to see those 2 holding my rotating belt and camshaft pulley in their hand. luckily while going out to see, i had not switched the car of, so i put it in gear and parked on the side.
on opening the bonnet, i saw the belt and the main pulley missing and the engine oil leaking.

somehow i managed to get a tow, only after waiting for 2 hrs and got the car parked at a local garage. the mechanic did the initial check and told that a metal/steel bar connecting camshaft and the pulley broke into 2 and half is stuck inside.
i have never heard anything ever like this ever happen to anyone where parts of engine break and fall down when the car is moving. the belt is not damaged at all but the pulley has got sharp cuts on the edges due to the fall. i had done my paid services on 9 june.
car is still in garage and the mechanic and me are still shocked that how can a strong engine part just break into 2 and result in this.

PM Ramachandran Chennai ; Hyudai i-10 : My problem. The AC automatically switches off after some half an hour or so after starting on the trip. I understand that there is an auto cut off if the engine temp exceeds a certain high setting. but I see that this happens frequently now even when the engine temp is less than half way up and car is on the move. For the last few years I have not come across this problem. I had the concerned relay changed to no avail. Is the fault with the board which I beleive costs about 10,000/- Has any one got an advice on this issue. I will be grateful.

just a quick question guys, is the extended warranty for 3,4 years same as the normal one ? do they exclude some things in that? thinking of getting the extended one as 2 years coming close.
