Mahindra Scorpio VLX Mist Silver: 1,00,000 Kms & Counting

Even i have the water dripping problem on the left side when the AC is ON. So most probably it must be the water from AC and moreover the water is cold!


I don know about the paint protection but under-body coatings comes with atleast 5 years warranty so no issues of flushing away for few years! I had it before in my Sierra and now in Safari and also Verna!

Rusting already? My Safari is 4 years old but still no signs of rust anywhere! Pretty strange! Does your car get a wash from hosepipe daily?

Yeah rusting near the door panels, As it was raining all the way the mud & sand had accumulated near the doors, Open & closing the door has caused rust in small places.
And i had not cleaned it all through journey.
Yeah i clean it with running water.

to remove tar stains, apply a little diesel on a cloth & rub it over the stain. dont use too much diesel & apply only on the affected area.

if you are going for these coatings, ensure you car is as dry.

Raj these tar substances are there all over on the side claddings as small dots.
Won't diesel damage the paint.
Have to check out the product available in HP bunk as suggested by anuprav.

My advice clean your car with a bucket of water always. If the car is very dirty after the rains then wet your car completely with running water then after that use cloth. Using running water daily to wash your car may cause premature rusting in the long run!

Diesel wont damage the paint. use very less quantity though.

I got my car today.
The tar on the car has gone now, I am quite surprised, What i did was asked the boy who was washing my car at the A.S.S.
He cleaned it with some lotion & its gone.
Really must appreciate that boy for doing the work & gave tips to him.
These SA's just try to make some quick buck's just suggesting costly coatings.
And who knows whether they do it or not.
And update: The 3 rd gear vibration has been fixed now.
The roof lamp has also been fixed, by replacing bulb.
And of AC water dripping can't complaint know as it resurfaces only when used all through the drive.
But as of know no problem & they topped some neutralizer to the AC, I have no idea what it does but AC is freezing my hand.

Quite a happy guy now, with all the problems fixed.

This never happened in any of my car.

Akash this might happen with one having Disc-brakes.
As in mine in the front is disc brake,rear is drum.

For safety and engineering reasons, all cars have powerful disc brakes at the front (Except Nano) and I’m sure Akash’s City or Alto are not an exception. Though, this issue has never happened with me too either but I suppose it was more or less due to the long drive and road surface with different conditions on which the car was driven, However, if in case it starts occurring often, then you’ll need pay some attention.

Are you Sure Vibhor, I had heard that 800,Alto comes with drum brakes.
See the difference :
Front one with Black color

Rear drum with just mud

Mukesh, I'm definitely sure that both these cars have Disc brakes on front.

Yes Mukesh, as 350Z has already said, both of my cars are equiped with front discs and i havent faced such a problem as yet. As a matter of fact, i recently travelled in dads Innova(office vehicle, 400km stretch), but it showed no signs of such marks on any of the wheels.
I feel you must get it checked at the service centre.

I just love your Scorp, Mukesh. I saw a similar color & spec Scorp in the traffic today, and was hoping it was you with TAI stickers, but it wasn't.

Usually the black dust you see on the wheel rims is brake dust,it has nothing to do with the car having discs or drums,but it is all about driving style,you brake frequently in high speed it occurs.

I have seen brake dust in a mondeo,bmw 530d and the E280cdi.

 

[sriharsha]

exacly. that black thing is just break dust. i see it on the rims after some high speed highway driving along with high speed breaking in my alto too.

Yes Sandeep go ahead.
I drop my vehicle to Sireesh Auto Hosur Road Bangalore.

Thanks for the info Sandeep a sigh of relief now.
And i had mentioned it that this happened only during rainy seasons Esp after long drives.
As of now after the checking there is no deposits of black mark on Alloy's.
Now happy that you said its normal.
