Maruti Suzuki Baleno Hatchback: Technical Issues & Solutions

[ameyam]

@chairman, we reported the same after the airbag update also. I think there is a hidden ecu update that reduces jerks when releasing clutch. Since we often do potholes at half clutch, the feeling is of a smoother ride. The Delta's ride is compliant to begin with and a reduction of 1 or 2 psi greatly improves the ride. So if thw ASC's gauge is out of calibration as they usually are, they may have given you a lower pressure improving your ride inadvertently.
The issue of gauges calibration is quite rampant. I usually put in 28psi in me Zeta now. Yesterday i had TPMS installed. The tyre shop doing the installation is a reputed Bridgestone dealer and kept telling me his gauge is well caliberated. But he topped up 28psi and the TPMS reports 27psi. The ride in the rear is consistent with 27psi. Thus is gauge is out by 1 psi which though nominal, makes a big difference to the ride

Hai everyone
I want to ask you that if we replace the halogen bulbs of zeta does that cause any trouble to the auto headlamp functions. some are saying that those functions are only for halogen bulbs.

Hi,
Does non availability of under body protection for baleno is a concern for Indian situations especially from rats and rainy water ? does all cars have under body protection is there by default ?

Hello Milind, underbody protection is not a standard fitment buddy. Cars like Baleno, Tiago, Ameo and even my 2011 Gen Honda City does not have under engine cover / protection but there is no issue of atleast water seeping in during monsoons. As for rats, I haven't observed any so far in 5 years.

Do not install aftermarket under body cover, unauthorised designs will affect the engine and gearbox cooling.

You can fix at home itself,if you know the clutch cable adjustment nut setup.
Better to give to ASS,to set the correct play ,as they can guide you based on other user's experiences.

heavy rains in Bangalore today, while coming to office i had to "brake" real hard to avoid driving into a car in front of me, heard a grinding noise from within the car and a distinct vibration in the brake pedal at the exact same time....
this is the ABS kicking in right?? or is it an issue??

on an unrelated note, the car is at 2200 Kms now, i have been restricting the rpm to 2500-3000 rpm on account of the burn-in process (first 2500 km), can't wait to cross 2500 kms and rev all the way to 6250 rpm (redline, right??)

coming from a 2000 model Zen Lxi, the pick up the Baleno has at just 3000 rpm has impressed me, can't wait for 6250 prm

I test drove Baleno yesterday, I asked My RM about the suspension issue, he told me that as I am buying the delta variant I won't be facing the suspension Issue as compared to zeta and alpha owners. Can someone please explain me the reason behind it?

Higher profile tyres. The wider side walls offer more spring effect, hence a softer ride. But the difference is marginal

I too have experienced something similar when I braked hard to avoid another vehicle. Any inputs from fellow members will be helpful.
