My Love: Maruti Alto LX 2007 Ownership Review

[schimulkar]

No. I am not facing air loss frequently. I get the pressures checked every 2000 kms (which is at around once every 1.5 months) and I lose around 5-10 PSI in half an year, from my past experience. In the new Ritz, I first got the pressures lowered to the recommended level (since the pressure was ~40 PSI from the showroom!) and get it checked every 2000 kms (around once every two months). I have lost ~1-2 PSI in the 9 months of ownership and around 9k kms.

Are you sure ???
Do you check at same place everytime?
The sudden loss and marginally 1-2 psi for 2 months makes me feel that gauges are wrong since its now nitrogen gas filled(99% nitrogen)...

It should work. Just try again with starting your car and wait for some time to engine worm up. Then try engage first gear without revving. If you succeed , go to your mechanic and tell him the problem.
Experts please gave your suggestions.

Hi guys!
I am going to upgrade my ICE setup again. The only weak section in my setup is the front in-dash speakers . Alto has strictly 4˝ option available in dashboard . Current speakers are Pioneer TS G414 30w RMS.
They are ok not bad, but not as good as rear speakers . Pioneer TS A6962E in rear parcel tray are awesome and these easily overtake front speakers while playing at higher volume.
After some research on internet , found Polk Audio DB401 with 45w RMS are best in the category . So ordered the same on snapdeal.com
Impatiently waiting for the delivery .

Installed new Polk Audio speakers in dash. impressed with superior quality
Pissed off with maruti . Weird design of in dash speaker mounting points . Did some modification to fit
the speakers .
I have a rocking ICE setup now.

One more thing. From so many days the evil inside me was forcing me to install powerful horns on car. Today when on an accessory shop when i saw Roots Magasonic horns, the evil woke up again. Tried hard to stop myself but failed. Spent Rs. 2900 for set of horns, relay, higher gauge wiring, special mountings and a toggle switch .
Spent higher on horns than service
But boy these Horns can wake the deads

Veerey,

What's the cost of the horns you told at home? Just be cautious, not to use those horns excessively, may invite a Challan! In Punjab, the traffic norms are really strict.

Post a video if possible!

Didn't tell anything about horns yet. After some days i will tell them the horns costed rs. 500
These horns will be used only for highways and for some deaf idiots. Simply T T horn is there for normal use.

Hi Saroya,

Didn't see a post of a new DIY from you since long. Can you please post a DIY for removal/installation of the front bumper.

I bought the foot pump tyre inflator, but there seems to be no manual.
How to use this, is the gauge provided reliable. If i want to keep 30 psi but if it exceeds to 34 how to reduce the psi?

Hi! Sorry for late reply. It is easy to use just connect it to your tyre valve and pump it with your foot. Usually gauges provided are not reliable, so you have to purchase separate gauge to check and maintain required pressure.

Simple. Remove the inflator pump and press the centre of nozzle of the valve (in tyre) with nails or something similar. The air inside will come out. Refill to the desired pressure from the pump again.
