Hi all
My Enjoy's Engine Malfunction Indicator again began to stay lighted, yesterday. It is only a week since the same problem was rectified by the service centre. Yesterday itself I visited the service centre and they found out that the vacuum hose has again caused some problem.

This time they replaced it with a new one. They have also claimed that some reprogramming has been done. Anyhow the indicator light has gone off. I will keep you posted about further developments, if any.

Season greetings to all
Have a great new year ahead

Remapping done ? Do you feel drop in power now ?
When this was done on Vishwas's car, it had a drastic power cut down.

Can you please post the pic of that pipe and where it is located ?

 

[Varun560061]

Few recent pic's ... car has completed 23k kms. All fine.

Hi Varun
They didn't give me the changed pipe; nor did they allow us to get inside the workshop. They said they have updated the programme also. But I don't feel any drop in power.

My car is nearing 7.5K km. The first service is due next month.
I am also attaching a few snaps of our Enjoy as we made a trip to a nearby hill station during the recent Xmas holidays

thanks n regs

Did you asked for the error code ?

 

[saji70]

No I didn't ask for the error code.
They replaced the TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE ACTUATOR HOSE & TURBOCHARGER OIL RETURN HOSE under warranty. The Pipe ASM CHRG CLR INL costs 826.00 + tax & Pipe ASM TURBO WASTEGATE Acts costs 208.00 + tax. Of course, all these were done free of cost

Hi all
Our Enjoy reached 7500 km mark yesterday.
The first service and oil change was done today.

The outside door handles of the rear doors were a little difficult to pull out. It was rectified when doors were set. I had asked them to decrease the temperature setting of the rear a/c. The result can be known only when we travel at noon time.

Engine oil, Transmission oil, Rear axle oil etc were replaced. Windshield wiper concentrate was topped up. The engine is performing well after the service. Feels quite peppy and eager to rev up. I will keep posting the developments

Altogether it cost Rs 2361.00
Is this figure ok?

 

[Varun560061]

Car completed 25000 kms in 18 months. Next month doing a longest trip ever.

Have done few trips. Enjoyed every bit of it.

 

[Varun560061]

Back for the long trip from agra, now odo stands at 31,xxx..

Got the servicing done, also replaced the tires.

tyre wear at 31k kms is very Bad. my fortuner tyres do 80k kms and safari 55k kms.

my xuv 500 is 38k kms and tyres are still going like new.

Hi Varun,

First of all I would like to congratulate you for writing such a splendid review. Just because of your review I have decided to buy Enjoy. Currently I own Spark and pretty much happy with everything except less FE around 13-14 kmpl.
Now coming to Enjoy, I am getting 2014 model LS (Diesel) for total Rs. 1.07 lac discount. Also my Spark has been valued by them for Rs. 1.70 lacs. So in total I am getting Rs. 2.77 lacs minus from Rs. 8.91 lacs on road for Nagpur.
So I am getting it for around 6.14 lacs. On top of that it was a showroom model so they have added free accessories like Roof rail, Leather seats, OVRM indicators, Steering cover, Mats, Mud flaps.
I am planning to go for Central locking, Music System, and side moulding.
What do you guys say about the deal? Is it worth going for?
Also how do I check whether the car is not old and it is not driven more. Currently the odo says 45kms. But the ODO is disconnected as of now as informed by the SA.

If I go for it then do you suggest changing the tyres? Varun, How much did it cost you for exchange with YOKO tyres?

I need your suggestions at the earliest. Thanks for in advance.

Regards
Kapil

The tire wear even I am not sure. What I am guessing is the tire was not made for MPV it was meant for a sedan or a hatch. Since my car is heavy it might have worn out quickly.

Hi Kapil,
Congrats, go ahead and buy it. Why not get a LT variant ?
Are you buying 7/8 seater. Better to go for 7 seater.

And for tires, the OEM JK are bad, better to replace when new so that you will get 90% of value. Try to source BS potenza G3 or Good year Eagle F1.
When I exchanged I had to pay around 9k for the new up-sized tires.

Hi Varun,

Congrats for your loong trip and I knew it was awesome from your happy voice. Your car looking fabulous with the roof spoiler and light. I loved the stance.

BTW when you are going to share your wiper DIY, We need to see that pics man :)

Thanks Varun. LT variant is not available with the deal. And I think I have already stretched my budget.

8 seater, as at times it will be diffficult to go to 3rd row if we are 5 persons travelling altogether.

And for tires, the OEM JK are bad, better to replace when new so that you will get 90% of value. Try to source BS potenza G3 or Good year Eagle F1.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will find out if I get a good deal for tyres else I will leave the stock tyres as of now.
