Hi Bro

you can check my thread Ertiga VDi ownership review

soon going to update my Ertiga & Nano ownership thread with pics & details.

Thats awesome, I'll Definitely check out your thread.

Vineesh bro,

Yes Hi Bro ,

Yes This Is the thing that i decided when i bought this car, It Needs The most attention as in exteriors Its a Very dark colour almost black, So Needs a lot of polishing, as even a small scratch and swirl marks would be extremely visible. And Interiors Its a very bright Beige interior So, If Its not maintained well then within few seconds it would get dirt stains too. So rather than thinking about the money, Maintaining the cleaning look was my main vision. No its not a package i have to pay for every single wash but 450/- is not big money...

But am happy that am able to keep the fresh new car feel even after 1 1/2 Month of ownership!

Regards,
FordFiesta1.6

Hi Praveen,

Thanks Bro, Yeah When i enquired my Service Consultant he too said that the 2nd Row A/C Has a small Cooling Coil unit. And the backside part sucks the air in and cools a bit and delivers also he said the coil would start working only after turning the main A/C on.

he said the coil would start working only after turning the main A/C on.

That's absolutely correct, as we dont have separate button to switch on/off the 2nd row AC. And its same for all the variants but Lxi/Ldi.
Also AFAIK, the 2nd row coils wont start working if the AC button is on & front blowers are off, as this would automatically switch off the main AC.

Yes Bro the 2nd row A/C Just has a Speed Controller unit, For cooling we have to keep the 1st row ac at min 1 speed level and mainly the main A/C Compressor should be on.


And friends, Am planning to fit my ertiga and swift in a MCP Plan Need some help...

For Ertiga it still has 2 free service remaining and its covered with a Extended warranty, Should i avail the MCP Pack after the free services or can i avail it now? Will there be any advantages or disadvantages?

Hi FordFiesta1.6

they calculate MCP cost by total no of service they have to do in AMC duration & age of vehicle. you should call your nearby service center & ask for MCP quotations for your both vehicles. they will send it on your mail ID.

everything is not included in MCP like gearbox oil change & EGR cleaning is not included also they use semi synthetic engine oil. over all you need not to worry about service cost for few years after taking MCP.

@FordFiesta1.6,

Wonderful car and excellent color choice. Just curious, are you sure the tyres are 195/65 R15 I can see in the other pic and the sticker says 195/60?

Thanks Bro,

Yes My Wrong its 195/60 R15 Tyres But its good that you noticed! And The Tyres are the best!

 

[Vishi]

You see I was in validation/testing domain for 12 years hence my mind goes in picking up wrong things

BTW 195/60 profile reduces the ground clearance. Hope you considered this. I am in the plan of purchasing ertiga same color selection as yours. I just love the shine of it. I was planning to change the tyres immediately out of showroom but with 195/65 profile. How is the ride comfort after changing the tyres?

Oh I See,

Yes it should have reduced the car's actual ground clearance, But Mostly 3-4 MM Wouldn't be much of an issue as the car's actual ground clearance is 185 MM!!

Yes its better to Upgrade the stock tyres with a 195 Section upgrade.. And it adds to the additional high speed grip. And am in love with these Continental CMC Tyres! They are soft enough and had more grip and the road noise is pretty much nil.. Compared to my stock tyres.

Thats good Go for it bro, Its an Complete VFM Package And the Granite Grey colour in Ertiga is an treat to see the car, But don't forget to Buy a Car Jopasu Duster to maintain! An dif you maintain the car well the colour would give you the shine for more than years and years...

Booked the car?

And any Details need to know about the car feel free to ask

I calculated on this site and the difference in ground clearance is 5 mm. So, now your car is having 180 mm of clearance, not a problem.

Yeah I thought It would have ended up in 180mm of GC Bro,

But in Ride Quality I feel it has improved than the stock spec tyres, One Question Will there be any problem technically regarding the 5mm Reduced tyre height?

But At the next tyre change will make it to stock spec.
