one time teflon coating

Teflon coating is complete rip off and fake. All dealers use some fake wax/polish to show shining new car but one wash and all gone.
instead ask for
- body color bumper guard *or*
- new style Number plate

Waiting For the Pictures Bro, And its really an awesome car, Its good to be in, the interiors and the exteriors doesn't get bored. And a lot of granite grey Ertigians in our forum now. Really feeling happy about it[:)]. Thanks bro Granite grey's are so catchy in all maruti cars but in ertiga the colour gets even better. But needs a lot of care and attention in maintenance part.
Apologies, pictures are taking some time Sir. However a quick question, Shall I change the oil at first service. I personally feel I should as it will clean all the minute granules if any. However would require some expert advise from all the gurus here.

Even I would advise against Teflon coating. There is some product from 3M (paint protection). Even I have not tried that, however was thinking of getting it done. Someone please advise if its same as Teflon or its some other methodology.

Yes i Agree With HBR As even in swift I got Teflon Coating as freebie but i got the car in a worst possible condition there was literally no shine and they destroyed the paint in the RHS Rear Bumper corner a bit, I was so angry, And later i was left worried as even a simple wash would have made my rockstar shine like crazy, So later i decided not to do any car care polishing with dealers Same i did with my ertiga i didn't do any polishing to the car when taking the delivery, but my car still shined, But later took the car thrice to 3M Car care and did a full on 3 times Hand wax polish treatment to my car and it results so good. So even i won't recommend you taking Teflon coat as a freebie.

Should i go for Teflon or not (only if it's free)
No a Serious No Bro, Please don't.
If you going for some 3M service (wash and wax) after purchasing then Teflon is of no use.
I would suggest to skip it and ask for something else.
Yes I would Recommend you to take your car to 3m Car Care and do a 3M Car Wash and Wax. even a single polish would result good.

Apologies, pictures are taking some time Sir. However a quick question, Shall I change the oil at first service. I personally feel I should as it will clean all the minute granules if any. However would require some expert advise from all the gurus here.

No Problem Bro But Once you get it don't forget to Upload! And no need to change the Engine oil Now, As Soon in 10K Service They would change the oil Continue with maruti's Service Schedule Properly and your car would do be in a pristine condition, And i would recommend to use Roger's System-D Diesel Fuel Additive, As i use it since The day one of Buying my Ertiga and my car never Gushed smoke out of the Exhaust in a heavy acceleration. Controls Carbon Deposits. And in your next Engine oil Change Upgrade to Synthetic oil For better Smooth and Refined Drive.
Even I would advise against Teflon coating. There is some product from 3M (paint protection). Even I have not tried that, however was thinking of getting it done. Someone please advise if its same as Teflon or its some other methodology.

If its something Equal TO Teflon Coating Its Called Paint Sealant and it delivers a very clear and neat shiny coat.
I have heard of 3M paint protection film (or ppf).
i haven't heard of any 3M paint protection coating though
Yes PPF Mean Paint Protection Film and its a Transparent Film which is very stretchy and goes above your cars body panel, It will prevent your car from getting scratched.

Bro Ertiga's Stock tyres are better needed to be upgraded to a 195/65 R15 as on high speeds the grip levels need to inspire you confidence, Also as its a Jk Tyres Better upgrade, as the JK Tyres Lack Grip Considerably on High Speeds, They are very poorly built and the ride quality on a bumpy pot hole road not the best either, Better upgrade it to a Continental CC5 195/65 R15 Or Continental MC5 195/65 R15! i don't think dealer would take the stock tyres, Even if they, What if they Don't Have Continental tyres? Ask for how much rate will the dealer take the tyres for, And Ask at some tyre shops too, I gave my stock Goodyear Assurance tyres for 3000/- Each tyre outside at a Continental Tyre Shop Dealer.

Take a look at this Thread From Team BHP:http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/tyre-...yres-simply-crappy-manufacturing-quality.html

I Read a lot of horrifying stories online in different forums on JK Tyres and trust me all the forums Not only TAI Recommends to Swap the JK Tyres They are extremely Poor Built!

Hi Annadon,

Mine came with MRF ZVTS and i'll be changing it post 30 - 40k if it sustains. If you're planning to exchange your tyres it has to be done before 250 Kms to get a good resale. This was informed to me by a few dealers as initially even i was planning to change the shoes.

THANKS FORD FIESTA AND RERTIGAD FOR YOUR VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS/GUIDANCE
THE SALES GIRL SAYS NO TO TYRE EXCHANGE. SAYS TIRES COME FROM FACTORY AND CAN'T BE CHANGED/exchanged.
I am running beyond my budget , so tyre swapping and upsizing is unlikely... Will be with Jk's for 10k-15k then I'll upsize... I think i spent too much on accessories(?)
Can i go for 100/90 headlights bulbs?

I'll chat with showroom manager this time to change jk's to MRF... If he agrees that will be a good thing.

That's ok bro, it's me to ask apologies for asking too much questions....
They charge 3600rs (included in OTR PRICE)
For basic accessory kit. No freebies.... But im getting scratch card offer with assured minimum gift, lets see my luck!!

Its my pleasure sir,
Even i was in two minds regarding the headlight upgrade to 100/90. Didn't wanted to take chances with the warranty. Though i changed my headlights to Phillips extreme vision with the same OEM wattage (60/55). I can say its 10% - 15% better than the OEM bulbs which i compared with my friends car.

Your Welcome Bro, Am Always ready to help! And ask for a quote for your stock tyres and and new MRF, Continental or Michelin Tyres! it should cost less as your stock tyres are gonna reduce it to half the price[:)]. Just Think About it, And Regarding the headlamp bulb upgrade, I would advise you to change it to a Philips X Treme Vision Bulb Till car's warranty gets complete. I've changed it in both of my rockstar (Swift) and Champion (Ertiga) to the same, the results are satisfying.

Hi, i have contacted maruti through email regarding tyres. Now they replied with asking dealers address and my details. Should i give details of dealer. Will dealer abuse me for contacting maruti?
