a rat :\ there are 4 wires right and they are numbered as well. wire number 1 , wire number 2.

my santro's wire number 4 cost was some 350 rupees. so for the verna i can't guess

so did they charge you for towing the car ?

our car has a coil on plug ignition system unlike the other cars




the cables are detachable form the coil via a locking mechanism so costs to change the cable are not so high unless hyundais spares are high.

i guess it was the spark plug cable/the injector wire that the rats bit of. Its good you did not use the car, on my other car the cable had got damaged it was the highway at evening so i drove the car with only 3 cylinders working it was a pain major loss of pick up.

why don't you try keeping nepthalene balls/ tobacco pouches in the engine bay I've heard they do a good job in keeping rats away.

Haven't tried it. Never had such problems before. This is the first time I am experiencing. Will have to try something like this to get rid of the rat menace in the future.

The towing is covered under warranty (or insurance) I dont exactly know. So they didnt charge anything for towing.

They said if the damage is minor they will tape it and deliver the car today itself, if it is major, they have to replace the entire wire. Today being Sunday, they are very busy it seems and said they will deliver it tomorrow. Still awaiting a call from them.

One good thing about Hyundai is their Road Side assistance is good. they took just 30 mins to reach my home

Got the car back. The cut was minor on the fuel injector wire. They just taped it and charged Rs.280 as labor

So - this is where the wire was taped.

Gave the car a wash today.

Travelled for about 50 kms today within the city. This is what the MID shows - may be because of Saturday traffic.

I must say aristo thats one well maintained car! I see you haven't got the sunfilms removed?

 

[aristo_perfect]

Thanks Bobazooka!! Yes - I havent got the films removed. These days Chennai Traffic Police are not that strict like the initial days. So thought would give it a chance till I pay my first fine

I have observed the same seeing lot of cars with films on, i seemed to have removed them in haste.

my hands are itching to give the car a nice wash and apply the meguiars wax spray but due to rains can't do anything.
11.3 km/l in city traffic pretty amazing.

dude why 280 just for that.

today i saw even my santro's pipe was leaking petrol. bought the pipe for 30 rupees and 20 rupees labour from outside.

280 is a lot.

Same here but the rains are holding things back.

it seems like aristos car is the lucky one no fe issues or anything.
I think if i go drive another car now id really get good fe, thats how much the verna has polished my economy driving style.

This car has a liking for the 4th and 5th gear. I mean slot to 4th or 5th as soon as possible and even before braking let go the throttle in the 5th gear and do not lower the gear until you start accelerating again, the FE seems to increase.

Aristo the above method will bear a brunt on your clutch, its not advisable to be on higher gear at low speeds on the long run it would result in clutch issues.
