Allahabad road was under-construction at time so we stuck there in traffic like 4-5hrs and have to take rest at Kanpur then again next day near kalpi bridge we got stuck around 4hrs all over India highway work is going on so that was the only issue we face during our trip.
we have rerouted our returning journey to avoid kalpi bridge traffic so we opted via jhansi-Agra-Lucknow-dhanbad and what's on luck we got stuck at jhansi Agra highway, but i must say everyone should try express Highway it's a wonderful experience we have done 336km from Agra to Lucknow in 3&1/2hrs and we have taken two breaks in between. When highways get done with its construction work it would be fun to drive on Highway. Total toll we have paid Rs.3700 approx round the trip and got almost 17 kmpl average in this trip all time AC on

Very cute pic of that boy you posted.Must be your son,I guess. How did he cope up with the journey.
Nice sunset pics. Very good to hear that Nexon doesn't tire you out on long trips.

Completed 11000kms. Nexon Life is continuing without any problems.
Iam getting an average of 18 consistently in the city driving.
The pull of the revotorque is addictive. I appreciate it very much. Especially when I upgraded from petrol Swift which had a very poor low end torque. So for me it's a Big leap from petrol Swift to Diesel 1.5litre Nexon.And this is totally welcome.
I used to stall the Swift often in city driving. It was very irritating and panic provoking in heavy traffic.
Nexon on the other hand is actually difficult to stall. You need a poor or really stupid driving to achieve this.

DIY CLEANING AC- AIR FILTER / PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AIR FILTER IN MY NEXON
Of late AC performance in my Nexon was decreasing.The cooling was alright but the flow of air had decreased quite a bit.So I got down to finding the AC air filter in Nexon. It was on the passenger side foot-well. It was difficult to reach,and needed removal and dismantling of few plastic dashboard panels.This was what I disliked.It should not be this way.Moreover its almost impossible to take out the air filter without bending the casing!! The glove compartment iron bracket prevents the air filter from coming out fully ! Bad engineering from the service point of view.
Compared to it my XUV air filter is better accessible.On taking out the filter I found it to be choked completely.I cleaned it up by washing it with soap and water.Yes it is washable because its made up of mesh and plastic.Now thats a good thing,it can be reused after cleaning.
Dirty filter
After cleaning by air pressure
last difficult to reach screw
plastic cover of the air filter
cooling coils and the evaporator,after vacuuming
removal of the plastic panels and brackets.warning: you might break the plastic touch buttons if not careful
panel removed completely. Note the AC airflow window. Its not a dummy opening as thought before. Air actually comes out of it!!
Tata has very neatly packaged the wiring and all.
this is the air filter housing
gear shifter wires and assembly base
This DIY took me 1 hour,The satisfaction of doing it was immense.I had little bit spare time so I went ahead and did it.If you dont like bending your body and straining your beck dont do it.If you have lower back problem/pain dont do it or postpone it till you are alright.
On requesting the service centre to do this job they asked me to send the car for a full day.They said they will drop the car in the evening. Not a possibility in my case.

Just a random picture. I love the way fog lamp housing chrome integrates with the black plastic,covering it from the sides.Very detailed and excellent touch.

Engine oil leak in my Nexon.
Today , I hit a dog accidentally ,while coming out of parking at crawling speed. The dog was NOT hurt. It ran away,but as a habit I reached home and inspected the under-body for any damage. I was surprised to find out oil leak from the sump area.There was not a single drop spilled in the parking spot.No dripping only wet sump .That is why I got no clue so far. Oil level has also come down by a quart in the dipstick.This decrease in level I was observing for past 2 months.Since I could not find any obvious source of leak,I thought maybe new diesel engine uses some oil as it is not bed in. Because of rains for past 2 months I was not bending down/crawling under car/slithering below engine,to avoid wetting my clothes on wet floor.Otherwise maybe it would have been caught earlier. Anyway thank God for that poor dog,I had no intention for looking below there.
Looks like sump drain bolt is loose.Will look it up in the morning.
these pics I took today.

sump has oil leakage
leak is centred around the drain bolt
Decreased oil level in dipstick

Exactly the same thing happened with my Nexon XMA, but there was a miniscule oil drip on the floor as reported by me.
Get the washer replaced and then check.

Looks like TATA is reUsing the Copper crush washers. Which is not the correct method. Mahindra always replaces the washer.
Getting such leaks at Safari Underbody too, Which was pointed out when I was getting the slave cylinder inspected. Got the Nut & Oil filter tightened.
Note- Some of this is due to oil spilled when putting new oil. Leak is not that massive.

Engine oil leak in Nexon followup
Things like these are not trivial for me.I never take this lightly.I promised myself I will get up early,get under the Nexon,and properly clean all the oil smudged parts and try to find out the root cause of the problem. And all this BEFORE my morning tea,and even BEFORE any and all daily work. I did just that.
After all Nexon is my patient and I have got to treat it properly!!
I cleaned up every thing thoroughly after raising the car by 3 inches and getting underneath the sump.Took out my tools,to see what is loose and what is not.I also found out that coolant has decreased a bit,and so that is also going in the to do list.
The sump bolt is tight enough.It did not turn at all,not even by a mm.Now all I can do is wait and watch.

tools for the job
the bolt with the reused copper washer,supposed to be the culprit

It looks like sump plug is leaking.Within a day of cleaning and all ,I found that it is wet again.
Stupidity of TASS.
Nanofreak had said.... Get the washer replaced and then check.
You were correct sir,thank you.
