Hello fellow TIAGO owners.
Has anyone of you kept the car idle for long duration ?
I had left my car idle for 1 month and then 25 days sometime last year. Everytime when I came back the car failed to start. There was problem with battery losing charge because of idle state.
When I complained to tata motors they said car should be started once a week so that there is no starting problem. When I further probed them, the person replied that water was more than required in battery hence it lost gravity.
But this time, my car was left idle for 9 days only and the problem reoccured. Even the central locking does not work. Is it a defect to my unit or is the bahavior common across.
My friends who own other brands never face such a problem. My neighbour has maruti Omni and alto, but the car starts easily even when kept idle for more than 40 days.
Please help. I have sent mails to concorde motors and tata motors waiting for their reply. But I want expert views of you guys to tackle the responses they give this time. I am a novice driver and this is my first car.
Regards
Ratan
