Oh happy to see the car back in shape again, There's an OE finish in the bumper, but some color difference is there with the bumper and the body (see the second pic and the right fender) Don't know if this the camera's effect or not.

Yes Buddy, that is an OE Finish,

BTW, In person, I didn't find any difference. Even in the first pic also I can't able to find the difference. All the Pics are taken in my Samsung 5MP camera. that may be the reason, Will update the clear pics and close up pics by this weekend.

@Visran & Jagover : Thank you friends [:)]

Guys,

Here is the story on the Delivery day of Whity,

On Saturday I went to TATA dealer Vellore around 12Pm and thought my car would be ready. But, the car was not ready and there was some strange sound from A/C condensor. So that, mechanics was about to ananlyse the problem and they said, if any problem found, then the delivery could be postpone to Monday.

At 1:00Pm , I left the showroom and decided that I can't take delivery of Whity on Saturday.

Paint room of TATA dealer, Vellore:

This is the condition of Whity around 1:00pm:

After having my lunch at home,around 5:00pm Myself and my Dad went to TATA dealer in two bikes to check the status of Whity. to my shock, My car was

ready. they rectified the problem of A/C condenser and done a water wash and vacuum.

Whity was ready Around 5:00pm:

Paint Quality of Bonnet:

Every thing was perfect, and the Insurance guy took the photos of my car. As we are not aware of delivery, we kept the cash at home itself. So I decided to use my credit card. SE called to billing department and asked to take the payment without tax.

Damaged parts during accident:

2013-02-23 17.51.46.jpg

Around 6:30pm, I took the delivery and went to home happily. my dad took my bike and I asked my friend to take my Dad's bike.

Totally we paid Rs.17K. which includes the A/C gas, Condenser belt, Break oil, Power steering oil and some other things which are not covered under
insurance. Still the amount is not approved by Insurance company. once they approved the exact amount, then only we came to know the amount that we have to pay. If the amount is less, Insurance company will return the remaining amount. But, it will take some 2weeks for approval.

Ready to enter the Road:

Guys,

Urgent help needed. What is the exact grade of SYNTHETIC oil for Vista. Today I learnt that it is 15W-40 Mobil1 for Vista and service interval is 20K for Synthetic oil. But, I doubt the expertise of the service agent. Can you throw some light on this?

@ AppU;
The last pic looks fantastic in its content. Something like snake removing its old skin and wearing a brand new one..[;)]

@Hari

Please stick to the mineral oil at the moment for many reasons as synthetic oil is not seems to be good for the performance of Vista. My BIL has gone for this and the car started behaving abnormal friends

Synthetic oils should be changed after run-in period ie., 10k kms.

Gurralla Sir, has your BIL flushed the engine before filling the synthetic oil? Also the air filters should be changed.

That's startling to hear [surprise]. Isn't this applicable to QJD rather than Vista?

Current odo reading is close to 9K on my vista and this is my first oil change. I'm seriously looking for free-revving engine and better mileage and hence decided for Synthetic. I would get the oil for free from my close relative's shop that is why preferring Synthetic oil.

SA suggested 15W-40 Mobil1 but I doubt. I remember reading it as 5W-40 somewhere. Also, SA says Synthetic oil life is 20,000KM. Isn't that too long?

@Vishwas, Hari

The change to synthetic oil was done at TASS, but some how there are kind of more engine noise, vibrations we found. We really do not know what they have poured in [surprise]

Even my Ritz is also having same engine and when I have enquired with a very close works manager of Maruti, he suggested me to go with mineral oil and get the car serviced for every 10k kilometers, ofcourse that was not with any kind of commercial reasons.

That was my experience with synthetic oil which may be correct and wrong to.

@ Appu, the paint work has very neat finish.

The TASS has done excellent job.

@Jagover:

Loved your sentence, Nice comparison Bro[;)]

@Hari:


Even my SE also recommended to use Mineral oil instead of Synthetic oil and he mentioned, TATA motors advising Synthetic oil for Manza but the service interval has reduced from 20K to 15K due to some noise in engine after 17K from changing the Synthetic oil. SE advised us to use Mineral oil and asked us maintain regular service for every 10K kms, that is good enough maintain vista without any issues.

@Anshuman & Thegreatv:

Yes friends, TASS has done a wonderful job[clap]
