Re: Tata Zest XM (Revotron) Ownership Review

Hi Akash,

I also faced this today morning. Were you able to get it rectified?
Is it a serious matter?
See attached pic.
Hi Paawan,
Sorry for the delay in responding to your query. Since the delivery of my car (which was a year ago) I've been facing this sensor problem. The very first time I visited the service center, the person in charge witnessed and accepted that there was a coolant temperature sensor malfunction and he did some "jugaad". The issue got resolved for a couple of months. But the problem started all over again where the temperature reading was showing unstable in the gauge. It took me a few more visits (including the burning of fuel at my own cost and a test drive of the other zest to prove that the temperature reading remains stable for the whole journey, i.e. 3 bars) to convince the service people that there actually was a genuine problem. Just a few days back, I managed to get the faulty sensor replaced with a new one.

Is there any engine heating issue with this car ?

I am planning to Replace the XMS Fog lamp with XT fog Lamp.
Also, to add the Theft Alram.

Could you suggest some assoceries to make the car more interesting ?

I am a new Driver. I am planning to take the car from Chennai to Odisha (1100 Km approx.)

Do you think, It is good to run the new veichle for long trips ?

I dont feel its really needed
Also, to add the Theft Alram.
The engine already is equipped with immobiliser so the car will not start with any other key.

XMS model dosent have reverse parking sensors go for that.

If you are a new driver 1100 kms is a very big strech. I will suggest get used to this car
first and then plan the trip

Do you think, It is good to run the new veichle for long trips ?
Yes that is fine just dont exceed your RPM beyond 1500 for the first 1800 kms

I find a very weird issue with my zest xms petrol

When a/c is on i am getting all kinds of outside road smell inside the car.

There is also a slight drop in pick up with a.c

I press the ice crystal button

I rarely use the button with arrow mark near the a.c

Sorry didn't know how to explain my issue

Hi Kishore,

Guess you are not using the aircon in recirculation mode which will force outside air to come inside and that could be the reason for the smell. Drop in pick up with HVAC ON is normal.

In xms model when we switch a.c on there are two buttons below it.

One is car symbol with arrow mark om left and another is crystal symbol in right side.

Which is the one you mentioned ?

Will be booking Zest XT 1.2 RT Sky Grey today!!! Super excited.........
Please someone tell me I am making the correct decision. I am sure about my choice and I love this car, but everyday, so many negative comments from different person about TML are clogging my head. I don't have a problem, but my parents are skeptical, listening to all the comments. I have to really convince them, but later if I am proved wrong, I will be in a very bad situation!! :P

Please let me know that I am doing right by making an "Us against the world" decision!
