"White Whale" Comes Home: Tata Manza Quadrajet Ownership Report

[THE_DRIFTER]

Update time fellas!!
Manza completed 85,000 kilometers 5 days before and what could be a better gift for her other than new shoes!!
Day before yesterday i went to my nearest tyre shop and he first showed me Bridgestone B250 which were used on a Ciaz for 15-20 days.I thought to go fit new tyres and suddenly he showed me some "Kenda" brand tyres and the size was 185/60 R15 and he even gave me 45 kilometers warranty!!!!. I have only 1 pic cause i was busy just in seeing my car getting new shoes!!

Congrats on the new footwear!
Did'nt enquire about the Yokohamas?

Kenda is durable brand , but has harder rubber than bridgestones but much more lighter than MRF's

Well i didn't thought of any other tyre when he showed me these.

Kenda is durable brand , but has harder rubber than bridgestones but much more lighter than MRF's

I really didn't knew what thing this Kenda is until i fitted these on my car. The road noise has increased a bit compared to earlier MRF's which were 195/60

The thread pattern is similar to MRF .
For rough use its a better choice than MRF .
Not that MRF is bad brand , MRF perfinza is good , my swift is running in stock ZVTV's and now its 31kkm , my friend's city also had ZVTV's which lasted till 45k , so assuming 40-45k as its life.

Hello guys, its time for you all to help me out!!!
Yesterday the car refused to start. The worse part being that this happened when i was driving alone at 11:30 PM at a highway with ni lights.
What happens is that i put the car in ignition and then whenni turn the key full to start the engine, a click sound happens and there is no crank in engine.
I really dont know what has happened with the car. BTW, i have started the car 7 times after this incident and out of 7 times it didnt crank 3 times. Please help me i dont know what needs to be repaired or replaced.

It seems like Immobilizer issue.
Do the Dash lights come on Normally?

BTW how did you start it? How did you come home?

All the lights on dashboard come on normally.

Check all the fuses in Fuse box for Carbon or Loose contact.
Also check battery terminals for loose contact or Corrosion.

I think it is Battery issue .

Well sir, thanks for the advice but battery was replaced last month with a new Amaron battery.

 

[VISHNUCARCRAZY]

Can u make a video of the same and post when the issue occurs again (Upload in youtube , and a link will do ).

Check with Starter motor (Bendix may misfire ) .(Saying as you have replaced battery) .

 

[THE_DRIFTER]

Update time guys!!!
Today got a call from Dad and came to know that he had not gone on a tour but to get the car repaired and get some accessories!!!
Si first thing is that the car was not starring properly due to some ignition coil needing replacement, this stuff coated me Rs.1200.
As the repair guy is my dad's friend, he offered a discount on an accessory and that was a reverse camera!!!. At this time, many of you would think why would someone need a reverse camera on a sedan but guys believe me manza had one of the worst rear viewability. And also sometimes children can't be seen playing behind the car.
So the one i installed is a unit that supports reverse camera and also music/movies/photos from pendrive etc.
Well i have not seen it in person as the car Will come home tonight so will get u all a truckload of pics of the reverse camera . Well you all try to guess what would be the cost and then i would tell whose correct!!
