Xeta – First Service Details

Time for first free service (FS) was up on 6th Jan. Even though my oddo read only 1600 in six months, I had to report for FS

I called TASC in advance for a booking. But that didn’t carry any value. Saturday (6th) around 10am I reported at TASC (Oberai Motoros, Dehradun). Car was put in queue and attended shortly.

As per manual there is not much to be done in first FS, wash, routine checks etc.. only. Service adviser (SA) suggested and made it
optional to change engine oil. He told about a air pressure cap for tubes. I opted for both.

I had one complaint, regarding my power window. F/RHS power window was having trouble winding up. It was shown to TASC 2 times before. SA assured me that it will be taken care. Request for another coat of paint protection and under body treatment was also agreed upon unpaid.

I had a plan to fit heater (HV/AC) in my GLS (Only AC now), SA said it will cost 4K + 1.5K labor. In one of the previous posts in TIUG yahoo groups, heater fitting cost was 4K inclusive of labor, so I dropped the idea for now

I left the car and came back, expected delivery time was 5.30

Around 4.30, I reached TASC. But car was not in vicinity. I waited around 15 minutes or more to get the invoice, as it was getting generated from Mumbai (now centralised billing from Tata, a good move for customers). I paid the bill
of 1500 (4 litr engine oil, 200ml addictive, 4 air tight caps for tyres, and taxes.

Invoice mentioned about work done on F/RHS power window winder. But result was same, more over there was a big bang sound when the glass touched bottom (some bush missing?)

I reported the same to SA. He called in the technician who attended to this. He tried few times and told me that it is because of water and will be alright in no time. Regarding the sound, he was very passive until I operated F/LHS window where sound of glass touching the bottom was nominal. Then both SA and technician agreed to look into it
another day

I didn’t experience any remarkable difference in driving after this FS. While giving the car for FS, I forget to mention about mileage, which is around 9km/ltr now. Now I hope it will improve, for FS and my driving habits

Work done

1. Wash, checks, top-ups (hope it is done)
2. 4 Ltr Engine oil, 200ml additive and oil filter (paid)
3. Second coat of paint protection (paint felt very smooth, foam coat or wax?)
4. No under body treatment was done, as previous coat was found ok (I doubt this, I knew about 2-3 major scratches under the hood)
5. Window winder check (I doubt this, problem persists and aggravated too with a bang sound)
6. Fitting of 4 air pressure caps costed me 113 incl taxes, this costs only Rs. 50 outside,

So pending issues are

1. Power window breaks in up winder and sound in down winder
2. Mileage, idle rpm?

PS: Make sure to remove all accessories like cd player head, tools, car cover, kits & spares in glow box, etc.. before giving your car for service. Better keep it at home than TASC’s safe vault (a small vault was available with Oberai Motors’ gate keeper.
