30,000 km service update:
It’s been a while since the last update. No news is good news. The car is just running fine without any issues. It completed running 30K kms last week and got the fifth service done at Advaith Kia, Lalbagh. The only complaint I had was that there was a faint squeaking noise heard from the rear of the car when driven over uneven surfaces. SA did a small TD and identified the issue to be with the torsion beam axle bush. It was replaced under warranty. Since the replacement required some time, I was asked to keep the car in the service center overnight. The noise is gone for good. The overall service experience was great as usual.
SA was constantly sending videos and images of all the work being done in WhatsApp:
Service costs – The costs can indeed be brought down by getting things like wheel alignment, polishing, etc done from outside but I don’t have time to do multiple runs for those jobs and hence try to get everything done at just one place:
The running is mostly on highways to places around Mangalore which has roads in horrible condition.
City runs have increased a bit with the hybrid work model. The funny part is that I always get higher FE in cities rather than highways. I drive to the office at odd times and it’s not uncommon to see such FE statistics while I get only around 15-17 kmpl on highways:
