Shrudding Noise & Query on Diesel filter change @ 30,000 KM

I have two queries with regards to the Stile MJD.

1. Shrudding Noise : Whenever I kill the engine or run the car in lower rpm's in a higher gear there is a weired noise (vibration) from the engine bay.

The vibrations are not normal. I got the car checked at Prerana motors OMR and informed Sundar about the possible looseness of the gear box bedding. He agreed and added some rubber insulation on the same. The vibration at lower rpm's and the shrudder while killing the engine did reduce but it's no way near perfect.

Today I showed the car to Venkatesh of Gowri Automobiles and he immediately pointed out to the issue with the gear box / engine bedding. As per him, it is common problem with most Stile MJD's and the same needs to be changed ASAP. He also mentioned it's covered under warranty / extended warranty. Could anyone here with similar experience throw some light on the same along with a solution.

2. Diesel Filter : My car is soon due for the 30,000 km service and I was casually inquiring with Sundar about the cost. He mentioned that the diesel filter needs to be changed and is on the expensive side. It cost in the range of 2,200 bucks. Well, it sounds too high and after doing some search on team bhp, I found a similar confusion among members over there. As suggested by a DELHI owner aka 'ARCHITECT', its just the filter element that needs to be changed and not the whole assembly. The same costs 930 bucks as per him.

Kindly advice what should be done and will request Architect (if he is a member of PUG) to help me out as well. Somehow my membership has not been approved on Team Bhp on 2 occasions and hence, asking architect the query over here.
