Problems Galore in my Palio


It has been long time since i left my Palio for service..Just to avoid frustrations with TATA. Now I have other no option but to go. Here are the problems I have now.. Please let me know what needs to be looked into and changed.

1. The clutch is too hard to press nowadays. I get severe leg pain after driving. Is replacement of 
clutch a better option.
 
2. The car from outside, sounds like a Diesel Car and I have very high noise inside the cabin. I am not sure whether it is coming from the Fan or from the dashboard.
 
3. The fuel indicator reacts slowly and always low fuel light is glowing and after driving for 15-20 kms it shows the correct fuel indication.

There are certain things in life we hate for sure but that does not mean you can't leave your car for service as per the service interval of 7500 km usage. I get mine done at every 5K.

No matter what do not miss the service intervals & later crib that the car has got spoiled. Dont't take this comment to heart. I meant in a lighter vein. Servicing the car which means Oil Change, Air filter, Oil Filter change, wheel alignment & balancing, topping up of other fluids, maintaining correct air pressure, checking the condition of the battery during service etc etc is very important for the car for its better functioning & also to ensure reliability & safety.

I am sharing with you a link & suggest please click on this & it will tell any one how to maintain your car at different kilometer intervals.

Maintenance schedule (Servicing)
 
To answer to your question below

1. Try Clutch bleeding / ask service centre to check the master & slave cylinder & clutch system to give you an idea. In all probability the time has com for you to change the entire clutch system from the way you have mentioned how hard it has become & you have signed off mentioning 50000 kms.

In case if you need to change the whole stuff then be prepared to meet the costs. This link below might help you to be prepared for the cost.

2.Regarding Noise levels inside the car i.e Petrol Car sounding like a Diesel - well I am not too sure, may be it is the 2nd fan motor that gets on at high temp & while the AC is on. Check this out with the service station.

3. Regarding the fuel indicator reacting slowly and showing correct fuel after 15-20 kms of driving is erratic. May be the service station might be able to tell you whether they can clean the sensor or get it changed if possible.

I also suggest please replace the spark plugs (interval is only 10000 kms) so if you haven't so far changed the sparks then please do so.

Regarding servicing it in Chennai - I believe there are quite a lot of members in hennai who can recommend good workshops.

Let us see who reacts from Chennai.

TATA FIAT ASS is fully preoccupied with indica and cabs. Please look out for a reliable servive station other than ASS. If you are closer to Anna nagar you can try RAMS Racing's Bosch service station. I strongly recomend them for their genuine advise and reasonable charges. The service station is on the road Just opposite to Concorde showroom in Mogapair.
