Bosch doesn’t make brake pads for BS6 Tiago; and hence was offered TVS brake pads.
BHPian saurabhgupta710 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Resurrecting from ghost mode, here I am again!
As always, glued and on ghost mode to many updates.
For the last annual service, I did the shopping part on my own, went to an FNG, and got things done. After all items were sourced, TLC – detailed cleaning and washing/polishing, labor the bill was still less than my previous year.
items purchased:
- 4L Shell Engine oil; oil filer
- Air filter; cabin filter
- 2L coolant; of this 1L is still in reserve in the car – in case of any long drives
- 2L of Shell Gearbox oil – this is yet to be done.
- NGK Spark plugs
Apart from above, one fine day in city drive realized the brake was getting softer, so went for a check and lo-behold the front pads were worn out and hence replaced at Bosch, at ~39250 KM. Sad to know, Bosch doesn’t make brake pads for BS6 Tiago; and hence was offered TVS brake pads. The car has been working fine thereafter.
Thanks to office usage, the car runs mostly over the weekend, when I decide to venture out. But that might further drop – with update 2 below.
Also got Woodman’s front & rear dashcam installed.
As I type this, want to share with you all – 2 major updates:
- Toothless is about to kiss 47K on the ODO; never thought I would drive the car so much! or perhaps enjoy driving to this extent!
Though got too tempted to upgrade, but decided to not bite that!
Total Stats on Toothless:
- Total KM Run: ~47K Km
- Highway Run: ~ 28K Km
- Overall Mileage: 17 KMPL
So far, done about 650 Km, 1st service… and yes, of course, a few accessories too!
Signing off, for now!
