My dad does not want to spend any more on this car and wants to get rid of it since we bought a Maruti XL6 Alpha+ a few months ago.<\/h2>\n

BHPian HoldMaBeer<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Recently while going to his office in Pune, my dad experienced a catastrophic failure in his Sail-UVA. The car started bogging and eventually came to a complete halt with the whole instrument cluster getting blank (0 fuel, 0 odo and so on). He works in Nokia Telecom services and so he has a very busy schedule. He called for towing service to a garage in Pune and went to his office to attend a meeting via Ola.<\/p>\n

After a few hours, the mechanic told him that the ECM was shorted and needed replacement costing INR. 25665. They are not as knowledgeable and trustworthy as before this, they quoted him 15000 for replacing the security system (third-party system installed by dealer), when it was a simple case of the keyfob’s battery dying which I found while testing things myself.<\/p>\n

Now, my dad is in a dilemma as he does not want to spend any more on that vehicle and wants to get rid of it since we bought an XL6 Alpha+ a few months ago. I’m keeping him from selling the Chevy since I want to take it over when I start earning (a few months). I persuaded him to daily the XL6 as it has better mileage but he refuses to do so since he wants to keep it new.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures which he (the mechanic) sent:<\/p>\n

Since he is really busy with his work, he is never able to visit and observe the work done. Also, the workshop is in Pune and our permanent home is about 150+km away, so even I can’t visit. I’ve a few queries and would love to hear your opinion on it:<\/p>\n
