1. ORVM Damage and Renewal Timing

I recently damaged my right-side ORVM and need to get it repaired through insurance.

About 2 months ago, I had already taken one insurance claim for bodywork repairs.

My insurance policy expires on 26th of this month.

Would it be better to:

• Raise the ORVM claim before policy expiry, or

• Renew the policy first and then claim?

Will making another claim before renewal significantly affect my premium or NCB?

2. Renewal Premium Confusion

Current insurer: ICICI Lombard

Renewal quote received directly from ICICI Lombard:

• IDV around ₹8 lakh

• Zero depreciation

• RSA

• Key cover

• Other add-ons

• Premium around ₹41,000

However, when checking online:

• ICICI Lombard is available for around ₹12,000–₹13,000 with similar add-ons and IDV around ₹7 lakh.

• HDFC ERGO is available around ₹14,000 with similar add-ons and IDV around ₹10 lakh.

Why is there such a huge difference?

Would you continue with ICICI Lombard or switch to HDFC ERGO in this situation?

Any inputs from people who have recently renewed their policies would be appreciated.

Hi all,

Started seeing this service icon as 21 days left on the dashboard in my Altroz .

My first servicing was done in mid march.

What does that sign indicate?

RATS bitten wiper water outlet pipe. Can I know the cost for replacement?

There is a foul smell from the AC as well. What to do for that

Will RAT mesh be helpful in this situation ? I'm spraying peppermint oil spray in the engine bay area to avoid RATS into car for time being.

Please suggest

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone changed the inner door handle latch from the old Gen Altroz to the new Gen like below image? Is it possible, and if done what is the cost to do this change?

I bought the car last year in around September from Spinny, Altroz XZA with Sunroof. I have driven around 15,000 kms so far. During first few months, average Fuel Efficieny was around 9-10 kmpl. I started driving mindfully, and by January I was getting around 12kmpl. I measure tank to tank.

From March onwards, I am able to squeeze in around 14.5-15 kmpl. From May-26 mid, I the efficiency increased further to 16.5kmpl.

Today after refilling, I got 19 kmpl. The time from when I started being mindful, I have driven 9.6k kms and overall efficiency is around 13.5 kmpl.

Changes that I made -

1. Fixed the petrol pump. I make sure to refill from the same petrol pump.
2. Avoiding unnecessary acceleration and sudden braking. I am soft with the pedal.
3. I monitor the instant fuel efficiency, I make sure that the Instant efficiency is atleast around 15- 20/25 out of 30 kmpl.
4. I engage cruise control at Expressway. My daily route is from Paschim Vihar, Delhi to Sec-62, Noida, I leave a bit early and take the Outer Ring Road towards, Bye-Pass, Kashmiri Gate and then to Mathura expressway. Get down at Khoda Underpass and move towards Sec-62. At Mathura Expressway, I maintain Cruise control at 70kmph. Sometimes, I also take India Gate - Pragati Maidan Tunnel - Mathura Expressway route - result is same.

The post is for the people out there who feel that the car gives poor mileage.

Also, I am open to suggestions from people who are able to get better efficiency.

After 42,000 kms my car is due for a tyre replacement. Can anyone suggest which one to go for if anyone has changed the original tyres and why? I want a balance of good grip, life and nvh.

Just booked Altroz Accomplished + S in Bengaluru. I am financing it via my company lease policy which also allows accessories to be a part of total package. Also, having these accessories from TATA won't void any warranty.

Need help on which accessories I should go for.
