My Tata Altroz DCA at 5400 kms: Average fuel efficiency & other updates

The TPMS is throwing up audible and visual warnings once again in the MID.

BHPian W.A.G.7 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

A few quick updates and observations.

Monsoons have arrived, read that as “dirty cars” that need frequent cleaning. A daily drive compounds this problem even more. We will mostly get it cleaned up during the service scheduled next week. Here in the pic, you can see that the rear wiper has a good sweep & cleanup area; and is being put to good use.

The car has started throwing up the “Service Due” reminder frequently. We have a scheduled appointment for the 1-year/15,000 km service on 5th Aug 2023. This is the real “true” service in that sense, the prior two ones were more or less check-up and top-up services. I will update the experience once we get back the car from the service centre. Nitpick – The infographic showing the fuel level in the meter blind spots the actual information! Just wish there was a separate place for the fuel level infographic but it is a minor inconvenience!

The replacement valve for the front tyre has gone kaput once again. The TPMS is throwing up audible and visual warnings once again in the MID. We will need to get it replaced during the service this time. The tyre is good for sure – checked twice and found no punctures at all. it’s only the leaking valve that’s causing the low pressure. The second point to note here is the average fuel efficiency. Monsoons = traffic jams, which is equal to stop and go traffic; which in turn means a drop in the average fuel efficiency. It keeps hovering between 11-11.5 km/l in the city. The odometer stands at ~5400 kms.
