How a prize car became a prized car.
I have two cars - A 2009 Santro Xing (red) and a 2019 Santro (the prize car in question) and this thread is about the two cars.
I have run away twice from my license tests at RTO in my younger days, after developing cold feet and nearly ruining a few family member s cars in the meantime. Cut to 2007 when I was doing my PhD in Mumbai, when I finally got my license at a ripe age of 27. Having got a job, I finally mustered up the courage to buy a car and enter the 2009 Santro Xing. This after test driving a Zen Estillo and Alto. The car became my primary ride and has taken me to Daman, Lonavla, Pune, Alibag and Nasik (15000 km in 4 years). Low usage was mostly because I used to work in Mumbai High offshore for 15 days a month. The car has performed wonderfully and the pickup and highway manners is something to die for (a trait still strong after 12 years).
However, a couple of weeks later, intermittent squeaking noises began to emanate from the bonnet. This was accompanied by a drop in the engine s performance. It felt as though something was caught in the wheels and slowing the car down.

I write seeking your counsel on the concerning matter of my 2007 Maruti Zen Estilo LXi s problematic air conditioning unit.
In July 2019, about a year after I had relocated from Bangalore to Noida, the air-con in my Estilo stopped pumping in cool air. Assuming the NCR heat was somehow overwhelming it, I drove the car to the nearby authorised Maruti service centre (Rajesh & Anil Motor Co. in Sector 2, Noida). The service agent advised me to refill the coolant in the air-con unit, and so I let him. The cost of this fix was about ₹1,200.
