    My dealer also told me that the engines for R15 are made in Indonesia&Malaysia. Mine's from Indonesia-he says the better of the two. However, he never told me about any difference in character of the two engines!

        I agree.. I have done nearly 7000 kms and never seen such a problem... but just recently i realized that the fan doestnot start when the engine gets hot..esp during heavy traffic.. rather the coolant indicator glows.. but when i checked the coolant.. it was filled to the brim...

              [Edit/Add] It will be great if every member of this forum stays that way which is "Exaggeration to the limits" otherwise it really feels heavy sometimes.

              And yes the Astra makes a 0- 60 in about 14 not 4 secs (with perfect shifts). Did not understand how a Baleno eats it for every meal having 16 bhp and 7 cc more. (Perhaps the context is not fit for this forum).
              Precisely my point sir.... There is a lot of stuff that goes on deciding the top whack... the CC and the bhp are just variables which matter but are not the only deciders...

              @Samarth... good point...

                    Although the cc is the same, things like the CR, bore/stroke, components weight, ports, head design, efficiency, weight of the engine, frictional losses, pumping losses, fuelling, transmission, transmission losses, overall mass etc etc will decide the on-road performance of an engine/car/bike.
                    FYI a 993cc MPFI zen produces 60bhp while a 1200cc Fiat Palio produces 72bhp on paper. But in real world performance, the Zen will smoke the palio effortlessly. Literally.
                    Never go by an engine's on-paper figures.
                    We have enough examples of the p220/p200/p180/p150 which look amazing on paper. On road performance is something else.
                    This is how a 1.6L Baleno chews a 1.6L Astra to death.

                      Still going to Pearl, but I guess there is just one mechanic named Prasad who knows in and out of R15.. but its had to get hold of him..

                          Ok, I'll try to catch hold of him too-need to go for my 3rd service in a week or so. Last time this other guy filled up some coolant&was demanding a 100 buck tip for that!

                            100 bucks tip!!!???? Here, I was charged a 30 bucks, that too on the bill to fill up the coolant! The whole coolant-can itself will cost u only that much at a petrol bunk.....

                              Awesome bro... Kudos to R-1-5. That looked dangerous as well.

                                BTW though i agree, but I really feel you should remove that comment from your above post...
                                Such flaimbaits will only add more misery in the thread!
