Experince with Omni E

Some (hmmm...not right) most of the lesson are learned in hard way. This suits for every person. I learned some most important lessons while driving in hardd way. Last Saturday i started my journey from my home town to BLR. Loaded the petrol and start driving checked the spare tire (stepney commonly in india) which is good condition. So started my journey towards the destination. Maintained a speed of 80 to 90 KM/h along the course checked the fuel in between which was ok. After some 2 hours of driving i noticed one of the lights on the dashboard started glowing.. i was curious but it was on the highway so i waited to enter some town to check whats the indication meant kept on driving...Entered a city there is unusual sound coming from the engine so we stopped the vehicle.
checked the dashboard clearly my god the temperature is on highhhhh. we stopped the vehicle were struggling to open the radiator to check at last we succeed. i have seen those kind of heat from the engine in some movies now i experienced the same in my vehicle ..we waited for some time poured some water and waited the temp to come down..it came down bit so our next plan is to take the vehicle to garage and check. We took the vehicle to a local garage and he said the upper horse connecting the radiator and engine got damaged so he said that needs to be replaced we agreed and after replacement we started again we drove some distance and found again the same thing is happening so drove back to same garage guy.He told he needs to open the engine and check further The time was almost 9 PM, i decided to go an authorized service station. So halted the night at Gobi's uncle house .

The very next day went to the authorized guy for check. He said the same thing as the local guy. They opened the engine and found the head had some issues he said it will take easily two or three days to repair that. No going back we accepted for the changes and work is currently going on.


The entire story could be avoided if before traveling radiator water, engine oil and coolant has been checked and my negligence in doing that has caused this. luckily there was no family members traveling with me at that time it was just us so we managed this situation.

So the hardd lesson do check the above said things before starting a trip and keep an eye on the temp if anything seems suspicious stop immediately and call the on road service guys to assist you.
