[Resolved]  Fiat Palio — NO SERVICE CENTRE IN SUBERB

Fiat Palio cars are marketrd without good service, repairs & spars facilities ever since it was launched unlike Maruti. Besides there are very unscrupulous garrages everywhere who tae advantage of Palio owners in trouble. The gentleman who complained of a garrage claiming to be authorized repairer but was not has committed criminal offence by cheating.
I own a Palio 1.2 ELX and am very knowledgeable mechanically, What could be said when the timing belt snaps and the car is still moving is that there is no engine lubrication for moving parts and ruins the engine. The timing belt is to be replaced periodically and unless this is done such accidents will happe.
The other gentleman who complained of accident repair delay could be facing shortage of parts from FIAT and not necessarily a problem by the repairer..

I had faced a problem of coolant leakage in my Palio. It took me over one month to get a new water pump assembly.from Fiat India.

After collecting a car from the repairer it as to be watched very carefully for the next 500 kms. To squeeze more money from owners unscrupulous garrages will intentionally ruin some part or switch parts. Owners should ensure that only original parts are used. The Delhi-Gurgaon belt is famous for spurious spares for not only Fiat Palio but most Indian made cars.

I own a Fiat Palio 2002/03 Petrol model. It was fine but of late it has developed some technical snag due to which it has started giving starting trouble. When cool it starts fine but after it gets hot it some times misfires and stops or breaks down anyhow. Once the engine cools down it stsrts normally, but in hot condition it doesn't start. Could you throw any light as to what is actually wrong with the vehicle.
