50k for V2 and 86k in Wagon R in 8 just Months ??? Bro !!! Where do you drive this car I think that's a lot in 8 months and your warranty would also be on the verge of expiration. You usually don't get such high mileage in such a short period unless the vehicle is being commercially used.

BTW, These are the complaints which can easily be fixed at any dealership. Kindly share your contact details, if possible.

Can you please share the pics of both the cars ??? and from which Dealership have you been maintaining your cars ?

I have recently got the door rubbers installed from Karachi Dealership for free and so did few others users.

No sir not 8 months, they're being used for more than 12 months and yes both of these cars are being used commercially...

Tried both FAW SAJJAD and MOMENTUM motors of Lahore they usually have no clue about what they're doing with the car.

Lemme pm you my whatsapp details

You said 2017 model.
Anyway...commercial use does have its pros and cons. But still you should get your car checked at Lahore dealership.

Bro lemme tell you my experience with this car when it was used solely for personal home use for 5,000km's. And I'm attaching screenshots of emails that I sent to FAW as well...

These are the desi totka's they experimented on my car to block the heater piping to let the AC function

Join the FB group named "Proud owners of V2". It has FAW officials as admins. They will help you resolve these issues. I have not heard of such issues from other owners though.

A colleague has just bought local assembled. I have an imported one. There is not much difference apart from door rubbers and mud flaps. Rest all looks the same, apart from the new car smell from his car. Will share a detailed review in some days.

I fully agree with you about Sajjad and Momentum they do not have good mechanics.

Since your car car is edge of warranty better to take this to some trusted mechanic (Many good AC shops are there at Gangaram chowk).

I maintain my V2 like this and car is going excellent. Even last trip to babusar was an amazing experience.

About the AC make sure that inner circulation light is on otherwise AC will pull hot air from outside and will not work properly.

mzahid (mzahid) 2017-09-20 12:04:47 +0500 #3393

V2 is a superb car but the two dealerships in Lahore even mess up minor things like brake service.

ha125 (ha125) 2017-09-20 12:17:36 +0500 #3394

I would highly appreciate if you could recommend me to your personal AC technician that knows V2 well. And to be honest V2 engine and performance wise is excellent didn't felt underpowered at all.

Lastly, I'll agree to you entirely. I got V2 brake pads changed and serviced before taking to Trip and it proved to be disaster. Mehran like hard pedal still no stopping + at inclines Handbrake was literally useless to pull

If you have no problems in visiting Faisalabad, you can go to FAW lyallpur motors. They are very welcoming and have a really competent and great workforce. I hope they will resolve your issues satisfactorily.

mzahid (mzahid) 2017-09-20 12:29:09 +0500 #3396

V2 is a straight forward car to maintain, nothing special so any mechanic who works on JDM can do work on V2.

For AC work Punjab Car AC is the best at gangaram chowk, I am going there for more than last 10 years for my other cars. You find other AC shops nearby which provide cheaper solutions as well.

@umairalizafar and @mzahid
Thank You, I will try both of these options for the betterment of this vehicle

Last time when I went to Sajjad motors for brake service, instead of adjusting shoes by removing rear wheels they tightened the hand brake cable, which made the situation horrible.

I argued with them a lot but finally took car to my trusted mechanic and got it fixed in 10 minutes. Brakes are perfect after that.

that group is biased and shitty I was there too (or maybe still there didnt check lately) saw admin removing many people because there were experessing there openion about there purchase

umairalizafar (Umair ) 2017-09-20 14:37:02 +0500 #3400

I am there currently. May be it was different earlier, but I have seen people discussing their issues and problems freely. It has a lot of people in it now and people are mostly honest, as per my observation.

DeViL_UnLeAsHeD (DeViL_UnLeAsHeD) 2017-09-20 14:44:58 +0500 #3401

I am there since long time and most of the member removed were actually the V2 hater who joined that group just to disgrace and discourage the V2 and its users. They did not even owned a V2. Waisay bhi it is V2 Owner's Page.

Discussion there now are very original and people do help each other a lot.

mzahid (mzahid) 2017-09-20 15:04:05 +0500 #3402

I do check that facebook group, it is helpful to V2 owners, many posts are useful.
