Kia Sonet 1.0 turbo IMT - 5 years 61k kms

I was driving and suddenly got an "Engine temp high" warning. The temp gauge was at the max temp. I stopped the car and checked. I saw a lot of lubricant leak. The engine oil was almost empty and the coolant level was also below minimum. The pic shows the coolant lid. I have got the car towed to the service center. I've yet to speak with them.

This happened just around 1000kms after the 60k service. After checking online, this seems to be a "blown head gasket" and costs a lot to repair and maybe the whole engine would seize or something.

Will I have to pay for this or is this the service center's fault since this happened around 2 weeks after the service? I have taken the photo and videos for proof and have not started the car after the warning. Could anyone tell me how to handle this?

I was originally hooked on buying an used S Cross 1.6 Diesel and I literally called every used car dealership, Suzuki Truevalue in my state (Kerala) but couldn't even find one. I have found a few cars on FB marketplace and OLX but most of them ran way above my liking and the good ones were loaded with mods.

I waited for around 2 years, but couldn't find one to my liking and ditched my attempt to get the powerful, efficient, practical, perfect machine.

Last year I test drove the i20 Nine after watching a review and I immediately loved the way it drove. I waited some more to finalize the decision and surely it helped in the form of tax reduction in August 2025. I finally made up my mind and took quotes from nearby dealerships amd the best price I’ve got is 13.49 Lakhs onroad with 2 years extended warranty and comprehensive insurance with all the add ons.

I took the delivery by myself last week and brought the car home. Feels like night and day compared to my 16 year old Ritz diesel which I still keep and care for.

Looks beautiful ,drives fast . IMO it looks unique in today's tubelight hyundai era.

Short trip to the mountains with family.

Hello guys I had this terrible accident today while reversing😔😔😔
Any idea on how do I proceed further?

Hello everyone,

I recently moved into an independent house where there’s parking space for only one car. The owner suggested that since I don’t use my car daily, it’s better to park it outside to avoid inconvenience to other tenants and for easier cleaning. So now I’m parking outside, which isn’t ideal.

My car isn’t new (a little over 2 years old), but it’s barely used just around 10,000 km so far. On the first day, I cleaned it thoroughly and covered it, but somehow the cover got torn maybe due to a dog or wind.

Now my main concern is protecting the car from dust and direct sunlight. I’d really appreciate any practical and budget-friendly suggestions.

Is this normal when I'm starting my car it seems like water coming from silencer

Today while I was driving towards my office I got hiss sound from my A/C and after that A/c isn’t working properly and the cooling is very minimal!! Need suggestions on how to rectify this issue

Any recommendations how this dent can be popped out without claiming insurance? Would be helpful if someone can recommend any body shop around Gurgaon

They are also giving foot mat, perfume, idol, madflop, door visior. Is it a good deal?
