You're very welcome. Glad you're having a positive experience with the forum.

Hi guys,

I am having an issue with the audio in my car.

about 2 to 5 times per song there is a tiny audio stutter that is really ruining my vibes of listening to music in the car.

I am using android auto and a google pixel 6 connected via a usb cable streaming music with spotify.

I've updated the head unit to the latest version and tried quite a few things to try and remedy this issue such as changing battery optimization and a few developer options in the phone that I found on another forum. I've tried a couple of different usb cables.

Ive tired all the stuff in this thread Bluetooth skip and stutter except for changing the quality of the audio stream in spotify ( gonna try this tomorrow ).

I am guessing that its most likely an issue with android auto but I am hoping the vast knowledge on here may lead to a solution.

If anyone has any idea how I might fix this that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to keep scouring the internet though and will keep you updated if I find a fix for this.

@MKE.  Some random thoughts which may help troubleshoot your problem.  You said: I have tried all the things suggested by the local brains trust.  Did they cover any of the following items below.  (Please excuse that Items 1~4 cover the bleedin’ obvious, but I had to ask. 😊)

1.   Did you carry out your oil level test to gauge consumption with the engine always cold or always hot (for consistency/accuracy)?

2.   Any evidence of oil weep around the engine top and bottom, or in between, or on any undertray?

3.   Has your radiator coolant level increased at all?  Does the coolant feel okay to the touch i.e. not unusually slippery or smelly; or bubbles in the coolant when idling or revving.

4.   Is smoke coming out of the exhaust.  If so, what colour?  Does the volume of smoke change when accelerating?

5.   Has the engine been properly tested with a reliable compression gauge?  If so, what were the numbers for each cylinder?

6.   Has the engine been properly tested with a reliable vacuum gauge?  If so, what was the reading (gauge needle static or wavering)?

7.   Has the engine been properly tested with a reliable cylinder leakage gauge?   If so, what were the percentages (%) for each cylinder?

8.   Has the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PVC) system been checked?

9.   Has the engine’s oil pressure system been tested with a reliable pressure gauge?  If so, what were the results (at idle, or at a specified rpm)?

Can you provide any links to web sites discussing this class action.  Sounds interesting.

My first post...

My 2018  2.0 Petrol I 30 is using around 1ltr of oil every 1800klms. It has done 150,000 k's.  I bought it second hand with18,000 k's on the clock.  It started using oil early on and it has gradually got worse.  I have tried all the things suggested by the local brains trust including, changing oil brands and grades ,more frequent servicing (every 8000k's) and engine flushes. None of them made a difference.

Hyundai said it was was not a warranty issue when it was under warranty.  They suggest engine removal, strip down and a measure is needed to determine the problem.  Hyundai ( head office and the local dealer) will not acknowledge it is known problem despite there being a class action of other people having the same problem.  I have joined the class action.

My question s are:
Anybody else having the same problem?
Anybody had engine failure that was due to the problem causing the oil consumption.
Anybody have worse oil consumption or a car where consumption has stabilised?
Anybody had it fixed and what was needed to fix it?

Oil is relatively cheap compared to an engine rebuild but I do not want to have a failure that necessitates a new motor.  I have priced a secondhand motor ($8000) but my fear is that it would have the same problem?
