Diesel Fuel Pressure

That's ridiculous, if they fitted a fuel pump under warranty, then this complaint that you have, has still NOT been repaired, so whatever it takes, it's a warranty job, no argument, IMO.

got my i30 back today it is the same as before it went in to get repaired blowing heaps off black smoke they now saying that it is the injector that are blocked which i have to pay for up to $900 each

Not good enough

.. What can we do to help folks

My first suggestion would be to ask for the dealer principal at the servicing dealer and he is not helpful (or indeed available) Contact Hyundai Australia directly.. (keep a record of all your correspondence)

Also refer them to this thread, by all means ..

Which dealer are you having this trouble with ..? someone might know of a better dealer nearby

Is the dealer telling you that or Hyundai direct??

If we look at the history of your complaint we've had cracked filter housing, fuel pump & rail replaced, jammed #3 injector and now dirty fuel. This is absolute rubbish. Clearly they haven't got a clue what is wrong.

How do you get dirty fuel, that's what the fuel filter is for! Is there a way to have your fuel tested. If it is clean, then Hyundai should be made aware and have their arses kicked for making unfounded assumptions.

My feeling is that they figure they have spent enough on this vehicle.

Hi Guys, I have had enough of dealing with hyundai service center after my cars faults.
They replaced the fuel filter assembly to fix an air leak, replaced fuel rail and tubes and injector pump to fix no rev over 3000RPM issue ( suspected low fuel pressure ) This condition has existed since 13K and until last fortnight had not been remedied. Now my car has 18K on the clock. The last thing i was told was it was not a warranty issue now as they found algae and all sorts of gunk in my tank. I allowed them to rectify this and my car runs as if it is new again. my invoice report does not specify a tank clean but states i was charged for a new fuel filter,on car injector service and throttle body clean. It also recommends that i use a fuel treatment for the next few months to prevent any more problems. this had cost me $716.
now i am very paranoid about what was actually wrong with my car and what they actually did to fix it.
So i doubt that i will ever fully trust any service place , hyundai or other, after what i have had to go through recently.
So it is no surprise to me that they have told you it is your fault for getting a contaminated tank of diesel because it seems an easy way for them to put the blame on something else rather than claim responsibility for a warranty fix that will give them no end of trouble before they can fix it in a timely manner. They will inspect the fuel system entirely and solve your problem and you will be none the wiser. Plus they will extract money out of you for your added pleasure!!
hope you can get your car fixed soon mate.

Which brings us full circle to the 1st post, these cars should have a glass bowl filter.

I agree with your post, I hope your car is running ok now.

angus · **Reply #37: November 17, 2011, 11:08:19**

Yes Thanks 847563, my car is running as good as the day i bought it brand new and i hope it continues to do so. Knock on wood

A very sorry state of affairs ..

I wonder weather any members who are near you have a good mechanic contact who can take a look .. If you have to pay maybe an independent can fix it a lot cheaper

Edit: I assume you still live in Lang Lang Victoria (so good they named it twice)

It is certainly a tricky one.. It is not a common occurence for our members so you have been really unlucky.. Sounds like your local garages have "issues" with their fuel

**Reply #43: November 22, 2011, 06:35:53**

i took the injectors into a shop to day they are stuffed looks like its going to cost up to $500 each to fix

no warranty because thay say dirty fuel ????? i get my fuel from work for free we use 1500 lt of fuel a day so it new and we change fuel filters on my dredge everey 1000 hours because the fuel is so clean

That makes it even trickier in some ways

**Reply #45: November 23, 2011, 10:03:37**

How is dirty fuel going to bugger up all of your injectors - they are just electro - mechanical valves.. You have a fuel filter between the tank and the injectors designed to remove solids? They are playing games with you.\
PS - Be very wary about what you post on any site regarding your source of fuel.

**Reply #46: November 25, 2011, 07:00:05**

ok i just got the phone with a fuel injector shop they said the injectors are faulty not from bad fuel or water so hyundai will have to pay for new ones

Phil №❶ · **Reply #47: November 25, 2011, 07:06:50**

AND SO THEY SHOULD !

**Reply #48: November 25, 2011, 09:44:55**

yes they should but it has cost me $300 so far for test they still say it water in the fuel trying to get out of paying for the injectors

If they agree and replace them FOC under warranty you should have a good case to claim back the cost of the tests and possibly some compensation for your time and trouble (small claims court maybe? - if they don't at least agree to cover the cost of the tests...)

Shambles · **Reply #50: November 25, 2011, 12:08:46**

If you don't ask, you don't get. You have a strong case for "adequate compensation" to cover your costs

just got phone call from hyundai they are going to replace under warranty

ok last update i hope we pick up the i30 on sat morn all fixed so nick said at hyundai no smoke and starts first time i hope no car for over 5 weeks

Phil №❶ · **Reply #56: December 02, 2011, 10:31:39**

Can you get a report of what was wrong and how they fixed it. I'd be interested to know whether the fuel tank was drained & flushed.

**Reply #57: December 05, 2011, 07:04:06**

no they never look at the tank but i check it myself before it went to hyundis it is easy you just lift up the middle back seat undo some screws there is the tank 8 bolts to take out the sender unit two hose and you can see the hole inside of the tank

hyundai replace all the injectors that what was wrong not the fuel pump

Phil №❶ · **Reply #58: December 05, 2011, 07:34:50**

But initially, they insisted you had bad fuel, so how do they explain that BS statement. If you had accepted that "explanation" you would have been substantially out of pocket. They should be sued for that IMO.

**Reply #59: January 19, 2012, 04:50:32**

looks like i will have to take the i30 back to hyunda every time we stop it dies it will not idle i have turn off the key then it will start and idle but next time we stop it dies again
