Sorry for the confusion,I have a post discussing my bumper colour differences, I agree most cars have parts not coated well underneath, it just seems they have rusted earlier than my other cars.

thanks starseeker/shambles I have used this to post pictures in post titled paint on bumpers (1+2) I will try to get better shots of rust in the daylight (camera from my phone=pants)

I had a knock in the rear left occasionally over bumps, turned out to be the towbar moving in its 'slot'. If you have a towbar, try removing the 'tongue' or removing the safety shackles - just a thought, took me a while to work it out - could have sworn it was a suspension problem but it wasnt!

Good tip LD (and if it is that it only takes a thin sliver of plastic such as the hook from a plastic pen top to stop the rattle...)

LuciferDarklord · **Reply #36: January 31, 2010, 07:51:40**

I used a cut up pushbike tyre tube to insulate it on my car.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #37: January 31, 2010, 10:20:05**

Hi, thanks for the tip...... I have no tow bar.

Have you ever checked the rear shocks ?

They have a protection device to keep dust and debris away. On my car one of them has come loose, resulting in the same noise you describe:

This is how it should look:

And this is what it looks when its broken:

You can see them when you take a look just above the rear tire. This issue happens a lot right now in Germany. Seems to be caused by a very hard winter this year.

Hi Wendel... Thanks for that (have you had it fixed ok under warranty?)

PeeJay36 · **Reply #40: February 21, 2010, 21:13:41**

Hi wendel, thanks for the heads up and pictures.I still await a call to say my car is ready so I may call them to tell them of your findings. If shocks are failing in Germany with the quality of roads you have there, they stand no chance here in the u.k!

Lorian · **Reply #41: February 21, 2010, 21:59:13**

That pic just shows a thin plastic boot around the shock, it doesn't show a broken shock. You can just push that boot back up in to place.

**Reply #42: February 22, 2010, 03:53:37**

I noticed the exact same issue today, and tried to just push them in, but they pop back out after a short while. I think this is going to require some type of silicone or other adhesive.

Interesting. On mine they push up and click in to place. have you tried using a small brush to clean up into the hole?

**Reply #44: February 22, 2010, 08:35:25**

Hi all

I also tried to push those Rubber things up. Depending on sand/debris in the seat they click on or they don´t.
But this is a more temporary fix. They tend to fall off again.

Here in Germany Hyundai dealers have 2 different ways to repair:

As long as the rubber tubings are OK ( not cracked or bent ) they glue them back in place using a 2component glue.

When the tubings are damaged they are exchanged.

I´ll know what my dealer is going to do when I take the car in next week.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #45: February 28, 2010, 15:34:05**

Thanks Wendel, the noise is from where you said. 3 cars have the same problem in my garage so I am told. No parts in the u.k so I will get an email in approx 4 weeks when in stock.

Argus · **Reply #46: March 05, 2010, 13:02:26**

In Poland, problem with loose rubber tubing (inside the corrugated tubing is rubber shock absorber) in rear and front shock absorber is very popular and occur only Czech made I30. Polish dalers have the same ways to repair like described Wendel. On my car all 4 tubings has come loose. Front loose plastic corrugated tubing you can see after jack up, because car is down, the tubing will be crushed.

Lorian · **Reply #47: March 11, 2010, 22:09:20**

I noticed one of my rear dust tubes had fallen down on its own today. Not knocking, but I've pushed it up for now. It does seem loose compared to when i had the wheels off in January. Its a long time to first service, so I will just re-inforce the connections with black duct tape when I get a moment.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #48: March 12, 2010, 20:28:25**

front and rear tubes knocking now, I dont think the Czech i30 is as robust as the Korean ones. Only my humble opinion though

Lorian · **Reply #49: March 12, 2010, 21:49:26**

Well the plastic tubes aren't the same. it seems they made a slight mistake in the part, but the dealer should replace them under warranty OK. The replacement tubes currently come from Korea.

There aren't many differences between Korean and Czech i30's. Apart from the obvious small cosmetic changes, and the 1.6CRDi/U2 these tubes are different, the tyres, windscreen glass, the clutch plates, probably a few other bits here and there.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #50: March 12, 2010, 23:07:50**

Hi Lorian, I am booked in to have these plastic bits changed, along with some other work,the parts are on back order and I have already waited weeks. The small differences between country of origin are no problem really. I wasnt in a rush to start with to get them replaced but the noise is begining to grate a little.

Lorian · **Reply #51: March 13, 2010, 07:50:43**

I dont recall if it wa back or front for you, but you can tape the rears as a temporary measure quite easily without taking the wheels off.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #52: March 13, 2010, 09:01:08**

Hi Lorian, thanks for the top tip, I will try to use some of my duct tape to try this temp fix on the back and front. I have plenty of time as I have to wait for the RAC, I was popping up to the sisters this morning to help her move in....... the little b%*@#r wont start!!!!!!!!!!!!
Begining to think I did something really evil in a past life

. Although it has got me out of moving sofas!

Argus · **Reply #53: March 13, 2010, 10:34:51**

Use of tape for rear tubes is good temporary solution, but for front tubes will be a little problem with spring. Hmm...tape in new car

slip-up of Hyundai.

Lorian · **Reply #54: March 13, 2010, 10:55:06**

It won't start? whats the symtoms?

PeeJay36 · **Reply #55: March 13, 2010, 14:36:03**

Hi, it was just turning over not firing. The rac guys are tops, really had a good look and checked as much as possible, just couldnt find anything obvious. He finally got it started after nearly flattening the battery and then putting it on a booster thing. My local dealer only sells on a Saturday so I will book it in on Monday. Although the last time they couldnt find anything in a diagnostic check.

eye30 · **Reply #56: March 13, 2010, 16:01:14**

PeeJay 36. Does it start from off now?

or have you left it running until Monday

If yes, then a similar thing happened when I had my Accent.

Eventually got it started and when it was checked over at the HY garage it was a sensor causing an intermittent fault.

Hopefully yours is something similar and can be sorted ASAP.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #57: March 13, 2010, 16:41:11**

Hi eye30,
it has started at least half a dozen times since the RAC guy left this morning.It has done this once before, unfortunately no fault was found when the garage completed a full diagnostic check. I have spent sometime this afternoon enquiring about its part exchange value as it may be time to move on, with the list of things it has to go back in to be put right, and with these starting problems I am not very comfortable now. I would have changed to a diesel in the happy returns deal but the cost of upgrading was far too much. Its a shame as the car has many good points as I have pointed out earlier, but I now must agree with my brother in law, the 1.4 (which on paper should be very good) is a bit of a let down.

eye30 · **Reply #58: March 13, 2010, 19:44:39**

If you are not getting much joy with your current garage try another if one is within easy travelling distance.

PeeJay36 · **Reply #59: March 14, 2010, 11:12:55**

I will stick with my garage as I am some distance from another. It must be hard for them as until something actually fails faults can be difficult to find. It has stopped us from our usual trip to europe in May, but I suppose with having to find the extra cash if its to be replaced would stop the trip anyway.
