The cause was a rat had chewed through the cam position sensor.


At least a result but $108 lighter.

Well the CAT on your car wasn't looking out for you
or
So what was the CAT doing while the mice was playing   :lol:

Phew, glad its fixed, but your problem reminded me of a colleagues wife earlier this year.

Brand new (well 2 week old by the time it happened) Skoda Fabia.

Off she went to work, straight off at a corner and wrote the car off.

Investigations revealed that mice had chewed the plastic brake lines and left her with no brakes.

They then went to check on his Volvo C30 and discovered that they had also eaten his bonnet lining/fibreglass sound deadening stuff. :scared: :scared:

That's definitely a warranty item I can't see how someone could argue otherwise, unless you had done something to cause it.

Tow it to a dealer and make a claim.  I couldn't say if you would be paid back for the tow, as it's not generally covered by any car warranties.  Do you have cover with hyundai? I believe they offer it free for one year in Australia.  I'm with RACV anyway who does it for them.  I believe they will tow it to the dealer free of charge if they can't fix it on the spot

Good luck

bah, shows what happens when you don't read the whole thread.  Awesome it got fixed.

Out of interest did you get it towed through hyundai or did you pay for it?

Didn't pay anything for the tow as I have a 20km allowance with my RACV cover.

I just had to pay the labour involved.
