Strange Noise

lvarella · **March 11, 2010, 14:55:47**

Hi,

I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but I'm hearing a different noise on my i30 engine during the startup in the morning. The noise is a tec! tec! tec!

I am wondering if it could be the Hydraulic Tappet (is that the right term?).

My i30 is a 2.0 petrol

What do you say?

Hi Luiz. Does it disappear when the engine has warmed up?

It did sound like a tappet to me. How's your oil level?

lvarella · **Reply #2: March 11, 2010, 16:31:58**

Hi,

When it's warmed up the noise is very low, but I can still hear it there.

The oil level is fine, the weird thing is that the noise appeared after the 2.500km revision.

I left my car at Hyundai, they said tomorrow I'll have an answer about it.

Good luck. Doesn't sound too serious to me but it's better to let the experts check it out.

Is the "revision" some kind of intermediate service?

lvarella · **Reply #4: March 11, 2010, 16:50:16**

Thank you.

It was the first "revision", they changed the oil and filter.

I think "revision" is not the right term to it.

I think you mean 1st Service.

Take it back and tell them it only made this noise since the service, see what they say. Defintely get it checked out.

Good advice, agreed, but I think he's already alerted them...

Thanks, "1st service" was what I wanted to say.

I told them about the noise appearing after the 1st service, but I think I need to enforce that to them, but I need to be careful too, if they think I am complaining about their service on my car maybe I won't have my car fixed correctly, they are very sensitive.

It sounds to me like the Hydraulic Tappets and it could be that the oil they used when changed, is of a higher viscosity (thicker).

Also, why did you need an oil and filter change at 2500Km

Lorian · **Reply #9: March 11, 2010, 19:39:10**

They do in some markets, presumably the conditions are harsh enough in Rio to require it. I must go there and find out.

My brother in law had a 1.4 like me, both have this rattle, both been back several times.

That's my suspicion, but I can't prove it. Maybe they will change the oil again and tomorrow show me the car without any noise.

They said me, due to the long trip, long time idle, they need to do the oil and filter change, but I think they want my money.

You are welcome here.

I just came back from the dealer.

They said that the tappet is really producing a noise, they tried to convince me that the noise would disappear in the future, but I didn't like it and they contacted Hyundai and they will know what they should do about it when Hyundai answer it.

We listened to other i30 there and none of them had this issue, just mine.

Let's see how long I will wait for it. I have the car now, they said that there is no problem to use it.

Shambles · **Reply #13: March 12, 2010, 13:21:31**

Thanks for the update Luiz. If it was serious they wouldn't have let you drive away so that's good news

My Elantra had that sound, but after 90,000 kms or something.. Definitely not nice to hear on a relatively new car..

Any joy yet Luiz

I left him yesterday at Hyundai.

I hope they are treating him nicely and get my problem solved.

lvarella · **Reply #18: March 31, 2010, 19:22:16**

I just called the dealer and he said the Tappets are untidy and they are solving the problem and maybe I can get my car tomorrow.

What could cause that?

Dazzler · **Reply #19: March 31, 2010, 22:14:59**

"tappets are untidy" that sounds very technical... wonder if his kids bedrooms are "within tolerances..."

Tappets are not aligned correctly. Is it better?

No problem, I was worried that I could have offended who was reading my post. If that's not the case, that's fine.

It's remind me an episode in NY.

I was looking for a NY Cap, but I want it with elastic in the back so it could fix better in my head. The problem was that on every store I was asking for a Cap with Rubber to fix better in my head and everytime I asked it people laughed, got embarrassed and I was not able to find the Cap.

When I got back at my friend's home (american) I told him I was having a hard time to find this Cap and he laughed a lot and explained that I was asking for a Cap with a Condom = (Rubber) in the back.

I was so embarrassed, all that people thought that I was crazy.

lvarella · **Reply #24: April 01, 2010, 18:15:12**

I just came back from the Dealer.

I am disappointed, he said that they couldn't find anything, the noise is there and Hyundai doesn't know what it can be that I should not worry because I have 5 years of warranty and if something gets wrong or broke they will fix it.

I'll take my car to another Dealer.

Shambles · **Reply #25: April 01, 2010, 18:46:18**

Very sad news

Untidy - or whatever - tappets should be fixable on the spot.

Yeah, you go to another dealer mate. At least they got the bit about the warranty right...

Is that Hy HQ or their Hy chap in the garage. The one with the spanner and hammer and a bit of grease on his face:lol:?

I'd contact HY HQ and ask if this has been logged and what they intend to do about it.

Also, will they pick up the tab if you breakdown at some unearthly hour and you have to incur costs etc etc

Doesn't instil confidence.

The Dealer said that was Hy HQ answer to my problem. The problem here is that Hyundai is represented by another group and they are making mistakes and Hyundai will pay the price in the future because of it.

I'll take to another dealer, I have the feeling that they didn't give their best.
