y mechanic is crazy busy, so he hasn't been able to look as yet. He mentioned that a friend (UK Hyundai mechanic) said badges can start to 'peel' and cause the radar to play up.
Hmmmmmm - funny you say this. My PD's front badge, behind which the front radar module sits has something of a 'cobweb' like cracking to it. Its made of plastic/acrylic and has a few minor stone chips in it.  I wonder if this is the issue?

If so it's absolutely beyond pathetic - that Hyundai hasn't recalled all vehicles as what a preposterous situation - ABS, ESC, cruise control, etc all shut down due to a cheaparse branding badge thats cracked due to crappy materials.  I sincerely hope it's something a tad more worthy as I'd be infurated if so.

GENERAL / Window weather strips
« Last post by CRC 11 hours ago »
Looking for recommendations for a supplier (to Australia) of a set of Window Weather Strips for a 2009 1.6FD Diesel

Alternatively, has anyone simply replaced the rubber strip, and if so can you please provide details. Rubber specs and supplier please.

When I get a chance I'll try and wiggle the shaft on my car. I'm not sure if that would contribute to the car wobbling about as I don't think the driveshaft acts to anchor the wheel in position, I think it can move in and out to accommodate the suspension travel and steering movement. Have you checked things like the track rods ends and ball-joints for slack movement? Also whether the tracking is correct.

Hi All,

I am a very recent i30 owner, and as such, very new to this forum.

I already love my i30, but it has one issue im trying to resolve. Under acceleration, between 40 and 50 mph there is quite a pronounced wobble in the car. Feels like it's wobbling side to side. I dont feel it through the steering wheel really, more like just the car is wobbling side to side slightly.

Been doing lots of reading up on it and based on that I am coming to the conclusion that it might be a worn inner CV joint on a drive shaft. I have been under the car and recorded a video of me manipulating the OSF inner CV joint side of the drive shaft, there is very slight play with an audible click sound when moving it back and forwards.

There is are signs of old oil all around that area, like the CV boot has split in the past and not been cleaned off. I wonder if the boot was replaced but the worn joint left, or it was OK initially, but has worn over time since then?

I'll try and link the video of me moving the shaft/joint, does it sound like this is worn to you? The truth is I really dont know what it should or shouldn't sound like.

I can't add a video, so I have uploaded it to YouTube here http://youtu.be/XURfEcIaBfE?si=xjuoc5ltG-XNhv7I

Oh and also, sorry for the terrible job of recording it,  it was very crampt under the car!

Thanks for any advice!

Are there any mods for a 2008 i30 1.4 petrol 109hp?
Mainly performance like a cold air intake or a short throw shifter and do you think it would be good getting them?
