GOT PROBLEMS OR ISSUES? => PETROL => Topic started by: kongar on September 21, 2012, 15:08:34

Hello fellow i30 Hyundai owners, we have recently purchased a i30cw auto petrol model with 34k on the clock, its been a great little car so far but we have noticed a few little problems/issues related to its gear changes, firstly when doing braking for traffic lights, junctions etc.. it shudders when downchanging, like it doesnt know which gear to be in, it also appears to not know what gear it needs to be in when doing some rapid acceleration when overtaking, it will change down then up then backdown again, i guess both these problems are related somehow but its a problem you would expect with about 100k+ on the clock, plus it has got a buzz on the dash at certain speeds, are these just teething problems or are they a sign of things to come?.............I used to know a lot about cars, having owned Hillman's, Morrise's, Torana's, Cortina's, Corolla's etc.. but when you lift the bonnet these days its a bit of WTF!
thanks for any potential replies.. Arthur

Welcome Arthur .. Nice to see another Tassie Member on the books (we might have as many as 20 but only about 4 of us are what you would call active members)
Sorry to hear about your transmission issues, unfortunately there have been some issues with the auto box (but mainly with the diesel due to the extra torque it generates) I will modify this to add some links. Do you get any lag when you select reverse (that is one of the first symptoms) Obviously is is covered under the extensive Warranty .. so you need to go to Motors and get it sorted. :undecided:

As far as the Dash rattle or buzz is concerned there are threads on here about that too. Hopefully it is only the Glovebox lid which is easier to fix that the other possibility which involves packing some foam or something between the top of the stereo unit and the cubby on the top of the dash. (again I will modify this reply with some thread links if I can find them)

No doubt other Members will have ideas as well (we love helping i30 owners) :happydance:

Welcome kongar,
It looks like Dazz has pretty much covered your issues, but if you need any further help, just yell. :mrgreen:
-
Hyundai has to be aware of some issues on a particular batch of automatics, so have a read through the links that Dazz posted and take it from there.
It's what the warranty is for. :)

I
plus it has got a buzz on the dash at certain speeds<
I'm betting it's the rear view mirror...... :undecided:
-
Thanks for all the info, I will go through and read the links as suggested and will end up taking it to our local Hyundai service centre, there is even an article in todays local newspapers car guide Q&A section regarding i30cw auto gearbox problems, cheers and thanks again .. A

Good luck with it ... :sweating:

Update to gear problem, took to service agent, they replaced worn out valves in the Auto transmission and they also replaced ignition lock (intermittently unable to turn key) those problems now fixed (parts cost was about $2,000 thank goodness covered under warranty).... well the car is back in to fix engine/drive train shudder at low speed with a fully loaded vehicle ( while they were testing it they busted a cv joint!) and they are also trying to figure out why it "Jumped " out of gear while down shifting up a bumpy gravel road (had to turn the engine off to start it working properly) and the thing has less than 40Ks on it, it is starting to look like a yellow colored citrus fruit, if it has to go back one more time this year I am afraid its a case of three strikes and your gone, I wonder if any of these will be on the road in 10 years time? :( :( :( :(

do you know the cars previous history? . :undecided:

Hello fellow i30 Hyundai owners, we have recently purchased a i30cw auto petrol model with 34k on the clock,
I'm assuming not new :)

That's a hell of a delivery mileage.

When I spoke in Singapore I recall seeing the massive HYUNDAI ships. Maybe it literally missed the boat and came of its own Honda ... I mean... Accord :whistler:

Ex Federal Gov fleet car, warning bells b4 we purchased perhaps? they tested for engine shudder by putting on hard lock and applying full trhrottle therfore busting it, apparently faulty cv joints are not a rare occurence.

They are on here .. Few if any failures reported by a 1000's of Members :undecided:

Did a quick google search and buggered if I could find any i30 CV joint issues...... :undecided:

dealer trying to talk their way out of being caught out having a bit of fun at your cars expense?
to break a cv joint in a naturally aspirated 2.0 litre AUTO in a small car you'd have to be giving it a bloody hard time. a few revs in neutral and then drop it back into drive springs to mind.
BLOODY DEALERS :censored: :argh:

15% of all traffic crashes are caused by people who drink alcohol.
That means that 85% are caused by people who don't.
A very sobering statistic.

3706 members on this forum, how many owners world wide? told all our friends about the problems we've had, 100% said its a lemon "get rid of it", Ive replaced cv joints on a morris 1100 many years ago and I can imagine it would take a fair bit of effort to wreck one, but unfortunately with cars these days we/you are at the mercy of the service department, but at least you guys are having a bit of fun with your comical comments ( I tried to find a smiley for "tosspots" to insert here but couldn't find one) :D :D
-
Probably a good thing for you that couldn't find one, kongar. ;)
-
tosspots
:foottap:
-
Well?.. what do you guys reckon? get rid of it or keep it ?
-
You talking to us, or the tosspots?
-
Well?.. what do you guys reckon? get rid of it or keep it ?
You beat me to it Steve. I was going to say "what would us tosspots know" :whistler:
I reckon keep it (you have a 5 year warranty) :cool:
-
Well?.. what do you guys reckon? get rid of it or keep it ?
Entirely up to you Arthur.
Considering the cost of the warranty work already done, I know what I'd do.
But it's your call at the end of the day.
You know what your friends reckon. ;)
-
2 years left on the warranty and its already got a history, lets face it we are all tosspots to be on line at this time of night when we should be in bed, "wanking" :wink: :wink:
-
If it's had the trans valves replaced and the other work done, it should be ok now.
Some things for you to consider.
- As an ex Govt car, was any service / department history provided. I assume it must be in order, because you've had warranty work performed already.
- Has the car been properly maintained.
- Do you think the price you paid was a bargain, for what you got.
You have had a bad run so far in a short space of time, this is NOT typical of these cars in general and your CV joint failure is the 1st I've heard of in my time here. IMO the broken CV joint was not accidental and I suspect some funny business there. The test for CV joints is not to stress them like that but to turn the wheels on full lock in each direction and observe / listen for a clicking sound. This can be done on a hoist with engine off in quiet conditions. So I feel your car was abused and that's not the car's fault.
As nice as your friends may be, I would take their advice with a grain of salt. You have a mind of your own, use it and base your decision on what you now own and how well it works, not someone else's opinion.
-
I agree.
Be an independent thinker and make an informed decision.
And remember, you don't ask the baker how to make good sausages.
