Out with the old ,






In with the new , 2021 I30N DCT Hatch

What a beast of a car , I absolutely love everything about it.

Goes hard , handles awesome , sounds awesome , looks awesome and the DCT transmission is superb to use , one minute it can be an everyday car and with a push of the magic button it turns into a fire breathing beast , the most fun I have had with my pants still on  :wink:

Picked it up second hand with 87,000 country kms on it , full service history , still under warranty until January 2026 , the only issues I have found is a few stone chips which were to be expected.

The old 1.6 CRDI auto wagon which I upgraded the shocks to Bilstein B6 , added a racechip and had 270,000 kms at trade in was still going strong also I had the racechip on the car at its maximum setting for the last 7 years without any issues at all (I read on this forum people attributing the racechip to creating issues with their engines)

I hope it should do me for another 10 years , awesome car.

GENERAL / GD Map lights - bulb replacement
« Last post by BrendanP May 23, 2024, 13:24:12 »
Does anyone have experience of replacing these bulbs with LED bulbs? The bulb is 8W but these seem to be difficult to find and expensive, as it's a weird rating. Most festoon bulbs are 5W or 10W. I'm guessing 5W is too dim and 10W could overheat the fitting.

Attached is a photo of the lens cover which can be removed by opening the sunglasses holder and pulling down on the front edge of the lens. You can see the hooks at the back edge and the springy prongs at the front. DON'T try levering the cover off with a screwdriver along the sides or rear edge as you can snap off the hooks or the pegs they fit over.

Hi everyone!
I'm GxGO, I'm from Bucharest, Romania and I'm the first owner of a 2024 i30 PD 1.5 hatch, Petrol, Arctic White.
I'm glad that you welcomed me into your/our community and although my knowledge in the field of car mechanics is minimal, I hope I can make a positive contribution to the growth of this site.
My level of English is quite low, so I will rely on Google Translate. Please ignore any grammatical mistakes!

I have the same car. Same issues. You can see DPF related stats with this particular model using the pro version of the app Car Scanner Pro.

You're right, it cancels the setting of the cruise control or speed limiter. One day I'll figure out how the voice control works!
