GOT PROBLEMS OR ISSUES? => GENERAL => Topic started by: eye30 on April 18, 2012, 15:34:40

It has been brought to the Mods attention that apparently there is "known fault" with the auto transmission on the i30.
The person bring this to our attention hasn't indicated what the exact fault is. However, they say that whole transmission has to be replaced and that there is a month wait on the part.
Are any members aware of a "known fault" which requires a complete new auto transmission box on the i30?
If so, can you post details.
Thanks in advance

This sounds very sus to me. All years & all engine combinations and they find out now! I don't believe it. :fum:
-
Seems to be shroud in secrecy, as those who have had the new box put in have not been told what was wrong with the old one.
Could go beyond the I30 too, as a Santefe at work recently had the box replaced as well.
-
I'm still of the opinion that it is from 2011 onwards (as earlier models seem pretty good in that regard) even if they were only 4 speed old tech...
Maybe it is sabotage by rival carmakers :whistler:

Was this person from Hyundai? :undecided:
-
I have an auto MY10 CW. Nearly 50000km of trouble free gear changes. :goodjob2:
No complaints from this Ugly Mongrel. :D :D

53k here, all ok, touch wood.

Dont know if this clarifies or helps .....
I have recently had a new gearbox fitted to my UK spec /Czech build i30 CRDi auto (built mid 2010 ie 2011 facelift). So car was about 1½ years old when all of this started with about 15000 miles.
It started with inability to kick down from 40-50 mph when in 4th (about 1500 rpm) - it would kick down to 2nd instead and with an alarming thump, sometimes with most alarming judder & squeal. The fault occurred more frequently with time, more often when car was heated up. My helpful dealer (I understand) reset ECU, reset injectors, changed gearbox oil to no avail. I gather no error codes. The car was never undriveable, never stopped going, and never displayed any lights etc (I just learned to drive around the fault - eg manually changing to 3rd - as it is so alarming when it happens).
New gearbox is now in, fitted and working fine.
Whilst of course I am not impressed with the failure of a gearbox in such a young car, my dealer & HUK dealt with it all smoothly etc and so I can have no hesitation in buying another Hyundai, and most certainly no hesitation in dealing with this (multi franchise) dealer again - one day.

Mr Hoarse,
May I ask , why are we just hearing of this significant event :question:
-
Thanks for that update Ed and I'm pleased that you are happy with the service and the result.
Dave

But that's a European built car and we seem to think this message came from an Australian with Korean build.
ps. Glad Ed's has been rectified so efficiently.
I might add that we quite often have goverment, semi government and council vehicles in for tyres and there doesn't seem to be any dissatisfaction with the cars by the drivers.
My daughter did some work experience in the last semester of her degree with Brisbane City Council, Logan City Council and Qld Health and spent some time in their cars, some of which were i30s with no unhappy observations being made.

Mr Hoarse,
May I ask , why are we just hearing of this significant event :question:
I can only assume that you haven't been looking! https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=11232.0 (https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=11232.0)
However you are correct partly as I have not really shouted out very loudly about my gearbox problem (much). ....
I am a little guarded about shouting out on such forums - ie in public - as I think we would be naive to assume that either HUK (or even clued up dealers) do not have a sniff around occasionally.
Meant to add earlier that I am not aware of a months wait for the part (gearbox). As far as I know a few fixes were attempted to no avail, the diagnosis was made, authority was sought etc by warranty manager, and the car was then booked in at a convenient time a few weeks later. However I understand that the gearbox was not ordered until my old one had been removed & examined. My car was "in" for about a week - so I assume the new gearbox came within a few days.
I was never off the road as my car was not out of action except when booked for repair and the dealer provide me with a wholesome "lendy car" (a fresh little i10).
Do we know if the auto gearboxes fitted to Czech build cars are same as Korean builds?
Are petrol auto boxes same as diesel?
What is the prob that is reported on other cars?
Long live my new gearbox.
Ed :)

TH, I checked your previous reference and there is no reference to an imminent transmission replacement, so this was most unexpected. I hope too, that this resolves your problem permanently. :neutral:

Mr Eye30 - out of interest - did you ever get to the bottom of this allegation? I presume it was about UK /Czech build cars in view of your own location.

The person was from OZ so presume Korean build.
Emailed the person in April and they said they would get back with more specific information. Never did get back.
Due to your post I've just emailed them so if I do get any more info I'll post.

My Auto Transmission Poll has been read 34 times but no "votes" or comments from effected owners yet (posted almost a week ago)
So does that suggest it is not a high percentage or are the owners so disgruntled they are not bothering with our site.. Only Mel and Talking horse come to mind - I know there have been a couple of others! That is one UK and one OZ :confused:
I tought the poll was a good idea to try and isolate the problem, but no good if effected owners don't use it.. :fum:
-
G'day all,
I still suspect that the fault is an isolated one, though if it takes until 60-70k there is a fair chance that a lot of 2010 Hyundai's haven't been driven that far yet. I do a fair distance and I've only done 56k (though I could have done more, but have been keeping within the 25k/year required by my lease and putting the balance on the wife's car, that only has 117k and is an 03 model).
I guess the next 12 months will put me in the red zone....So I'll let you know.

Ta. I'm guessing yours will be fine (touch wood) :cool:

Technical service bulletin for torque convertor/oil pump seal failure, and case porosity in the front half of the case behind the torque convertor.
(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u412/komaterpillar/TSB1.png)
(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u412/komaterpillar/TSB2.png)
and this is an extract from another TSB about the case porosity
(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u412/komaterpillar/TSB3.png)
i remember reading in another TSB that it was only the earlier manufactured cases that were affected, and that there was an updated version of the front half of the case in later models, can't remember the dates though, or find the TSB :wacko:
-
Thanks for all the info so far.
The TSB's imply an oil seal or leak - mine was certainly not dropping any oil as I would have been rather disgruntled if it did so on my "new" paving....

Ok I've had an update and the person is happy for me to share with you. It is quite long so here is a summary:
After complaining to Hyundai Customer Care (Nationally) they arranged for the car to be repaired by a transmission specialist and not the Hyundai dealer (the work was outsourced).
They remember asking for a printout of the problem/work done but there wasn't one.
They were told that the whole lot, (I presume the transmission), was taken apart and many parts replaced, new seals etc.
They have had the car back a week or so and will be taking it for a drive out on the open road to see how the gear changes are now.
They finishes of that a further request has been made for a detailed summary of what work was actually done and if one is provided it will be shared with me and I'll post here, with their permission..
-
Thanks Lester :goodjob:
-
Whilst I too hope that we find out what was done, I am willing to bet that one won't be provided.
This would be on two counts, one my distant memory of a warranty condition which basically says 'we'll fix it, but don't have to tell you what we did' and 2) if they take an old tranny out and put a new one in, and send the old tranny to a 3rd party to be reconditioned, there is a fair chance they don't actually record what they did, other than a full reconditioning (the Australian Standard of which I have posted elsewhere).

i have just come across this thread and am happy to share what I have discovered about I30 transmissions
* in my Jan 2010 build I30 both Petrol and Diesel share the same transmission - the diesel transmission has trouble coping with the torque of the diesel motor which causes the valve body to wear. If this is caught early enough its a simple replacement of this part.
* when my car started having problems (probably started at around 45000kms) I notice a definite lag in engaging reverse and over time the car seemed to struggle changing gears sometimes over 4000rpm before gear change would engage, usually on a hill ( this only ever happened twice to this degree and both times an error code was registered -
P0700 – Transmission Control System Malfunction
P0741 – Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off.
* another warning sign is burnt transmission oil - which should of been picked up at dealer service.
*my transmission was replaced at 73000kms with a reconditioned transmission. This had come from a transmission specialist (I believe based in Melbourne) that Hyundai employ to recondition faulty transmissions. It can be a week turn around for the dealer to take your transmission out send it off to the specialist and they send a reconditioned one to replace it. Your transmission then gets fixed to go into someone elses car.
* when i inquired about a brand new transmission they said it would be over a months wait as one would have to come from overseas as they are not stocked in Australia and I wouldnt get one as my car had done far too many kms (so much for unlimited km warranty and this was told to me by the dealer service centre and not Hyundai)
* at the 90000kms service I reported that I noticed that the lag in reverse and the deep grumble in changing gears was back. They test drove the car and couldn't find a problem but told me to monitor this. At the 105000km service they asked about the lag and I told them it was still there and was worse. They drove the car again with no issues ( a 2 minute drive over hours a day spent driving the car?) but were happy to except that there might be an issue and are going to replace the valve body to be sure.
*When I take it back in (still waiting notification that the valve body kit has arrived - now 4000kms later) I will inquire again as to what the problem was with the original transmission will let you know how I go.
a friend came across this article on RACQ website:-
http://www.racq.com.au/motoring/cars/car_reviews/used_cars/by_make/cars/hyundai/i30,_2007_onwards (http://www.racq.com.au/motoring/cars/car_reviews/used_cars/by_make/cars/hyundai/i30,_2007_onwards) this article from the RACQ written last November also touches on the valve body being the cause of the slipping transmission....

Mel,
Thanks for sharing
I've not had any further update so presume no further info to share.
-
Thanks Mel, excellent ..
I wonder what is different about the 2010/11 transmissions though as can't recall a 2007 to 2009 auto diesel on here having this issue :confused:
If you are reading this UM what mileage do you have now and what month and year is yours? :undecided:

ok today I was back at the dealer for the replacement valve body. I was told today that a problem has been identified with the premature wearing of the valve body which is causing the problem and it is now a recognised issue. There is now a new and improved valve body that "should be much better" in the words of the service staff. When I enquired about the report on the initial transmission and what was the problem they told me that they dont get informed about what was the problem it gets reported straight back to Hyundai as they are the manufacturer so perhaps this is where the fault has been identified.
My advice is any lag in the change of gears particularly reverse, a deep grumble when the car is trying to change gears or super high revs when changing gears would need a trip to the service centre with mention of the valve body. What takes them a few hours to fix makes such a difference.
I must say it was a dream driving home once again feeling like a new car lets hope it stays that way :happydance:

Great feedback.

My early 2011 CW diesel has had the problem described above where there is a significant lag when selecting reverse. I have also have an issue where the transmission changes up to 4th too early at about 50km/hr (revs drop to 1500rpm) and the engine labours a bit. Changing down manually solves this problem. The car has done less than 25K.
I reported this to the service manager of the local Hyundai dealer who immediately said that it sounded like a valve cover defect. He said that this was a known issue which was rectified in mid 2011. The car was booked in last week for diagnosis and yes, the issue was found to be the valve cover. I am currently waiting for approval for the warranty repair to be approved by Hyundai and for the part to come in. Could be a long wait from the sounds of it.
-
Welcome Miker and thanks...That is interesting that they reckon they fixed it in mid 2011 :goodjob:
Seems to effect mostly 2010/11 cars (not 2008/9 as far as I'm aware) so maybe they changed part suppliers around that time... :confused:

I am having the problem with the slipping out of gear when accelerating above 70km/h. Even when re-engaging cruise control at 70km/h to get back to 100km/h will cause it to rev up and cruise control dis-engages. Just about to take it up with WESTPOINT Hyundai here in Brisbane. Will keep you updated on their response !

Welcome to the forum auke. :goodjob2:
Sorry to hear you're having problems but keep us informed as to what they say/do.
-
Haven't really had a problem with our 2012 with approx 22000 kms, but I have noticed some over reving while driving, and my foot has been at a steady position.
Almost like the clutch is slipping or something.
Not severe, but just making me wonder why the engine did that when it occurs.
Going to have to keep an eye/ear on this.
-
Welcome auke,
Sorry your 1st post is an unhappy event, but that's what this forum is for, we will appreciate your update and hope it is satisfactorily resolved.
-
While I'm not a proponent of autos I'm truly amazed at how hard it is to make one work.
Sure, it's impossible to predict the best gear in advance like a real driver can do but to make one work without all the mechanical failures should have been solved by now. Surely?
-
:Ouch: :'(
-
Just an update on the "Slipping out of Gear" problem that I was experiencing (as reported above).
Dealer ran it through some test and concluded that the valve body need to be replaced (under warranty).
It has been replaced and All is good now!!
New issue (after it came back from the Dealer) is that the "ESP OFF" light comes on and stays on regardless if you toggle the ESP OFF switch.
I'll keep you posted
-

Sorry to hear that :undecided: How long after you picked it up did that appear? Wondering if they forgot to reconnect something?? Otherwise could be related to incorrect tyre pressures or a brake light switch issue or???
-
This seems to come up often enough for me to yearn for a decent schematic or logic diagram to sort out the I/O on the module that does all this.
I find it really frustrating being the consumer without the engineering specs. If by some odd fortune they exist in the wild, I'm more than happy to take a look.

Hi all, Just had my auto serviced...and though it worthwhile to report the comments of my ( Non HY mechanic.)
The book lists the service to take place at 90,000Km and to me that seemed a "long time between drinks"...
On Inspection at the 80,000 service, the Trans Fluid was seen to be a brownish colour, almost dirty looking. I added some auto trans additive to give it a good "flush" for 1000km then had the fluid changed today at 84,000Km. My mechanic also commented on the colour of the oil ( It didnt smell burnt) and said that in his opinion, 90,000 was to long a service interval and that he thought 60,000 was about right.
We used a very high quality, ( exceeding the Hy specs) Elf oil for todays service, plus I put in an additive, which I will be reporting on a little later, when I have some conclusive data.
The mechanic said we should do the change again in 40,000Km......reason being that all the oil does not drain from the auto trans, as the torque converter is full and this oil stays put, so in effect it contaminates the new oil.
So.. I just bring this point to everyones attention... if we want to look after our auto trans, changing the oil early and accounting for the old oil that does remain in subsequent servicing would be a good thing IMO :whistler:
Cheers

Just got the Good Wife's 2012 (my11) FD CRDI (11,400k) back from my good friends at Southport Hyundai.
It had a minor shudder at take off, and an occasional kangaroo shudder when changing gears around 60k.
Of course when I got the car to drive down to the coast, it didn't show any of these symptoms so I was a bit worried of getting the 'no fault found'. I told them from my reading it would appear to be the valve body.
Upon picking the car up it appears they agree the valve body is playing up, and will be replaced on Monday. It is a bit of a shame they don't have the part available in stock given it is a bit of a problem child. Otherwise though I am happy with their service, they made room in their schedule (full of brake switch recall cars) to see the vehicle, and it is booked in at lunch time Monday to allow for my work schedule.
They also upgraded the ECU re the TSB to re learn injectors to remove some chattering in the engine, and it drives much better.
The were much friendlier and have much better facilities than Springwood. I would say it is worth the drive to see them.
The 2010 I30 (84000k) continues with only the Brake light recall (new compliant cruise switch) and a dash rattle to be checked. Nil Auto problems detected. I will have the auto serviced at 90,000k.

Thanks for the update hope they sort it on Monday :fingers:

Good to hear positive feedback.

All sorted.
Drives like new now.

It's interesting that being an Elantra XD owner that also used the same auto transmission between 2000-2006 on its 1.8 and 2.0 Beta motor, it still has the same issues with it and possibly got a bit worse. I didn't buy an auto Elantra back in the day because of reading the same issues and was the main reason I ended up deciding against an auto on the i30 crdi as well.
Hopefully these problems have been eliminated with the new valve body that is supposed to be improved and its certainly not an issue on the new 6 speeders.

Just resurrecting this thread to report that this issue affected my July 2009 crdi wagon. Pretty much the same as described by Mel but not as bad:
- took car in early for 90k service with a month left on warranty and asked them to check for any warrantable work
- dropped my pants to the tune of $890 :Shocked: and was told that apart from some badly discoloured auto trans fluid, everything looked fine. No error codes
- straight away the trans started taking three seconds to engage reverse when cold
- took it back and got the valve body replaced in the dying light of my warranty. Dude said it's a known problem and the replacement valve body is an improved version.
- this miraculously alleviated most of my rectal pain from the $890 service bill

You're slipping, Dave. That butt plug didn't come out until post 53!!

Well, I gotta say, my ring gear is suddenly feeling shiny and new. Check this out:

Wow not cheap! Plus labour... Glad the wife's is a manual.. :goodjob:
-
It's important to have shiny ring gear though. ;)
-
111,000 and counting....
The CW must have got a goodin......(best to tempt fate whilst I still have a year on the warranty....Though if it is a known fault, I suspect Hyundai may have to drop their pants even after the warranty period expires).

Hi Guys.....Long time no see!!!! Sorry about my absence...I have missed the forum and all my mates......just been overwhelmed with "stuff" that has required my attention and so, something had to give... :'(.
For some reason this discussion, being a thread that I was involved in, sent me a prompt re further discussion, so ....here I am, hopefully a good thing, getting me back into the fold, even if it is 5am now... :wacko:
We still have our CW and like Beerman we are also on 111K.
Our warranty runs out in Nov...so I am very conscious of this "auto Issue" and today will take Elle B to the Dr for a check up....maybe a shiny ring gear is also needed.... :happydance:
We have had instances of the " slipping clutch" feeling, especially at speed on a freeway and up hills, ( Like that is everyday to get to our place). The wife seems to be the main one that "senses" it, as she drives it 90 % of the time...but I have definitely experienced it on the freeway to Newcastle.
So, today I will go and play dumb, throw in the reversing lag, which we have at times experienced and see what response I get. If push needs to turn to shove, then I can start to talk about the experiences of the forum members , valve issues, rhubarb rhubarb. It seems that our issues are not as obvious as some others that have contributed to this thread of late, but...if the "ring gear" needs work, then it would be my luck for it to happen just out of warranty, something that I can ill afford.. :faint:
I will keep you posted....always open to any " negotiating tips"..... :winker:
Again, I feel good to be back in touch....If anyone had sent any PM's to me, apologies....this is the first time that I have logged on in ......seems decades..... :-[
Cheers.....and hi to Dazz, Rusty..... :goodjob2: Tony

The main objective is to get your problem on record before the warranty expires. Might as well try for a replacement now, if you can. Welcome back.

Spooky, something reminded me of you today Tony.. but only just found your post from last week as I got behind while away on Holidays!

Hi guys,
I made an account just to comment on this topic. It's been a helpful read, only wish I'd googled it before I (almost) had my issue resolved!
I bought my wife a 2010 i30 CW 2.0L Sportswagon about two years ago with 28K on the clock. Got it serviced after a couple of months at 31k and all was good. The wife fell in love with the car and I have to say it's been ideal for us as a family car. As it approached 40k we were getting flashes of the ESP light and some ominous noises from the rear passenger wheel. We booked the 45k service at 41k and our local dealership in Werribee were on the ball. They ordered the parts in for the ESP and a new bearing for the noisy wheel no questions asked, sent a letter when they arrived and fixed the issues as soon as it was convenient for us. They also signed us up for 12 months Hyundai roadside assist which was an unexpected bonus :cool:
Another few thousand kms of smooth driving follow before I gradually notice the car feeling less responsive going up through the gears. Then we began to get occasional shudders/jumps between gear changes. Last week we brought it in early for service and inspection at 54k instead of 60k. Credit to Werribee Hyundai again, the were already aware it was a known issue and ordered in the parts and got us in asap again.
So we dropped it in this morning to their new premises. I had an ADO today so was able to bring my wife back from the garage as they had no loan cars available. I dropped her back about four hours later and she said it felt so much better to drive again. Excited by this I took it for a spin. Backing out of the garage I immediately noticed I had to give quite a bit of gas to get it going, I actually checked to see if I'd left the handbrake on! Anyway, I took off on a spin and was quickly impressed with how smooth it was going. Took it through the gears and the changes were so smooth they were almost unnoticeable. However when I tried to reverse it into the garage again I was having difficulty, needing nearly 4000rpm before it started moving. We rang the service centre and they said come straight back in.
My wife dropped it in as she needed to get a loan car from them for tomorrow. All they could muster was an '05 Kia Rio which cut out twice on her on the way home ( she's 7 months pregnant and got a spray from some uncouth gentlemen that got stuck behind her. And according to Google, cutting out at lights/when stopped is a known issue for Rios). When she got it home it pissed oil in our garage so I've had to leave it outside for the night.
It's all left me unsure if I'd want to buy another Hyundai. Don't get me wrong, we love the car. We'd talked about eventually trading it in for an ix35 7, or even a sante fe if I could get the right deal. And the service from Werribee has been excellent (until the evil Rio incident). But having to have three separate issues fixed under warranty in two years, on a four year old car, has curbed our enthusiasm somewhat.
Hopefully they can find a car my wife feels safe to drive in tomorrow and our own one comes back in working order.
-
Has the dealer really been excellent? They don't appear to have fixed the problem.....I would be speaking to the DP about their inability to fix the transmission. It really should have been a one go fix, and you experiencing issues on the drive home, shows a lack of testing.

Welcome Appledave (I thought you might have been from Tassie to start with) :mrgreen:
Sorry to hear of your woes. Been mainly the Diesel giving problems with the auto up to now (I blame the extra torque)
You have been unlucky (we are on our 3rd Manual i30 in 6 years) all have been excellent and ultra relaible :Knock:

We have 2 Diesel autos, both in excellent shape. :happydance: :Touch:

118,000km and climbing here....

Yeah I think they have been excellent to deal with from a customer service point, my gripe is with the service department and the fact we've needed to use the warranty so much. Turns out the first replacement part the fitted was faulty, hence the reversing issues. They've ordered a new one in so hopefully that goes better. The silver lining is that they've given us a brand new i30 until it's sorted.

Are we talking full transmission or valve body?
How's the new i30?

What's an FAO? :-[

Thanks, Steve. It was the extra 'of' in the title that threw me. :confused:
