Hi fellow Forum Members,
My 2009 FD Sportswagon (2 litre petrol engine automatic transmission), now has 235,500 Kim on odometer & still has been without any real hassles until very recently. The engine light came on, & a code check indicated a number one Oxygen Sensor problem. Replaced the No 1 Oxygen Sensor & 90 odd kilometres travelled & the Engine light illuminated on the dash again, indicating the Number 2 Oxygen Sensor coded a failure also, & a new No 2 Oxygen Sensor was fitted. Since then my i30 has travelled approx 190 kilometres & now the Engine light is glowing constantly & the code reader (every code indicated has been via a Hyundai dealer code reader), & now I am told the code is indicating that I should have the Catylitic Converter replaced. We do between 2,000 - 2,500 kilometres per year & really have not noticed any fuel consumption or performance problems with the vehicle. I am retired from the automotive and heavy diesel trade & as many of you know that it hurts to now having to pay for the labour component that we could have taken care of by ourselves in days past.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in directing me to where I might be able to purchase a suitable Catylitic Converter for a reasonable price, or is it possible to do an extractor type modification with a Catylitic Converter fitted also, then on the other hand can the Catylitic Converter be reconditioned, as these days I am constantly amazed at what can be done in reclaiming components.
Kind regards,
Warwick.
