DIESEL / Re: Bunny hopping when temp hits 18+°

Regassing your aircon won't help your problem. I was just looking for a correlation.
Have you used a code reader to see if some fault condition has been reported by the ECU?
I'm guessing not by your question. An On Board Diagnostic (OBD) bluetooth reader is cheap and easy to use.

Thanks, that's a fair comment about the thinning, and not one I'd thought of (obviously 🤦🏻‍♀️).
As for the fan - I've not heard it kick in and my dashboard temp reading is always within limits, so maybe I can rule that bit out?.
The air con needs regassing - has done for at least a couple of years 🙈 - and I've put it off as I've been told it's the dearer type it needs (tbh, I've forgotten which type it is, it's been that long). I've not pursued it as I don't mind cracking the windows open instead of using that, but if it would help with the bunny hopping, maybe I should think about getting it done? (Let's be honest here, it not looking like I'll need to do it due to the weather, anytime soon, is it?!? 😄)

Hi, Vivih, fine for a first post - Welcome!

I can't speak directly to the problem but don't take temperature thinning your fuel as a relevant assumption. By the time you factor what the sensors in the system are doing, you may end up with the opposite effect, as occurs with building air conditioning systems overcompensating.

Any chance your aircon or engine radiator fan is cutting in when it happens? We just need to pin down all the symptoms.

DIESEL / Bunny hopping when temp hits 18+°
« Last post by vivih May 13, 2024, 23:02:42 »
Hi everyone, please bear with me...this is my first post.

My 2012 CRDi blue drive active has taken to bunny hopping when temperatures get to around 18°C (& above).
It starts up ok in all weathers and doesn't do this in cold/cool weather, just when the mercury starts to rise.
There's no particular speed at which it gets worse/better, and causes a bit of drag on the acceleration/drive, but then seems to settle down after a few minutes (maybe 5?)
It's as if fuel is struggling to get through, but I can't understand this as I thought fuel got thinner in warmer weather and therefore flows easier (please correct me if I'm wrong...and if this is indeed the problem I have 🙈).
It's frustrating, but also concerning as I work 15 miles from home, travelling on one the regions busiest motorways.

Has this happened to anyone else, or can anyone shed some light on what it might be?

Thanks

There are 2 switches, one at the top and one at the bottom if I remember correctly.

Hi, just looking back at some older posts, reveals that there might be 2 clutch switches. does your I30 have two?

Hello,
I had problem with my 2012 Hyundai i30 GD, every time I get into 60mph ESP light turns on and stays on till I turn engine off and then after I start it again it's stays off till I get into 60mph.
I read fault codes and I have 1 in ECU P0704 - Clutch switch input malfunction - permanent and 1 in ABS C1520 - Clutch switch - Intermittent. I bought a genuine clutch switch from Hyundai dealer but it didn't cure it. Does anyone knows what is the problem? Do You know if there is TSB for that fault?
cheers

DIESEL / Re: Diesel Fuel consumption FAQ
« Last post by VanBelleJean May 12, 2024, 11:37:06 »
Post a question in the forum and we will take a look.

i bought a second hand I30 1.4 diesel from 2012 Euro 5 to do some tests:

1. On :link: Diesel consumption: Hyundai - i30 - GDH Hatchback - Spritmonitor.de you can follow my attempst.
2. i got 51,14 and 50,64 liters tanking after almost empty based on range
3. Bord computer seems to be incredible correct in l/100 km, range is adapting throug drive style now
4. With a video i could check all 12 dots for consumption in distance, based on 3.6 to 3.4 m/100 km over the distances of over 1400 km between full tanking again

12 dots: 1448 km, 0 km passed,
11 dots: 249,4 km (250 to round up) at 3.6 = 9 liter used = 41 liter left
10 dots: 399,4 km (400 to round up) at 3.6 = 14.5 liter used = 35,5 liter left
9 dots: 483,3 km at 3.5 = 16,9 l used = 33,1 l left
8 dots: 595,9 km at 3.4 = 20,3 l used = 29,7 l left
7 dots: 732,9 km at 3.4 = 24,9 l used = 25,1 l left
THAT IS HALF RESERVOIR: 7 dots!!
6 dots: 810 km at 3.4 = 27,54 l used = 22,4 l left
5 dots: 900 km at 3.4 = 30,6 l used = 19,4 l left
4 dots: 1032.5 km at 3.5 = 36,12 l = 14,8 l left
3 dots: 1099,4 km at 3.5 = 38,5 l = 11,5 l left
2 dots: 1232,3 km at 3.4 = 41,9 l = 8,1 l left
1 dot: 1321,9 km at 3.5 = 46,3 l = 3,7 l left
Starts blinking then when 50 km range drops further and range becomes "---" instead and then you have 1409 km at 3.5 = 49,32 l = 0,7 l left

The error here is that i tanked 50,64 liter diesel at Lukoil sofia, but normally there is a s small loss at tanking,but Lukoil (Jet in Germany and Austria callef, is superior Russian oil by the way, drove probably 2 million of the 3 million kilometers on Lukoil in my life) is quite correct!

i will do later a test to drive completely empty while have a jerrycan with spare diesel on board.

3.5 AND 3.61 L/100 KM = 76 TO 65 MPG I30 1.40
On  FB topic I30  i published my efficiency and you can follow it up, because i will do some tests to find maximum consumption in power using the 1.4 diesel as well.

The text, i will copy here too:

<Just an ode to Garage Moyaert with Huyndai I30 2012 Euro 5 1.4 diesel, and immediately my best diesel record ever in economy! 3.61 and 3.50 liters of diesel per 100 km for a total of 2,864 km from Be via Wallonia and NL to Germany where I refueled for Passau (always at Lukoil because their quantities of liters are very correct and the quality of regular summer diesel is very good) to Lukoil Sofia... See details annex and at  :link: Diesel consumption: Hyundai - i30 - GDH Hatchback - Spritmonitor.de also for all details and prices.

Reasons for this success are many: The cubic layout of the cylinder capacity as Renault also did with the R9M engines and then what I felt: 12 to 20% savings with no loss of diesel when changing gears but still driving in 5th and 6th and very long (37 hours of driving apart from rest in two/three days/nights I thought), the small engine capacity, start/stop and search speed with longest range on display thanks to a very good and detailed on-board computer), the choice of correct tires by Garage Moyaert and the perfect maintenance services and a new clutch disc (West Flemish: embréage) and the right choice of oil (even more than normal oil + intervals here for diesel of 30,000 km, ideal for frequent drivers like me) and the very low and perfect aerodynamics of this I30, especially if you drive along with the trucks and past many 80 km/h work zones in Germany and so on, where 1650 RPM in 6th seems optimal. Finally, I drove barefoot so that I had perfect feel for the diesel consumption with my big right toe (pressing the accelerator pedal = consumption).

Perhaps also test in Sofia how much 'maximum' consumption is during sporty driving versus this experiment later, and so that you see that the turbo compression can also deliver high-performance engine performance.

Thx to everyone, also to Luc Devlamynck who I saw there and who will soon have one of the most beautiful EVs for their sunny holidays!

Anyone who has questions is welcome! +you>


And the link to all consumption from
now on is  :link: Diesel consumption: Hyundai - i30 - GDH Hatchback - Spritmonitor.de


With the video there you can even calculate how many liters are used or still there ar every 'dot' of the 12 stripes for the diesel tank.

If you cannot manage, give me a sign and i will do that for you in some Excel table.

Thx, this is a great car!!! Love the sunglasses you can put on top of the driver as well and the variable steering (sport was best setting because i still did not install the cruise control now). +je
