Hey hey all, I just collected my i30S (Sports version) - we call it here in Singapore.
Collected for just 5 days only, i have enjoyed the ride thoroughly. It's my first car so i can't share too much techie experience here. A question i like to ask: I realised under my bonnet the dry battery pack has a missing cap cover on the neg (-) point, it's exposed openly (the pos one has it tho). I later called the distributor, they claimed it's the same for all Hyundai cars, may i ask if it's the same with rest of the world?

Only my +ve is covered, which I think is quite normal :)
Great news about getting your i30 :D

Only 1 cap on mine
The other has been covered with grease like stuff

Phew, so i know now my ride is not missing anything important. Yes grease is there on mine.
thanks all.

Huh, I noticed that cap thing too a couple days ago - after finally popping the bonnet. Good to know that it's not something missing from the car!

My manual confirms that it is so.

The cover on possitive only is normal.i can't remember seeing both covered on any car.

usually it is just the positive, helps to isolate the terminal from any metal parts that might cause a short circuit. There is no real drama with the negative terminal touching something because, well, it's designed to be touching the body!
A few cars have covers on both, it's certainly not common though. I think it's more for aesthetics and to stop people getting upset because they think something's missing! :wink:
Congrats on your i30! :D
