Title: Temp Gauge strange readings i30 sr HELP
Post by: Alter_star on September 02, 2016, 13:14:17

Hi All

I have just bought a brand new i30 SR 2016 model three weeks ago and are in love with it, this would be my third Hyundai that i have owned...... i just a little concern at the moment with my new baby  :(
The temp gauge is giving off really strange readings this started 3 days after i bought it... so doing the right thing i contacted the dealer and booked her in for her in for them to have a look at her, the checked her and did a hard reset on it and hoped that it would be alright but unfortunately it didn't work  :blubber:  now they want to put a whole new cluster into my car, I'm bit weary of this happening as it wont be like new car more it feel like they will be ripping her apart :undecided:.... just wondering if anyone else with an i30 SR has this happen ?????

Hi Alter_star

 :wttc:

Can't recall this mentioned before, but if there's a bad part fitted it must be replaced. It could end very bad if you can't trust the readings from the temp gauge.
Trust them to handle your new car with care..

Welcome.

Sorry to hear that. It will be replaced with brand new parts but I can understand your concerns.

Give it a really good inspection for interior scratches and stuff when you collect it afterwards. If you score any rattles from the replacement be sure to get them sorted.  :Good_luck:

Hmm, maybe it's time to contact Hyundai costumer care and let them know about your experiences...

Sounds a little strange if they shouldn't be able to code a new cluster.. :confused:

It wouldn't be that it is a difficult long repair at warranty rates and the dealer dosen't want to do it would it?
