Hi All,
Just bought a used 2008 diesel, and love driving it.
Problem i have is the outside temperature display is showing readings of 45 - 52 degrees C , but the weather here in Ireland is 5 degrees C max at the moment.
Any advice please.
-
Hi ajjc. Are you sure the temp display isn't showing degrees Fahrenheit?
-
Hi Shambles
I checked for that and its 52 degrees Centegrade!
-
Hmm I don't think we ever solved the mystery of where the temp sensor is located. Might be wrong about that though. Could be worth a search if you fancy it...
-
Have you tried resetting in the menu settings?
If not, then try doing this and reset temp to either C or F and then see what is displays.
As to location of the sensor this has been asked before but no reply as to where it is has been posted.

I have replaced more temperature sensors on cars over the years than I care to remeber. Jet washing them is often the cause.
-
its more than likely just a crook sensor. :mad: but you still have 3 years warranty. :mrgreen:
-
:idea: Check that it is not loose and is sitting hard against the radiator... :cool:
OR
Take it to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty... :D

I wonder what the gauge reads when starting from cold....?
Alan?

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies
The car was not used today, but started it up tonight, and it showed a reading of 54 degrees C straight away. That might rule out a loose sensor leaning against a hot radiator, so I will call to a Hyundai dealer on monday.
Warranty here in Ireland is only 3 years, but that still gives me just over 1 year left.
Alan.
-
3 years.! :eek:
-
Hi 2i30s
Yeah 3 years, UK have 5 years, whats it in AUS.
-
5 years m8. :mrgreen:
-
Dont know why its only 3 years here, but the way I look at it is if Hyundai stand over a 5 year warranty everywhere else, then it should be a good car. Funny thing is, Kia give a 7 year warranty in Ireland, and the Ceed would be a sibling of the i30, but the i30 outsells it.
-
a few of the members have stated that the build quality on the ceed isn't as good as the i30,but it uses the same engines and transmissions.
-
i30 has 3 years warranty in Sweden too since 1/1-2009. :'( :'( :'(
i30 sold before that date has 9 years warranty.
Kia Ceed has 7 years warranty. :) :) :)
-
Drive a Ceed and you will soon spot the difference. Drive a KIA Picanto Petrol and never want to drive again!
-
Short it out and see what shows.
This will eliminate faulty gauge

hi Alan, as they say, they do it if they can. if they are out selling, or selling well with 3 year warranty why would they change. KIA on other hand have to build up a reputation so need to go overboard on warranty.
about your gauge who knows but it's not an issue really as you would have a good idea yourself if its hot or cold outside. cheers
