Title: some of my car built in Chek. and some in Korea i30 2013

  A/C stuffed. So to identify the part Hyundai parts-dept. type in the VIn and out comes the wrong part. The parts mob ( some are brain washed ?) insist they are correct. On my deeper digging I find ( from wreckers) that some parts are via Chekoslavakia and good luck on that!!  Anyone have a similar rude awakening?

I'm guessing you have either a 3 dr or a wagon as both of these GD models were made in Czechoslovakia, imo better made than the Korean variant at the time :goodjob2:

It's the Czech Republic now. where the Hyundai factory is. The sister Kia factory is on the other side of the border in Slovakia, both brands share many common parts. Where I live, the Kia dealer is a lot closer so if I need the OEM part I can usually get it from them.
