GENERAL / Damaged Front wing replacement.
« Last post by Ozz July 30, 2026, 17:18:04 »
I have a 2015 i30t -GDi 4 door that has a dented o/s front wing.
Does anybody know if the wing off a 2015 3 door will fit as a direct replacement ?
Tried the local Hyundai dealership and say they were unhelpful is an understatement!

Throttle body or MAF sensor (or is it MAP on these)?

GENERAL / rear light lens
« Last post by Snoozy July 28, 2026, 23:16:22 »
Hi folks, we have a broken left rear light lens. Question is: do we need to replace the entire rear light or are the lenses themselves replacable. Recent research tells me the whole unit needs to be replaced but thought I'd ask.
2017 i30 GD
Thanks

Mine's a CRDi so I'm not sure I'll hit on the right points but I would think about fuel or air pressure as in any leakage affecting optimal mixture or fuel supply.

The car won't go on the first push start attempt first thing in the morning. Will kick over on second press. Then on the odd occasion just keeps cranking over and wont start.  I have managed to get it to fire after keeping left foot on brake and pumping accelerator. It starts and continues to almost stall several times and eventually it keeps running (be it rough) for a period,then settles down to normal idle. You can let it run and shut it off after that and it starts first press of start button. The rest of the day it doesn't have any issue starting. And the next morning same thing. Its a lot worse if car doesn't get a run for a few days.
Have fitted new fuel pump, Crank position sensor and new Battery recently and problem not resolved.

Armchair diagnosing your story results in less attention given to the possibility of the system motors-onwards being the problem. Are the windows clean and free of obstruction? Is the window riser system well lubricated? A big clue is that, despite the switches performing well in isolation, the effort against both friction and gravity seems to be situated elswhere.

PETROL / Window problem
« Last post by DanR July 10, 2026, 09:10:37 »
Hi
My i30 has developed the window problem that seems to be affecting the i30.
I have a 2011 Comfort 1.6 petrol estate.
Passenger front switch lowers but doesn't always raise the window. The master switch also doesn't raise the nearside windows.

I've had both switches out, apart and have
cleaned the contacts with spray cleaner. The motor is receiving voltage and the switches work fine when checking with a multitester.

I've read some posts here on the topic but there doesn't seem to be conclusive fix for the issue.
The switches work off the car but are intermittent when plugged into the window motor.
I've seen the switches available quite cheap but are probably copies. I replaced the window washer motor with a cheaper one and that's been ok.
Looks like that's what I'll need to do and hope it works.
Any help appreciated.
