Hi all, I decided to do a quick check on my oil and found out that my engine oil smells strongly of fuel. Naturally, I was pretty worried about that and took it to get services and looked over.

The mechanic who worked on my car said that it was just due to needing a service; all the components should be fine, and the fuel smell is because it has a turbo. When I got the car back home, I had another look at my new oil and it still reeked of fuel.

I know he said that it was fine, but all other sources suggest that it could lead to a major problem. What do you think?

The car has around 126,000k's with an Xforce exhaust and BFG blow-off valve, which I've just installed.

Hi all!
I've done a quick search, but haven't managed to find the answer so far!
Has anybody replaced a drivers door ( RH drive) lock actuator on a 2017-2024 model?
The previous model looks far easier and there are hundreds of videos on YouTube, but that's not going to help me!
I've found only a couple of YouTube videos for my model , one  on how to remove the outer inner door panel, and one on how to remove the inner door panel. Both of which are very good.
However they don't go as far as to replace the door lock actuator. When I get down to it, it may be easy to work out, once I've removed that inner panel. But I just wondered if anybody has
done the actual job and has any tips?
Any help appreciated....

Hi,

I've got this very odd issue. I replaced all the brake hardware (disc, pads, calipers) on wife's 2013 1.6 crdi i30. This one is with mechanical handbrake. When the handbrake is pulled, right hand side lever goes quite far, maybe close to five millimeters from the stop and in few seconds something inside the caliper brakes loose and the lever goes up to the stopper. This happens with a loud bang.  When this happens, right hand brake wont hold anymore and as both sides are connected that slack also release the left side handbrake. I was pretty sure that the caliper is broken so I got Febi -brand caliper as a replacement. I replaced it and it does exactly the same thing.

That makes me wonder, could it be really that b...

Good afternoon.
Here is a link to a video on how to install a DVR camera with ADAS in our i30 GD:

At some point in its life my i30 GD (2013) has had the auto dimming rear view mirror cleaned by someone at the car yard when it was in for a service, however they've used something that has ruined the treatment and so the mirror has these massive dirty grey swirls all over it that can't be removed. I'd like to replace the mirror with a "new" mirror that retains the same functionality, but I'm having a very hard time finding the right replacement.

I'm in Australia so we never got the fancy mirrors that other countries got that had the rear view camera built in or the "dial for assistance" type features, ours was just a very simple one button on/off auto dimming mirror.

I'd love to know if there are similar mirrors from ...
