Hello!!

My name is Per Åström and I live in northern Sweden.
Two weeks ago I bougth my first Hundai. It's a -09 1.6 CRDi/90 e-Sense with 45 000km on the odometer.

My previous car was a Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI -98 with 250 000km on the odometer.

I think I might have the same problem with the pre-heater plugs as mentioned on this forum. https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=13027.0
It's takes a lot of effort to start the car when it's below -5 C. Last week we had -35 C.

Finished projects on the car
  • 3 pcs Hella 3003 Lights in the front.
  • Solarplexius, sun protection screen system www.sunplex.se

Upcoming project
  • Convert Hella 3003 lights to 55W Xenon

It was really easy assembly with solarplexus, only thing that I struggled with were the tiny windows.
I'll try to post a photo tomorrow.

Welcome aboard Per, it'd be nice if the Solarplexus ad had an English option :-), for folks like me who only have two languages, very bad English and Jibberish.

Of course the sun shines, the spring is the most beautiful period of the year in northern Sweden.

Here's a photo of my car before I mounted the solarplexus:


And here's a photo with solarplexus mounted:

Hei Per.
Welcome, lad.
I have never been to the northern part of Sweden, unless Gavle can be considered so, relative to Uppsala, Marsta and Stockholm  :D
Hejdå

Tack SRT Metro,

Jo, det kom en riktig köldknäpp då det var riktigt kallt. Har varit en ovanligt mild vinter. Kom inte någon snö förrän i december. Ifjol låg snön redan i mitten av oktober.

Beställt 55W Xenonlampor till extraljusen. Så nästa vecka ska jag prova att konvertera dem.
