Is this the drop links issue or that injector problem?

The latter should be a quick fix...

It will be all documented, so any more problems (even out of warranty) should fall in your favour (I would imagine) :cool:

Quick update on the car it's been fixed thank god they replaced all the valve steam seals new glows and new injectors only took them two and half weeks not good for a car with 23000 on the clock but at least it hasn't smoked in a week of driving lets hope it stays good

On the other hand, it was such a rare fault they probably got caught with their pants down, but yes 2 weeks is too long. Any clues as to why this type of failure at23k.

Hi Hibs34

Glad you got it sorted, even though it took a while.

I know, as a costumer, it can be hard to understand why it sometimes takes a long time to diagnose a car.

Many people think: Just plug the computer to the car, an it will tell you what part to replace.

That is not true.

In some cases it requires a lot of manuel readouts from the car, help from the tec's at HQ servicedept. Maybe even waitingtime for a part that is not on stock in the entire country, as it is sometimes the case with rear faults.

It's not allways as easy to be the mechanic/technician with these modern cars, as the electric circuits is very complicated and very sensitive.

Yeh the only way they found it was by taken the manifold of and there they could see the oil come from the exhaust valve I've driven Hyundai from 97 and can't complain one bit bout them very very good carb
