I bought a new i30 cdri hatch in 2010 with the hope of it lasting for a long time, possibly for the rest of my driving life. I actually chose it as it was a "car of the year". However, it hasn't been exactly trouble free. At about my wife and I noticed a "moaning" sound on take off and reported it. At 43000 the dealer agreed and replaced the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing and machined the flywheel under warranty. Their description of the problem was "found throw out bearing and pressure plate responsible for the noise(were mateing surfaces meet)".Fast forward to June 2016 (6 months and 1800 klm. out of warranty) We became aware of a vibration between 1800 and 2000 rpm under load. It was there at other times but not so noticeable.The dealer diagnosed it as needing a new front right engine mount. Had this work done but almost immediately the vibration started again. Ultimately had all 4 mounts replaced. Vibration still present.All Hyundai would say was take it to a dealer, so we took it to a different dealer who is equally baffled, but they did say that the clutch is going again (no travel in pedal and the moan is coming back)Someone told me about this site, and that my problem was not unique.I find it very difficult to believe that Hyundai customer service is unaware of this site and therefore that Hyundai engineering is unaware of the problem. which leads me to believe that either they cannot fix it or the fix is horrendously expensive.However Australian Consumer Law states that " the goods (must be) of acceptable quality" ,which means that if something fails well within what may be considered to be its reasonably accepted life, a claim may be successful even though the warranty has expired.I will patiently wait to see how this plays out.
Is the moaning only when you engage the clutch to drive away?

I spent 30 minutes writing a message and it seems to have become lost in the "ether". This is only a test to see how long it takes to get posted. If it is lost, I will do it again tonight.
It's Lazarus, Dazz
I'm one who has had 2 clutches changed. One before 40,000km and the other around 80,000kms due to vibration. Unfortunately for me, they ademately refused the second clutch as a warranty problem blaming the presure plate alone what caused the vibration....Now my car is out of warranty, the I'll be doing all the work myself.
The gearbox works well from start and it engages the gears quickly and accurately, but after a day of city driving it sometimes gets a bit hard to get the gear lever to go into the gate, if that’s what I mean. It gets sort of springy and needs a bit more force.Once again thank you all for your assistance. No response from Hyundai yet but I’ll chase them up on Monday.
Or do what I did in the 80s and buy yourself a Datsun 180B as a second car, .
Or do what I did in the 80s and buy yourself a Datsun 180B as a second car, then discover the asswipe sold it to you with a massive leak* in the hydraulic clutch so that you learn to 'sync' gears with no clutch all the way home. *Ended up costing a mere $16 for a service of new seals
