Hi crdi owners. My diesel auto was returning between 7 & 8 litres per 100Kms for the first 5000 kms on country running. After 10000 the fuel consumption deteriorated at 30000 I am struggling to get 10 litres per 100Km on the same trips. I had the 30000 service completed today & the dealer said the fuel consumption was within the
allowable figures. My speedo also appears to show...

Was wondering if anyone has had any problems with engine ping when accelarating. I have the V6 petrol model. I have been using unleaded fuel and was told by the dealer, after a recent service, that I should use Premium or the Shell 95 unleaded fuel. I tried this but still get a bit of pinging from the engine, although not as bad. I was wondering whether anyone has had a similar problem.

Hi
I have just returned from a 400 mile round trip to collect some wheels. Went up empty, ride as usual, harsh and bouncy. Returned with 5 wheels and tyres in back and RIDE was SMOOTHER and far less HARSH.
SO.............
Where did I put those breeze blocks.

Does anyone have any info on better quality springs and dampers in the UK?

Bought a 2004 2.9 manual Terracan just before Christmas, 75000km on the clock. Overall I am very happy, as I am also using it to tow a caravan (what a feast!). One or 2 problems / questions :

1) as I drive, I get a sudden loss of power (revs), typical if the turbo disengage or for a moment no diesel get through. It happens infrequently, but recently I notice it to happen at least...

Recently let fuel go low on my 2.9 diesel terracan, filled up and a day later all of a sudden had a loss of revs and power. It runs fine up to 2.5k revs but wont go past approx. 2.8k revs. Drives fine but lack of power. Put in a couple of bottles of injector cleaner and changed funny looking fuel filter but still the same. Starts fine ticks over fine and no warning lights. Cant do more than...

My original front wheels on my 3 year old Terracan were very pitted and my dealers recently changed them under warranty. The existing tyres (BF Goodrich Macadams) were refitted and, to cut a very long story short, they are both losing pressure, big time - up to 9psi in 24 hours! I have to pump them up twice a day!! The first time it happened, I called my mobile tyre fitter thinking...

My wife Terracan was hit by another car on the left front side. After repairing it, we get a strong smell of exhaust gases coming from the air conditioning.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
I don't know where the fresh air intake is, or where is the inside air intake, or the flow circuit of the air conditioning, so my question is "Is it possible that exhaust gases can get...

Hi - I'm new to this site so please bear with me!

I'm just about to buy a 54 reg Terracan diesel manual with 19,000 miles on the clock. - I'm part-exing my X-trail as we need a bigger motor to tug our new caravan

How do I remove the front indicator/sidelight (parking light unit) so that I can replace a blown bulb?

If I take out the screw on the top of the indicator/sidelight unit, it comes slightly loose, but there's no obvious way to remove it to replace either of the bulbs. If I also remove the 3 bolts securing the headlamp unit, both plastic units move together, I can just see the...

Hi,

I need to buy a set of 4 fuel injectors for my 2003 Hyundai Terracan 2.9 Common Rail.

I live in Costa Rica and none of the companies that import Hyundai vehicles and parts have them in stock now and even though they offer to bring them, they say it would take at least 4 weeks to have them here… and that is just too much time.

I really can’t wait that long for...

My 2005 CRDi auto has now covered 12000mls and what started as a vibration from transmission on pull away has now progressed to the shudder reported by other owners.
There is no diff whine at present so I am wondering if it is just a matter of having the diff oil replaced with the revised stuff or is it likely that damage will have occured to the bits that are sticking/slipping.

A short testimoney to the structural strength of the Terracan, I was last week involved in a bad accident where a 2.5 ton van ran into the back of my stationary 2006 Terracan at 50 mph. The entire transmission and engine was ripped from the van and it folded in half.

I wonder if anybody has any suggestions about this. My 2003 Terracan Diesel Auto has the automatic climate control fitted. I set the temp to 21C in either auto or manual mode and it warms up as it should. It then cuts the heat but continues to blow cool air. The problem is that it never turns the heat back on unless I keep increasing the temp all the way up to the max of 32C. I have checked this...

Hello, I have recently bought a 2004 Terracan. I was wondering if anyone has ever had the same problems or at least heard of it. I had to return the car to the garage for the second time within 2 weeks because of starting problems.

Hi guys I have a newly developed problem with my Terracan and was wondering if anyone else has had the same and if so what was it??

Hi,does anyone else experience a CLUNCKING noise from the front when on a uneven surface.It sounds like it comes from the front passenger side area,maybe suspension?The dealer has changed a joint on the steering but it still makes the noise,is this because they have soft suspension?Ho it's a 2005 terrecan 2.9 auto with 6k miles.

Hi
Has anyone tried the Australian or American upgrade chip?
I have read great things about it on the web. It would apear to be very easy to fit and cost less than £150-00

Does anybody in here know alot about the terracan, the technical aspects. Let me explain further.

I am technical as it comes the hondas in that i know which engine fits in what body and which parts interchange and which bearing is the same as the other etc.
for example i know that a mitsubish 4g63 engine (evo) can bolt into the body of an accent quite easily.

Hi
I have a 2004 Diesel, and am really pleased with it. I have had a few reservations about the harsh ride, road noise, and handeling.

Just a quick note to say I have just got rid of my Terracan with 70000 miles on it in 20 months, after the diff was sorted by 30000 I have had NO FAULTS. The car averaged 28mpg and used 1 litre of oil to 10000 miles tyres lasted 40k on the front and 60k on the rear, the car was loaded fully and permanently as I use my car for work as mobile engineer and pulled a caravan at weekends so its fair to...

I have a 2004 Terracan 2.9 diesel auto which has covered 21000 miles in six months, it has been faultless except for the rear differential which is a limited slip unit, this has a loud whine at 75-80 mph it is also the second unit I have had fitted under warranty.

I am toying with the idea of losing the underbody spare(at rear) and setting up a second fuel tank for the Terracan.

Lets face it you always get what you pay for in the end. This Terracan of mine is fast becoming my most dissappointing motor.

Sometimes when its cold, sometimes when its hot it just doesn't fire up. I have to sit around like a dummy for five...

have just purchased a new terracan and have felt this vibration start at around 75-80km around town - the dealer doesn't acknowledge any fixes - just the problem- have read all the forums on this - anywhere from fitting better shockies to diff problems - has anyone had this fixed -the car has done this from new and has only done 700km.

I purchased a 2004 Terracan a couple of days ago, my old car was a 1997 lwb Shogun.
I feel like I am in a very similar car, eg, Switches, seats, gearbox, controlls etc.
Is this just coincidence or is there a tie up with Mitsubishi?

Hi ppl,

About to decide between a 2006 Terracan auto or a 2006 Sorento auto.

Any drastic issues with the Terracan I should know about?

I am now the proud owner of pre-registered Terracan bought from a main dealer with 12 miles on the clock for 14 grand.

Thats better just had to get that off my chest
