Rgds,

I had a cruise control fitted by my dealer pre-delivery. It has just broken down for the second time in 3,000kms. Indicator light goes out, fuse is intact.

On both occasions it has quit at the automatic entry gate to a public car park in Perth CBD. Two different car parks.

I don't suffer coincidences like that easily. I think there is spurious radiation being generated...

Say for example i removed the particle filter of my i30 1.6 diesel what would happen? Power loss? More smoke? would it damage the engine?
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers i30man

Following on from discuusions in the "3 months too long to wait" topic.....

I have just got off the phone from the dealership where I purchased my i30.

They told me that what they are telling all of their customers to do is to go in (say at the 1000km free service) and say that they need a second remote so that their partner/friend/whatever can pick the car up after...

Hi Everyone...

As some of you may remember, I've been around these forums for a few months, and was keen on the i30. And now, I've just bought one! i30 SX in petrol, manual, in silver, with rear spoiler! Got it at a kick-**** price! I get it in about 15 working days, which is about 3 weeks. Can't wait!!!

...

From reading postings on this subject there seems to be a wide variation in fuel consumption.

Can you post your best and worst over the next few weeks and against each the type of driving i.e. town, motorway leisure, mixed etc

If enough enter details I'll collate and do a summary posting at the end of May.

This way we'll see if figures given by Hyundai...

Hi from Greece !!!
Does any one install so far a HID kit in i30 ????
Also some reviews for aftermarket alloy wheels ???
Thanks

Hi All,

Since the launch of the i30 I have seen many "performance mods" (I use that term loosely) on Ebay for diesel vehicles, my understanding is these mods boost the fuel pressure at the rail and that is pretty much it...

Some of these so called performance modules cost in the hundreds (if not over a thousand) of dollars.

I am not interested in those,...

Checking my engine oil after 4880 miles, engine cold and overnight, I see that it has just moved to below Max.

Does anyone have any stats on oil useage for 1.6 diesels?

Reading the Handbook it mentions engines with the Particulate filter.
Do UK models have this as this will effect the oil to use?

Picked up my brand new vivid blue i30 CRDi SLX this morning, bright and early of course!

Lovely car, as we all know.

Spent most of the morning playing around with the USB interface trying to get a handle on how it works, and optimising a 120GB Western Digital portable USB drive to work with it the easiest way.

My aim is to get it working with about 30GB...

Playing around with the radio settings today, does anyone know what SDVC and Scroll do in the menu?

I didnt get a radio manual, only an i30 owners manual.

If the battery is removed, does a PIN have to be entered to get the radio working again?

A dealer has offered to show me a car, does anyone know where the build plate is located?

I cant tell if its an 07 or 08, couldnt find it in the engine bay, on the door jamb or in the glove box.

Even the owners manual doesnt state where its located.

Does anyone know?

Hi Guys,

I'm hittin the sack or it'll be Friday! But b4 I go can anyone hear a turbo whine or whistle when they give their Crdi a rev... One of my previous work vehicles was a 2.5 Turbo diesel Ford Courier and one of the few good things about it was the Turbo noise (usedto sound like the cops were on yur tail)

How come we don't get one of those (or is my...

Now the i30 has been on sale for 10 months in UK and as long in Oz has any member heard if there are any recalls yet?

Hi, this is my first post here lol.

My Husband and I were looking at the i30 online last night and were very interested in it. I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me about the car.

Firstly, how many anchor points does the car have? We will be needing 2.

Will there be enough space for 2 car seats and a booster seat across the back seat?

Hi Everyone,

Have updated the Flyer I prepared earlier to reflect our new URL etc...

So (for new members..) the idea is to print a handful to have in your car for when you spot an i30 in a car park or the like. Just slip one under the wipers and hopefully "pull" a few new members. Imagine we might not do better than say 1 in 10 as not everybody is a car fanatic.

For a while now, I've heard a sort of clicking/switching sound coming from just behind the steering column or somewhere around there.

It almost sounds like a thermostat switching on/off or the sound that usually accompanies a warning light coming on.

Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything similar and maybe knows what it is?

Hi guys.. i took a picture of i30 turbocharger when i installing new intercooler.. interesting fact that the i30 turbo has the same turbo as KIA ceed turbo as shown in pics the have KIA PARTS # as well as Hyundai PARTS #, but the good things is , The turbo is GARRET HONEYWELL

Hey,

Jus wondering if anyone was able to source a iPod connector cable under $115.00.
I have just purchased a I30 and just found out that you need to purchase an additional cable.

If anyone could help !!

Just read an article at goauto.com.au which stated that the i30 is the first Korean car that scored five stars crash test rating by the ANCAP along with the new Lancer. That's a good new default/' '' /> It's interesting that in europe it was given only 4 stars.

Hi guys,
Most of our entries in this forum seem to be pretty positive. default/thumbsup.gif' 'thumbsup.gif' />
Thats stands to reason as we here for the most part own and love our i30"s.
I just thought it would be interesting to list some of the thing we love about our...

Does anyone know if there is a workshop manual available for the i30 yet or know when/if one will be available?

When I had my Accent I would go to but i30 not listed as this is US site.

With the 5 year warranty I wouldn't attempt any repairs but if anything does goes wrong I like to know what it is so I can compare my diagnosis with what the dealer says....

How can you tell when your car was built?

I have a sticky "plate" by the door latch, passenger side with letters and numbers on.
Is this the "build" plate?
If not where is it?

If so how can I interpret the info and find out when my i30 as built.

On my car it came with black underbody protective seal but where the exhaust runs by the rear wheel there is none, just the body paint.

The dealer check other cars they had on display and they were the same.

Is this the same on all I30's?

...the VW Golf TDI!

Drive had this to say about the i30 CRDi in summary:

The engine is world-class, the build quality good, the space efficiency of the design impressive and the pricing - as always - unbeatable. But the dynamics are flawed. A set of grippier tyres is needed, as is the Protectz safety pack. You will feel better about having your nearest and dearest in...
