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?

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...

On a few occasions over the last few weeks the radio (on FM) has stopped pumping out sound for a mega second. I put this down to cut in signal from the radio station.
But today when playing a CD the music stopped mid track for a few seconds.
CD has been played before and no problem.
Has anyone else had this?

Greetings, first post and all.
Over the last two weeks of ownership I have noticed that the i30 Diesel manual prefers warmer temperatures for fuel economy.
When the ambient air temperature is over 20 degrees C during the day, I can attain 3.8lt/100km for 500km.
Yet when the ambient air temp is below 5 degrees C at night, I can't get any better than 4.5lt/100km...

This posting may not apply to our Oz mates as a previous posting said that the Kia Cee'd isn't on sale in OZ.
Came across a posting on a Kia forum were owners were complaining that their car wasn't performing and had to have the ECU remap.
As the i30 and the Cee'd are based on the same platform and bits and pieces will this become an issue...

When driving, my turbo seems to "kick in" about 1500rpm no matter what gear I'm in. And before you say it not dress gear but mechanical gear!!
When in 1st or 2nd this has the effect of pushing me back in my seat. In 4th or 5th the pick up is instant and overtaking is a breeze.
Is turbo "kick in" factory set or can it be tweeked?

My new i30 diesel auto has just had its first 1,000 service. The cost was included in the purchase price. The quote for my next service due at 7,500km is $210 from one authorised dealer and $150 from another also authorised dealer 15 mins drive away. Seems to me there is a good case for shopping around.
I have also been quoted $470 for a spare key pad. Seems incredibly...

What do you guys think about this LPG fumigation? Came across a website in the local paper advertising this.
Claims to improve efficiency by burning more diesel fuels whilst allowing for 20-40% more HP.
It costs $2200 and there's a $2000 government rebate.. so you'd only be $200 out of pocket.
What are your thoughts?

I know I can upgrade these through hyundai but only to the 17inch and I would prefer to stick to the 16 due to the extra $$$$ all round for 17's.
