Hi all

You see it PAYS TO COMPLAIN that way Hyundai fix problems- they will do nothing unless everyone tells them they have a problem- answer is do NOT take NO for an answer.

We did it in the UK and they have achieved it in Australia so come on the rest of you get things changed by complaining- Will the change of Diff help you in the USA and Canada?

Cheers

Hi,

If the Tucson V6 2.7 FC is abnormal and making headache for everybody batter replace it by a 4 cylinder one that is it B)

Another Couple of months on after the mod and my computer is now showing 11.2 l/100

If i calculate it out after filling up its between 11.0 and 11.2 usually so the computer is pretty accurate..

I would guess after another 10000 it might go down to 11.1

This is on standard unleaded

I did try a couple of tanks of premium unleaded .( not the highest octane one) and I calculated it got around 10.8 but the increase in price 5c ( 3.5%) wasnt giving me the increase in economy .. only 3% .. If fuel gets a bit more expensive and the price diff remains at 5c then it would be worth it to change over .

got 951 miles on my 2008 SE FWD V6 and i'm getting 16.8 MPG and improving
with each fillup.

My Tuscon V6 has travelled 42,000 kms and according to my fuel log, consumption has improved slightly. Yes, the V6 is a thirsty engine around the city. Stopped at traffic lights it drinks fuel by the litre. The best you get is around 16 litres per 100 kms (sorry someone will have to convert that to MPG).
On the highway, expect 12.2 litres per 100 kms.
Consumption varies subject to wind conditions, load, tyres, etc. Best I've ever got was 11.7 and worst (on highway) was 12.8.
In every other way the vehicle is excellent for what I need - a city & outback vehicle for Australian conditions. I'm waiting for the diesel version. Hope they smarten up the interior as per the new Santa Fe.
Hyundai is doing a good job of improving its image but it will take years to overcome the 'cheap' syndrome. An Aussie TV comedy poked fun at the brand when the teenage son said "Mum, when I start work I wanna be effluent" Mother replies, "you already are, son, you've got a Hyundai". Ouch!
