A friend of mine owns a hyundai coupe s145 1.6 145hp a car that he bought used (50000km).The car has a low pressure turbo which is placed as a pattent by the official hyundai service i think. the car was checked by several mechanics who found no problem...
the car works perfectly in town and on highway wen not in pressure.but unfortunately after he bought the car and decided to make a long highway trip he found that when the engine is on the fifth or fourth speed and it requires a lower speed (the exact time that all the cars start losing rpm)the same time the yellow check engine light turns on and the cars engine starts to interrupt its normal operation as if the car has no gas. When you change the speed to a lower the problem stops.
the local official service could not solve the problem and the car was sent to the official service in athens greece. They said that that they changed pistons and the problem was caused due to bad and low octane gasoline and that he should now use 95+octane gas.
1st The engine had not been opened so you understand pistons were never changed.
2 The problem was not solved.My friend has tried all the types and brands of high octane gasoline but the problem is still here, The yellow light turns on and....the engine has the same problems
that is very curious because in normal use the engine warks perfect and the car is really fast and you can hear it works perfect. nobody can help him and now that even the official service did what it could do then... who you can ask?
Please reply if you ever had a similar problem or you just have an opinion about this problem.
thank you and forgive me for my bad english/not a native speaker so... thank you again
