I recently came to unlock my i30 with remote, nothing happened, I thought it was the remote, I tried my spare one, still nothing but car was locked, I opened car with key and got in it, when I tried the key in ignition, it was totally dead, I called the AA out, he said its a flat battery and he jumped started it, he tested battery and said the battery needs renewing, I ran the car to put some charge in it, I have had it cheaked since and they say its a good battery, I did not leave anything on, and cannot understand why it should be totally flat like that, any body else experienced anything similar

Someone connected jumper leads the wrong way around and blew a 150A Fusible Link on my 2009 CW. RAC bypassed it. Where do I go to get a replacement, and is it just a case of screwing it in? I can't find anything online.

Hi all, I just bought a new 2018 i30 sr and ive noticed that under a hard acceleration the car seems to turn on the ABS brakes and then once it gets into second gear it dips and then it starts accelerating as normal, is this normal? (Not entirely sure it’s the ABS it just sounds and feels like the car is jolting as if it is turned on). Thanks

Hello. We've got a i30 2010 FD. It is exhibit the issues of one or more failed glow plugs, intermittent labouring start and white smoke,as discussed here 1.6 CRDI Diesel FD - Replace Glow Plugs?. It's not cold weather, and once the car has been used it has to sit around a while before it will do it again.
So, I'm embarking on testing the glow plugs & associated fuse. I've already checked the battery is OK, and I'm happy with the process of doing the actual test but I 'd just like check a few things before embarking on ripping the engine bay apart, if someone with experience would be kind enough to answer.

Hello to everyone!
So I've decided to upgrade my i30 radio from a simple gd-01 to a satnav gd-03. The seller warned me that the device needs decoding before use. Fair enough, there are websites, that can get ones for a reasonable fee. Just when looking for a serial number and model number I'm getting really confused of which what is what? Can someone help me out? The website is asking for a 8 digit serial number and then for a model number (that one is clear). Also after reading some other topics about the same radio swapping adventures I'm now concerned if it's going to work properly (after decoding). Are there going to be needed additional wiring adapters and so on? O, the ALLMIGHTY i30ownersclub webs...

Hi folks, My High and dry i30 had for years has been struggling to get into gear, after looking on good old YouTube I found a fix. I removed the dampener from the master cylinder and guess what ...it's worked, sump plugged now where dampener used to be. But the retaining clip doesn't seem to be holding so once the hydrolic pressure builds up the thing pops apart, I've temporary put a zip tie on to hold together, just to get me to a garage if I need to. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice as to what I've done wrong and point me in the right direction to fix it rather than take to garage. Tia

Absolutely driving me crazy, when I turn right especially on a bumpy road there’s like a crackling noise coming from near side front wheel area. Can’t see anything obvious, has anyone else with the new model experienced this. Also getting rattling noise from the rear of car too. I can honestly say I wish I’d kept my old i30, great car with no problems, this one is a pile of *****. No noise at all when turning left, only happening when turning right. Car is just over 1 year old, registered on 31 May 17.

Had our i30 for just over a year now. We have had a few problems but main one is the brakes. I was approaching a round about when I lost all brakes. My foot hit the floor and nothing happened. Wasn't until brakes were pumped they slightly worked. Got my car off the road and 15 minutes later brakes work again. Now I'm worried they will cut out again. I have brake fluid. And brakes don't need changing. Have done a brake fluid change and just wondered if anyone else had come across this problem as hyundai are no use what so ever
