Hi Guys. thought i share with you, in the hope I can find some tips. I have this weird ticking or clicking noise that is exacerbated when the car is cold (even in hot weather) specially, when I don't drive it for a day or two. The noise appears to come from the front right (drivers side) either at the very front of the dashboard or past the window in the bonnet.
IT does seem to sometimes click or tick when going over bumps and stuff, but I Can't reliably tell that, but definitely when cold.
My mechanic had a look to see if anything was loose, and put it down to something inside the dash. but i don't agree, why the cold would have any effect on it?

Hi everyone, I have just acquired a 2008 FD 2Lt with a blown engine and need to swap it out. Looking for technical advice regards the best method. I have a compatible second hand engine from a 2010 FD.
Please reply if you have had experience with the task outlined above (engine remove and replace) or you can point me in the direction of technical manual or an expert.

...starting problems seem to be quite popular in this board
Lately my car has been hesitant to start when warm, and sometimes needed me to turn the car off and on again to re-prime the fuel pump before it starts up. The starter motor sometimes makes that awful sound when the sprag clutch isn't happy and on occasion the starter has turned but all I hear is the starter motor turning, which I suspect is due to the solenoid not kicking the fork forwards to lock the gear into place on the flywheel.
I suspect a service kit is needed so I have requested some prices on that. I believe getting to the starter is easiest done via the bottom of the car, so that is the route I will be taking once I get the kit and have a...

Hi all, my i30 2010 2.0 has an annoying intermittent problem where the engine seems to surge while driving. Thought it was transmission issue but just serviced and issue remains. Service and auto service just done not rectifying issue. My mechanic seems at a loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've had the master drivers door switch for the passenger window go on me again for the second time so took the car into Hyundai this afternoon for the lovely Chantel to take her photos of the switch and service booklet, here's hoping they can pressure Hyundai for a goodwill warranty replacement as it's three months out of cover now

Hey,
Hoping someone much more knowledgeable than myself may have a solution to my problem.
Roughly three weeks ago the speakers in my 2013 i30 Tourer stopped emitting any sound.
I first noticed it when turning the car on and I was met with silence. However, turning off and on again fixed it on that one occasion. The on-off fix only worked the one time and I've since been driving around in silence. Although, maybe a week later I turned the car on and there was audio again, but once turned off, it has been back to complete silence.
The head unit still functions totally normally. Bluetooth connects, I can make/answer calls etc. Just no sound.
I've tried checking the fuses and they all seem...

Been working away for 10 days, drove car yesterday to work and EPB warning light remained on. No issues with brake physically being on that I could feel, and the handbrake switch appeared to function ok. No EPB light on way home, but four subsequent short trips EPB light has remained on. Operator Manual states go to the trusty Hyundai dealer Anybody else had this happen on their PD ??

I have a second hand, ex lease 05/2011 I30 diesel SLX. When you start it up the headlights come on and cannot be turned off. Basically, the on off switch is redundant as far as I can gather. There doesn't seem to be an automatic switch on it either. Suggestions. Thanks.

My 2012 i30 Elite (GD) doesn't have a latch, you just unlock the car and push the petrol door which makes it pop out. Then unscrew the cap. Since Friday night, it's not opening. No matter what I do to push it, the door won't release. Even showing something in to lever it open isn't working and looks like it'll just break something.
Piss poor timing as it's weekend and Hyundai are closed.
Two questions I suppose?
1. How can I wedge it open? 2. Is this a Hyundai only thing, can any mechanic fix it or do I have to take it to a smash repairer?
