I know this is pretty basic stuff, but don't forget to have the wheels off your new car when you get a chance. They never grease the studs at the factory, so if you don't do it yourself and you get a puncture next year you may struggle to remove the wheel.



Took mine off this evening and the studs were as dry as a bone. I also put a fine film of grease on the hub that's starting to rust already and a bit of grease on the hub screws to stop the slots from rusting away.

Didn't have time to clean and wax the wheels - that'll have to wait.

Thanks M8..

Sounds like good advice!

thanx m8, good tip i was thinking about rotating my wheels as have 6,000k up so should be about time, on everything else i put anti seize or hi temp copper anti seize , as it's a good idea also help not get false tension when tightening nuts up. not to mention cuts down on thread wear.

Hello. Is that the picture of the i30 hub? Thank you very much.

Hi M-D

Welcome to the club... are you considering buying an i30 or are you just interested in different cars...

[MikkiDuda]

... I was asking because the topic was mentioned on the local Hyundai forum and somebody said it does not look like a i30 hub. Best regards to you all

Sorry M-D...

I only saw the description of your 2nd car... (overlooked the i30 reference)

Hello. Is that the picture of the i30 hub? Thank you very much.

Yes - it's my i30 hub. Are there different hubs for different models, maybe?

[MikkiDuda]

Thanks a lot. And that in the upper right corner is a part of the brake disk surface? Somebody said is not a disk but a drum (I hope I said it right). ...

No mines the same.

MikkiDuda,

Will you just bring the i30 to Aus? would that cost much..  

[MikkiDuda]

No. I think I will sell it here to have money for a new start. On the other hand a buy-buck system that would allow me to take it to the dealer here in Romania and pay a difference to a new one in Australia would be so great... But for the moment I do not know for such a system to exist...

Best regards. Nice meeting you all.

Good luck with the immigration...We have an i30 and live in Australia already (well a lot of us anyway...) so we're a bit lucky
