Title: 2015 crdi auto dc issue
Post by: Khris on May 22, 2023, 13:46:48
Hi,
New here....only wish I knew off forums existence years ago!
We have a 2015 i30 as above.
8 years old with 57,000 on the clock. Been having trouble with a shudder when first starting off (1st use for day) After that drives ok BUT the response in the auto is not as smooth as it should be and is noticeable.

Been having serviced by Ultratune, as I gave up with Hyundai and them ripping me off (quote a price for service, supposed to fixed price but when I went to pickup I was charged another $45 over the price quoted)
Told them of issue but they couldn't work out what it was although they felt the problem.

I recently took it to Hyundai dealer re problem and they upgraded/updated software. Given age I paid for time only!
Worked well for a couple of days then back to shudder 1st off.
They had it back for a day and uploaded software a few more times during day.
got it back last Wednesday arvo. Going great guns. Thought problem solved.
Alas today, taken wife to hospital appointment and problem has returned.
When I picked it up they said the only other option was $3,600 to replace clutch pack!!
The problem I am having is that, to me, if it was the clutch pack, updating software would NOT have solved the issue even temporarily!
I am thinking along the lines of an electrical issue!
Thoughts please!
For the kms on clock I is not a happy chappy :(
