GENERAL / Brake disc replacement issues

« Last post by scuzz 9 minutes ago »

Hi everyone,

I'm changing all the brakes on my Automatic 2014 1.6 diesel i30 and I cannot for the life of me remove the front brake disc. I've done this job on manual cars before.

I've removed the two screws on the disc, removed the m8 bolts at the back  below where the caliper bolts go as I saw that on a manuel online, and still stuck hard!

Am I missing something? I've tried putting the gearbox to neutral instead of park but nothing changed either.

Thanks in advance for any help!

INTERIOR / I30 2009 europe: Add a glovebox to the center console of the dashboard

« Last post by henridr 2 hours ago »

Hello,
here are the modifications to be made to the rear of the dashboard radio / air conditioning console on a European Hyundai I30 FD to replace the cover with a glove box:

it is necessary to cut and file some plastic parts which were used to maintain the original cover.

At first, buy:
- a storage compartment (glove box),
 -4 U-type clips 12x19 (or maybe 13x20),
-4 self-tapping screws M5 15mm (or maybe 20 mm)

Necessary tools:
-files
-metal saw
-or even better a dremel

See the details on the photos of everything that has been filed to adapt the whole.
sorry I did not take a photo before modifications or disassembly of the console which is not easy because you have to force very hard with a spatula to be able to disassemble it

GENERAL / Re: Alternate approach to common gear shift problems, thoughts?

« Last post by zatos99 5 hours ago »

P.S. I'd like to clarify that even though the pedal is pushed 15mm already, it is not engaging the clutch at all as it was previously freeplay.

Well, this was wrong. The rod was just that bit too long, and even when the pedal wasn't pressed, I was getting 2 problems that I thought was related to the EGR: jerky acceleration, clutch slipping at 2500rpm. Workshop manual suggested that it could be insufficient freeplay...reduced pushrod length, 2 problems disappeared. Posting as it may be useful to others with those symptoms 👍

Does anyone know if the pd i30 has a flasher relay that can be changed with a LED compatible one or is it controlled by the computer?

If I recall correctly there is a recessed screw half way up on the edge of the wheel arch liner.
set steering full left should give you access to it.
Check all the plastic pin clips by lying on your back too as she's likely touch something to do that.
