  • Disappointing test drive with Hyundai ix35

    Since many of them are so enthusiastic about SUV, we also wanted to get a picture of such a vehicle. The result is sobering, at least after an extensive test drive with the Hyundai ix 35: Only the entrance is a bit more pleasant. The seats themselves only medium size, too short support and in the back area a little too hard. Amature area gray in grey made of hard plastic. Somewhere it always pinches. Absolutely no feel-good atmosphere. You feel every pothole, every floor unevenness. Excessively loud a From 120 loud wind noises, as I don’t have them in my E-Class at 180. The view backwards miserable, you never know where the car ends. The 2 Ltr. petrol engine has fallen, nice strong. Consumption not measured but determined over 10 Ltr. Conclusion: The 1200 km I drove 2 weeks ago from the Atlantic to my home in a slide I would not do to myself with this uncomfortable swing steamer.

  • P0135

    Hello, I’m new here, I’ve been stuttering a lot but I’m still not quite conclusive what’s going on with my car… I changed my ignition coils about two months ago after a defective one. Otherwise, actually no problems have had so far… Now I have more often the Mkl lights, error p0135. Sometimes also p0171was it comes after I think… My question is now, can it be that the spark plugs have not survived the change of ignition coils and therefore I have problems with the lambda? I checked the circuit for obvious errors, lmm should also be fine, obd does not show so vaguely, temperature sensors should be loud obd also fine. What I noticed now, when the engine has run warm, which jumps to kat probe conspicuously, which does not do when the engine is cold. First 15 minutes by car the probe moves constant around the 0.7v…. When the engine is warm, it jumps once from 0.3 to 0.9…. & sw The before kat always moves between 0.1 and 0.9 … that should actually be normal… I honestly don’t know anything anymore at the moment. I don’t have any money to spend it unnecessarily in the ws …. would rather find and fix the mistake yourself. Vlt it really is just a wackler, I would be happy, but how can I find out? If now someone thinks I should measure through, please explain exactly how…?? I can really do a lot, but that’s one thing that doesn’t want to be in m a head Thanks already once in advance

  • Never again Hyundai!

    The following happened: In 2016 I bought a IX35 from the dealer in Munich, which was also the only previous owner and drove 6000 km on it, I another 25000. Now the Simmerring of the gearbox leaks and the oil runs on the clutch, which then slips through. The clutch is defective and has to be replaced. But the best thing is that Hyundai workshops do not bother and change the Simmerring, but install a new gearbox immediately!! The whole thing of course. What it costs is then told to me after the repair. There is no financial participation. If you ask google, the problem is already known to several people. I have found thereby transmission professionals, which already know this problem (the input shaft is wrongly processed ex factory) and have fixed this already more often. Kulanz from Hyundai, neither directly nor from the seller nor from the workshop can be forgotten, since I no longer have the great 5 year guarantee. It is logical that a car with broken gasket at 31000 km mileage is quite normal. Also a new transmission is constantly installed at such a mileage and the owner of the car pays the bill. The error can not be found by a layman. The error is known, only with Hyundai nobody knows it. I can only advise to buy a Hyundai. One is completely abandoned!

  • Tucson 132 hp vs 177 hp

    Does anyone have a direct comparison between the 132 hp and the 177 hp gasoline engines in the Tucson? The trend is the only variant that offers both engines. Is the price difference of 2750€ only the engine 45 hp or is there more equipment installed? Was today at Hyundai and wanted to do a test drive spontaneously. Had only the big diesel but in 14 days I can drive the 177 hp.

  • Problem outside temperature IX35 Facelift

    Hello, at the current temperatures (-12 C) is shown with me e.g. 4 C. The temepratur rises and falls also. So the feeler “feels” what. I thought if it are the Fahrenheit values, but with Celsius as symbol. It could be true. If I switch to Fahrenheit, it calculates the current value. Has anyone ever had the problem? 2. Question: Can someone sgaen me, where the feeler in the engine compartment of the 1.6 Facelift IX35 is ? possibly with a picture ? Thanks

  • Decreased performance and motor lights during motorway journey

    Moin together, I have problems with the Santa Fe at irregular intervals – especially with motorway rides between 120 and 140 km/h. The symptoms are always the same: – creeping down performance, hardly any acceleration possible – engine light (once blinking, sometimes steady) – on the parking lot then max 3000 rpm with pedal passed – error codes times P2002, times P2015 After a engine restart runs completely normal again.The error code can be deleted, then is quiet. T Can the 3000U/min be related to the “emergency program”? Can this problem also be related to the accelerator or the associated electronics? I had the feeling in between that there was a resistance when giving gas, for example, as if the floor mat was in the way, which it was definitely not. Can it be that there might also be a software problem here? Is there actually the possibility to play “software updates” n? Questions about questions. I thank you for helpful contributions! Greetings from the North Tojo375

  • Hyundai ix55 Accessories

    What accessories are there for the ix55 – body metal rims (size) – etc Thanks

  • ix35 – Please explain these prices to me! Where is the best place to buy?

    Hello! In advance, I as a woman don’t know me so well with it now, therefore forgive me if I am totally wrong with my questioning! I decided after a long time back and forth for the ix35. At the local dealer I pay for a new car 166 hp petroler from 24.000 upwards. In various Internet car search engines the prices start at around the 20,000, then Navi is already there and the rest of the equipment sounds good. Alistic prices are offered on the internet? Are also car dealers, just not here with me around the corner! Shouldn’t that be the case, and I really have to beat the 25,000 for a new car, it will probably become nothing so quickly 🙁 concrete- where do you buy a cheap ix35? I don’t necessarily need a new car, but used ones are apparently quite rare! I would be very happy about a few tips! Have a nice day and love greetings!

  • Burned rubber smell!!!

    When I turn off my tucson, you can see the smell of burnt rubber, not always and also under different conditions. In most cases where I noticed the smell, I didn’t drive too fast or with high load, like trailer operation. Today I was only with my daughter at the doctor in the neighboring town, when I drove my tucson into the garage, smelled like As in the cases before, I looked at everything, engine compartment, wheels, brakes, underbody, wire harnesses in the visible area, exhaust system etc., I could not find out where the smell comes from. It can almost not be due to overheating, because I noticed the smell in the summer at over 30° or as today at -11°. To my Tucson, 2.0 CRDi Built. 2009, 150 HP 4WD, he has now driven about 43000 km mileage, always gentle, no gelling Does anyone of you have the same problems or suggestions about what it can be or what can be the cause??? Thank you for your support. MfG Gerd

  • Sporadic Ruckler Sante Fe 2007 – 2.7 ltr. petrol 04/2009

    A hello in the round, I come from the A8 forum, but my father has some problems with his then () new re-import Santa Fe, petroler, 2.7 ltr. 189 hp. (139 KW). This has now 143,000 km on the clock, ZR etc. were changed at about 105,000 km. All services etc. made. Problem: Since about 15,000 a single, sudden jerk who goes through the vehicle… Not bad, driver realizes it, an uninvolved not… It annoys him, me too… We are very sensitive. The spark plugs at 105,000 km changed, again when the problem was already there, before about 10,000 km – problem remained. It is neither dependent on rotary zhal, nor on speed and can NOT be reproduced. MEIST it occurs from 140 km/h on the highway, with MEIST under load, but also not always. Then it can also be two, three rucksacks by irregular distance (but shortly after – so 8-10 seconds). The contract workshop says: error memory empty, drive until it IMM ER occurs. Freie Werksatt says: Error memory empty, hmmm…. Are there any tips for me here? Thank you and many greetings Michael
