Error codes stored in the ecu were not there after the reset. car was hyundai elantra.

Even we unplug battery cables the charged capacitors in the ECU will remain charged and will hold up the memory for sometime. Therefore you need to wait until the capacitors discharge. Some say you can do in instantly after disconnecting the battery and then pressing break paddle few times. Since break lights are controlled by ECU it will waist the remaining charge of the capacitors by consuming it at the ECU. This does not mean that ECU will try to light up the break lights from capacitors but it will drain the capacitors by taking their charge to operate ECU itself. I am not 100% sure but it worked on my car. Thanks.

I can't compare these two since I have not driven primera. But 1.6mn for a 2001 sonata is too much. I think it should be around 12 - 14mn for a car in good condition.

Like the 2011 elantra. I don't want to import that car now. I will wait another 1 or 2 years and let it depreciate its value.

Thanks for the information. problem of buying a brand new korean is that after two years time the value will depreciate to 1/3 of its original value.

Hi, Do you know any hyundai importers? (used vehicles). I know there are lot of cars which has been imported from singapore around 2003-2005. But it seems after that only Hyundai lanka(pvt) is the option. If you know any importers please let me know. Thanks.

Which paper? I think Accent is made in India (they call it Verna). But Elantra may be from Korea, not sure.

What is your model?

wow hyundai sonata 8-10 and 12-14. I thought 2.4l engine won't do more than 6km/l. (Used a 2000 one before it only did 7Km/L for a long trip)

hmm, Dodn't know which accent they are talking about. Don't think it is the 2012 model. Anyway they quoted 3.8 mil for a 2011 elantra (don't know the full spces). Anyway how do you know about the fuel consumption in i20. I have heard that accents are also good on fuel.

I'm not getting you. I spoke with them yesterday and they told me that 2011 elantra is available now and approximate time of delivery will be three months. How could they not bringing down any vehicles anymore?

may I know where is that?

bit out of the thread, but is it normal to have a oily surface near and around intake manifold gasket?

woh, that is quite expensive. anyway where I can find these kind of tool? Thanks for the response.

sorry for digging up an old thread. But does anyone know how much would be a decent torque wrench?

Juki workshop pepiliyana. They test compression. But make sure you read the values rather than listening "good or bad" by the tester.

UPDATE - I replaced fuel filter and changed gear oil. Both were not in good condition so I think it is okay. But vibration thing still there. But now it is not noticeable every time. On the way back I was getting that shaking thing intermittently. I guess it is not a mechanical problem. May be MAP sensor is incorrectly calculating the vacuum and then ecu calculates the engine load incorrectly. Anyway it is lot better than it used to be and shifting is very smooth now.

Any ideas of having synthetic oil for transmission? is it good for a 10 year old vehicle?

do you get the vibration thing when taking off?

downloaded one DVD which contained my vehicle. and found they only have USA models.

Yes. clutch kit was replaced (clutch, pressure plates and release bearing). Didn't cure the problem. I think more and more it is something related to engine. I am 99% sure it is not air. So I have left fuel and spark. I have changed the spark plugs but not wires. I guess wires give you trouble in high speeds, not in low speeds. Now I have left fuel. will check and change the fuel filter this week end. Have anyone come across this kind of problem?

Yes I am considering that too. how often manual gear oil should change?

Do you know any places to buy wurth products? Any ideas how it work?

Actually changing fuel filter is my next step. Can it be that? not getting enough fuel to the engine? Do you know any places where they check fuel pressure?

hmm. well AC is working. So this means low gas or high gas?
