Hyundai i30 FD (2007-2012) Questions & Answers

Hi Sam. I'm not a mechanic but it would seem as if the fuel is not getting through properly ? Definitely be taking your i30 for a service. Cheers

I really don't know.... sorry. the only thing I can suggest is the Hyundai site.

Not much available for general download. Hyundai dealers do it off the main HQ website as it contains all of the info for ECU Nav Mapping, Android Auto software for current models etc. Will possibly need a dealer to do it for you, as there is a chance of rendering the head unit unusable & if it's an ECU issue, the car undriveable.

Sounds like the battery in the car could be flat. This usually always will prevent the central locking from activating, but it shouldn't affect the front door on the drivers side as you should be able to open that with the key only. If you can't, then it could end up being a tow to a Hyundai dealer.

Thanks the brother come round this morning and got a door open. Battery had collapsed so new battery and am all good and car is going.

had similar problem with 2013 i30 doors would not lock with remote & sometimes not even with key all I could do was start car again put in drive,put back to park turn off engine changed battery in remote no different after that car would lock after this problem I sold car as dealers not willing to fix.

Never had that problem. Take it to the Dealer.

I had much the same problem - the car stalled going around corners or starting off at traffic lights. The dealer replaced the computer chip - the problem fixed.

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your message, I'm a 6 ft tall woman and I can guarantee to you that it would be an extremely uncomfortable sleep as the seats do not fold down completely flat nor would the space be big enough. Hyundai have a i40 station wagon which is very similar to the i30 and would be a better fit for an impromptu camping situation.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Karl, sorry only had experience with hatch i30, my suggestion would be to visit a dealer and try one out for fit, l would suggest Elissa is correct.
Have a good look what's in the market Hyundai i40 wagon, i35, but maybe something bigger, like a falcon or commodore station wagon, there a huge range of vehicles out there, but think about what is its main purpose is for, and then what else you won't it to do, camping sleep in etc, good shopping, remember have a look at all costs, servicing, length of warranty etc.

Hi Robert and Elissa,
Thanks for the reply and info. Unfortunately the i40 wagon is a bit too expensive for what it is and for what I need.
I am now looking at a Subaru Outback or Forester, as well as considering a Falcon/Commodore wagon with LPG. Would prefer something that is reasonably small and fuel efficient, which was why I started looking at the small wagon market like the i30, Lancer and Corolla wagon models. However they all seem slightly too short to be suitable. We won't be camping out in it often, but it's definitely handy on those rare occasions when we do. Currently we have a Delica van which is great, but I want to downsize to something more economical and suitable for city driving.

Sounds a bit like a gear box issue that we had. Loss of reversing power when at an angle, like when coming out of the driveway. Took it Hyundai and they fixed it on warranty

Auto or manual

Could be the computer chip. I had the car stop going around a corner as low speed, and starting off at traffic lights.

It's an auto Andy

I don't know but I bought it for 23k.
