New Hyundai Elantra SX | 3rd Service Update | 13,500 Kms: Ownership Review

[deville_56]

I haven't used them. What do you suggest for my car ?

Initial experience was silent and comfortable. Yet to test their performance.

I will surely get a quote for the continental UC6. I am getting the Yokohama earth 1 for 7100rs. If the difference is not much and my tyre guy arranges the same I will get UC6.
Uploading conditions of the pathetic stock tyres.

Yokohama earth 1 on my verna too are more than 5 years old and still the condition is nowhere near the Elantra's. It's far better.

Also I am getting something done on my verna which will reduce the Elantra's usage so hope UC6 doesn't deteriorate because of less usage.

So Much Cracks on the tyres. whether this is the same situation for all 4?

Fitted for Friends Punto and Scross with Continental MC5. Really its not good for this both cars. For Punto, its now around 20000 after tyre change and lot of tyre noise.
CC5 in my Innova is good and not sure about UC6.

Yes it's on all the tyres. For the past month I observed the cabin to be louder than normal. And after the puncture I checked all the tyres , all in similar condition.
I did search on YT , uc6 has good reviews. If the difference between the two is not much, I have no problem in trying something new.

Had a plan to go outstation tomorrow so decided to change all the tyres.

Got Yokohama earth 1 for 7150rs per tyre 205/60/R16.

I always get the brake pads checked whenever tyres are out for some reason. And the brake pads were out of life. Sadly couldn't get the pads for this car in this car market. Main market kashmeri gate is closed on Sunday.

Rear pads are good.

Anyways have to take brezza now with full load

 

[allhyundaicars]

Got the brake pads changed. Dad's friend deals in the kashmeri gate market.
Imported brake pads costed 2300rs as against the original 5300rs in Hyundai packaging.

Got the service done today.
Engine oil - 1900 rupees.
Oil filter - 200 rupees.
Air filter - 600 rupees.
Labor- 300 rupees.

Got the engine oil from a reputed petrol pump and the parts from dad's friend. Since I asked for 4 liter, dad's friend got mobil 10w40 mineral engine oil which I returned.

Odo attached. I haven't got the injectors or even throttle body cleaned. Does the additives available at petrol pump do anything?

they don’t do much, however you can try using some additives that have P.E.A like gumout or chevron it will be labelled on the bottle, it would be more better to manually clean the injectors by removing them, won’t cost more I believe Hyundai charged me 400 for cleaning. However where ever you decide to do this make sure that the orings are available as some of them may be flat and reinstalling may cause leaks most likely it may be fine but just to be on safer side and car not stranded

Somehow the lower bumper part got dislodged and now I am struggling to find the part at a reasonable price.

It's easy to buy these D segment sedans but very difficult to get body parts at reasonable prices. Eg: passenger side window costed me the same as my verna's windshield.

I found the part at boodmo but also confirmed the price from the service center.  will have to try second hand parts market.

I think getting the part from a second-hand parts dealer would be easier and cheaper than relying on Hyundai or Boodmo. But I am not sure if they'll have this part as a separate one as compared to the whole rear bumper as a single piece.

 

[allhyundaicars]

This is not a priority so I am just leaving it like that. The only purpose of that black part was to hide the exhaust system and I have seen companies not giving this part in their respective cars.

Service is overdue by 1 month again. Car was driven 7k kms since the last service.

Another peculiar thing happened today.
Ac didn't work for a good 5 minutes and it suddenly started blowing cool air even with Ac turned off and blower on. After this AC is working again.

I haven't noticed this behaviour in any other car, with ac turned off and blower on it will throw cool air after 5-7 minites and will disengage the AC recirculation mode and turn on external air mode for some reason.
