1. Whichever is earlier
2. I don't think this car came with auto locking doors. Maybe it has been installed aftermarket on your car.
3. This is a known issue and happens at random in Gi10 and Xcent. Also don't be surprised if your steering is surprisingly loose on some days

Can we install an Android Auto touch screen Head unit (from 2019 Grand i10) in an older car with factory fitted head unit like the one on the first page of this thread?

I seem to have narrowed down both these issues of random trip meter reset and speed sensing locks to a certain event.

At times when I pressed the ignition button, there would be a half start as if there was an interruption in the ignition and I would have to press the ignition again. I found that in this case the trip meter reset on its own and the speed sensing locks started to work! I felt as if the battery was getting old since it was manufactured in 2016.

I have replaced the battery of the car with a relatively new battery (35A) from another car at home. It is too early to say anything about the trip meter resets since I have only driven it for ~8kms, but I shall update if the issue gets resolved. As for the speed sensing locks, they still don't work.

Further, I have a question w.r.t. the temperature knob of the AC. It does not go all the way to the extreme end of the cooling part, is it an easy fix?

I think this is another glitch with this car. In my car too, the knob becomes tight towards the extreme heating side. I've always felt the temperature is either extreme cold or extreme hot. Nothing in between.

That stupid AC rotary knob problem is there in my 2013 car too - rotating it fully towards heating is impossible. Its amazing how a company like Hyundai even launched the car with such a defect. They should fix this issue for all cars when they go for servicing.

In other news, some low life decide to key my freshly painted car with a vengeance.


See the attached images.



I don't get people sometimes. What is the best way to resolve this? A friend suggested I get the black protector tape on the B pillars. And the door scratches can probably be rubbed down? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The trip meter reset issue seems to have been resolved with the battery change.

I checked the mileage and I'm getting around ~14.x kmpl.

In my case it is impossible to move the knob towards the extreme end of the cooling side.

I found this video online that shows the solution to the issue -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLn52ixX0fo

Apparently this part needs to be replaced - https://boodmo.com/catalog/part-door...ature-6661008/

BUT, for that the whole dashboard needs to be dismantled and it does not look like a straight forward job. Will have to take out some time for it.

It'd be great to hear from other users on how they have resolved this issue.

I got my AC serviced for the summer, got the condenser and radiator cleaned along with the air filter and had the gas topped up. The FNG guy pointed out that the compressor was making some whirring noise and according to him it might go kaput anytime in the future. He quoted a cool 20k to get the compressor and condenser replaced.

Can anyone think of any other cause of this sound?

If it is the compressor, has anyone got the compressor replaced on their car? How much did it cost?

He further disconnected the cable for the temperature knob after turning it all the way towards the highest level on the cooling point and suggested to get the inside part replaced when he opens the dash board. So that's for another day..

I have a question regarding the remote key, if the battery of the key fob runs out while we're somewhere outside, is there a way to start the car? There is a key hole for opening the door.

I had watched a video where it showed that you need to make contact between the key and the push start button, but when I tried to leave the remote behind and only use the key to open the door, it set off the alarms and I could not start the car.

Further, I could not find relevant information in the manual.

I cannot figure out what to do in such an event, don't want to be caught unaware.

Sibot, if your car has a smart key fob then there has to be a key in the key fob. You can use that to open the door. But make sure the smart key fob is on person with you. Without that the alarms will go off.

Also to start the car, the key needs to go back into the fob, press the start stop button with the key fob.

Hi,
Thank you for replying. So even if the battery of the smart key has run out, this would work?

Thank you for clarifying! I made the mistake of leaving the smart key fob behind and only using the key since the battery was still functional.

Sibot,

This should work.

I have a question about the rear hatch door lock. My car is 2 years old. From day 1, the rear door does not lock properly. I have to try multiple times for it to lock securely (as indicated by the yellow rear door ajar indicator on the dashboard). There is a squeaking noise from the rear door latch even on reasonably good roads.

I have mentioned this multiple times during my service visits. They apply some tape to the latch and move on. The squeaking got so bad that on one fine morning, I drove straight to the SVC and gave them a piece of my mind. They took the car to be body shop and returned the car back after 2 hours. I was told that the alignment of the hook and latch was not proper and that they have adjusted that for me. The car was fine for 2 months or so and the issue resurfaced during lockdown. I got the vehicle serviced at my native place (same dealer network, different state) and complained again. As usual, more tape was applied. Things got so bad that I have to literally throw the door to get it to close. I tried to get them to fix it, but they were like - you should apply some force to close the door. I tried to talk some sense, but did not work. I gave up, removed all the tape and took the car home. The car is back to it’s “squeaky mouse trapped in the rear” state.

I need your inputs here. Should I write to Hyundai about this? If I do, it would be forwarded to the last dealer who worked on the car. I however, want to take this up with the dealership that sold the car (their SVC). Will this be covered under warranty? I am thinking about asking the dealership to change the hatch and lock assembly under warranty. If they deny, I plan to get Hyundai involved. Any thoughts guys? Currently I am not willing to spend time at public places due to the pandemic.

I too had the noise issue soon after first free service and the Service Centre people applied some grease on the latch and it was gone. They said grease would've been wiped off after the car wash.

But have to struggle with the door closing issue. Have done multiple step ins and outs of the car because of this.

Skeptical to take it to the Service Centre. Guess, will have to live with it unless it becomes an irritant.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try if lubricating the latch and hook with grease works in my case.

On a side note, I am in touch with the SA regarding the issue. I have requested him to get this replaced under warranty and see it the issue goes away. I have no hope though. It has been 2 days and the SA is still giving me excuse after excuse. As a stop gap measure, I will get it lubricated and see how it goes. If the issue still persists, I will have to take this up with Hyundai.

Probably not the correct thread, but still, here goes nothing..

My query pertains to need for a good Hyundai Service Centre in Delhi. I live in South Delhi. I own a 2016 Grand i10 Asta(O). The running in more than 4 years is around 20-21K Kms. It's a secondary car.

I'm aware that there's already a thread (Decent Hyundai Service Centre in Delhi/NCR) in the forum for this purpose. But looking at the last date of post as well as the outdated content, the thread seems as good as dead.

Yesterday, I went to renew PUC for my car, but the test failed with reason cited by the technician that the engine RPM's are not stable & Lambda value is elevated/more. The reason he stated was either an overdue vehicle service and/or vehicle not used for a long time. Well, he was correct for both the reasons cited.

I got my vehicle serviced 2 years ago at 13K Kms (3rd & last free service). And due to Covid-19 lockdown, the vehicle has been taken on road barely 10 times since March 2020. Regarding overdue vehicle service, like I mentioned earlier, the ODO's still at around 20-21K Kms since it's a secondary car and not much used. So around 7-8K running in more than 2 years.

Earlier, I used to get my Grand i10 serviced at Plaza Hyundai, Mathura Road, Delhi. Their service was nothing to boast about, but they used to get the job done. But apparently, the service centre shut down last year.

So I had a look at Hyundai India's service booking page and there were a few new Service Centres.

Being a novice about such stuff, I would like to know from my fellow BHPians where should I get my vehicle serviced, preferably in South Delhi itself. Safdarjung Service Station & Gymkhana Service Station are nearest to my residence, but don't know about their service.

Moreover, I would like to know about the unstable RPM's as well as elevated Lambda values and whether I should be concerned about them.

Would really like some guidance. Thanks.
