Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

Vishak better get the car checked asap oil in the air intake system is a very bad sign and lots of oil is something that needs to be looked at, on a diesel engine if there is a constant oil leak into air intake the engine will start reviving terribly high and even if you turn the ignition of it wiill still keep runing this is known as runaway diesel engine and the only way to stop is to block the air intake or let the engine destroy itself.

.
Will get it checked soon
So far the has been behaving like old day

Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

Guys another damage happened to my car. Someone threw stone on rear windshield and glass got cracked. Whole glass is cracked. I want to know what is the price of rear windshield glass. Is it good idea if I get replaced it from open market shop rather than service centre. I enquired at service centre but they said to come on 8th Nov. Don't want to wait. Can I travel with glass cracked?

Sad to Hear that [cry]
Are you sure you get a rear glass with integrated defogger like the OEM one.
If your car is still under warranty local windshield with defogger might aid to your warranty being cut off

Soumen the fan is controlled by the temperature and the ecu. The maruti 800 and verna are fully different in engine managements. The fan will not start till the coolant goes beyond a specific temperature, when you turn the ignition of the fan will spin at a slower speed for a few seconds and then switch of if the ecu demands it.
Hi Nick, thanks for your feedback. Do you mean after a long run and if I stop the ignition or engine the fan will keep running for few seconds? After I stop the engine each time I didn’t hear any fan running noise, that is why I’m concerned.

Yes maruti 800 and verna are fully different but if the engine gets hotter it must be cool down even after turning off the engine. In verna the cooler may keep down the engine at a temperature that after turning off the engine the cooling fan is not require, this is what I thought. Thanks

Soumen i still cannot try to give you a better explanation but rest assured the ecu knows whats best for the engine, usually the temperatures do not go so high up. I had driven a maruti 800 for a week it was the carburetor ones, the temperature would stay between cold and middle. If the ac was switched on the gauge would rise, otherwise it would be as said before. In modern cars the gauge hardly ever moves but if you notice it will quickly go in the middle and stay there no matter what driving conditions. So as you can see the ecu is already maintaining optimum engine temperatures.

Thanks nick, I don’t know much about ecu. I just needed to know after turning off the engine do I need to put the key on, and I got the answer. And my bad I never checked the engine temperature gauge stratus.

I knew if the fan would start, it should start by itself so I kept the key on for sometime and when no move, I removed it. The reason I asked last time I parked the car into our garage and even after 5 hours when I went to check I still could feel the engine was worm without touching the car or holding my had few cm away from the bonnet.

BTW once I’ve seen you have a broken from bumper. Did you replace that? if so then how much it was cost? And if ever I get a new bumper, these comes from the factory painted or the service station paint it according to the car color?

Re: Hyundai Fluidic Verna VTVT SX (O) 2 Years and 30,000 Kms

Another issue: few days back I saw a water bottle laying down at the back foot area and later I found one side of the leg area back side was completely wet. Its a bad option at rear no bottle holder. The water dropped so much that if I put my hand my had gets wet. Then I leave it with the window open for 4-5 days to let it evaporate by itself but even after that it was same. Then I tried with a dry cloth and push it into the floor mat (existing with the car, I removed the installed one) and extract lots of water. Then keep it going. When pushing it beneath I felt there was a cousin type thing under the floor carpet which soak all the water. Even after lots of time doing this by a dry cloth there was still water which I can feel by hand. Then I started drying it by a hair drier. And did it for 2 days ( few hours a day) but still its not completely dried.

My question is: if the inner cushion type stuff get wet this way and laid down for many days, could it make any damages like rusting etc? I didn’t get any way to remove the floor stock carpet. Please advice.

soumen, no need to follow that practice these days, if its a diesel engine with turbo charger then idle for a few seconds then shut down for petrol engines not needed, doesnt harm to let it idle for a few seconds either.
I guess those cushions are for noise and heat insulation. The only option is to keep the car with its windows slightly open so it evaporates on its own. I doubt there will be any rusting issues, this issue occurs if there is constant water and a scratch through the paint exposing the bare metal.

ok thanks, mine is a petrol one. If I hard accelerate at the time of parking only then I keep it idle for few seconds. and how about this?

sorry i had forgot to write it in my previous post.
Well the bumper costs around 1000-1500 bucks with out painting. The paint charges depend on the color of your car for guys with white color they paid 4500. For my color as it is metallic I paid 6500 as well as 1500 for the fog lamp.

Ok, thanks for your input. Really? The bumper itself cost way to less. I heard somewhere Ford cars bumpers costs around 4k excluding paintings. However the bumper cost is less but the painting job looks way too much.

Just another question: does the later installed bumper quality, fittings and the paint quality are same as the stock one? I think the factory paints should be way to good than a service center paintings.

I was quoted 4K for painting the bumper carbon grey from ASC [;)]

That sounds fine. You just got the quote or get it done? if you did then does the later installed bumper quality, fittings and the paint quality are same as the stock one?

As i said before my service center has cheated me in all ways possible. Correction my dad its his money. / maybe rates differ based on location and service center.
Well the service centers paint quality is as good as factory it has the same gloss and finish which i found the other paint shops which charge less do not give.
Bumper quality is as fragile as the one given at factory. It will pop of the side with slightest of pressure like when you very slowly at snails speed touch the kerb, or will break when impacted at 10km/h+

Yes exactly, few service centers are real thief but also I’ve also seen few good service centers and really good service guys, not for car, for my bike few years back. And its all depends on the showroom/dealer reputation. Good to hear about the paint quality.

About the bumper quality I mean its fittings, few people said after installing a bumper from service center they found gaps above the headlight etc. Its like if its shape is proper.

Like you said when I was cleaning and rubbing a cloth at one side of the bumper and by my firm palm pressure it popped in. The bumper quality is really cheap like its cost. Hyundai should offer one Free bumper with each Verna, as most of the buyer have to have replace it at least once.
