Re: My Hyundai Grand i10 Asta (O) Petrol. 1000Kms & Banged (Details on Page 5)

@Autowiz - 12 is really good efficiency in Bangalore. Which part of the city you drive in ? I am getting 10.5-11 kmpl in the Old Airport area . 60% driving is in 2nd gear and 30% in 3rd.

Also do you face any issues with car being noisy esp. in lower gears ? I think mine is a noisy cabin atleast in the 2nd gear .
my drive is usually from whitefield - kr puram - marathhalli - kadubhesanhalli and back

yes there is little grunt from engine in 2nd gear when RPM is lesser than ~1800.

Hi All..

Here are the latest pics of my car being repaired. Plan to get the underbody anti rust treatment when i take the delivery next week .

Have not thought of seat covers yet. Hard to find something that matches with this orange colour ... except for the original fabric which looks pretty cool :)

Hi all..
So many reports are coming related to battery issue in grand i10. You can check on Hyundai facebook page. I want to ask people have you experienced the same. Whosoever faced this problem had their car idle for 2 or more days.
Any views in this guys as I have to take delivery in 1-2 days.

I had to jump started it. Reported it during the service but the Hyundai guys said

@parth

It is an issue for sure then. A car battery is not supposed to get discharged within a week. Is it because of keyless entry as receiver needs to be activated all the time?
Did you think of removing fuse while keeping it idle? My father's Wagon R battery retained its charge even after 2 months?

It happends to me with my M800 as well with my Sparky also (only once). I had faced this problem a lot.

In case of M800, Mostly I used to take car in the evening. Assume I take my car after long gap (say a week or 10 days) it wont start. I will request my son and when he pushes it will get start. I happily go with AC and Head Light. Go to shop shutdown the car go for purchase and come back after some time start the car it wont start. Battery would n't have charged since i was using both AC and Head light (this is what told to me). I changed my battery and it was okie for some time and again the problem came. It was new battery. When I went for second time to change my battery, I explained the whole thing to the battery shop guy and he guided me to some electrician (Some how I miss him and no touch with him now) and he checked and told me that some problem with my alternator and battery is not being charged fully. Then he directly connected a wire from alternator to battery and that is it. I never had any problem after that.

In case of my sparky, there was time where there was some road work due to drainage break down so I could n't take my car out for more than 15 days and had this problem. Then I removed battery and gave it with battery shop and charged it for 15 hours. That is it. Till now no problem. Touch wood.

Yes the battery is not supposed to discharge within a week.
I was also told by the Hyundai guys to turn the fuse off when I have to park for longer durations.
But I didn't have to park it for so long since then.

However if there is a concern about grands battery charge we better be careful.
Can you give the link of Facebook, I could see only one guy having such problem in the FB page.

Sometimes I used to leave my old Santro for 7-8 weeks without touching it, and every time it used to start at the first attempt.

God knows whether the problem is sorted out in new batches or still there? This is the problems with new cars, it comes with several bugs. [frustration]

Is the battery discharge problem only with models having keyless start? my magna grand i10 was left idle for 5 days, but started as usual when i was back.

WE dont know the real reason yet,but the suspect is Keyless start.
We have to see hows the battery life in other Keyless start cars.

Something like normal phone and Android phone batteries[;)]
