Walang kwenta. Rubbish.

Shell products talaga.

talaga? hehe good thing i never tried that. the only reason why i used to fill up with caltex before is their tie up with HSBC (may 3% rebate monthly), pero lugi ka rin kasi walang kwenta talaga gasolina nila.

shell and petron lang ako, but mas ok for me yung petron kasi better mileage plus may bdo rewards pa. hehe

With this kind of car (many would say a base model car ), we the owners are hoping that Hyundai will fix the problem. Ang problema lang dito is, it is the engine that is affected, kaya maraming umaangal. Kung fog lights, plate holder or any dashboard quirks baka palagpasin ko pa yan sa pag angal sa Hyundai, pero please wag naman engine.

I am hoping actually that this is something minor, para as you have said i can embrace the Live with it motto.

Before getting the our Fiesta, I10 was one of our candidates.

In Hyundai Pampanga, the SA had us wait around for 1 hour despite setting an appointment the day before and confirmation the morning of the day. My degree yata sa medicine yung I10 nila kaya mahaba waiting time.

This is for a simple test drive. Ano pa kaya pag after sales na?

Nabanas na kami at nilayasan na namin.

I'm sure you got better treatment kaya natuloy and Accent mo. To each his own, 'ika nga. Siguro para sa Fiesta kami.

Anyway, wala naman yata knock yung engine mo. It might be beneficial to the forum kung anong brand, fuel type and location of gas station you use. At least yung mga taga Pampanga w/ Accent pwede ka nila gayahin.

Logically, if the fuel is the problem, dapat yung sa yo meron din knock.

Yup i got bad reviews also from Hyundai Pampanga, kaya napunta ako sa Balintawak, regarding sa last statement mo, isn't it the other way around?

Logically, if the engine is the problem, dapat yung sa yo meron din knock? Since Hyundai initially is blaming the quality of our fuels sa Pinas...

Ok naman unit ko since as advised here, I have been using shell fuels from the start...

i think i have that sound, but is quiet enough to hear it while driving. or maybe it's not that kind of "knocking" sound, i'm not sure.

patay! puro petron pa naman pagas ko.. kaka pa fulltank ko pa lang ng xcs kagabi.. mas mahal lang siya sa unleaded ng 0.75 eh.. hindi ko pa nalalabas yung kotse today.. at around 300km pa lang yung accent ko..
ano naba sabi ng hyundai about this..

**caster** · May 6th, 2011 12:59 AM

ah yari ka obet! kung ako sayo, pag narinig mong kumatok makina mo, papasukin mo na sa pinto para hindi na kumatok ng mas malakas pa. haha!

pero seriously bro, for the few who posted about this matter, i can only assume there are others out there who experienced the same.

My bad! I made the assumption that you used low octane fuel not of the Shell brand. If you did, your engine is fine and the TS's engine has a problem unique to him only.

He also posted that Shell lessened the knock.

Now going to the engine, If it will only accept branded fuel of higher octane to operate normally, while other engines of the same class (entry level, economy) I can only speak for the new Fiesta and my old clunker City 2002, (ewan ko sa Vios) is the engine then properly designed for local conditions?

Lets put it to an analogy: Ten people eat the same 5 dishes at the same time. One gets a bad tummy, is the food bad or does the one guy have a "picky" stomach?

Now accepting that the Accent is "picky" with its fuel, we come to the "Live with it" motto. If one cannot live with it, benta na lang or soli sa dealer.

If this is a fact, Hyundai should state it clearly so that future buyers may have the proper information before "marrying" the Accent.

Parang hindi yata equivalent yung degraded performance na nasa manual sa "katok".

Please share with us the feeling of being limited to a single brand and higher octane. Was this what you understood and expected before buying the Accent?

I guess it still works to not buy a car on its maiden year. Palabasin mo muna lahat ng issues. Ang ganda lang kasi talaga nga appeal ng Accent. Sayang. Antay mode muna kami. I guess 3 cases out of only a few sold units still out there is a little bothering.
