2011 Accent AT - Engine Knock!

[Boggsy]

Hopefully next weekend 1st pms ko, but i'll try sa Laspinas (I heard good feedbacks dun). I'll be bringing my own oil since may supply pa kasi ako ng Shell fully synthetic. I still have extra 3pcs (1 liter each). Baka may interested, i'll give it discounted.
Planning to go Fully din 1st PMS, then tune up/change filter for 5k PMS, then change oil na uli at 10k and succeeding 10k intervals.

O mga ka accent, ano na update?

Jayrb, still knocking parin yung sayo? Balak ko this week punta ako sa greenhills para magpa update

[jayvel]

update ko lang ha, as of now okay naman hatak ng accent ko, parang nung unang labas from the dealer. Minsan talaga inoobserbahan ko maigi ang sound w aircon and radio off, wala na ko napansin na tikatik na sound, ewan ko lang pag medyo mahaba byahe at mainit ha. Pero if ever lang, wag naman sana, believe me, mas nakakainis yung low power kaysa sa engine knock na estado ng accent. Kung malapit lang tayo bratski, im willing to have you try my accent para rin masigurado ko na wala ng knocking sound. Still using shell unleaded 1500 na pinakarga ko sa tuwa ko pagkatapos ng update. If ever sa banawe area ka bratski from 8-11 am malapit lang ako sa area na yan.

Sana good news na yan. Update us sir.

It may be true, Hyundai Shaw offered me (a few hours ago) the latest ECU update from Hyundai Korea which is most likely be available by Thursday this week. However, I said no because Im not encountering any problems.

[callmenadz]

muka nga talagang merun nang bagong version yung ecu natin. sana ito na ang makaka solve sa low power and engine knock issue natin para oks na oks na sakyan yung accent natin. more update guys dun sa mga mag papaupdate nang ecu nila

[erj22]

may na offeran ng ECU update from Hyundai Alabang. so far so good daw. nasa Hyundai Accent thread sa FB

[LtAK]

I got my version 2 ECU upgrade, they called me up around 4:30 informing me that version 2 ECU upgrade is already available. They persuaded me to upgrade it because of the clutch dragging and this alone would remedy the dragging issue, I told them of the knocking issue from reviews, they told me that was the previous version and this one was the latest so I decided to go for it. So far I'm happy with the update and the acceleration is significantly much better & smoother than before, no more dragging and it's now comparable to an 04 1.6 Altis. Before it's like driving an XL with a twist...

As I was traversing EDSA this last night, low and behold I saw this Ford Fiesta with a signage at the back and it says "I REGRET OF BUYING THIS VEHICLE!!"

seryoso ito lTAk? Ano ba issue ng ford fiesta?

[LtAK]

I really dont know the issues of the Ford Fiesta. Together with my brod in law and my sister, we saw this car at EDSA North bound with the signage at the rear window in bold letters.

Maybe Mr. Everest has finally bought a new Ford again... probably couldn't find anything to replace the "Lemon" BMW motorcycle that "mysteriously" burned to the ground.

aba, ok na nga po kaya ang engine knock issue? Correct me po if I'm wrong, ECU update, meaning software update po
yung inapply or inaayos to fix the engine knock? Meaning, no mechanical or hardware issues/replacement po sa car?

yung pang 50% downpayment ko kasi sa Accent, ibibili ko na bukas ng used Mazda 3 (lagot gumulo nanaman isip ko!)
pero kung sure na ok na si Accent, go ako sa Accent 1.4 AT.

ECU update is software related, no mechanical fix whatsoever.

Di ba sa on Mega Factories episodes ng NatGeo, talagang napaka extensive nong rain/water test ng halos lahat na car manufacturers...

Napakasayang naman ng fiesta. Ang ganda pa naman. Hehehehe, my wife is joking pa naman na ibenta niya 'yong '09 City namin to get that 1.6 SS Fiesta.. She was so inlove with my cousin's blue Fiesta...

[andretti]

Wag na natin pag-usapan ang fiesta dito peeps, Accent thread to....
Like what have been said over and over again, all cars have defects...

As for the knocking issue, hopefully this is it... pa-update ko na din kaya yung akin kahit na alang issue, ganda kasi ng comments ni sir LtaK...

[bratski]
