2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[bratski]

Racer na racer a... anyways, the minimum allowable for you to shift to a higher gear is somewhere around the following figures:
1st gear - default
2nd gear - even at 0 km/hr pwede (bug I think?)
3rd gear - after 20 km/hr
4th gear - after around 55 km/hr

I know the minimum because it appears to be more economical (don't take my word for it though) fuel consumption wise to shift to manual mode. For overtaking, I find DRIVE mode sufficient enough. If hindi pa naman nagre-redline diyan sa 2nd gear pa rin at 60-80 km/hr at past break-in period ka na it should be safe.

Pwede talaga mag shift sa 2nd kahit 0kph to assist start up in slippery surfaces. Reason kasi dyan is 2nd gear has less torque than 1st kaya lesser wheel spin pag madulas ang daan. I think all matics with manual mode pwede may ganyang feature. Sa starex ko now and city before pwede talaga sa 2 kahit not moving. Ang maganda sa hyundai bumabalik sa 1 pag full stop. Sa city hindi, hanggang 2 lang siya and kailangan mo pang ilagay sa 1

Interesting and enlightening. Iyong iba kasi naming units may ibang mode for that particular scenario (either D+, 2, DS,). Thanks bratski.

I think most manumatics wouldn't allow down-shifts or up-shifts when the RPM is too low and may cause the engine to stall. That's my experience with our vehicles with manual overrides anyways.

Just remembered: regarding the sudden jerk on U-turns, di ko pa nae-experience while making the U-turn, but I did experience it during an overtake. If you step on the accelerator too hard the car seems to down-shift aggressively, making that sudden shift shock (aka iyong jerking na na-mention before). Wa-poise nga, pero it can be circumvented by going manual, or just learning to overtake without being too abusive on the pedal.

Safety-wise, na-intrigue din ako as to why you'd suddenly step heavy on the accelerator while making a U-turn. While on the apex of the turn, especially that of a U-turn, would it really be natural to step heavy on the gas? Don't get me wrong, hindi ko kasi gawain iyon (nakakahilo pati sa mga pasahero), but common practice ba sa iba 'to? If so, I guess mas accident-prone iyong practice over the car's behavior in itself.

Medyo may kulang lang akong tinype regarding that uturn na nag jerk, nung diniinan ko na ang apak sa accelerator i was already done negotiating the u turn, diretso na front wheels ko nun and i needed quick acceleration para makauna sa mga incoming vehicles kasi i will be making a right turn sa next street. Nasa 2nd gear ako that time and travelling about 20kph. Kaya ko inapakan para mag downshift at para humatak, yun nga lang nagkaron ng lull na parang nag neutral muna siya sabay biglang sipa ng primera. Kaya ko nasabing nag neutral kasi tumaas rpm ko hanggang 3k pero no corresponding forward movement. As in nasa 20kph ako nun parang coasting lang pero tumaas rpm.

So ano ba mas ok na gawin at economical? change my windshield tint? modify headlight? or pa laser ko na lang mata ko! pero seriously what mods can i do with my headlights ung abot kaya lang sana? Thanks!

Hyundai has generally weak headlights...we had to modify the horn and headlights of the Tucson...umabot ata ng 14k additional.

thanks for the info po.

yung 60-80 sa 2nd gear mga 4000-5000 rpm lang naman so ok lang yon?. kakabili lang nang unit namin nun july 7 dinala sa manaog kahapon para mapa bless kaya medyo natesting na din sa takbuhan.

anyway any accent user here na ang gas ay super premium // gold ?
sabi kase nang dealer ko mas ok daw unleaded kaya sa premium for accent? pero parang mas feel ko yung premium kase mas mahal nang piso ? lol


and last question

yung engine knocking sounds po ba kapag dinidiinan maririning habang rumekrekta sya na 50-100?

Why does it have to be 14K?

Nagpa-HID ka?

Ihataw mo na habang break-in pa. Para masanay agad yung makina tsaka di mahirapan humataw near future.. hehe

yup...not sure kung tama nga ginawa ko...

Ayun lang... ba't kasi ultimo casa nagpopromote ng HID's na hindi naka-projector ang headlights ng sasakyan. *Fredericko try mo chief i-on yung headlights mo at night (non-inclined road), then labas ka ng sasakyan and try to distance enough from the car, mimic the height of an incoming car, and check kung hindi ka masisilaw. Kung masilaw ka, I'd advise you return sa casa at ipa-align mo yung headlights pababa to lessen the glare. Counter-productive ang mangyayari niyan gawa ng mas maiksi na bato ng ilaw to compensate, pero at least you'd be (hopefully) Goon Squad safe.
