2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[bratski]

*bonnadictus, to give you a heads up
stock ecu firmware- confirmed majority may engine knock

Euro version 1-addresses knocking issue but causes very low power.

Euro2- in between stock programming and version 1. May sometimes cause slight knocking on poor grade fuel. Power is a little but less than standard program but knocks less or none at all.

Euro 3-tsismis palang

Euro4- ginagago ka na ng sales rep mo.

Ako iisa nalang issue ko. Malakas sa gas. Talaga yatang hanggang 6km/l nalang ito city driving. nagpa fillup ako ng petron unleaded and looks like bababa pa lalu average fc ko. Mukhang mag 5plus km/l lang ako dito.if based sa trip computer.

Automatic yang 1.4 accent mo?

[elkarera]

Accent m/t FC ko sa city driving 10-12km/l and 14km/l sa highway. napansin ko shifting in lower rpm (less 2k rpm) make fc less
try mo bro wag masyado mataas rpm bago mag shift kung dimo naman need umarangkada kagad ok na ang 1,200-1,700rpm then shift gear IMHO

naku i feel you bratski .. yung sa akin naka euro 2 tapos ito low power na naman .. super premium na yung pinapakarga ko pero parang hirap cya lalo na kapag mabagal .. 5-7 km/L ang city driving ko .. brought it sa casa sabi nila mag self check muna ko tapos ibalik ko ..

*tomboy,
Yes a/t yung akin
*elkarera
Kahit a/t unit ko i shift between 1,700-2k rpm. Hindi ako aggressive driver. ang problem lang yung route ko. Matraffic sobra. And i travel very short routes daily, around 8kms balikan na

Grabe yung purwesiyo binigay sayo ng accent na yan. Kahit ako wala accent naiinis sa naexperience mo. Matipid pa yung 1.8 Civic FD automatic using petron unleaded.

Maselan pa sa gas yang accent gusto pa blaze petron.

Nakakita ako ng 1.6 accent nagandahan ako kaso automatic lang pala meron. Ayaw na ata ng pinoy mag manual trans.

Tama ba yung 1.6 accent ang wala problem?

guys, may nadiscover ako sa driving habit ng accent. i think this is the delay/timing problem.
you need to late release the clutch pedal after you manual stick to rev up the engine on 1st and 2nd gear. kung baga timpla timpla with gas before you press the gas fully.

napansin ko din yan pre mukhang di ok yung self adjusted clutch ng accent. sa 1st and 2nd gear kailangan mo muna magtaas ng rpm kung hindi totope ang makina lalo na kung uphill.

[betski21]

please dont be upset. i have accent too. para saken lang naman this car is such a failure. wag na sana tayo magbolahan sa mga kotse natin.the company must admit kailangan na talaga ng recall. its been more than a year when they release the all new hyundai accent and yet still no long term solution for the engine knocking problem.low power,high fuel consumption.kung pwede lang i suggest sana i change engine na lang from 1.4 to 1.6.

pasensya na kayo guys i can only say this para naman matauhan ang hyundai and HARI na gumawa ng rearrangement tungkol sa problema natin sa kanila... peace..

[erj22]

yan ang advantage ng manual tranny.

i use shell unleaded so far so good never try though the premium and v-power

Kahit a/t unit ko i shift between 1,700-2k rpm. Hindi ako aggressive driver. ang problem lang yung route ko. Matraffic sobra. And i travel very short routes daily, around 8kms balikan na

pag sobra traffic mga 9kl/l siguro worse fc ko. usually i never stay in 1st gear in a traffic pag alam kong kaya ng ipasok ng 2nd gear pinapasok kona. iba kasi free whelling ng higher gearing, malayo na matatakbo mo in idle mode pero pag primera matigas manakbo in idle mapapa taas ka ng rev para umusad talaga.

[bratski]

Hayy goodluck in doing that here sa Pilipinas. Kung simpleng parts lang na papalitan hindi na magawa recall pa kaya. Suggestion ko sa mga namomroblema sa units nila, kailangan brasuhin nyo yung dealer nyo na palitan ang ecu at upgrade sa euro2. Ang original ecu can only be upgraded once. Pag na upgrade na sa euro1 then upgrade uli sa euro 2 magkaka leche leche makina nyo. Dapat stock programming then euro 2 agad. It solved my almost yearlong problem ng knocking and low power.
Pero easier said than done yung pag replace ng ecu dahil dadaan kayo sa butas ng karayom bago mapalitan yan.

i wonder kung yung mga models ngaun ay walang mga engine problem (knock) porma pa man din ng accent..planning to buy one kaso nag dadalawang isip nako..first car ko to, ayaw ko naman na mag ka problema agad

[Cicis]

same boat tayo sir. kaso ako nakabili na at ineenjoy si accent.

[sayuri]

my 1.6 accent is almost two months now, kilometer reading is under 1700kms. i don't have any problems with gas consumption. neither engine knock. what bothers me is, the blower of the A/C. it changes speed. biglang lalakas or biglang hihina. another issue for me is when all accessories are on, (headlights, radio, A/C), when you turn your signal light, the whole instrument panel lights will also blink slightly.

siguro bago sila magpasok ng mga mga bagong model ng kotse, ayusin muna nila yung mga issues ng mga kotse nila.

i have my accent 1.4 mt, so far so good pa naman. 10days old na sakin mula ng nailabas ng casa. malapit na din ako mag 1k sa odo, hehe..

I called a Hyundai dealer at pasig today, asked about the knocking issue, if ever I buy one, and "knocking" happens, they would replace the ECU, (no questions asked daw). and as of January they had no complaints regarding this issue, he also stated that they've already changed the ECU's of new Accents.

[jdolor]

I visited the dealer earlier today, they are not going to replace the ECU pala, they're just gonna re-program it... Are there any other problems that may arise after re-programming?
