Just bring it to any Hyundai casa. Before palitan CVVT mo for sure dadaan ka muna sa "Compulsory Primary Procedure" (ECU updates, karga ka lang dapat ng Shell 97 octane gas, ECU replacement, etc...) tapos pag hindi ka na mapaikot at nagbanta ka na ng lawsuit or DTI complaint (and also kasama na after around 20,000 kms of religious PMS) ay tsaka palang isa-suggest CVVT replacement.

U.S. Hyundai Car Owners also discovered another defect:

Just saw an advertisement sa newspaper. Yung 2013 accent ay magiging 1.4L Kappa engine na.

Yes. Kappa engine and 6 speed manual. Slightly lower outputs than current Gamma engines.

I guess this solve all the engine problems of the Accent. Better late than never.

Hopefully. The Kappa engine in the i10 is good when mated to a manual transmission.

It's not yet a solution until someone posts here that they went to the dealership, opted to claim CVVT replacement and had it replaced with no questions asked. Malamang sa malamang mga pumunta ng casa after mabasa 'to eh katakot-takot na "pre-check, re-program ECU, clean spark plugs, return unit to dealership if knocking occurs again" na paulit-ulit na recommendation pa ang ibabato ng mga Service Advisor hanggang mag-threat ka pa na ire-report mo sila sa DTI.

To whoever gets their CVVT warranty claimed easily post it here and let us know how you did it though, tired of having to role-play Mr. Irate Customer just to get things done with these HARI-affiliated/related/driven dealerships.
