Hyundai ACCENT Hatch CRDI 1.6

If I may ask sir bakit may spark plugs? The diesel engine does not have spark plugs. Di mo kailangan mga to sir:

Wheel Balancing
Rust proofing

Engine Flush
Injector cleaner
HFT engine additives
HFT windshield washer

Windshield washer fluid kahit tubig lang pwede na.

Thanks po sa info! Hmm sige po matanong ko na din sa kasa yung about sa spark plugs. Baguhan pa kasi ako kaya hindi ako sigurado sa mga nilalagay nila. Major maintenance daw kasi ang 20k.

Yes sir kasi walang spark plugs yung Diesel engine. Unless yours is the gas variant which I doubt since you were quoted 6 Liters of oil. By the way, yung 6 Liters sir sobra yun. The engine can only take 5.3 Liters. Make sure hingin nyo yung sobra para meron kayo pandagdag. Sayang din yun. Let the SA know na alam ninyo na 5.3 liters lang ang kailangan ng engine.

Ah ganun ba. Medyo questionable yung ibang nilalagay nila sa quote. Salamat uli ng madami. Post ako update sa weekend after ko pa maintenance.

you have to scrutinize these lists. lulusot ang mga yan kung hindi kikilatisin o qu-questionin.

Bad news para sa Hyundai accent owners. In cebu, a speeding Hyundai sedan carrying 5 people crossed the center barrier and hit a truck coming from the opposite traffic direction. This highway has a speed limit of only 60kph. All 5 people are dead and the car is beyond recognizable. Lack of abs plus steering problems associated with hyundais rack and pinion might have contributed to this tragedy. Check your cars always...

As you put it, the car was full & speeding. Any car, irregardless of the brand risks an accident if it were speeding. Add a full cabin to the mix & you'd have an unbalanced car, which increases the risks of an accident. Unless there was an accident report indicating a vehicle malfunction, looks to me like the accident was caused by driver error.

Hi sa mga accent hb owners! Just received a quotation for our 20k maintenance. Medyo malaki ang quote ng kasa pero ito yung gusto nila ayusin sa tingin niyo po ba required lahat ito during 20k? I'm doubting the rust proofing part. All in all ang damage is around 24k php.

Parts:
Oil filter
Air filter A/C
Air filter Engine
Spark plugs - price not indicated but was marked.
Fuel filter
Water Sedimentor
Wheel Balancing
Rust proofing

Materials:
Engine oil semi 6L
Brake anti squeal
Engine Flush
Injector cleaner
Silicon spray
HFT coolant
HFT engine additives
HFT windshield washer
Misc materials - almost 1k to o_O!

You don't need the balancing, rust proofing option mo. Don't get the engine additive( needed lang yun if you run out of oil. Wag na run windshield washer

Yup dami ko talagang tanong sa kanila nyan sa weekend.

Thanks for this. Will keep this in mind.

Good thing to ask first. Salamat sa mga tsikoteers na walang sawa magbigay ng advice.

Mga bossing question lang, kelan pala kelangan ipa-wheel balancing at rust proof yung sasakyan natin? Madalas kami dumaan sa coastal/cavitex so im thinking magpa-rust proof ako sa 20k pms ko

[bloowolf]

Although may warranty ang Hyundai sa kalawang, pina rust proofing ko na rin kasi lahat ng auto ko na rustproof, may added sound insulation at sa gamit ko na maraming biyahemsa probinsya, mas kampante ako na ma rustproof.

Depends on how you meanth to use it. The diesel engine mas alagain, in the sense that you have to warm up 20 seconds before putting in gear, 1 minute cool down, not recommended ang frequent start, stop & shut off, can't idle more than 5 minutes, importante ang rating ng oil mo. Just take care of it & it returns to you superior fuel economy, torque power to climb up inclines with ease, easy merging power & the thriftiest engine currently, save for hybrids. Hope this helps.

Hi. Very interesting thread. Dami kong natutunan. Lalo tuloy ako naging excited kumuha ng Accent. Ang problema ko na lang budget.

Sir Bloo, questions lang sa previous comment mo..

1. "1 minute cool down," - Bakit? Para ano?
2. "not recommended ang frequent start, stop & shut off," - Bakit din? Reasons?
3. "can't idle more than 5 minutes," - Bakit ulit? Panu kung natrapik ng more than 5 minutes bago gumalaw? Lalo na sa Edsa pag xmas season..alam naman nating nagiging mahabang pagking lot ang Edsa at iba pang kalsada sa Manila.

Nasa manual yan. If the car was driven strenuously, the turbo will need a 1 minute cool down to drain the oil. Because you need a 10 second warm up & a 1 minute cool down. Pwede naman, basta matyaga ka lang gawin ito. Not recommended ang long idling (as stated in the manual).

Meaning hindi pwede sa non-moving traffic ang CRDi dahil dito? Kagaya halimbawa ng trapik pag na-stuck or na-stranded sa kalsada dahil sa baha gaya ng malimit mangyari sa SLEX?

[bloowolf]

Not for me to say. Yun lang advise ng manual ng Hyundai. As much as possible, though di rin maiiwasan.

Mukang eto ang dahilan kung bakit hindi advisable na idling ang makina ng Accent for long periods of time...share ko lang.
Mukang Pinoy ung owner.. Accent CRDi na taxi ang unit niya (Turbocharged Diesel Engine Lacks Power Due To Stuck VGT Mechanism). Kung ung experience ni manong ang pagbabasehan, siguro ok lang na long idling lalo na't kung hindi talaga maiiwasan. Wag lang talaga malimit gawin as per nakaugalian ng mga naging driver niya. IMO

[bloowolf]

Thanks Bro. Nice info. Kaya pala the Hyundai mechanic advised me to occasionally rev high when accelerating just to get rid of the soot accumulated during heavy traffic conditions.

I read somewhere that the reason why we should not idle turbo charged engines for prolonged periods is because while sitting idling, the temperature in the engine bay gradually increases - to a point that it can cause premature wear on the turbo if we shut it down. I don't think sitting in traffic will cause this damage as when we are sitting in traffic, we eventually move and that cools down the turbo. Sorry if I sound confusing.

Yup!! Tama naman hindi makakasira sa vgt ung city traffic. As per dun nga sa link/url na binigay ko na naging experience nung taxi owner eh as in the whole period ng lunch time or break time nung driver eh naka-idle ung engine which caused the actuator lever of the vgt to get stuck. Pero siguro matagal din naman bago un nasira..kumbaga eh paulit-ulit na gawain nung mga driver ung long idling kaya nasira ung vgt.

So meaning hindi pa rin basta-basta masisira ung vgt kung occassional lang naman pala ung long idling. Pre-cautionary measure lang ung words ng case mechs at manual na wag i-idle ng matagal..sabi nga prevention is better than cure.

Hills sa mga accent hb owners! Just received a quotation for our 20k maintenance. Medyo malaki ang quote ng kasa pero ito yung gusto nila ayusin sa tingin niyo po ba required lahat ito during 20k? I'm doubting the rust proofing part. All in all ang damage is around 24k php.

Parts:
Oil filter
Air filter A/C - don't change, just clean
Air filter Engine, change if was not done last pms otherwise just clean
Spark plugs - price not indicated but was marked. - not applicable
Fuel filter
Water Sedimentor
Wheel Balancing - balance if steering wheel vibration is apparent at speed above 100kph
Rust proofing - not necessary, its your choice.

Materials:
Engine oil semi 6L
Brake anti squeal - not needed
Engine Flush
Injector cleaner
Silicon spray - for what??
HFT coolant
HFT engine additives - not necessary.
HFT windshield washer - not necessary
Misc materials - almost 1k to o_O!

^^ yun po ang opinion ko sa pms check list.

Remove wheel balancing and rust proofing, engine flush, injector cleaner, engine additives, windshield washer.

Wheel balancing can be done outside at a fraction of the cost. all the rest you can keep. Silicon spray is used to lubricate all hinges and suspension parts.
