What a decision for you to make Mutley mind you having worked for Vauxhalls Service Dept Franchise for 40plus years I certainly know which model I prefer and its my 2nd Hyundai. Seeing the amount of recalls Vauxhalls have against Hyundai , Hyundai are miles ahead of having the least and this can be ...

Thanks for your info. Mutley but as I have never heard the noise before but certainly been interested if anything occurred. Plus I have never looked closely at a Kona tensioner I was relating to the Vauxhall one which hasn't or perhaps they do now have a rachet but just spring and assisted on runnin...

Thinking what Paulo mentioned about the waste gate flap - it could be possible when you think the Hyundai i10 with same engine does not suffer with these noises but the only difference is the "turbo". Could it be ???

Paulo don't say sorry its good to have all these suggestions. It's a pity somebody from Hyundai / Kia Tech does not read this saga and give some suggestions.

Perhaps Bart may come up with more info.

Seeing your pictures above (which I have downloaded as well) - I have been comparing them with a Hyundai Workshop Manual which I have on the Hyundai i10 (2015 model) and looking at the standard i.0ltr and comparing they look very much the same - thou I cannot compare part No's I can't say they are e...

Well what a story. What i can't understand is why there should so much slackness in the timing chain to start with because on the long stretches of the chain between the camshaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket you have 2 timing chain guides which I assume are not adjustable ? and I would have...

Surely Bart after all the attempts to cure this problem you should be entitled to replacement new vehicle - but problem will the replacement be the same?
