Hi Dickong,does it improve your car ride over potholes?  Me also thinking of adjustable suspension set, wonder if it is worth it.

my 20k km service coming soon, anyone care to share their experience in term of prices, item that need inspection, changes or top up? the ride is getting ridiculously absurd. feel as if i ride on a car without absorber as i drive to work through "pothole-ish" road. wonder any other owner of HE having this kind of suspension as i do? i saw on facebook, one of the owner installed suspension spring buffer, anyone installed it? does it help with the ride quality?

Save your money n change third party abdorber bcos the buffer wont give u any effect, u want i can give u my buffer provided u come n collect yourself

I always advise my customers this during new car delivery:

Always ask the service advisor to explain and list what they will do and charge BEFORE leaving the counter. Make sure they do not do additional that isnt compulsory.
After do baru ask, angry also too late d.

Service centres also have their sales quotas to meet, so if you dont want certain things unnecessarily done or added into your bill, stop them. If they claim is compulsory because hq says must do, ask for memo. If they can explain why it is important to add this or that, and you can accept it, then at least you are aware.

well.....
my 1.3 myvi was about 280 per normal sv... and that was before gst was implemented...
my fiesta now is also about 300 per normal sv...

so if u ask me, i think 342 for an elantra is ok  tongue.gif

Are you kidding myvi oil change n oil filter plus labour is 280 n that goes for your fiesta too moreover what so great with elantra for charging 20+ % n 10+ % as stated from your overprice quote. Can blame u saying it ok bcos u r from sime hyundai.its not we cant afford to pay, problem is not justified.

I dont know what's your problem with my comment till you have to be so rude. What does it mean, bcos I'm from Sime, i say it's ok. Dont criticize me unless u know me in person please. I never say hyundai is god. I am not Sam Loo. I just comment as a consumer and as a car owner who happens to sell hyundai.

U pakai hantam think i am biased bcos i work at hyundai. U think that's fair?

Rm50k myvi with not much features charged me rm280 for sv.
Broken bumper clip charge me rm6.
Void my warranty bcos i missed 1 sv (which the sc sendiri asked me to delay bcos 6 months baru jalan 4kkm). U think that's fair? I was so fed up with perodua, i sold the car off and bought a fiesta. Now my 2 year old fiesta value is down by half bcos of the faulty dry clutch. What to do? My own backside itchy buy fiesta in the first place. Fiesta sv around 300. Pay only lor. I want the warranty ma. I can opt to sv outside if i dont care about the warranty.

100k elantra with better features than myvi charge 342, u not happy until have to scold me just bcos i sell hyundai?

I used to sell citroen and ssangyong. Normal sv rm500+. Spare parts mark up 200%. What about that? Should my customers bang table and not sv at citroen anymore bcos their sv cost is unfair?

Go survey market. See other makes charge how much. You will be surprised to find out that hyundai maintenance is not as expensive as you think.

Cheers.

I do know why u so mad by saying u r from sime hyundai n by actual fact u r from sime hyundai n did i scold u or being rude. I am only asking for answer n u say ok but by actual fact i did survey different sc have different pricing n anyway u go survey first bfore u answer ok.

bro honestly
my i40 service fee is the most expensive in hyundai ( dun say genesis not common in market)
although i hyundai SA but i service car no even got 1% discount
my labour charge is double of elantra

but why i dint say SC chop me? bcoz i understand wat is business....

i still service on SC although is damn expensive than elantra

why? bcoz of warranty~ i dun wan have any trouble and dun wan void the warranty

as consumer u got right to do ur own decision

nobody to force u do this do tat

u wan cheaper service~ go outside

even u r selling ur Elantra~ but for other new car the T&C also same~ u go which new car also will face this~

if u reli cant accept this just void ur new car warranty and service outside workshop~

very simple and easy nia~

good luck and enjoy your car la~

I didnt say they chop me i did say justify or is it fair n i know outside service is cheaper but we r tie down by warranty.

Dear Elantra owners,

May i check if anyone has experienced jerky transmission during low rpm (1-2k) and low speed (20-40 kmh) e.g. slow traffic during jam? The jerk is subtle and something like transmission hesitation. The issue is irregular so it is very difficult to tell the SA. Sometimes, it happened early in the morning, sometimes when the engine is hot (1hr drive or more).

My elantra has been having this problem recently. Sent to Glenmarie few times but problem persists.

They changed spark plugs and tuned to factory but problem persists irregularly.

Appreciate your inputs on how to solve this. Thanks.

My son car is having the same problem like yours intermitten when slowing down the car to about 20-30kmph, feel like lowering gear n can feel the jerk n each time complain they just do the remap of TCU but last for few weeks n the problem come back. 2years old car n hopefully its not the gearbox problem.
