Mine were exactly the same, rubbish quality. Replaced with Bosch Aerotwins. First time I ever had to replace blades in a new car under 3 years old. Same here. At least the replacement Bosch Aerotwin blades have the added advantage of operating quietly, with no nasty "thunk" at the top of ...

the ICE suddenly started to exhibit gross over-revving due to operating in a lower than normal gear Gross over-revving is not possible in this vehicle - it has a computer-controlled automatic gearbox! If you think you can do better than Hyundai's Automotive & Software Engineers, put the car in ...

I wanted to add my own recent, similar experience - Hyundai Tucson PHEV Premium, 21 plate with 20,000 miles on clock. This issue has occurred twice now, in both cases while making long-ish journeys in Hybrid (HEV) engine mode. First time the EV battery was nearly fully charged; second time the EV ba...

I know the manual warns about a wait of up to 20 seconds for fuel pressure release but my experience suggests...

Thanks for detailed post it answered a lot of questions I had. I also live in Northumberland and I am waiting for my Tucson Phev! I would be interested to hear about the typical mpg you get. Has it dropped a lot with the cold weather and the need for ICE to run? I plan to use mine to commute to wor...

Hi. I'm the owner of a Tucson PHEV in Premium trim: ordered in March 2021 and delivered in late June. Generally I'm very satisfied with the vehicle and happy with my choice. Being retired and living in rural Northumberland, a PHEV was attractive as a way of combining EV mode for local trips (typical...
