Re: Phev battery charging socket button & lights

As above, but pressing the button overrides a scheduled charge.
For example if you have a home charger and setup the car to charge 01:00-04:00 but stopped at a cafe one lunchtime and plugged in, the car will be waiting for 01:00 to start charging. Press the button and it will start immediately

Re: Second service OIL!

Had my car serviced by Hyundai Swindon (Pebley Beach). They used the correct grade of 0w20 but overfilled way over the maximum on the dipstick.
I ended up sucking out 500ml to get it back down to the F mark.
They also left the radiator fan disconnected.

Re: Economy meter

Congratulations on discovering that a premium price tag does not equal a premium car.

One of my previous cars was an A3 which was also a piece of junk and bought back by Audi due to so many unfixable issues.

Strangely the most reliable car I've ever owned was Italian

Re: Bluelink battery percentage question

Last last 20% ish is reserved for running in hybrid mode so you can't use the full capacity of the battery

Re: Driver seat loss of shape

I have noticed that the leather on the seat pad has stretched a little and the outer bolster has gone a bit flat. 18 months and 22k miles.

I wouldn't worry about the Hyundai warranty, it isn't worth the paper it's printed on

Re: USB Music via memory stick and AppleCar Play

If you had an Android phone then you can essentially use your phone as a the USB stick since they support copying and pasting files directly from a PC.
You'd probably still need to play them through an app on Android auto but it does do away with the faff of having to have everything in iTunes to sync

Re: Making the alarm go off with the key fob

Sadly no.
My colleague has a Passat and you can toot the horn from the key.

Looks like it's a feature in other markets

Re: EV mode in colder weather

Same here, on cooler days I get away with the heated seat and steering wheel for comfort, but under about 10c the heater is needed and the engine runs. Strangely in this mode the engine temperature never rises, I wonder if it sends all of the heat to the cabin through a separate coolant loop, away f...

2022 Rear Light Moisture

I noticed today that one of my rear lights (left side indicator and reverse) had condensation inside the lens. Took both bulbs out and was greeted with a gentle splash on the face of water. Of course, the bulb holders are at the bottom to make replacing the bulbs easier, but then they fill with wate...
