    Has anyone had the rear wheel sensor for the AEB warning replaced outside of warranty with an indy?

    Struggling to find someone in Galway to do the job. I have the part ready to go. If I wasn't so tied down timewise I'd give it a go myself!

    I've noticed a 10-15% decrease in range since the sensor went and I've been unable to use regen braking.

    Any independent can change it. You need good diagnostics to determine which wheel. (I assume that was done)

    One of mine failed in April, other side in October so be prepared for both sides on the rear to go.

    The assembly includes whole wheel bearing which makes it expensive.

    Maybe look for garages selling lots of hybrids, it's only a wheel bearing assembly and if car is off while done then no diagnostics needed to reset. Maybe call in, in person with the part and you may get a better response. There are videos on YouTube of the work required.

    The specialists in Arklow were best value, the specialists in North Dublin were 150 euro more expensive for same job.

    Below garage is called an EV specialist in Galway. Get a fixed price before any work starts as some are cheeky on pricing.

    Great info, thanks so much. I had one side done under warranty last year, so I'm assuming it's the other side gone now but need to confirm with diagnostics.

    Will check in with Donnelan Auto Services, they're actually only a few minutes away!

    It seems that every time I drive or am in as a passenger another type of EV.....

    The end conclusion seems to be a reminder of just what Hyundai actually achieved in 2016....

    Big difference in newer EVs seems to be more range if you actually need it.....

    However I've yet to drive the Model 3 Highland or EX30.

    I also note that Autocar tested a number of EVs including the Abarth 500e with a focus on matters important to a drivers car and picked the Cupra Born.

    Useless thoughts from an Ioniq 28 driver on a Thursday evening.

    🙂

    FWIW - I think I ended up paying €425 or similar for it @ main dealer - 6 weeks out of warranty. Was devastating timing tbh!

    Yeah they charge mad money as they replace the entire wheel hub. The reality is that the sensor can be bought for less than €20 and is just prised from the hub and the new one pushed on. Very easy job for a mechanic, I'd hazard a guess less than 30 minutes work for one who knows what they're at.



  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭raddo


    Same issue here but looking for an indy in Cork to do the same. Any recommendations?



  • Registered Users Posts: 38 Balsamnews


    Honestly the Ioniq 28kWh should be iconic, had real-world 200km range if you drove it smooth, great efficiency, still more efficient than EV's of today bar maybe Model 3 and it was dirt cheap, I could have got one for 21k brand new years ago but cheaped out and got the Leaf instead like a dumbass

    Hyundai intentionally ruined it and killed it with that 38kWh update, they didn't want a cheap EV for the masses and choose not to put a decent 50 or 60 kWh battery in it as no one would have the new overpriced lineup

    It had potential to be a Tesla Model 3 beater

    If Hyundai had of put a proper battery in it like the 64kWh in the Kona, it would have been car of the decade, you'd have got 500km range out of it, even if they put a smaller 50kWh battery in it, it would have done nearly 400km

    Such a shame they killed it

    Corporate greed

    Search here put in Cork address

    In relation to changing the sensor itself, I believe the hub still needs to be taken off to swap the sensor itself so it's a bit of work either way. Most places swap everything to be safe.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604



    yeah, prices seem very high. Has something happened to cause this?

    Supply and demand and the cheaper ones sold. There was a lot of EVs for sale during the summer as lots of people got teslas at newer reduced prices so market was temporarily flooded with used EVs. Also lots of people with 3 year old EVs on pcp deals upgrading so dealers had lots of inventory. I had my ioniq for sale, but demand was low. It's likely these higher priced cars will sit for months unsold.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    thanks for input

    If you don’t mind saying - what year and mileages was yours and what did you get for it??



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,734 ✭✭✭zg3409


    Mileage was 110k, 172 reg, was up for 15, dropped price to 14, one viewer, sold for asking price. I was not in a big rush. I knew the market was quiet and I wanted cheaper ones to sell before I advertised mine. I delayed a month waiting on cheaper cars to sell then had mine up for about 2 months. I was not going to buy another car until mine was sale agreed. I then watched the market while selling for a cheap Niro 64kWh and bought one that had dropped the price below 20k. It's a good bit of effort buying and selling privately but I saved myself probably 2-8k on dealer trade in and purchase prices. I did contact a few dealers for trade in prices that were selling niros. Some did not want my car at all and offered nothing.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    Thanks for detailed reply. Yeah selling privately really saves money.

    when you say the market is quiet, what do you mean - the car market in general or people not wanting older electric cars now due to all the newer electric cars coming in etc

    Tesla dropped prices twice this year. As a result there was a glut of used non Teslas for sale at the first half of the year. Compared to last year where supply was low, people waiting 1+ years for new cars, now most new makes have new cars in stock. Supply and demand, the supply of used cars is higher than demand especially in November, and lots of used cars coming off 3 year pcp deals. Dealers say inquiries for EVs have dropped and the whole cost of living and interest rate hikes, electricity prices doubling are having its toll. Many new EVs increased their prices in recent years but on the used market now people are not willing to spend 30k+ on a second hand car. EVs with 40kWh or less are seen as somewhat obsolete even if only a couple of years old. EVs with 60+kWh batteries can be bought for 20k euro or less. Things could change where diesel values drop like a stone, it's hard to know but depreciation is the biggest cost to owning any car.

    may this moment in time, what would be a REALICSTIC price to pay for a 2017-2018 Ioniq? (When the dreamers are taken away)



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,734 ✭✭✭zg3409


    Depends on mileage, say 100,000km, year 2017, no issues, in Dublin say 13k from private sale but again the seller would need to be close to that asking price and have had car up for a while and you might need to walk away. Same car might be 10-20k depending if the seller is a dealer or if they need the cash urgently to take deliver of new car or have no parking for old car and new car arrived. Ads with bad photos and outside Dublin get less interest from buyers but may be more room to haggle.



  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭Basilio


    It is not about dreamers, I would narrow search to Automatic, limit mileage, exclude Leafs with limited range and Japanese Imports. So you can see what is out there on offer. If you think EV is overpriced go with other fuel options if price point is important to you.




  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    Is 14,500 Euro for a 2017 Ioniq with 131,000km on the clock from a main dealer = too high a price?



  • Registered Users Posts: 174 ✭✭Basilio


    I would go with this one. New traction battery, half the mileage, better trim, Warranty up to 2025, longer range (I know rapid charging not as fast as 28kWh, but how often would you need it?) https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2020-hyundai-ioniq/35621814

    thanks. but in saying this, will still need to charge it on a 200km+ trip and the charging is slwoer than the the Ioniq 28, so could take more time :)


    Looking deeper, lets say a standard Galway to Dublin trip which is mainly motorway - most EV's will need a charge to get there I believe, unless you spend a lot of €€€

    I regularly (ish) do Sligo to Dublin return in my 28kw Ioniq. Although I could probably do door to door on one charge I always stop for a top up for comfort and so that I am not empty when I reach my destination - easier to charge on the way to Dublin and arrive with some capacity than to be queuing up somewhere in Dublin waiting.

    I have 2 good charging spots to choose from at either Kinnegad Plaza or Ballinalack. If you regularly do a specific trip that has easily accessible chargers on the route it makes all the difference.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    Thanks. How often is regularly?

    and are you looking at newer EV cars or will any newer cars still equal roughly same charging



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional East Moderators, Regional North West Moderators Posts: 12,207 Mod ✭✭✭✭miamee


    I do that trip about once ever 3-4 weeks. I'm not looking at changing cars at the moment but if and when I do it'll be for a longer range car alright. OH has an EV6 so that can get him to Dublin and most of the way back on one charge so only one stop needed on that journey instead of my 2 stops (once on the way up, once on the way back). Newer EVs will definitely need to be charged less on public chargers if you have them fully charged at home for your journey.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    Thank you, Do you find the journey hardship or all ok (do you want to just have the EV6 already ? :))

    I guess in my head unless im willing to pay a good few thousand euro more, I wont get an EV that will do many 200km+ motorway type journeys without having to think about charging



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional East Moderators, Regional North West Moderators Posts: 12,207 Mod ✭✭✭✭miamee


    Well the question you really have to ask is how often do you realistically do 200km + motorway journeys and which motorways are they on? Do those motorways have easily accessible service stations with a reliable charger(s)?

    I don't find it a hardship at all and the funny thing is I am so used to stopping that even when I do get my hands on the EV6, I'll still almost always stop for a few minutes to buy a snack or use the loo or something. We used to have a 2011 Leaf - now that was a hardship on a long journey! This is luxury in comparison 🤣



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    True yeah. I guess the main motorways and routes now have somewhat decent chargers. (I rarely use the public network so not much knowledge)



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭obi604


    Question in regard to a 2017 Ioniq.

    Can you turn on the heat fan remotely via an app (iPhone)

    Can I see the status of charge of the battery via an app


    I can do this currently with my leaf and just wondering if possible on the Ioniq

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭eagerv


    iirc there was no app for the classic Ioniq. Pre-heating was done through car screen..
