Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh - thread 2.0

OBD…but yeah, right option.

I'd just get both replaced at the same time. Whichever side is ok is bound to go in the next 12-18 months anyway so might as well while it's up on a lift, and will likely cost a bit less than getting them done individually. Ballpark of €200-300 from a good indy I'd say for both.

In the hope of getting it done quicker, I decided to try the nearest Hyundai dealer. I gave them a call Saturday afternoon and they said if I brought the car in first thing on Monday morning, they would try to fit me in for a quick look

So I try that and arrive at opening time. I must have hit them on the wrong Monday because they wouldn't go near the car without an appointment (which they could only give me later in the week). Minimum fee for a diagnostic/OBD reading would be €120 (one hour of labour). The best part is they an absolutely refused to quote me the price for an ABS sensor replacement without having a diagnostic done. I definitely don't expect anything for free but at least a bit of transparency towards the customer before I commit time and money.

Next stop to a nearby indie. OBD reading done in five minutes and happy to try a replacement if I find the part. My only issue is that the only parts I can find online (eBay and Aliexpress) are for delivery in 3-4 weeks. Anyone here manage to find the part with a quicker delivery time?

I couldn't find one with a quicker delivery time. I drove mine for 5 months with the issue. Car is still driveable, you just won't have regen, cruise control, lane assist, abs etc. Takes getting used to.

Seems I’m not having much luck with the Ioniq. Both rear sensors replaced but the same error lights are now back a few days later. The problem seems slightly different this time: shows when I start the car, goes away for a few minutes when I start driving and comes back again. Perhaps one of the sensors wrongly installed or something else?

I am trying to connect the car to an OBD dongle (a Bluetooth ELM327 connecting to an iPhone, car scanner app). The app connects fine with the dongle but the dongle won’t connect to the ECU. I’ve tried various apps, connection profiles etc but just doesn’t work. What dongle and app do you all use?

I tried a local factors but they didn't stock the recommended 70W GL4 type oil recommended. Ive seen some debate as to whether this is really necessary as the 75W is much easier to come by but I'd rather stick to the recommended one at least for the first oil change.

In case anyone else is having the same issue I found this online last night. Seems to meet the specs required but it's pricey!

I'm on my second set of Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 - very happy with them.

Order them from Oponeo and get a local-ish tyre place that's affiliated with them to fit.

Not just shortish journeys.
