makeanewcall 3rd Gear April 5, 2019 Share April 5, 2019 Avante has more safety features but a not so posh interior... Cerato has fewer safety features but posher interior... you decide which you like... Cerato is based on the new generation platform cos it's a brand new model, the Avante is simply a facelift, albeit a major one, so it's still based on the old platform. The Cerato may actually feel better due to the newer platform... Haven't driven both... but these are differences on paper... Ain't the cerato running same engine and gearbox as previous k3? Only difference is the cosmetic design is it a batch problem? seems only a certain number are affected The previous avante had the same steering rack issue too that gotta change around the 80-100k mark. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acewin 4th Gear April 5, 2019 Share April 5, 2019 is it a batch problem? seems only a certain number are affected Bro Kurt, I just went to Komoco today for the same problem: 1) Steering column problem 2) Steering ball joint problem 3) Wheel alignment problem Problem 2 & 3 resolved but it takes the whole day. Like most bro mention problem got no parts and they need to indent and will call me when parts arrive. If your ride have some issue like these quickly go Komoco for check and rectify asap. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a warranty claim... so Komoco won't stock such parts which aren't meant to fail so early in the model life... after all, Hyundai is paying for the warranty claims...

Vicloo 1st Gear April 6, 2019 Share April 6, 2019 (edited) Dear Elantra drivers... something good to share. I always wondering why my Elantra’s pickup from stop is so slow compare to my old Altis which is also 1.6L engine. Till today I know the reason, is the engine oil!! I was always using MOBIL GOLD 5w40 on my old Altis in the past, just did my 12k servicing today, instead of using the recommended Helix Ultra (I got last time from Giant for 30+ buck), I bring in MOBIL 5W40... after collect the car, immediately I can feel the different in engine response... much better pick-up and handling! Feel just like my old 1.6L Altis last time :). Engine oil does make a different haha! Edited April 6, 2019 by Vicloo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha 2nd Gear April 6, 2019 Share April 6, 2019 Just for sharing, those who experience air con issues, whizzing sound when switcher on to 1, it might be due to ac compressor leaking. If you go KMC on a Saturday morning, they won't be able to rectify. At most they help u pump gas as a temporary measure. My car is 1month shy of 1years old and I have been visiting KMC for several other issues too. Disappointing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
