2019 Hyundai Avante (Elantra Facelift)

[teomingern]

Hi, does anyone feel that the aircon is not cold enough?

 

I was previously driving a Mazda 2 and just recently changed to Avante, not sure if its because Mazda 2 is small hence easier for the aircon to cool the car. For Avante, i have to turn to min fan 2 speed and temp knob to just 2 to 3 "clicks" above the coldest temp

It's normal... it's simply a matter of how the thermostat is calibrated... nothing wrong... different makes have different ways of calibrating it... basically the Japanese like very cold aircon... hence their aircon is usually set very low... for the Koreans, it seems they follow the European standard... not as cold... perhaps their climate plays a part too... I don't have a problem with that... just adapt lor...

Agreed. My dad's altis needs two notches out of 5 and I'm okay even on scorching afternoons, but my Avante needs 3 or sometimes even max fan for the same temp

European standard indeed. I was shocked when the SE told me the signal lights switch is on the left side instead of the usual right side.

Everytime i flick wrongly, the wipers came up.

Thanks all for the feedback.

 

By the way, what grade of petrol do you all pump for your avante? 95 or 92? I think the min grade of petrol that our avante can take is RON 91 right?

 

Fyi, my old Mazda 2 and new Avante are both Grey

It's just 4c difference between 92&95. Anyway, I pump sinopec so no 92

Depends on make and model... my Dad's Renault colder than mine... but my Subaru colder than his Renault... ha ha...

You should ask the Service advisor to check when you go for your first servicing.

 

I have been driving my car for 3 months and I find 1 not adequate only when my wife is onboard.

3 months only? Too early to make any judgments.

Boss,

 

Drive 3 months cannot decided whether air cond okay or not ?

 

Then must wait how long, boss ?

Anyone change ATF at the 1st servicing ?

Or even the other liquids of the car like coolant, brake fluid, etc ?

1st service only need change Engine Oil and filter.

 

Other fluids no need to replace, just inspect and check if the level is sufficient.

3yrs. 3 months still quite new. Of course aircon will be good.

He's not talking about the aircon breaking down... duh...

[iceraider]

Hmm.. korean car aircon known to be not very cold as compared to jap car..

You get used to it... most car brands have all standardized to have the signal and lights stalk on the left and wipers on the right... Hyundai & Kia made the switch I don't know when... but the previous Avante was still the other way round...

Any reasons for non conti car brands to switch the signal and lights stalk to the left le? But think many jap car brands still on the right?!
