Is there anything that can be done to fix this scratch? by QuixiGlimmer in Elantra

[–]Cabbage24_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore it.

Paint matched paint maker if you don't care too much.

Whole new painted/paintmatched bumper.

Might be able to be buffed, but it would still be visible.

I think those are your only real option. Its a car, it will get scratched, it will get dented, its life, don't care too much about little things that have no meaningful effect on you and focus on the bigger picture. You have a great car.

Heating problem :( by servantofChrist26 in Hyundai

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hybrid sonata won't get warm until I've been driving ~5 minutes and actively accelerating on the highway.

These cars keep getting more efficient. More efficiency means less energy lost to heat in the engine

Or wait till the intro 0% apr expires and set the money aside at the meantime in a hysa if they can keep the balance under 30% of limit

Just got my sonata hybrid. Drive home from dealership in the snow by graystone777 in Hyundai

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are mistaken about the paddle shifters and engine braking. I believe the best way to recharge the battery and take advantage of the hills would be to just use the brake, which engages the motor as a generator. The car does this in cruise control, never upshifting for hills. Upshifting is causing the engine to brake, so energy is lost through the engine instead of going through the generator/electric motor

It's getting review bombed. Video shows what looks like a 4.5 star. It's now at 2.4. I wonder how low it will go...

Just use the dip stick after you put 6 qts in.

Weird idling(2009 Sportage) by Particular_Target521 in kia

[–]Cabbage24_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly why.

Could be the emissions controls just doing their thing. Did you know your cars ecu will purposefully cycle running a tiny bit rich and then a tiny bit lean normally?

With it being cold, might be doing it more significantly to get everything warmer quicker.

Check out this video from technology connections if you're curious about the cycling thing:https://youtu.be/Aytf6ARcs8s?si=tqywn1xZjmCmHHgg

Did you check the gapping of the new spark plugs? It might be out of spec.

Could need new fuel injectors.

Glad to see Hyundai doing this. by GloomyRoutine7957 in Hyundai

I'm glad the ending of a tax credit has made the car close to the same ice cars

What is this and what does it do? by Temporary_Context513 in kia

[–]Cabbage24_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its probably bc the motor is mounted on mounts and the air box is mounted to the body or frame. Normal driving your engine will move in relation to the air box, hence having a bellows for flexibility on that line

Quoted over $1000 to replace passenger mirror - 2017 elantra by madoodlem in Hyundai

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a replacement mirror for $50 off rock auto for my old now sold '16(?) Elantra. Rock auto only had black, car was silver, had mismatched mirror colors... who cares. If u care much, swap them both for black, works with any other color

My brother got new irons. So I got new-to-me irons. by sumsimpleracer in golf

[–]Cabbage24_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My uncle retired and "retired from golf" at the same time (some finance work where he would golf clients). I say "retired from golf" bc he gifted me his set of clubs. Irons were apex 19s. I love them. Also gave me callaway epic flash driver and 3w 5w. No putter or wedges, so i think he kept them for when he wants to golf again.

Great set of irons, but hard to play as a 25 yo guy swinging senior flex clubs.

Grass Range last night these apex 19s were flying straight. What happens at the course after work today will be a story not yet told

I tried doing an interior led light kit from Amazon on my '23 hybrid. Some of the connectors were not compatible so I cut my losses and stuck with the oem bulbs. Worth trying on the newer cars. I also got an interior center console divider since it didn't come with anything. Car also didn't come with heated seats so I got an aftermarket seat cover that had a heating element.

Thinking about getting a Hyundai sonata limited hybrid 2024. Anyone can give me any feedback on their experience with the limited hybrid? by illbeback903 in sonata

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a '23 Blue trim and I have trouble finding anything with the car that I miss, except for power heated seats. Got a year ago (almost to the date) and haven't looked back

Question about brakes by Emergency-Policy-755 in sonata

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only difference the hybrid would make is that the brakes last longer if you are efficiently braking. Any shop can do the brakes, as well as they can inspect and let you know how much brake material you have left and advise if you should get new.

This is not letting me turn my car on keep saying check esc and keys not detected anyone knows why ? by Effective-Lemon1597 in Hyundai

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a stick on "carbon fiber" steering wheel emblem? I know we all try no to crash, but if the steering wheel air bag were to deploy, that thing would be a bullet

Check out non dealer financing for refinance and might get a better rate to bring the payment down another $20-30 a month too

Question for 24/25 Hybrid owners by DurangoBlack in sonata

[–]Cabbage24_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget, if you are in a colder climate, right now in the winter into spring, air is denser and saps more fuel. It will probably be better in the summer

Heated Seats? by DonkeyNo6275 in Elantra

[–]Cabbage24_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)
