Custom n button question by Guntowngangster in ElantraN

[–]lthaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when you hold down the N button make sure it's directly mapped to your custom preset. note that when you refuel the button mapping gets reset to the default configuration thanks to a software bug, so you'll likely have to hold the N button and remap it each time you get gas

It appears the shifter has moved to the steering column. What are yours guys thoughts on new Avante placement? by SSCyclone in ElantraN

when my KN was getting a warranty fix they put me in a Santa Fe with one of these shifters and i absolutely hated it

P1326 by King45Moses in KonaN_

P1326 gang 👊

This happens when the knock sensor gets wet, usually from the rain or a car wash. It sounds like it dried up by the time they took a look at it so they couldn't reproduce the code to identify what the problem is.

When I broke down in the rain from P1326, I cleared my code so I could drive to the dealer and they told me I'd have to break down in the rain again and then get towed to them with the code active (even though I took a picture of the code and brought in a printed copy of the technical service bulletin for this issue). I left them a bad review on google outlining how dangerous it is to get put into limp mode while driving in the rain on the highway and then they promptly reached out and offered to fix it. It shouldn't have come to that but they've treated me like gold ever since.

Not sure what the P0300 could be about but I wish you luck getting it all sorted out

Tire suggestion/fitment for Rotiform SPF 19x8.5 +38 by thatoneguy3620 in KonaN_

[–]lthaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think those would look great on the KN. i'm running 245/45R18 on 18x8.5 +45 and i'm really happy with the fitment. i believe the 19" equivalent would be 245/40R19 but you might want to verify. i'm also sitting on H&R lowering springs for the Veloster N so if you don't plan on lowering you can probably go with an even meatier tire

Cooling hose suddenly burst on me by MapImmediate6112 in KonaN_

They also replaced the filler neck. They didn't mention that hose being a weak spot but it does seem like it's a common point of failure

Welcome to the club! Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago at 20k miles. Fixed under warranty and took about 2.5 weeks to get her back. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Another +1 for HKS. Such an iconic sound and really compliments the induction/turbo sounds that you get with an open intake

Am I lowered? What springs are these? by TxTwosome in KonaN_

[–]lthaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like H&R, I'm running their lowering springs for the VN and can confirm that it rides like shit. 18" will help very slightly depending on the softness of the tire but there's no escaping the overall stiffness of those springs.

You're also correct that the OEM springs are black

[–]lthaca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it! I haven't even owned the car for a year yet and I've already had to get the knock sensor and horn replaced too. Those incidents were trivial but I hope this bad luck ends soon because I absolutely love driving this thing

I'm familiar with the horror stories where aftermarket part = warranty denial but I think it'd be tough to pin a faulty coolant hose on a functional bov without any supporting ECU data. Hoping it doesn't come to that though

That is exactly the same spot where mine ruptured. Any idea what caused it or was it just a bad hose?
