The UK Hyundai Coupe Club

I'm afraid I can't make this as I've got some visitors down for my Birthday

unfortunately ive got a Olympics thing to deal with...

Do we have a venue for hte meet up after the test drive?

may not have the Coupe running by then, get a problem sorted and it develops another one. Was running to rich, sort out the lambda problem, now its got a MAF problem and is runing lean!

We would like a discussion on the veloster and some decent reviews that we could use....either positive or negative.
Good chance for UKHCC to shine!

Same company these days, and unlike the velostar, the Kia looks good. No matter how well the velostar drives, I'd never own something that ugly (apart from the wife )

But it's run as seperate entities and this is the ukhcc!!

Do we have a venue or shall we show up at Hyundai?

interesting question....any thoughts boss?

Definately won't be there, after ruling out other things, I'm now pretty sure the Coupe has a valve not seated right, or a valve seal gone, as its definately leaking air, but not externally! So the head comes off again this week!

Damn and i was so looking forward to seeing donn....sorry you tom!

I could bring my other car......

To be fair when I rebuilt the engine it was an experiment, expected a few teething problems, just didn't count on a chain reaction, think this air leak may have been the cause of all the other problems since the rebuild. Its been running to rich, and been triggering lambda signal fault codes, however I checked codes again since I changed it and its a MAF code, on top of that the inlet pressure keeps dropping, something me and Sharky missed with the hi-scan as we were looking at the lambda and injectors/fueling, not the air intake. Now thinking about it, if the MAFs sending a signal for a certain amount of air, engine fuels accordingly, but due to the leak there's less air, mixture becomes rich, Lambda reads signal wrong, cars smokes like a chimney, stinks, and lost power. Seems I may have been looking for the fault at the wrong end of the car!

Sadly I have to bow out of tomorrow - been called in to work
