New or rebuilt engine cost for Hyundai i40

XXTOMXX

Hi. Can any one tell me how much a new engine for a 2013 hyundai i40 is. Also does any one know how much a rebuild would cost. Thanks.

Surely a second-hand one from a breaker is the only sensible option.

I had tought of that but they are supposed to be hard to come by. I am sort of weighing up all my options at the min.

It also depends on the extent of the rebuild, could be anything from just re polishing the crank and fitting a new set of shells (say €1000)to fitting new pistons, rebore, skim the head, new glow plugs, new injectors , new turbo , new clutch and fly wheel, new high pressure diesel pump(say €4500) and sure while your at it throw in a new dpf and cat, another 2 k.
So there’s rebuilds and rebuilds.

I've no idea, but if you have a Hyundai,.get rid of it.

From a guy who has to drive a Hyundai as a company car .

It keeps leaking coolant. I already had a rad replaced. It may not need to be replaced fingers crossed. I heard some horror stories of other i 40s regarding the block. I am just preparing my self for the worst case situation.

What year is your i40? There's a TSB on coolant loss.

2013. Whats tsb

colm_mcm

Technical service bulletin. Basically a procedure issued to technicians by the manufacturer for diagnosing and remedying common problems.

You're out of luck with Warranty, if you have a full service history you can try goodwill.

Hellrazer

The TSB was for coolant leaking.
The head bolts were too long for the block (or the block wasnt threaded deep enough for the head bolts) and caused cracks in the block.
Id be going to Hyundai and asking was it included in that TSB by getting them to check the VIN
If it was Im sure in a 2013 you`d be covered under some consumer law somewhere
Manufacturer fault all the way.

Hellrazer

Yes, I'm an ex-parts manager for Hyundai and Hellrazer AFAIK is service related in another Hyundai dealer.

Had our i30 CRDI since new in 2008 without a single issue bar a recall on the rear brake light. 190k miles worth every cent utterly bulletproof.

colm_mcm

1.6 engine is pretty bulletproof.

I called my local hyundai dealer gave them my chasis number they said there was no tsb on my number. He asked was it a uk import which it is he said some of them out of the uk had the problem you described. Good news is leak has stopped mechanic reckons it may have been trapped air after the rad replacement.

He probably lobbed in a can of radweld when you weren't looking...

Unfortunately the statute of limitations is 6 years so the OP is out of luck.

I wonder who buys all those ex Garda i40s at auction.

They must be proper ****e, atleast work the Fords/Toyotas they were a bit better screwed together.

IIRC they are all scrapped now as the cars are knackered when they are finished with them regardless of the make.

Id gladly buy an ex cop I40-actually any ex cop car.

Service on the button every 10,000,no expenses spared when they need any work doing.
Full vehicle rebuild after 150,000km-All suspension parts,shocks,springs suspension arms ,Pads /Discs all around even down to individual nuts and bolts being replaced.
They even replace parts that dont need replacing.

Better than some of the **** you`d find on donedeal.

Yea but they're driven like ****e, battered scraped and crashed and quickly repaired. So even if all the components are replaced at 150k , another couple of 10s of thousands of miles of abuse will have been put on it by the time its auctioned off.

Id prefer a car that was fully serviced on the button with no expense spared than something thats never been looked after.
Obviously Im not talking about something thats been smacked and repaired (mind you they do only use genuine parts and the best body shops in the country for their body repairs) but some of the patrol vehicles are in great condition body wise.

Get an ex hire car. An ex cop car will be full of holes from where they remove their gear.

Jesus no. Hire cars are lucky if they ever see the inside of a dealers workshop.
Usually serviced by a brand name tyre place using cheap **** parts and the wrong oil.

The sheer number of problems I see with ex rentals, hire and lease cars is phenomenal.

All down to lack of servicing.

If they’re even serviced at all over their entire life of 60 k -100 k kms

In fairness the majority of used cars less than a year old are ex-rental cars so the probability of a used car less being less than a year old being an ex rental is high!

Can you provide evidence to back up that claim?

had an ex lease car several years ago and it had every service detailed (on the button) and every piece of work that was done on it in a detailed report from the leasing company - and which garage it was done at. which at the time would be better that most private cars that were available.

PCP might have changed that i suppose

Lease cars can be referred to as company cars provided by a leasing company such as leaseplan. These cars usually have one driver.

Rental cars, they definitely have several different drivers of all differernt skill and persuasion. Usually travelled every pothole from west Kerry to north Donegal. They may skimp on services and get repaired at any aul garage in the country where the accident happened.

I used to work for a motor group who was giving me a a car to use in November that was coming back from a hire company that bought them bulk discounted in March (when the dealer gets rebates).

Doesnt make it any better to be honest.
Ive two in at the minute from a huge lease company. Both are 182 and both have 90,000 kms + on them.
Neither of them have seen the inside of a main dealer since they were sold. Both have missed serious recalls-gearbox in one is gone and it looks like the engine in the other.
Both service in big name tyre brand places using incorrect oil.
The one with the engine is due to wrong oil and the gearbox one could have been avoided if a recall had been carried out.

Same as lease cars so!!!

The point I was trying to make is that comparing apples to apples a Garda car is way more looked after than a lease or rental car. And thats not anecdotal--I see it every single day.

Hi again i have another question maybe u can help me answer. My blower motor for my heating has suddenly started making a humming noise the faster the air speed the louder it gets. In your experience is this a sound it makes when starting to fail or could it be something stuck inside the fan. The pollen filter is filthy as well.

colm_mcm

Take the pollen filter out and see what happens. It would certainly have been putting the system under more load.

XXTOMXX

It was fine this morning. I drove to town replaced the filter on my way home it started again. Sounds like its coming from the intake under the windscreen.
