Hyundai Problem

Dankarl

Looking for some advice, 2012 Hyundai ix35

Wife is complaining of loosing power when changing gear.

Car had its clutch replaced in February and needed to have it done due to a seal breaking the month after. Oil

and filter also done.

have read online about the fuel filter, any advice?

Ask a local independent garage to give it a test drive. Fuel filter, fuel pressure is normally the cause but worn spark plugs etc can give issues at high revs.

First petrol or deisel ? Big difference in how advice is given .

AFAIK petrols dont have a fuel filter except for the sock in the tank . Rarely that is an issue unless you constantly run the car down to empty . IF spark plugs were an issue the engine would run like a bag of nails with constant missfires . It would in general be constanly sluggish . NOw that said a good service could possibly fix that . If it doesnt than there could be a leak in the intake system .

Deisel complicates things a bit more . First cheack for a boos leak . Usually when a deisel filter causes issues , it will cut out while driving up in the rev range . The same sympton you described could happen . SO a 20-30 euro filter wouldbt be a bad idea to change . After that if the issue still persists then a garage is the best option . It is a 10 year old car . So a multitude of issues could be happening . Injectors , turbo , boost leak in pipes and sensors could all cause the same problem .

Basically all petrol cars will have a fuel filter aside from the one in the tank
