Hyundai INSTER

Thanks guys. True most homes in Ireland are single phase but its also worth capturing trends of charger used and failures.

I saw a post somewhere stating that this issue did not show up on 3 phase chargers, something about thermal trips not occurring - I’ll see if I can find the link.

Would this apply to the cars we already bought I wonder:

10 year Hyundai warranty for Europe

I have the ICCU in mind. …8 years on the battery which rarely ever fails was decent already. 5 years on something that can fail every year and costs 5k to repair is what I need help with.

I know.. That's why this European 10 year warranty prospect sounds good. …if applied to existing cars of course.

If you encounter this specific charging issue then yes, the drop in charge rate allows consistent charging at ~6Kw - the time difference on an overnight charge is negligible. Whether it prevents the issue from happening - who knows?

Anyone know what anti-freeze brands can be used for topping up Inster?

The manual just states to use a mixture of distilled water and "Phosphate-based Ethylene glycol coolant"

It's going back into the garage to see what's wrong so I'm not going to touch it - but in general a small top up of coolant should be ok (provided it's the right type as recommended in the manual)

I would. In fact, after each service my dealer rings me asking to leave feedback and to make sure it's not less than 8 to 10 satisfaction or they get penalised .

I've had 30k service done today - together with new wipers that they changed, it was 250eur. They tried to sell me new tyres at 100each but I said I'd get them sorted myself. I was expecting to pay 260 for the service + whatever is their cost of wipers so not sure why it came to 250 only but I am happy anyway.

Yeah that seems very expensive, even compared to what I've been paying for service on our EV6.

That price is taking the p!$$ but that's not your fault.

I'll keep an eye on the price when ours is due; thanks for the info.

So a week before I was due a 30k service, the charging rate started dropping after 30min. Rang dealer - they told me to set current to 90% and things have been working fine.

Last Friday had a 30k service done. Last night I noticed that car is charging at 4.2kW instead of 6.4. Went to check the car - they set current to 60% when they serviced it and never told me! Really annoyed as I would have woken up to a not fully charged car as I ran it down to 5% if I hadn't checked Zappi before going to bed. They must be worried about ICCU if they changed it to as low as 60% which is absolutely no good to me as I drive a lot.
