Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh - thread 2.0

Same mileage on mine - March 2019 reg and have it since June 2019.

We also have an ID4 but I much prefer driving the Ioniq.

Best value car I've ever had by far and plan is to keep driving it forever!

I ordered this one after quite a bit of looking around. Had a local guy change it. Took about 1.2L I think he said. It's meant to be the exact one.

I thought the reduction oil change had to be done by the dealer at a set time/mileage to maintain the battery warranty?
Also I didn’t think the Leaf or pretty much any other EV need the oil changed or at least not to preserve the battery warranty.

That and the enforced, frankly ridiculously short for an EV with no engine oily parts, maintenance interval are the only downside I see to owning an Ioniq

Edit this may only apply to the Ioniq 38 so apologies if I’m in wrong thread

I don't think it is required for the warranty. It's supposed to be lifetime. It's just some owners recommend it to avoid any issues. My local mechanic changed mine.

My car is out of all warranty anyway as was the leaf when I got the leaf done as well. It's just a service item I got done myself.

The best thing about being out of warranty is no more expensive services for sfa.

Kearys couldn't even give me a battery report to show for it

Hi all - I'm in the market for a new EV as the L30 Leaf is dying. I was planning to get a 40KW Leaf but I always liked the Ioniq 28KW so am looking at a few of them. I don't need a lot of range, 150KM would do it. Any thoughts on something like this?

Any watch outs on these Ioniq's?

I havent owned a 28 but have a 38 so did a good bit of looking in this thread. They seem pretty reliable, a couple of things that pop up:

• 12v Battery, not really anything you can do with this and a new battery is E110 and a 10 min job to swap out so not really a big deal. Might be worth getting a jump battery when they come into Lidl or Aldi though.
• A Hub sensor, you'll see plenty of people mentioning buying a part on aliexpress, thats the hub sensor. Afaik cruise control won't work when its faulty, so you can easily check that its ok by just turning on CC during a test drive. Not a big deal to fix by the sounds of things.
• I think there are some complaints about the charge door opening, just double check thats working ok.
• Make sure the tyre repair kit is in the car (pump and slime) as there is no spare. You can buy 3rd party kits pretty cheap , but the official one is expensive, even off a scrap yard I was quoted over €100.
• Usual EV specific stuff of checking it charges with AC and DC chargers. If you've a charger at home, you may need to change it as the leaf 30 used a Type 1 charger, this will use type 2
• EDIT: Check all the outside door handles as well, they are pretty weak and prone to breaking.
  

That particular one seems relatively expensive. It's got decent enough mileage and is the basic spec one. Also has no battery warranty left.

I was asking on the 38 thread recently what would be a realistic price for my 2022 with 100k on the clock and one of the suggestions was €12k, which maybe a bit low, but probably is close enough to right.

A 2022 38 for an Extra €2k would get you:

• ~4 years of battery warranty (a 2018 should have 1 year left, but that car is over 160k so its out despite the year) EDIT: sorry, a 2018 could have up to 1 year left depending when registered, a Jan 2018 car is out either way
• ~1 year of Hyundai warranty
• 33% bigger battery (but slower to fast charge)

The negative of the 38 is the slower charging (I think the 28 is 80kW, 38 is 50kW) and potentially higher servicing costs (battery coolant service is minimum €500 and happens every 4 years, although I wouldn't be doing it once the warranty expires!)

Anyone have any experience of cabin preheating not working? Hasn't preheated for me the last 2 times I've set it. Wondering if it could be a 12v battery related issue?......given I'm still on the original 12v battery 9 years on!

What would a realistic price be for an Ioniq 28, 171, with 125,000km. ABS wheel sensors replaced and a clean car. I’d be looking for a reasonably quick private sale.

I have an Ioniq 28 (172) and my mother got one based on my advice last year (182).

On her service she got rinsed for €340 for battery coolant replacement?

Something I am very confident I did not get done, or at least if I did it was 1/6th that price.

Was this required for others???

Question for those who had actuator failure.

Are there any symptoms of it before total failure.

My car charged at around half the normal rate on the granny charger.

But as soon as I plugged in and out again 1 hr 20 mins later.

It returned to my normal charging speed and stayed at that until I finished the charge 4 hours later.

Will keep an eye on it for next few charges to see what it does.

Will wait till I get a chance to look at her itemised bill to be 100% certain - but she was certain she was told it was a battery coolant and required.

Will be furious if they have stitched her up.
