Guys,

Anyone of you wondering if we could buy i20 actives's projector headlamp setup and install in our elite i20s?

Any possibility of buying these from the dealers as Hyundai does sell accessories through OTC right?

I recently checked on installing the i20 Active's projector headlamp with a new Elite i20 Asta while booking in Bangalore. They mentioned that the headlamp mounting clip was different on both the cars and the same unit on the i20 Active could not be installed on the Elite i20. They are offering non-OEM projectors to install at the dealer level which does not come with the static bending function.

Genuinely wish Hyundai India offers this as an official accessory for Elite i20 owners.

Hi Nadim,

Just wanted to ask if those are yellow colored brake calipers or after market installation?

They aren't offering the projectors from the Active i20. They will be doing the same procedure which any other guys will do. The only difference, warranty remains intact but the overall cost is slightly higher!

Are they installing the projectors that come exactly as on elite i20 active? Or the after market ones which they sell from their tie-ups?

Stay away from the after market ones! Buy the ones that are on elite i20 active.

I saw that setup before. MODI Hyundai and Shreenath have tied up with the same guys. What I didn't like about those peojectors was they were actually spoiling the look of the front side of the car while the ones from active (or i20's international version) look brilliant.

Some solution has to be found for this.

[nadim_90210]

I looking forward of purchasing new Touch Screen HU for my I20 Elite , can anyone let me know which model should i go for ? It needs to be android and Should have GPS.

Will my steering Controls work if i install after market HU ?

Also planning to upgrade the lights as the stock ones are not so powerfull hence please advice which should i go for .

Folks & fellow i20 owners,

Does anyone know at approximately what amount of fuel left in the tank does the Llow Fuel" warning light come on?

I'm concerned as I could not find this info in the i20 user manual.

As far as I know, most cars display a low fuel light when the fuel left in the tank is less than 10% of the total capacity.

If you have this info, please do share it.

Thanks & Cheers!

Hi all, I was always complaining about the low mileage I was getting from my i20. Last day I found out the routine of gaining higher mileage figures from her.

I skipped driving her in 1st and 2nd gear mostly. And always gear shifts are done in a neutral manner. Means, shift it before the turbo engages.


You run on turbo in lower gears = you losing heavy mileage figures.

Finally I got around 20 mileage on my previous highway trip. And the interesting fact is, there was moderate traffic and she mostly ran between 80-100 speeds.

Found some interesting info from my tablet running torque pro connected to the OBD via ELM327 bluetooth interface.

1. In first and 2nd gear, you drive her hard, or sedate, your mileage is always less than 10kpl

2. In 3rd gear, she is okay, but by sedate driving, maximum 15kpl

3. In 4th and 5th, the mileage will go upto 30 while maintaining steady speeds, upto 90 while coasting and 15 while accelerating.



So always try to maintain her in 4th or 5th to get enough mileage from your i20

See the attached screenshot of my torque pro app showing mileage. It does not show other info as the screenshot was taken after switching off my car. If anyone else need elm327, you can approach me. My friend sold it to me @ Rs.1000

This find is but natural.

1st gear is only to induce movement and get the car off the line. Not to revv. Same goes for 2nd gear too.

3rd is for moderate city crusting at speeds between 35 to 45 kmph.

Once you do get free areas shift up to 4th or 5th depending on the speed. As much as possible be on the higher great for extracting the best FE from the engine.

This doesn't mean you lug the engine. There is a particular engine rpm : speed that'll get you the best FE.

Sorry buddy, I guess you forgot to attach it. I am not able to see the screen shot.

Not sure about the correct values, but I counted the average of kilometres used up in one bar and its about 35. Tallying up I'm a assuming about 2.5 litres of fuel for that bar.

Thanks mate, this one is worth to try, I get something about 13.5 kmpl in the city and have to switch back to 2nd gear many times to revv up. Will try this out for sure.

Sorry buddy, what I meant is, she is really a drunkard in the 1st, 2nd and mostly the 3rd gear. Tried the same ELM327 + Torque Pro combo in my cousin's swift and she gave better figures mostly in the 2nd and 3rd gear and in the 4th and 5th gears, they were almost matching. Please find the screenshots with this post. Forgot to attach with the last post.

In the screenshots, you can see 15Kpl and also 20Kpl.

15 was attained when I was shifting after turbo got engaged in 1st, 2nd and 3rd mostly. Because driving with turbo engaged = sheer driving pleasure

20 was attained when I was shifting before turbo got engaged in 1st, 2nd and 3rd mostly. Because, driving without turbo = more mileage

My phone was always docked and it showed the instantaneous mileage reading at all times. From the readings only I came to this conclusion. Turbo in 1st, 2nd and 3rd = LOW MILEAGE
