My Accent is making a huge thud sound at the right rear side while driving through bad roads, like something is loose near the suspension and hitting the car's body .

Yesterday I took my car to a Maruti service centre (I heard he is a honest guy), his mechanics lifted it, they say it can be suspension problem. But to be sure I have to leave my car there for two days.

He is telling me, if it is suspension problem it may cost me Rs.15000, but I am not sure its a suspension problem because on smooth roads there is not even a small vibration inside.

Any Viva CRDi owners please suggest me what to do

Damper strut needs to be changed. Not so expensive as mentioned. Your suspension is bottoming out and hitting the bump stop. For good measure, also replace all the suspension bushes.

They have given me a bill of Rs.13,800/-. They are claiming to have changed suspension bush kit, suspension hub and shock absorber (Only rear right).

I feel the bill is ridiculously inflated. If someone have any idea about how much does these parts cost, please let me know.

I am having a Hyundai Accent Viva CRDi, I've been having starting issues for some time. I will have to crank the engine for 5-8 sec for it to start, but sometimes in the evening it will start with a single crank.

Today Morning unfortunately my car refused to start at all. I don't know the reason behind it and I have a doubt whether its battery issue as I felt the battery was getting strained while trying to start the third time.

Is there a way to check whether its a battery issue, usually my radio & lights works perfectly (even though it takes 5 secs for my lights to reach proper brightness, which I assume is a problem with my HID unit).

Did you try measuring the voltage across the battery terminals ?
a) Measure it without doing anythng. Should be ~ 12V. If less, you need to get the battery re-charged. Talk to your battery shop.
b) Then measure it again when cranking. Should be above ~11 V. If less, you probably have a short in the ignition electricals - most likely culprit is the self. Get it overhauled.
c) And finally measure it when the car is idling. Should be ~ 14V. If less, then your problem is in the alternator. Get it serviced.

If all the above are fine, then it is probably not an electrical problem. Follow Q&A in this thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...t-what-do.html

Thanks for the help, but now when i tried to start my car, it started within 3 cranks. So I guess the issue won't be due to battery.
Another thing I have noticed is that whenever I turn my key till ignition, this light comes up, but as soon as the car starts it disappears.
Can someone shed some light on what this indicator means, until now I thought it was normal as this warning indicator never comes on while the car is running.

What does the user manual say?



Measuring the voltage is the easiest thing to do...all you need is a regular multimeter - which you can buy at most all electrical stores selling household switchgear.

The fact that it started on the 3rd crank (i.e. I assume that 2 of your previous tries failed), points more to an electrical issue rather than other possibilities.

Also check the thread mentioned in my earlier post...

Just like what SS Da says it means that it is water in Diesel filter

Did you water wash your car recently - I know a couple of people who reported this issue after a water wash.

Pls. remove the water before it affects your fuel line !!

I have changed my car's Diesel filter quite recently (around 4 days ago). Also this indicator had been appearing before I changed the filter.

Can this mean I may be having water in my fuel tank?

This is normal I am researching Accent as a possible secondary car for myself and the two I tried today behaved similarly. Additionally here is a manual snap from a helpful teambhp member

Only if the light glows when the engine is running.

Edit: Just noticed member Brishti's pictorial response saying the same thing.

I'd suggest you clean the tank anyway. The suction filter is located in such a manner that it tends to pick up and retain the slightest of muck inside the tank. You may be having fuel starvation which is causing your starting problem.

Try Shetty Motors in Aundh or Vishalnagar, Pimple Nilakh if you are nearby. I found them pretty decent. I have done multiple jobs with them since I moved from Bangalore and burnt my fingers with Kothari Hyundai's service level and quality. Mahesh Shetty is the contact person for Vishalnagar garage. His number is 9850362007
