That looks like the ICE frame of the 2013 Diesel AVN AT (Yes, they actually named it as the AVN - Audio, Video, Navigation - variant).

Since it's an OEM part, you should get it at a Hyundai MOBIS outlet. Boodmo's OEM catalogue should be able to help you with the requisite part numbers.

He is not looking for the OEM part. He just needs the fascia to fit the 7 inch unit. The attached picture below will show what he needs (7 inch) vs. what he is able to get (9/10 inch). The Fascia for bigger size units obstruct the AC vents and looks ugly. But with so many 9/10 inch Android Head Units in the market and customers going for bigger sizes, these fascia are easily available compared to the 7 inch units.

Try calling Auto Planet (Bangalore) (https://www.autoplanet.net.in/) and see if they are ready to ship. I went there last year to decide for a SONY or Pioneer Android Auto unit (7 inch) and they were ready to do it (I have 2013 i20). But I dropped the plan eventually as I got a new car for highways and investing 30k in i20 did not make much sense and it will be probably sold in next 1-2 years.

If you do not get it, they are only available on AliExpress. Not sure when normal shipping to India will resume. Miss it so much.

Well, regardless of what it was called, this wouldn't have worked because it isn't exactly a double din slot which is something these Pioneer/Sony units need. This is what the stock frame looks like:

I believe I did contact them but they did not have one in stock. Anyways, I was able to source one through a local shop in Delhi. It came all the way from Mumbai and is made by a company called Global Byte. It was pricey @3K, but then I had to have it and the quality is first-rate and the color matched the stock trims too.

Had already installed Infinity components all around previously along with damping on all 4 doors, and the output is just fab and the entire thingamajig looks very stock too IMO. Here are some pictures:





P.S. NCR received an abrupt thundershower yesterday, hence the dirty windows. It's usually not that bad

Hi guys,
My aunt has a 2013 model i20 sportz variant. Its left side mirror was recently cracked and the service centre is not giving a proper estimate on when the part will be available.

Does anyone know any good garage in kolkata that can help with the part or what to look for in boodmo or any other marketplace to get the mirror replaced?

Get the part number from the service center, they will share without any question. Call few other service centers. I have seen availability vary across service centers of same dealer chain.

Once you have part number you can order on boodmo as well.

Another milestone achieved.
My i20 crossed the 150k km this independence day. Uptill now it's been relatively trouble free. Apart from frequent spark plugs replacement (because of CNG), i haven't done anything extra. Will be servicing the car soon so might change the clutch again. Although there is no change in the performance & average (25+ km), but the clutch has become hard.

Hi Everyone, need a little help. 5 years back my i20 at 65k km went through an entire clutch replacement. At that time i wasn't aware which all parts needed to be replaced. So i kind of approved everything which the service advisor told me. I'm attaching the bill for reference.

Now the car is at 155k km and needs another clutch overhaul. Shall i once again change everything mentioned in the bill or change only the worn out parts? Please guide 🙏

[nsbhagwat]

Hi TB16, since the clutch has done almost 1 lakh kms, talk to your SA and get his views. If he recommends replacing only a few parts post assessment then go as per his advice.

A question - what were the circumstances that led to overhaul of the clutch assembly at 65K? Was it parts quality?

Regards
Nikhil

Yes, parts quality is the only reason i could come up with. Infact there was a thread which was created a month back and many hyundai owners said something similar.

Some elements previously changed were not really required IMO, obviously this is considering you were not facing any drastic issues earlier. Btw 65k seems a little too soon for the 1st clutch to give up but the second one seems to have lasted you just fine.

Parts #2 & #6 don't really need a replacement unless they go bad, in most cases flywheels can be resurfaced just like disc rotors and #2 which I assume is the slave cylinder again does not need to replaced if it working fine, most common observation in case of failure is a soft/heavy clutch pedal, so if you are facing this, I would suggest getting it overhauled first since child parts are available and the kit only costs a few hundred bucks. The rest of parts replaced are pretty standard and in line with what you should expect to be billed this time around too. If you still want to go ahead with Hyundai ASS, you could consider getting an opinion/estimate from an independent workshop first so as to not expect any surprises later.

Hi, I have just restored my 2010 i20, and I am looking to get the HU changed to a 7” unit, could you please share the model number and your experience with the pioneer unit you have installed?

Thank you

A few updates on maintenance of 2012 i20 CRDI, with odo 1,30,000

Recently dashboard shows Electric power steering (EPS) system warning light, started intermittently and it was constant. Speedometer was erratic jumping between zero to the actual speed. My initial worry was EPS motor going bad. When the speedometer was showing zero, EPS motor was not working as expected - no extra weight on higher speeds and makes it very sensitive to slight turns at high speed. I got the scanning done and it was confirmed speedometer sensor was the culprit for this behaviour. Surprisingly, the sensor did not need a replacement. After cleaning the connectors it was working fine. Here is the part number in case you need a replacement.

Both RH and LH lower arms needed a replacement because the rubber parts were worn out or cracked. Front suspension started making a noise while climbing speed breakers in the city and at some bridges on the highways. We can replace the bush and individuals parts which add up to almost the same amount for a single unit.












Clock spring was another part that needed replacement. Airbag warning light was the symptom and audio controls on the steering will not work properly.

My 2011 CRDi Diesel i20 Sportz has a pair of Bridgestone tyres in the front, and a pair of Michelins on the rear. This car has taken me one quite a few long drives over 8 years, and I have been very particular about getting good highway tyres. The tyres were last changed in 2019, before Covid. Since usage was very little after Covid, the tyres were looking quite new.

Then, in 2023, I drove from Cochin to Bangalore a few times, and the after the trips, the tyre on the left rear lost most its tread on the inside. The suspension overall is not as smooth as it was, but the rear suspension looks fine to me (no wobble or abnormal noises). Even the service advisor did not find anything substantial - he said that the wear could have been due to the age of the tyre and Michelin, being made of soft compound, does not age as well as other tyres.

Now that I have a new Kodiaq as my primary highway vehicle, the i20 is going to be used only for city duties. For now, I replaced the worn out Michelin with an old Apollo tyre which I had as spare. I was not feeling comfortable in investing in new rear tyres since I have this nagging feeling that it is not just the age of the tyre that caused the abnormal wear.

As of now, I am planning to get an independent suspension test done at MRF Tyredrome some time next week. If everything is fine, I will get a new pair of tyres for the front, and move the front tyres to the rear. The old Michelin on rear right will go to the spare and my old Apollo spare will go to into my storage dump.

Any comments or suggestions? Also, what would be a good choice of tyre if usage is primarily for short trips in the city, and a highway ride upto 100km once a month? Ride comfort on long highway rides is no longer a requirement.

Since you're no more using i20 for your highway needs, you are fine with managing with the old tyres. However, you have also quoted 100 kms highway run occasionally, so replacing the front tyres will be a safer move and wiser investment, but not in a hurry. You can take a couple of months as well.
