Best demo of oil & plug change I've seen. Helpful when I serviced my daughter's car. Runs well now.

OMG, I posted my comment first and then watched the video and realized, what a gem of a video I stumbled upon. Tutorials like this are so hard to find. So much information, and every step thoroughly explained. It's better than anyone would ask for. And all this for free. Thank you for what you do.

Vehicle Maintenance and Repairs .com Just completed the service, your tutorial made it a breeze. Thank you again. However, I notice that I have some black debris in the coolant reservoir, I would love to see a video tutorial on how to empty, flush and replace the coolant. Cheers again.

[@johnpowell1952]

Thank you for all the info on servicing Hyundai i20. You made it all clear to me. What about fuel filer?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi John, thanks for tuning in to my channel, no fuel filter to replace on the i20,s. Thanks for your support. Gary

[@deanmcivor1160]

Yes thank you alot how much money will I save doing this service myself instead of going 2 a mechanic all I have 2 buy is new air filter andcsone plugs

[@marvinwalters9993]

Thanks for the informative video Gary. Need to do a minor service on my i20 1.6. The service kit you used, where did you purchase it? I'm from CPT...

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Marvin thanks for your support, the service kit is obtainable from, Masterparts, Alert Engine Spares and Diesel Electric all in Cape Town.

[@renogordon6896]

Hi Gary, I wanted to ask about changing the fuel filter for the i20. I have heard you mention on a previous video (Honda Ballade service) that as the fuel filter is in the fuel tank one can leave it and only replace it when replacing the fuel pump. Will the same apply for the i20 as the fuel filter is also in the fuel tank? Thank you for the guidance.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Yes Reno there is no petrol filter replacement necessary for the i20 at servicing

[@tnamen1307]

Is it G4LA engine 1.2??

[@sandilesithole3660]

Hi Gary, with the vehicle lifted on the front, and sump plug facing the front, is it not possible that there is some old oil that does not come out of the sump, just a thought

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Correct Sandile, but it is minimal and as you can see by the end result hardly significant. Thanks for your support by visiting my channel.

[@Mandrag0ras]

How often should I change gearbox fluids (manual). And if mileage is too low, how long can I keep them before changing them?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Gearbox oil rarely gets replaced in a manual gearbox as the lubrication of the gears is splash feed, there is little friction in the box, therefore, the heat is not excessive in deteriorating the oil viscosity and grade, In cases where the gear oil is replaced is when the gearbox is repaired and needs to be refilled., auto boxes on the other hand have to be replaced periodically as there are pumps, valves, belts and other components that is affected by oil quality and viscosity.

[@nathierernstzen808]

Thank you for the video. What is the recommended type of oil do you use? I have a 2011 Hyundai i20 1.4 petrol.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

5w30 (full synthetic) or 15w40, the capacity is 3.6L including the filter, I leave the oil grade choice up to the client as there is a significant difference in cost.

[@nathierernstzen808]

the shop were I bought the oil said the car came out with 5w40, is there a big difference in using this instead of 5w30@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790

[@deanmcivor1160]

How much money would this save u instead of going 2 mechanic

[@NeoTheNomad]

Hi Garry, can you give me the list of 50 point inspection that needs to be done.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hello, Neo thanks for supporting my channel, send me an email to [e-mail], I will forward the 50 point checklist.

[@thembagift5989]

Can I please ask were is the fuel filter placed in the i20

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

No filter to replace, in the tank.

[@tsekekatlego6687]

Before drain the oil, should I wait for the engine to cool down or can I go on and drain the oil immediately after the the timer goes off

[@dawidptak6433]

I believe the oil is to thick when cold. That is why he kept the engine on for 15 minutes to make sure the oils is not cold. I would just go for a shooping . Few miles to the shop and back should get the temperature to around 90 degrees of Celsius. It will take some time to cool down again so should be plenty time to empty the car from shooping before oil change.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Best to drain while hot, Tseke it helps to get the gunk out before it settles to the bottom again, just be careful not to burn while draining the oil.

[@okuhlecrafts495]

Good day My i20 has a problem with the 3rd coil it is not firing up and I had it diagnosed and it stated that it misfires what can I do?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hello Okuhle Crafts, thanks for supporting my channel with your visit, the only thing you can do is to replace the faulty coil, wishing you an awesome 2021. Gary

[@gtrboix]

While changing on my i20 1.2 there was a little bit of oil on my spark plug thread only of one cylinder is it ok?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Rajarshee, not to worry it is a little oil that leaked into that plug tube, it is time to tighten or replace your tappet cover gaskets.

[@gtrboix]

My car has only done 19k in past 7 years

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

It just goes to show, Rajarshee, a car is designed to be driven frequently (daily) when it is not used frequently it's components deteriorates.

[@aldoafrica8403]

[@shalu129]

My car hav very poor mileage air filter changed no change 1.2 petrol

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Shalu, thanks for supporting my channel, very sad to hear, these cars are very economical, there are so my factors affecting bad fuel consumption, such as under-inflated tyres, weight, spark plugs, fuel leaks, dirty injectors, poor quality fuel etc. the list goes on. best to have a mechanic check it for you. Good luck. Gary

[@shalu129]

@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 thank you
