I looked at new ones all the continental ones where awesome but a little too expensive to use as a courier van a few have them but if anything goes wrong its expensive ok so is Japanese and Korean but the parts seem to be easier and faster to get . Saying that if I was rich I would buy a vwat the drop of a hat but like most other ex couriers rich is what I was before I was a courier

I say you got them by the hairy bits here.Clearly it wasn't OK.My knowledge of diesels is limited as well but AFIK constant smoke is not glow plugs.Sounds to me that a monumental stuff up with the intercooler job.You have now mentioned "stuffed glow plugs" and "gunged up injectors" also a problem with "water indicator sensor".The more you tell us thge more convinced I am that the dealer is not very competent at all.I'm sure Jazz and i would support your case in the DT if need be.My experience of the DT is if everything goes smoothly you can get a decision in about 2 months.Getting paid can then become another problem but I can help you there too if need be.Cheers and best of luck.

If you're thinking about going to a Merc Vito 111 avoid, avoid, avoid.Had them as work vehicles some of biggest heaps I've ever had the misfortune of driving.We had four of them they spent a considerable amount of time in the garage.

Clogged up injectors don't cause a turbo to blow, unless water got into them and took a tip off an injector and that went through the turbo. What side of turbo is blown! inlet or exhaust.

I know of a Rural Delivery driver in the Bay that had big failures with the Hyundai. Jazz, Consumer Guarantees Act does not cover a purchase for business use.

Not sure what side of Turbo, getting it out of the dealer tomorrow for a second opinion. Stevo you say CGA doesn't cover a purchase for business use, really!! What about repairs and service does it cover that!

I know who you are talking about what you didn't get told was the other 8 rural posties that are using them and haven't had major problems It could be a case of these two vans being lemonsImalways suspicious when a near new vehicle is for sale with very low ks on it

Sad Sad read this my man feel for you. You have done the right thing buying another vehicle so life goes on for you, giants like Hyundai play the waiting game as people run out of patience and money and write it off etc. Persue them through small claims would be my advice, don't lie down they have massive resources but will be playing the staunch corporate internal battles with each other in head office imagine it.

I have a Hyundai head on my ute, the motor is similar or same as a 4D56 so you might look at that as a replacement

Update: Hyundai NZ are going to cover costs of all parts, the dealer wants me to pay them $3000 though before they order parts etc i guess to cover labour. Should I be happy with that!I still feel like they did something wrong to stuff the engine anyway after fitting the intercooler.
