Seeking Advice for 2013 Hyundai i30: Dim Lights and Weak Battery Startup Issues

Dim or flickering lights

Weak battery when starting the engine

Hey everyone, I'm struggling with my 2013 Hyundai i30, Gas engine. Recently, the lights dim or flicker and the battery is feeble during start-up. I suspect a battery sensor glitch. Anyone experienced the same and got it sorted out in the workshop? I'd appreciate specific insights or tips to understand and fix the issue. Thanks!

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2011 Hyundai i20, Diesel engine. Honestly, I only have some experience with cars, so I needed some help too. Turned out to be a defective battery sensor microprocessor, which cost me about 315€ to get fixed at my local workshop. They dealt with it professionally and I was back on the road in no time! Sounds like your problem might be similar. For a detailed solution, could you provide more specifics about your vehicle? Engine type, mileage etc. might help. Wish you the best!

Cheers for your response! My i30's covered a mileage of around 51,207KM. Also, can't remember when the last service was done, it's been a while. On the engine, it's a gasoline one. Based on your experience, looks like I should head to the workshop. Appreciate your help!

Hey again! Thanks for the additional info. Your situation does sound pretty similar to what I went through. With around the same mileage, I'd say the battery sensor could indeed be the culprit. With these signs, it's better to get it looked at sooner rather than later. I'd recommend taking it into a Hyundai workshop if you have one fairly nearby. The peace of mind is worth it knowing they specialize in the brand. Just be aware it might be a bit more expensive, but also better assurance it's handled properly. And don't sweat about the cost too much. My repair wasn't cheap but I think of it as an investment. You rely on your car, right? Best to keep her humming along smoothly. Hope that helps, and good luck getting your i30 back in peak condition!

You're absolutely right! It's all about the peace of mind and yes, my car is essential, hence, worth that expenditure. Seems I'll have to make a trip to the Hyundai workshop soon. I'm feeling more prepared to handle this issue, thanks to your insight. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience! Keep safe on the road and take care!
