tell them they talk through their arse.hyundai tell dealers specific guidelines on what they do.if your aircon needs regassing its faulty.it doesnt so its not.they cannot tell you not to fit other wheels its got nothing to do with the warranty unless something you do damages the car in which case they wont repair that item under warranty-eg your wheels cause a suspension failure.saying as your in manchester why not ring TWG at northwich and have a day out in northwich.they are miles better and les and co dont have a go at modified cars.they are sound,not mega expensive and reliable and will give you a hire car.01606 44624 tell them darren told you.they are sound with forum members

In my experience (and I used to work for Hyundai the manufacturer remember) almost all dealers are utter t*ssers who have little, or no grasp of the product or brand.

The manager cannot invalidate the warranty, only Hyundai UK can do that. He can only report his findings and make a suggestion.

In October 2003 a European law was passed changing Block Exemption regulations, thus ending the manufacturers insistance that servicing must be carried out by their dealer network to maintain warranty validity. As long as it's not "Fred in the shed" or "the Mitchell brothers, under the arches" and genuine parts, or their OEM equivalent are used there can be no problem.

Flushes can be useful and have a part to play (I use them sometimes) but your vehicle is too new to really need them.

The refridgerant in an air conditioning system has a special oil mixed in with it. Part of its job is to keep the seals moist and retain joint integrity. If you don't use the aircon the seals can shrink and gas will escape. A system only needs to lose 25% of its charge to stop working. So an annual aircon service isn't unreasonable.

Hope this helps.

Cheers for the responses guys, I knew they were talking crap but just felt like I was getting a telling off like a school kid . Wanted to see what you lot thought of it.

Darren- thanks for the number and I shall use them next year, only sticking with manchester at the min is the service is free as part of the deal I got when I bought the car .

Sharky & scout- thanks that info is very helpful will keep it in mind

Stopher- I remember you saying about the 2nd service when I met you and how they were not bothered about the induction kit on yours so thought everything would be ok. Still havnt bought the kit yet for myself though.

As ive had nothing to do today I changed the alloys back this morning to standard so they dont moan, and when i take the coupe there on friday I can have a moan to them about the laquer peeling off the front wheels and the hub rusting where the alloy meets the hub (very wierd). Get my own back
