Hi guys,

Im new to these forums and also to Hyundai.

Ok I purchased a Hyundai 2.7 V6 52 reg coupe with 55,000miles about 3 weeks ago. I have noticed a couple of things:

1) The exhaust pops and sounds like "bub bub bub bub" quite loud when cooling down, Also when sitting at lights I can hear it from the underneath of the car sometimes.

2) Does the coupes exhaust always smoke quite alot during the cold weather. Mine does not let out to much smoke on a normal dry day, But boy as soon as it rains or is really cold it smokes like a trooper for ages (not just when starting up and for the first 10 mins)
Today I had the engine checked for compression and they said it was fine. I had the coolent levels checked and apparently they are fine. There is no sign of oil in the water or water in the oil.
The car has just had a service and a cambelt change.

After i purchased the car the engine managment light come on and off, I got the reading code of P1166 the o2 Sensor on bank1.
The garage today though put it on the ramps and noticed a small leak from the exhaust downpipe(which they have now sealed) They said before spending £100- £150 on a new sensor it may have been the leak in the exhaust causing the error code to read due to it chucking out the ECU.
The car only passed an MOT 3 weeks ago and the Emmisions were fine.

Any advise is very welcome before a visit to Hyundai ::)

Thanks

Stu
