Details: Hyundai ix35 DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Replaced the firmware with ADACT. The car has not only become better, it is simply unrecognizable. There are also changes on the track, but there it became only a little better. But the changes in the city are very significant. As if the car became lighter by 300 kilograms. Traction from standstill and uphill at low revs like on a diesel engine. Less often, a downshift is required. Consumption by measurements, both by the on-board computer and by gas stations, with a quiet ride fell by about 1-1.5 liters. In terms of horses, the increase is small: a total of 165 hp. instead of 150 and something around 220 Nm of torque.
After installing new brake discs, old rusty calipers did not give rest to their appearance at all. Therefore, I decided to paint them, and at the same time the brake disc itself, namely the part of it that is not involved with the pads (because they were not painted from the factory and would have rusted over time). I bought for this a special heat-resistant silver enamel and a rust converter.
He took off all 4 wheels at once, put the car on the bricks. I cleaned the calipers with a rough metal brush, then processed it with a converter.
I have long wanted to replace the brake discs, because my relatives were completely rusty and beat a little when braking. Winter has passed, and I decided to pick out the rust from the ends. And it fell off in such large pieces and in some places the disc rotted up to the working part, where the block rubs ((((Urgently change!
It's a shame, given that their wear was, in principle, minimal. Stupidly rotted from the Moscow road chemistry. Brake discs and pads were supplied by all Sangsin Brake / hi-Q (front discs SD1005, rear discs SD1052). Now I also plan to paint the brake calipers with silver paint.

On January 28, 2018, another TO-4 passed, the mileage was 54,200, and only 9500 km were driven in a year. The car is 4 years old, during the operation I did only scheduled maintenance, nothing rattles or creaks. The hodovka is all normal, the stands are dry. The mood immediately lifted, no additional investments are needed yet.
I am writing point number one in advance for any haters - YES, the mileage for the age of the machine is small, because it has already been a few years before work that it has become very close to driving))
The regular electric heating of the passenger compartment clearly does not cope with its task. The diesel engine takes too long to warm up the interior in winter. I got tired of such a winter layout, so in the fall I took advantage of the official webasta promotion and put EVO-5 Start at the normal price tag (25 thousand rubles for the webasta, plus 10 thousand for installation work, plus 2 thousand for connecting to the signaling).
On January 8, 2017, another TO-3 took place, mileage 45 thousand km.
There is nothing special to write, except that nothing has changed in a year, nothing has broken, not a single light bulb has burned out.
The car continues to delight. Good luck to everyone on the road.
Hello everyone!! Well, now there is a reason to supplement the review. The addition is connected exclusively with the winter period. Moreover, the winter now seems to be serious, in any case, the beginning went right off the bat. Naturally, it will be about replacing the battery. In fact, the first hints appeared at the end of last winter, when it was not possible to start the car after visiting the store. Then it was 25 degrees, arrived without question, and the car refused to start back. And it happens as follows - the brake pedal is not pressed, as if something is frozen and prevents it from failing as usual.
The main thing is that the owner of the car survived and did not lose the desire to drive it further after the repair. The mileage is small, 2012 release ...
I got a car without a bumper, apparently it was blown off by a blow.
He began to disassemble - the trunk lid and bumper for replacement, the floor of the trunk - too.
Partially change the spar, such a fold cannot be straightened.
The rear suspension is slightly deployed, about 1-1.5 cm, the left wheel in front of the right.
You don't want to change the inner left mudguard, he knows where he is getting in. I will correct the fold.
With the back panel, everything is clear.
The rear left door is clamped tightly, at least the front door opens well.
I fix the car on the stand and start stretching the body by the rear panel and the spar.
