At 5,000 miles/year a diesel isn't suitable and may start giving expensive problems - but switching cars will always cost money - you should look seriously at selling both and getting an EV.

Thank you RT, your wise words are much appreciated. You are right to point out that continuing to run the SF under these conditions is asking for trouble. I must have either been lucky or Hyundai designed and screwed together a very reliable product, perhaps a bit of both. As to your sound recommendation of an EV replacement, it will need to support a monthly weekend round trip of 218 miles, which the destination currently does not offer a charging point and also needs to include the ability to transport a Mountain E-bike inside the cabin. Any suggestion would be most welcome.

I can recommend Gendan's products but they aren't cheap

Hello All,

I do have the basic ELM327 type OBD2 reader to check basis sensor data and reset codes.

But looking for something more capable to be able to do things like code diesel injectors and stuff.

I do have a friend with TopDon's Topscan dongle that can code the injectors for me this time round, but am considering getting a similarly capable programming tool myself. The thing with Topscan after buying the dongle then you have to have the Pro subscription for $99/year in order to have full access. And I'm barely likely to use it again in a years time.

Are there any not too expensive alternative programing tools that wouldn't need a subscription?
What do you guys use for your Hyundais?

Had my I30 SE Nav CRDi for 8 1/2 years.  Have had no need or inclination to use an injector cleaner.  Never had and have had no issues with them.  Only problem in starting the car, was with the battery, which required replacing two years ago.
