Got a car problem with a relatives car:
Hyundai I10 2009 1.2 petrol, very low mileage and usually a little flying machine.
It now appears to be down on power, hills it normally flew up require a drop in gears and it just feels flat but still revs freely and starts ok.
I could liken it to the brakes binding but it rolls freely.
It has had the management light on for a year now, it was coded as a cam sensor, well I think that's what it was but there was never any issue and the advice was just ignore it.
My mechanical knowledge is not too bad but was mostly at a time when cars did not have more electronics than the space shuttle.
I am going to check connections on sensors etc tomorrow, any body got any ideas what else could be worth hitting with a hammer before she gets ripped off by the main dealer.
