Hyundai Problems

It shouldn't be a big deal to massage the headrest to your requirements. Any mechanic should be able to do it for you.

Obviously the genuine wiper blades work so that’s what you should fit. If your service centre won’t get them go somewhere else. As for the headlights blowing that could because the place you’re using is fitting poor quality globes as well as crook wiper blades. I would take your car to a Hyundai dealer and have them check your car.

You could use E10 ethanol blend fuel in both of your cars; you could also use regular 91 in them if you wanted.

The car is just 18 months old and is still under warranty, so stick with the dealer. Going away from the dealer will only complicate matters down the track if you ever have to make a warranty claim, no matter how good your mechanic is. Be persistent in seeking a resolution to your problem and don't be fobbed off.

The battery won’t affect it, neither will the starter motor, but new leads and fresh fuel are always worth doing. You could also replace the spark plugs and the coil, and perhaps check the crank angle sensor.

It's not possible to say absolutely that you will get another 90,000 km out of your car, that would take it to almost 300,000 km, which is a lot of kays by any measure. But as the car has given you no trouble to date, I would think you could reasonably expect it to keep on going for some time yet.

Your mechanic could apply some anti-rattle grease to the back of the pads that could well stop the rattle.

It’s generally done in these situations because it has to be removed to replace the water pump anyway, which makes it a convenient and cost-effective time to do it. The fact that it was done 35,000 km ago might make you question the need to do it again so soon, so have the mechanic check it and if it appears in good condition perhaps replace it, but I would err on the side of caution and replace it anyway.
