@Glos-Guy When first firing of the engine in winter to heat the cabin, it can tickover at 1400rpm unless I give a quick blip of the peda, like an auto choke on first start, it then settles at 1100rpm to provide heat regardless of fan speed. I run on auto 1 fanspeed 1 or 2 and preheat the car prior to going out in winter, to help with Raynauds.
It’s widely noted on forums the engines starts to loosen up between 7.5 – 10k miles on the 1.6tdgi engine across the range.
As in my previous comment, I wish it had more EV range (a) it would help with overall economy and (b) you wouldn’t always have the need to charge the dam every day. Hyundai made a mistake here when facelifting the car and tweaking the engines but, left the battery size untouched.
