litesong -> Smell, MPG & check engine (5/1/2008 5:41:42 AM)
|
My wife's 2008 Hyundai Accent, starting around an odometer reading 1000 miles, had an intermittant smell once in a while, most strong when backing up into the garage. The dealer checked it but found nothing awry. Been waiting for the MPG to rise from the switch-over from lower energy winter mix gas to higher energy summer mix gas, but so far my expectation hasn't happened. Carefully checked MPG from the very beginning. Now my wife's 'check engine' light has come on. I feel like all three mentioned items could be related. We have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow. Does anyone else have information that applies to our situation? Thank you.

P.S....The dealer found that the check engine light came on because my wife didn't screw the gascap tight enough on the gas tank inlet. Oh, well. The MPG is finally starting upward. Instead of 31MPG, the Accent is getting about 34MPG now. The intermittant smell is lessening. Can't believe its some strange 'new car' smell. The Accent runs excellently for my wife. She really loves it.
