Seeking Advice on Diagnosing and Fixing Issues with a 2011 Hyundai i10: Check Engine Light, Engine Shutoff, and Power Loss
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Hyundai i10 is experiencing issues with a constantly illuminated check engine light, random engine shutoff, power loss, unsteady engine, jerking on acceleration, poor gas mileage, and shaking while idling. The suspected cause is a problem with the crankcase ventilation. A similar case with a Hyundai Getz was resolved by addressing the crankcase ventilation issue, but other potential causes like a dirty throttle body were also suggested. The car owner plans to take the vehicle to a mechanic for diagnosis and will consider these possibilities during the inspection.

Hi! Thanks for your reply! I haven't got any diagnostics done yet but planning to take my i10 to the garage this week. It's currently clocked 71058 KM. I tend to service it on time, latest was a month back. Let's see what the mechanic says. Will update you once I get the diagnosis. Cheers!

Hey! No worries! With that mileage, these problems can start to surface. Good call on deciding to get a diagnosis, as these symptoms can be caused by various potential issues beyond just the crankcase ventilation. For instance, my Getz had a similar mileage when it started jerking on acceleration. Turned out, it was due to the throttle body needing a good clean up. So, there might be multiple factors at play for you. Guess we'll only know once the mechanic gets a good look. Eagerly waiting for your update. Fingers crossed it's an easy and inexpensive fix! Cheers!

Hi there, Absolutely, these things can get complex pretty fast. I didn't consider the throttle body, thanks for pointing it out. Working on cars is not really my forte, so I'll definitely bring up these issues with my mechanic. I love this little car and I'm hoping for an easy solution too. Really appreciate your help! Will keep you posted. Cheers!

Hey! I experienced a similar situation with my 2009 Hyundai Getz, so maybe my response can give you some ideas. I'm not a mechanic, but I've got some experience with car issues. I took my Getz to a local garage when it started showing similar symptoms. They did a bunch of tests and discovered it was indeed a crankcase ventilation issue. I ended up shelling out 360€ to get that sorted. Did you get any diagnostics done? What's the mileage on your i10? The more details you provide, the better I might be able to help. Cheers!
