Kappa2 Engine Noise

All,

I purchased my i10 Magna Kappa2 in May 2011. Just after running 3000 KMS i noticed that the car engine was making a bit of knocking/rattling sound in 3rd and 4th gear. This was not in low RPM.

I checked with Trident Hyundai in Bangalore and they serviced it 4 times but the problem was not resolved. I then took the step of going to consumer court and then I got a response from the service manager that a person from Hyundai Motors, Chennia named Shiva Kumar wants to take a lookat my car. Post the inspection, he said that the car head seems to be blocked and that the fuel lines should be checked. They took the car and opened the upper part of the engine, cleaned it and delivered it after 5 days. The problem looked resolved. I then ran the vehicle for sometime and the car has not run 12000 kms and the problem has come back. This time on straight roads when the car is in full speed.

I took the car to the same Trident and they are saying that it could be problem with the ECM and they are suggesting me to upgrade the ECM Version (which they are going to do free of cost). I am literally paranoid with this. New car, and all sorts of problems. I read a lot of people with the same complaing on i10 Kappa2 VTVT.

I wrote to Hyundai India but they are lame ducks and are not ready to reply.

Any suggestions Pls.
