  1. Veloster Turbo Problems / Help
    Maybe the wrong thread. My 2014 VT burns an excessive amount of oil. Sometimes a quart in 100 miles, and sometimes not for 1000 miles. I’ve changed the PCV Valve. No luck. It’s fouling spark plugs left and right. I’m currently at 95k miles. With me being the third owner I’m not sure what they’d...

    I am wondering if anyone has had this issue before? I am going to pressure test the coolant system, do a compression/leakdown test, ect. at work on Monday either way to find the issues exact point. Complete speculation but I'm guessing either its going to be turbo seals or head gasket but we...

    Well im currently chasing a noise in the suspension and decided its time to change the oil while im at it. Quite a surprise when i found a good amount of oil on the underside of the car and on the oil filter. Looks like its coming from above the oil filter. Heres the thing though....i have not...

    I was looking for some input on what is the best gasket maker out there for the oil pan. I bought the oil pan extender (Tork) second hand, but the kit did not include any gasket maker. I have done some research and I came across the Loctite Gasket Maker 518, but I don't know if it is resistant...

    And they do it with this.... "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20 for Direct Injection Turbo Gasoline Engines" I know, I know....it's the wrong viscosity for us (5W-30 or 5W40, per the manual). But if your past your warranty, or have a built motor after blowing yours and being denied warranty...
  8. Veloster Maintenance
    I did an oil change last week and I have drove the car since. There hasn't been any oil deposits on the ground (and it did sit for three days straight in the same spot), but I decided to take a look just to see if everything was clean and noticed some oil on the outside of the filter. I don't...
  9. Veloster Turbo Problems / Help
    This issue may have come up in other posts but I didn't find the answers I needed. I purchased an R-spec and realized that it didn't have a jack in the trunk. Its odd, but, I didn't mind since I have a floor jack. I have jack stands and I know where to put them, but the main problem I am having...

    It seems like the majority of you guys are agreeing that the car is taking considerably less oil then what the manual states. I however, since purchasing the car have been following the manual and using 4.8 quarts of oil and completely puzzled by this. I did an oil change tonight, lifted my car...

    So I have noticed, probably due to cold weather, that the shifter can be difficult to engage. What I mean is that when you shift in any gear, the engine slows down at about the same rate as a Mack truck, or possibly more like a diesel ship engine, so if you are trying to engage the shifter into...

    I just did the first oil change on my 2013 Turbo Veloster. I pulled the plug and filter and let sit 45 minutes to drain. I put a new filter on and added 4.8 quarts per the manual. It states 4.8 quarts for the Turbo GDI and 3.8 for the GDI. When I checked the dipstick, it was measuring about...

    A buddy of mine recommended zMAX Engine Lubricant to be added the engine oil whenever the oil is changed. They also offer additives for the transmission, and fuel injectors too. I haven't used them before, but it sounds interesting to me. Anyone have any experience with their products? Can...
