Hyundai Getz Intermittent Starting Issue Solved!

We've wrapped up our investigation on this Hyundai Getz's intermittent starting issue. After checking the ignition antenna resistance (which tested completely normal), we pinpointed the root cause to a faulty immobiliser transponder key.
​The diagnostic report has been handed over to the customer, outlining our findings and recommending a new key replacement along with proper key programming to permanently fix the problem.

Hyundai ix35
Stubborn Misfire on a Hyundai ix35? Here’s What We Found!

​We recently tracked down a recurring Cylinder 1 misfire on an ix35. While the ignition coil and spark plug were initially suspect, the true culprit was hiding deeper inside the engine: worn valve stem guides.
​When clearance gets too loose, engine oil is drawn past the guides into the combustion chamber. As that oil burns, it bakes heavy carbon deposits right onto the spark plug—leading to that annoying misfire code.
​The Fix: A top-end refresh including new valve guides, fresh valve stem seals, and a thorough decarbonization to get this engine running smooth and clean again.
​Got a weird engine miss or rough idle giving you grief? Bring it by the workshop and let the team at Launnie Automotive sort it out!

Misfire mystery solved! 🔍🔧
​This Ford Kuga came in with a rough run, and our scan tool pointed straight to a Cylinder No. 4 misfire.
​What we found: Brand new spark plugs with thread damage, and a healthy ignition coil.
​The deeper look: Dropping our inspection camera down the cylinder revealed coolant pooling inside, drowning the spark.
​The root cause: A blown head gasket letting coolant into the combustion chamber.

Engine Light On – Honda Civic Repair
A Honda Civic came into our workshop with the engine warning light on. After scanning the vehicle, we found a fault code for a rocker arm actuator stuck OFF.
🔧 We removed the actuator and found it stuck due to oil sludge buildup. After cleaning and fixing the issue, the system is now working properly and the engine light is gone.
💡 Regular oil changes help prevent sludge and keep engine components working smoothly.
If your engine light is on, get it checked before it becomes a bigger problem.
