- In this video, I go over what it has been like owning this Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Things like reliability, mods I've done, and things that have broke. Also apologies for the wind noise, I have a dead kitten on the way :)

My 2012 N/A has 119,000 miles and it's still going strong. It had some problems when I bought it around 106,000 but I got those sorted out, got all the recall and warranty work done on it and it's been great ever since. An interesting problem mine had that the Hyundai dealer had never seen before was my crank pulley had a chip missing that ended up shredding the serpentine belt into 3 pieces. They caught it right before it snapped because the knock sensor that was under newly extended warranty put the car into limp mode. That knock sensor failure probably saved me even more expensive repairs.
I bought my 2013 Veloster turbo in August 2021 and it only had 73k miles on it and right now I have about 84k on it and it runs really good. I do have a check engine light for the bypass valve, which I’m putting a blow off valve on soon to eliminate that. It’s not a daily driver, though I swap back-and-forth between it and the Silverado. It’s a great little car though and fun to drive.
138K here on a "mostly stock" turbo and still going strong. Manual, of course and I actually know how to drive it. I do 2500-3k a month. Well maintained so I have no worries. I, too got the EVAP code. Bought a new gas cap and... ...golden.
Do you have to service the transmission? Like transmission fluid or somthing like that?
Mr
I have had mine for just over a year.. and had same code.. Mine is strait pipe.. but the previous owner did it. I had 91k miles when I bought it, now it has 102K. I have an AF Intake, and the sound, amazing ..
Thanks for agreat video. i am enjoying my 2014 VET. i think these are this eras "DSM"
Was that evap code "incorrect purge flow" ? I've been trying to fix it on my 2016 VT for a while now, I've replaced the charcoal canister/purge control valve/pcv valve/HOSE-CANISTER TO CCV hose/pcv hose and still getting the pesky code(yes i know how to attempt to clear DTC codes) curious to know thanks.
Hi, I'm glad you brought up that fuel smell. I have a 2012 veloster, no codes, and changed the gas cap twice, but I still have gas smell by the fuel cap. I don't see leaks, I have to inspect it. But it sounds like this is a known issue for this vehicle. Have you found the source of the fuel smell or fix?
Can you turn on and off the sound? I've been wanting to do something like this but I could get in trouble with the cops there are some laws against loud exhaust where I live. So I'd need to be able to turn it off at the push of a button
is this a short ram or cold air on the intake? also sick build!
idk the exact millage but mines around 177k. its had some minor problems. but so far so good...Minnesota some rust damage here and there. I wouldnt call it reliable nor the opposite its in this weird middle ground and i don't know if i absolutely love it or hate it sometimes.
How is it living in flagstaff? Thinking about moving there
What year is your veloster?
I'm at 187k miles. I purchased the car with 90k originally and i haven't too many issues other than needing coil packs when i first got it. As im typing this im having some suspension work done to my car like CV intermediate axle and sway bar end link replacement on stock suspension other than a rear torison bar and strut brace. Al far as mods i have a magnaflow catback exhaust with a piercemotorsports catless down pipe and a vibrant bottle style resonator. I also have a add w1 single oil catch can, a 60 mm tb from a elantra i think it was, Injen sri, and a turbo xs bov
What year is this car?
2 years, and less miles than most drivers get in 1 year (US average is 12,600) and your posting a video about ownership experience?
My VT got 120k still going strong with air intake, tune, etc. It pulls hard lol
Is it still pulling ??😭
158k on my NAV standard. Only work I've had to do so far was replacing the clutch master cylinder, and a rubber bushing for that stupid steering clunk.
She drives like I remember off the lot, this transmission is somethin man
Sorry for posting a second comment but what is a "shift boot kit"?
A shift boot and knob lol
i have a 2013 veloster turbo automatic recently bought used. it has 110k miles on the dash and idk what mods have been done to it if any (i do know there is some aftermarket stuff but this is my first turbo car and i’m using it to commute 😅) if there’s any tips on how i can make it last i’d appreciate any words of advice
I would just keep up on the maintenance. Oh and drive it like a Grandma if you want to make it last. Bought mine fully stocked off a Grandma at 30kmiles so i know it was taken care of and driven properly. Im at 170k now and only had minor repairs. Like $200-400 total in repair cost over 5-6 years. I drive it most of the time 80mph max on freeway but every once in a while I go faster
How did the Hyundai DCT hold up?
Yooo we are literally almost in the same boat 😂😂😂 I have a 170k+ velo. I learned by deleting the muffler I get some nice burbles on a downshift
what year is this one?
Mine popped the evap code it fixed itself in the spring..
117k 2016 base DCT. Engine replaced (threw a rod at 68k), trans replaced (dual clutch assembly crapped out at 95k, replaced whole trans because that was cheaper), gone through 2 batteries, 1 set of front calipers, 2 alternators, 3 fan blower motors, torque strut, and now needs new exhaust manifold/cat and flexpipe. Trying to get her to 200k, despite all the heartache she's given me I'm emotionally attached 😂😭
(Stock besides Injen short ram air intake btw)
12 base veloster 145k miles feels like whoever had it before treated it like crap
I think these get a bad rep because people who buy these drive them like race cars at every red or every stop sign. I have a 2016 Velsoter Turbo with 64k, stage 1 tune, basic bolt ons, Borla cat back exhaust (I forgot to put one of the prongs in the rubber garment so it vibrates some times oops). Also have an oil catch but don't ever get much blow by. Ever 3k oil changes there is like .5 of a tea spoon. On top of that I weigh my oil after ever oil change and I basically loose nothing. Equals to maybe .5 of a qt which could still be in the engine. Oh and I changed the trans oil at 55k. This car has been so easy to work on and zero check engine lights (other than when I installed a new BOV, one of the hoses kept popping off so it would get low turbo warning). I am the second owner and Ive had it since 2019. going to run her till it stops!!
Have you got the dct?
Is that a 2.0 T?
It’s a 1.6T
I have a 2012 hyundai veloster,manual transmission, natural aspirated engine. just hit to 270,000 miles, it is burning oil, but the engine is still working fine. bought it brand new, just have to maintain it. eventually will do a rebuild
What oil do you use in it?
@@Diode7 , 0w20 full synthethic from costco
My 2017 just broke 100,000... Might be the lowest mileage Veloster around! 😆😬
242,000 on my 2012 Base Veloster
The 2018's and newer last MUCH longer than the pre-facelift models. It's more surprising if yours DOESN'T get to 200,000 without serious issue.
@@Caffeinated-DaVinci must have mistyped something my V is a 2012 standard transmission model.
@@robbietheriot have you ever changed the clutch?
@@charlsalvs9394 I have not and i know the previous owner did not. Not sure what happened before that. I do know the suspension has been replaced in the last 100k
What parts did u have to change out to get to 240k miles?
I would never mod my cars engine too risky
😂
Veloster are Honda civics ???? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
He said aren’t
lmao my 15 VT has been an absolute nightmare to deal with and it only has 82k
What’s been wrong with it?
@@OfficialNice It seems like it's a specific car thing, not across all VTs.. But it has had a random misfire for the last few months, and no one can figure it out... And it's on engine #3 at 88k miles now
@@georgyk9611 sounds like ignition coil, mine went at 40k miles they are very bad on the VT, you can diag by your self, check out a video on unplugging them one by one by the primary power, If the engine sound/ speed does not change, your coil is shot.
Id also look into getting a compression test, if it’s not spark related
@@georgyk9611 also if you haven’t already yet you should change your spark plugs, check out the owners manual for recommend maintenance per mileage /age
How has your car lasted 170,000 miles automatic without needing an entire transmission and clutch pack rebuild!? Those dct transmissions are made out of rubber bands
2013 turbo had torque converter, not dct
@@dorkvader1881 why the switch???, the 2016 model with the dct is an awful set up. I had a 2016 veloster turbo for 4years I replaced the transmission, clutch pack and still was making rattling noises. Hyundai makes great cars but I will never own one again.
I have 220k on mine
