Hyundai Exter spare part cost

Maintaining Hyundai cars is usually quite affordable, and the spare parts for Exter are just as reasonably priced. The best part for Hyundai Exter owners is that the spares are also easy to find.

Even so, knowing the cost of these spare parts can help you plan your service visits more effectively. Below is a quick breakdown of the costs associated with the parts that typically require replacement during routine servicing.

Hyundai Exter maintenance cost

Just as the Hyundai Exter is easy on the pocket, so is its maintenance. When you look into its yearly maintenance cost, you will need to take a couple of factors into consideration:

• Usage
• Driving style

CNG models usually cost slightly more to maintain because they require more frequent spark plug and filter changes. But, even then, the maintenance cost remains pretty pocket-friendly.

Tips to Maintain Your Hyundai Exter

Regular servicing is important when it comes to maintaining your Hyundai Exter. However, there is something else that you need to do, which is just as important: routine care.

Performing basic checks plays a significant role in how your car performs over time. Here are a few tips that can help:

General care

A bit of regular attention can help you catch issues early and keep your Exter running comfortably day after day.

• Follow Hyundai’s recommended service schedule, even if your Exter feels absolutely fine or you don’t drive it often. The schedule can be found in the owner’s manual, or you can contact a Hyundai service centre for clear details.
   
• Check essential fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, washer fluid, and brake fluid, every few weeks to ensure they are at the correct level.
   
• Never ignore warning lights on the dashboard. They are a sign that something needs to be checked right away.
   
• Pay attention to unusual noises, vibrations, or changes in the car's handling. These small signs often appear before a part wears out completely.

Engine care

What the heart is to the human body, the engine is to the car. That's why it's necessary to give priority to your Exter's engine so that the car stays smooth, efficient, and dependable in the long run.

• Check coolant, brake fluid, and engine oil levels regularly to avoid overheating or sudden performance drops.
   
• Always use Hyundai-recommended engine oil and change it on schedule; clean oil helps keep the engine healthy and reduces wear.
   
• Replace spark plugs and air filters according to schedule to ensure proper combustion and good performance.
   
• Let the engine warm up for a few seconds before driving off to help the oil circulate properly.
   
• If you drive a CNG variant, keep an eye on spark plug condition and air filter cleanliness, as CNG engines require a bit more care.

Driving habits

Simple adjustments to your driving habits can significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs.

• Avoid harsh acceleration and sudden braking. This protects your engine, brakes, and tyres from unnecessary strain.
   
• Try to avoid relying on frequent short trips, as the engine doesn’t get enough time to warm up properly, which can lead to carbon buildup.
   
• Maintain a steady speed whenever possible. Constant speed changes can affect the engine, clutch, and brake pads.
   
• Slow down on rough patches, potholes, or speed breakers; it helps protect the suspension and underbody.
   
• Don’t overload the car with unnecessary weight. It affects mileage, acceleration, and overall handling.

Tyre care

The tyres matter more than you think; after all, they are the only part of your car that is in contact with the road. Maintaining them is crucial for optimal mileage, braking distance, and overall safety.

• Check tyre pressure regularly. Driving with low tyre pressure affects mileage and causes the tyres to wear out much faster.
   
• Make it a habit to inspect the sidewall for small cracks, cuts, or bulges. Catching these early prevents sudden tyre issues later.
   
• Rotate the tyres according to Hyundai’s schedule to ensure they wear evenly and last longer.
   
• If your Exter starts pulling slightly to one side or you feel vibrations at certain speeds, get the wheel alignment and balancing checked.
   
• Slow down for potholes, speed breakers, and rough patches. Hard impacts can damage both the tyre and the alloy.
   
• Replace the tyres when the tread becomes too shallow; worn tyres reduce grip, especially in wet conditions.
   
• Clean the wheels and tyres regularly to remove mud and debris that can build up and cause uneven wear.

Interior care

A clean and well-maintained cabin keeps your Hyundai Exter feeling fresh and comfortable.

• Avoid eating or drinking inside the car, as it can lead to spills and stains which can be difficult to remove.
   
• Clean any food or liquid spills immediately using car-safe cleaning products and a soft cloth.
   
• Try not to smoke in the car as it could leave a lingering smell.
   
• Vacuum the seats and floor mats regularly as dust builds up quickly.
   
• Clean the AC vents often and replace the cabin filter during service to maintain good airflow and prevent musty smells.
• Use sunshades when parking outdoors to protect the dashboard and upholstery from sun damage.

Exterior care

The Exter’s SUV-inspired design looks its best when the exterior is well-maintained.

• Wash your Exter regularly to remove dirt, bird droppings, and mud that can damage the paint.
   
• Apply wax every few months to protect the paint and maintain that clean, shiny look.
   
• Repair small scratches or paint chips promptly to prevent rusting, especially in humid environments.
   
• Replace your wiper blades annually to prevent streaking and protect your windshield from scratches.
   
• Inspect the underbody for mud deposits during the monsoon season to prevent rust.
   
• Park in the shade or use a car cover to prevent paint fading and heat damage.
   
• Keep headlights and taillights clean, as dirty lamps reduce visibility and can affect safety at night.
