2004 Santa Fee AWD 6 cyl -- When moving the Trans. Shifter, it
feels/sounds like its hitting something metal and is hard to move
backward and forwards.
Mileage currently is at 14000 .  Would this problem fall under the

Is there anything else that needs to be put in besides the timing belt
itself? is there a cover gasket that should be replaced or something like a
tensioner? I know on my 300Z they recommend replacing the tensioner pulley
and stud with each belt change.

    Well I attempted today to try to replace my drive axles and
ran into a problem with the lower ball joint. I had thought that I
could use the tie-rod separator tool on the lower ball joint as well.
It turns out that I can not get enough room to put the separator into

My Dutch Hyundai EXCEL 1,3L has a very strange electronical problem,
which occurs regularly, but more often since a week :cry: .
During the ride the engine starts to vibrate more than normally (maybe
due to inefficient combustion????), whereafter the CHECK ENGINE light

i was quoted 550$ for a timing belt change for a 2002 accent.
is this price about right or should i look further.

My check engeine light came on, I have a 02 accecnt with 55k. The oil
levels are fine ( i am slighly over the 3000k mark to changing it, but i
am getting my 60k service done soon so i wanted to wait) overall the car
seems to run fine. SHould I get this checked out, or is it likley ...

I need to move from Colorado to Montreal, Canada. I'll take no
furniture, but a 46" HDTV (150lbs), books (small office - say 5-7 small
shelves of books), clothes. The trailer I'd like to use is the Uhaul 4'
x 6' Trailer (see http://www.uhaul.com/guide/?equipment=trailer4x6). So

about how much should i expect to spend for the 60k timing belt change.?
is it necessaary to change the water pump also.
2002 accent.
also, what do i have to check-change to main the powertrain warranty??

I just bought a 2004 Accent, and when I test drove it there were no lights
on, but two or three days after buying the car, the "OD Off" light is on.
Does anyone know what this means and what I need to do for it?  I didn't
know if this meant Overdrive Off and that my engine is now ...

I have a 2005 Sante Fe LX 4WD.
I would like to be able to select 4WD rather than having the computer do it
"on demand."
Does anyone know how to make this seemingly simple modification?

If you're having your speed set for locking doors bare in mind that the
computer is set to KPH not MPH and if  (in the states) the tech that
does it can't convert it  (or care to) it will be set to KPH.

I just got a new set of Rotors for a 2003 Elantra GLS
and they do not have the screw hole to lock them down,
does anyone know if this is needed?  I've had other cars
which did not screw the rotors on, they what just put in place

After a LOT of different opinions and work, going on months now, after
having the head pulled twice and all sorts of excitement, the car now
runs (sort of).  I took it back finally and decided to check into it
myself.

My rear defroster on my 02 Sonata is not working. There is a wire plug under
my front drivers seat that is not plugged into anything. Could this be the
answer? If not, what is that plug for? I can't find anywhere it  could go,
unless I just did not see it. Thanks in advance!
