Santa Fe '03 2.7 Litre motor, to get to the back plugs must remove the

what the torque specs might be.  I could not find anything about ...

'07 Sonata with heated seats.  Once switched on, they remain in the "on"
position even if you shut the car off and later re-start it. Is than normal?
they also operate when the engine is not running as long as the ignition

Are there any great reasons for using Hyundai oil filters instead of generic
types?  Anything truly remarkable about the Hyundai ones?

I don't know if you can help me with this question but here goes. I'v
got a 2003 GLS with sunroof. Unfortunately, the map light switche

I have a 2004 Elantra Gt hatchback that didn't
have a rear shelf (cover) when a purchased the

I recently purchaseda 98 elantra with 104k from the original owner. The  
car has been sitting for a little over a year with a dead transmission

Just bought a 2001
Accent GS, found out it needs Struts and

One of my backup sensors is bad.  I had the van to the dealer yesterday and
after two hours, they came out to tell me that there appeared to be a

So who has been to one?  The new Hyundai Hellion is a star so far.
Great space on the front page of the Auto Section of the Cleveland

No need to pay the $30 from a dealer.  My local locksmith charge $3 for a
key.  He did not have the HY15 blank, so he modified an HY12 blank.  It is a
solid metal key, no fat plastic, making it ideal for the wallet.

OK, two questions about the tuneup on my wife's '03 Santa Fe (60 k miles).
1) Should I put any anti-seize on the plug threads?  The instructions from
Hyundai didn't say so... but didn't say not to.  For now I didn't put any on

2007 Accent for my wife and it seems to me that the valve-train is
kind of noisey, at least somewhat louder than I'm used to with my
