Hyundai says that for the first time, its 2008 Sonata sedan will be
offered with a ...

Now that the Sonata engines use Timing chains (with tensioners) and Variable
valve timing, is there any issue with the extended oil (regular, non-severe)
change interval?  I am assuming that these are hydraulic actuated.  Do you
think that this may be an concern as these engines ...

I recently changed the timing belt and the three accessory belts in my
'04 Elantra GT (60K miles). I used an OEM timing belt, but I used Dayco
belts with cross grooves for the other three. I'm noticing a fair amount
of "belt whine" (not slippage) when I blip the throttle with the ...

Reference my 3.3L Korean built Sonata. Built Nov 1 2006.
I've been reading on another forum about aluminium particle contamination in
the coolant.

I have a 2002 Elantra VE in Canada that's got a fairly constant rattle
that seems to be coming from the rearview mirror mount (when I hold it
firmly in my hand, the rattle goes away).  Is there any way to fix
it?  It looks like there's some connection, probably with a bolt, from

I have a firend who needs new tires for her 2003 Santa Fe. What do
folks here recommend, based on their experiences? Is there agreement
in this group on which tire(s) are best? We're talking about a 4x4 in
the New York metro area. Some snow driving, but no off-roading.

The back glass lift support cartridges in our '02 SF have lost their
will to live.  Does anyone know if that's covered by warranty?  If
not, I've found replacements online, but is that a EZ-to-moderate DIY
project?

Seems like a general search turns up a bunch of online wholesalers but
they suspiciously have the exact same web site layout and menu system.
Anyone know where to buy new quality front and rear rotors for an 02
Sonata? Maybe even decent ceramic brakes too? Tirerack seems to have

Hi, I have a strange problem with my accent GSI 2002. My dash
trunk open light and my trunk lamp are always on. But the strange
part
is that vwhen I press the break. The both lamp goes off. If I release

This is probably a very generic type of device, but the thing (the cable)
that pulls my passenger window up and down broke... There were some plastic
pieces in the bottom of the door, and the cable just gets all tangled.
I remember this being an overly-expensive repair...

I am getting ready to ditch my POS Chevy Malibu.  Always had problems
with the AC (Not good in S. florida).
Am seriously looking at a Tucson  ;  Probably 2006.  Does anyone know
when the 08's come out. I probably can then afford an '07.

Hi....My 04 Sonata has a mouldy rotty type of smell when I first start
it,.....after the AC has been on for a short time, the smell goes away....Is
it maybe mildew or something in the air system?  What can be done besides
just masking it with an air-freshener?

I have a 3.3L V6 engine in my Sonata filled with normal mineral oil.
I purchased the car brand new 4 months ago here in the UK and have done 2500
miles.
I thought it would be a good idea to change oil after the break-in period.

Just took 23 hour road trip in my 06 Sonata LX with 30,000 miles on it. I
have taken 5 or 6 trips in this car and it has performed flawless. I
averaged 27.6 MPG this trip. I drove with the cruise set on 80 mph most of
the time.(trip computer had average speed of 72) The best mpg ...

   I asked my service adviser the approximate cost for the 15k service. He
told me $455.00 plus tax. Is it me or is that excessive. Granted I'm in NJ
and all but seems high to me. What do you think?
Thanks
