when it runs for about an hour or so, the temperature gauge (next to
spedometer) looks like it gets real warm (above hot) and the littlle
oil light faintly flashes.  and the engine makes weird noises (sound

Just pulled into a petrol station today, went to open the fuel flap
and... nothing happened. The little lever by the driver's seat is not
opening it. Anyone else had this problem? Easy to fix?
Many thanks

I saw back in June someone talking about engine oil change intervals and
everything was discussed EXCEPT..I usually put about 2-3000 miles per oil
change on my 03 Elantra, but it sometimes sits in the garage for 2 months
at a time while I am out of town. Here's what bugs me. the 6 ...

I went nuts when national news 7/5 on every station was talking about
the Kia Sportage & Hyundai Tucson as very poor in protecting from
whiplash & spinal injuries.  When I bought the Tucson Premium Package
on 3/1/07, I read their ad stating it was rated at the top on all

My friend just bought a used car about 5 hours ago. And check engine
light is on just now. He turned the engine off and on but it is still
on. It just came out tonight. That vehicle was sold "as it is". is
there any legal protection in this case? The problem occurs not even

when can I get a repair manual (Haynes, Chilton) for 2002 Sonata?
at reasonable price.
Just bought that car and cannot find it anywhere.
thanks

Good morning group,
I woke up and went off to work to see fluid leakage on the driveway.
I looked under the car and it appears to be coming from the lower
radiator hose. From what I can tell it's either right at the nipple

A scraping noise developed in my right rear wheel. It is intermittent.
Pulsating as the wheel turns. wonk, wonk, wonk
The rotor seemed warmer than the others.
I went to the dealer, they did a brake job and replace both rotors. Same

I live in Las Vegas and our temps have been in the 100teens for the past 2
weeks, well last night my wife callsme from work and says her 2003 Santa Fe
wont start, all it does is click. I told her it was probably the battery
cause of the heat and told her I would be right down. I ...

I've been all through the Hyundai web site and can't find much of anything
other than a location picture.  Maybe its so simple to replace it doesn't
need documentation?  (yea, right - dream on).  Can someone help me out?
Speedometer is now not working and check engine light is on ...

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what Sonata V6 5-speed auto
tranny's are doing. Quite a few people (on another forum) notice that
the tranny feels like it's dragging, almost like it drops into gear
when you coast. Mind you, it's subtle, not a harsh deceleration like

My first Hyundai was a 1987 Excel, but had it only a few months - Now
I'm thinking of getting a 2007 Accent - Manual Transmission - no frills
model just for local school commute for the kids. Any good/bad words on
this model before I sign on the bottom line ?

I was listening to the radio this morning and there was an advertising
promo show from World Kia here in Las Vegas. The main theme
of the program (other than selling Kia's), was that Kia was the
premium brand, outdoing the Hyundai as far as luxury and quality.

The speedometer in my Sante Fe is off by about 5 MPH, at any speed above 15
MPH.  If it says 40, the car is going 35.  If it says 80, the car is going
74-75.  I know this by using a GPS, and even the 'your speed' signs the
police put up reflect this.  And this isn't a big deal.

My out-of-warrenty 2002 XG350's speedometer quit working on the way home
from work the other day.  All of a sudden it was reading 0 mph.  The tach
was still working, and the car seemed to be running fine.  After noticing
this, I was just about to engage the cruise control to see ...
