Replying to: 100356syl (May 28, 2005 10:35 am) Then get under your car and check for leaks, the oil filter may be loose, so if it's dripping from your oil filter tighten it up. Or is it's not been changed for more than a year, change you're filter, the rubber gasket may be perished that seals it flush to you're engine. I managed to change my oil filter without having to drain the oil, but have a large pan ready for any oil that may drain out with removal of the filter.....if it needs changing. Or it may be the sump nut that's loose and needs tightening, the nut that you remove when draining the oil. Could be you're rings that are worn out, letting more oil than there should be to leak into the engine and get burnt. Is there blue smoke coming out of your exhaust? Oil gets burnt in the the engine naturally, every time youre engine turns over some oil gets pumped in to lubricate the pistons so they can move up and down easily, there's always some oil left in the engine chambers, hence some oil will get burnt naturally in a 'healthy' engine. Upto one litre every 1,500 miles is ok, but saying that my car gets through nothing like that, about 3/4 litre a year. Hope that's some help! |

Replying to: benricks (May 23, 2005 6:27 am) The pictures of the new Accent look pretty sweet for an entry level vehicle. I am also not aware of another sub-compact with 6 standard airbags. They say the price will remain close to the same but I figure it will go up just a bit. Now some of you may go up in arms over a price increase but why wouldn't you wanna pay just a little bit more for a much improved entry level vehicle. Hyundai is on the right track, faster than most really. Are you gonna catch the train? |

Question about the 2005 Accent-- Does the GLS with base package come with a tach and a clock yet? I'm budgeting to finance a new '05 next year (when the dealers will want to push them) and I just wanted to know if the '05 base models still have that "cell phone pouch." Let me know... thanks. |

Paul: The base car is not dubbed "GLS", Just plain ole' Accent, at least that's the way it was when I got my 2005 GT. The mid level cars (GL) are equipped with a tach and a clock. Upgrade "extras" are groups or packages for power windows, locks etc. IMHO a stick GT with power option is a great deal, at just about $12,500 MSRP before any incentives or dealer discounts . Log onto "fitzgerald Auto Mall. com to see typical out the door prices from their stores on the east coast in Maryland and Penna. Believer |

What research did you do to obtain this mileage?

Replying to: muffin_man (Jun 04, 2005 12:11 pm) Like I said before, the mileage was stated as an opinion "IMO". Sorry for any confusion on that. |

| I think it would be great if the next Accent hit that mileage, I thought you might have some inside info that we don't. 33/38 would be Civic mileage, which would be excellent. | |

Hello! Please, I need some advice. I own an 2001 Hyundai Acent 1.3, 75 HP, 5 gear manual shift. My mileage is about 50000, and haven't expirienced any troubles untill now. Fuel economy is great and car runs smoothley. My problem is: I have changed engne oil and oil filter 5 days ago and checked the air filter but didn't replace it. I have also managed to spill some il o the engine block. After that I drove abot 50 miles when jellow check light went on. Gas cap was tight. I have checked spark plugs, they are all tight. Car still runs smoothley,  only thing I noticed is that when the engine starts it turns on 1500 RPM untill it worms up a little. I went to service and they adviced me to exchange the air flow sensor mentioning that this was common problem on Hyundai engines. In the mean time the light perished. Should I listen to them or does anyone have any ideas...

Replying to: accent01 (Jun 09, 2005 1:52 pm) you got the one sensor going to your air box....another going to the throttle (the door which opens when you put your foot down, about 15cm up from the air box), another which detects the position of your pistons, located on top of the gear box where its bolted onto the engine, you got the lambda sensor coming off the exaust manifold straight out of the engine, i might have missed one.....anyway, just make sure they're on tight, give them a lil wiggle. If one of these were loose it would explain the 1500 rpm, becuase the ECU wouldnt be getting all the info it needs to make the engine tick over  100% efficiency from a cold start. The lil oil spill, i doubt that will have done any harm...was a bit clumbsy with my engine coolant once, no harm done... I've heard that the air flow sensor goes wrong a lot on subaru impreza's too....if it is that that needs doing, don't let the dudes at the garage change it unless you want your wallet emptied, i wouldn't purchase it from a hyundai dealer either. Eg, i needed a track end rod for my accent, it cost £36 to buy from the Hyundai garage, and they'd charge over £60 to fit it.....got one from an independant car parts dealer for £11, and it was only a case of cracking two nuts off to fit it....saving of £85  will be the same with the air sensor, will be ever so easy to replace if you look at how it's fitted in...hope this post is some help |

Hi all, I am the current owner of a '98 Hyundai Accent 2 Dr 5Sp. It's been bar none, the best car I have ever owned, even if it is a wee bit underpowered. The car has 270K KM's on it, and still going strong (I bought it brand new from the dealership). My question is, does anybody know where I can find a detailed engine diagram for this car? I'm hoping to replace the O Rings and one of the gaskets where there is some seepage, to try and curb the oil burning that the car is going through right now. I figure if I've gone as far as I have without having to do any major maintenance (I've only ever had to replace the Ignition Coil and Water Pump, and the radiator when the heat shield broke away from my manifold and punctured the rad core), that it's time to do some preventative maintenance, hoping to get another 60K out of it. So far, I've got 4 brand new BF Goodrich Tires, new brakes front and rear, new sway bar link kits, and getting ready to install new rear struts and front ball joints. Any help finding a diagram so I know which gasket it is that I have to replace would be great. Thanks |
