#5418 of 5463 Re: 01 Elantra Control Arm [johngotts] by sweetchariot Jun 30, 2009 (2:56 pm)
Replying to: johngotts (Jun 01, 2009 4:39 am) In May of this year, my control arm just snapped , from rot, while taking a turn off a main drag. Luckily I was only going 5-10 mph. When it snapped, there was an awful grinding noise, like I was dragging something underneath my car. Wasn't until the tow truck came, did I know what it was. Had my own mechanic replace it, since I have never had good luck with the Hyundai mechanics. Then found out it that this was a recall. They are supposed to be reimbursing me, and told me it would take 4-6 weeks to get the check. Haven't seen it yet. How long does it take to get a check mailed out.

Replying to: sweetchariot (Jun 30, 2009 2:56 pm) Probably about as long as it takes them to get the recall notification out. I haven't seen that yet either and it was released in May. Bet you're glad it didn't happen on a turnpike doing about 65-70! I considered myself lucky cause I'm on the highway all the time...and I don't drive 65 either.

#5420 of 5463 Cleaning Throttle Body by elantraowner Jul 01, 2009 (6:48 am)
I have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT. Just had a brake service and the service tech said he recommended next time that I have an injector cleaning service, throttle body, etc. I am aware of "recommended" add on's the dealer's try to put in that are necessary, but it seems that some time back I read a post on this blog site that the Hyundai Tech manual specifically said NOT to clean the throttle body. Anyone recall this?
#5421 of 5463 cleaning Throttle Body (revised) by elantraowner Jul 01, 2009 (6:57 am)
I meant to say in my previous post that I was aware of dealer add ons that are "not" necessary.. I also found a response in 2004 that "Carbon in throttle body" does not effect the system and that it should not be cleaned.
#5422 of 5463 Window motor 2002 Elantra GT by elantraowner Jul 01, 2009 (7:07 am)
2002 Hyundai Elantra GT again. Dealer Tech says the driver side window motor is not working properly. It seems to me the motor sticks briefly when first try to open on occasion or maybe it is a short in the switch on the door. Has not been a serious problem to me, in fact I seldom notice as it seems to be only a brief hesitation the first time I try to open the window. The Dealer advises that it will be $317 to replace motor. Is this something that any reasonably competent mechanic can replace and is the part available much cheaper over the internet?

Replying to: jshepp13 (Jul 03, 2009 2:58 am) If you are due to have a timing belt change, I suggest you change it. Because if the timing belt snaps in the midst of traffic... your car will just stop. This happened to a friend of mine. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 03, 2009 7:35 am)

Replying to: sweetchariot (Jul 03, 2009 5:26 am) Not only will the car stop, but the engine will likely be trashed. Don't put off a timing belt change on an Elantra.

Replying to: jshepp13 (Jul 03, 2009 2:58 am) Any timing belt that breaks can spell disaster. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 03, 2009 10:25 am) doohickie (Jul 03, 2009 12:25 pm) backy (Jul 03, 2009 12:59 pm)

Replying to: johngotts (Jul 03, 2009 10:16 am) More of a disaster on interference engines, like the Elantra has.
