#4921 of 4929 Cost of 30,000 mi. checkup for Sonata by janas23 Feb 29, 2008 (8:28 am)
I have a 2007 4-cylinder Hyundai Sonata. My checkups costs from the dealer have pretty been right on the money according to what they predict. My dealer in the Tidewater area of Virginia gives free oil changes and free state inspections for life. (Their labor charges are $95 per hour.) My 5,000 mi. checkups have been around $32-38. In the booklet, it does say that the 30,000 mi. checkup is a "biggie" and starts around $225. I asked the service manager after my 25,000 mi checkup last month the cost for the 30,000 mi. checkup and he quoted $518. This seems excessive to me. I will call them again before I take it in and check with another dealer as a basis...even at $95 per hour, how many hours of check up would this take and what is being replaced? Thanks, Jackie
#4922 of 4929 fabric or leather? by montana7 Jun 24, 2008 (8:00 am)
We are having trouble finding an Elantra in Montana. We have a choice of Back with "black" leather interior,"purple rain" with black leather interior, or "dark gray" with dark gray FABRIC interior. Price range is about 1k more for Elantras with the leather interior. How to decide? Replies to this message: backy (Jun 24, 2008 1:28 pm)

Replying to: montana7 (Jun 24, 2008 8:00 am) Really comes down to whether you like leather or cloth better and if leather is worth $1000 more to you. I have cars with both (including a 2004 Elantra with leather) and overall I prefer cloth, but some people swear by leather. One thing to note: is the grey Elantra with cloth an SE or GLS? If it's a GLS, then you might want to go for one of the SEs with leather since the SE has stability control.
#4924 of 4929 Bluetooth by montana7 Jul 01, 2008 (12:53 pm)
Does anyone have the bluetooth option on their 2008 Elantra SE? Ours came with about everything but that option. It has on column controls for the XM and radio ect and LEATHER. I just wonder how to get the factory option for bluetooth. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 01, 2008 1:14 pm)

Replying to: montana7 (Jul 01, 2008 12:53 pm) There is no factory option for Bluetooth on the 2008 Elantra for the U.S. You might be able to find a dealer-installed Bluetooth unit, ala the one for the 2009 Sonata, or you could buy a portable GPS with Bluetooth.
#4926 of 4929 2002 Elantra GT - Hairline Crack on Manifold - by aventura1 Aug 22, 2008 (11:21 pm)
Yesterday, while driving my car to work, the check engine ligth came on. My Elantra has 93,500 miles and never had a problem with it until now. Went to a Hyundai dealer in Florida, and was told that the check engine light came on as a result of a hairline crack on the manifold and it would cost $403.56 plus tax to replace the manifold and gasket, plus an additional 133.46 plus tax for an O2 sensor on bank 1 if oxygen sensor is stuck when replacing the manifold.    I felt the dealer's service department was overcharging me for these repairs and therefore declined the repairs until able to do a little research. I am not sure if my vehicle was made before Jan 31, 2002 (to be covered by the recall as described in other posting in this forum).. My question(s) are: 1. Can I get a reliable replacement of the manifold and sensor for less than 571.92? 2. Or is this something I can do myself? 3. Are there other alternatives to replacing the manifold, such as welding?   Thanks for your assistance and advice...

Replying to: aventura1 (Aug 22, 2008 11:21 pm) The first thing to do is verify the car's manufacture date. It will be on a label on or near the driver's door, inside back edge (could be on the door jamb). No sense paying for the repair when it would be covered under the recall/extended warranty.

Replying to: aventura1 (Aug 22, 2008 11:21 pm) If you are the original owner of the car, it is covered under warranty. 10years, 100K miles.   And there was indeed a recall for that very problem. If the dealer keeps acting like a jerk, contact Hyundai.

I have a elantra 06 model with the hvt engine dose anyone else have a rattle when they first start and if they take the revs up to about 1500 then let go sounds a bit like a tappet. I noticed that they have gone to the c v v t engine now maybe there was a problem. I am an ex mechanic but disabled now after car accident so I know the noise is out of place.
