#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.
