My Husband has a 1997 Elantra wagon.It pauses when he puts into drive. It has 100,000 miles on it. He said Pep boys tried to open his transmission cap and it was jammed. Could this be a problem cause it's low on transmission fluid, or is it the transmission itself? Thanks~Julie

I bought this 2005 for 10 months now. I have no major complaints other than some squeaking coming from the passenger side interior when humidity is high. However, recently ( over the past few months ) I started to heard more frequently a cracking noise coming from engine when I do accenleration with a little more push. On the background of roaring engine, kind of static cracking noise is heightened to be very annoying. It's not that loud until recently. We can not tolerate that and took the car to the dealer yesterday. They checked it up. The mechanic quickly came to point that it's the aftermarket oil filter to blame. He gave me a brief description of genuine Hyundai oil filter, inside from the opening, there is a valve sitting on the bottom which can sense and control the oil pressure ( just reiterate what he said ). OK, then oil change done first time in the dealership. It costed me $30 inc Tax, a couple of bucks more than Sears do. I chose Sears to do the oil change for they use better lube oil. But they definitely do not use genuine Hyundai oil filter per se. On the way home, I can feel the much lessened noise though not completely gone. Yes, there is still some noise lingering. But, the most annoying cracking upon hard acceleration is gone. We thought we will wait to see. Today, it made very clear: the noise is almost completely gone. This makes sense. BTW, I have asked for a quote from parts dept at the dealership. Oil filter for Elantra (2005) $5.xx. In case you wanna DIY your oil change.

Replying to: llamania (Oct 06, 2005 9:19 am) I have a 2001 Elantra GT. I do my own oil changes and have from the beginning. I have been using nothing but Hyundai filters and keep an oil change log. I pay $4.50 for the filters at the dealer. Oil used is Castrol GTX 5W-30. I've had no oil related problems in 4 years. This past June Hyundai released a Technical Service Bulletin that says (not in the exact words) if a customer comes into the dealership complaining of oil related noises first step is to inspect the car for a genuine Hyundai oil filter. If the filter is not OEM next step is to install a Hyundai OEM filter and send the customer on his way. Hyundai suspects there are certain brands of filters that do not work well with their engines.

Just got a 2004 Elantra with 22k on it, car is fine except when you step off the gas to shift (manual) it seems like it takes a second for the RPM,s to come down, is this normal or is there a sensor issue of some kind ? Thanks Neal

Replying to: chocolate194 (Oct 07, 2005 12:43 pm) They have instructions for removal and installation of the thermostat there. It's very simple, really, but the pictures help a lot. Once you get your logon, Click on Service Information (in the upper left under the Hyundai logo), enter your car's details in the pull-down menus, select the SHOP tab and go to Engine Mechanical System > Cooling System > Removal (and follow similar links to ...> Installation). Everything you need should be there.
