While attempting (badly) to change the passenger side headlight bulb, the clip that holds it in place came off, and apparently the tab holding it in broke. Am I now faced with having to replace the entire assembly in order to have a functioning headlight? (or can I duct tape it in lol).  thanks dave |

Hello everyone first post here, My daughter has a 2001 Elantra with no heat. The blower is working fine, No leaks anywhere, I've replaced the Thermostat a few months ago. I just sat in it for 10 minutes with the engine running and it just blew cold air. I popped the hood and felt all the radiator hoses, there was one coming out of where the thermostat is located and it was cold while the other two were very hot. I noticed a sensor in the thermostat housing, Does anyone know what this is? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a 2003 Elantra with a manual tranny. The original clutch lasted about 85K miles. The second clutch lasted 4 days. The third clutch lasted a month. If I had read this the first thing I would think is that the mechanic doesn't know what he is doing. You will have to trust me on this, but that is not the case. If it runs he is licensed and certified to repair it, he has his own business, and has been recruited to teach Mechanics classes at a major university. When he replaced the first clutch, the first thing he told me was, "That is a bad design". When the second clutch went out he warranteed his work and the parts guy warranteed the clutch, but they both told me they did not believe that the replacement part was at fault. So I began an internet search and what I am finding is not pretty. I have found countless stories like mine, a law firm that is contemplating a class action, etc. Don't believe me, just Google Hyundai clutch problems and start reading. Nobody seems to have a solution though. A couple websites recommend removing the fluid flow restrictor in the slave cylinder that is there presumably for people that don't know how to drive manuals to shift smoother. However it allows clutch slippage every time you shift by restricting the flow of fluid out of the slave cylinder. However, I do not believe that this in itself is the problem. I should say that in all cases when the clutch failed it was it the wear pad that just disintegrated. So I am wondering if anyone reading this may have any additional insight into what is going on with Hyundai clutches? |
