Replying to: bad_clutch (Dec 12, 2008 10:32 am) I think it all points to yor mechanic not knowing what to do on this particular model of car for this particular service work.   He can be an excellent mechanic but still do something incorrectly when performing work on something he is not familiar with.
#3075 of 3260 Heating Fan by albo2325 Dec 16, 2008 (11:45 am)
This morning one of the heating fans on the passenger side of the car starting clicking. Sounded like it was right behind the glove box. It didnt click until I was driving aobut 10 minutes. My first thought is to tear into it to see what could be wrong. Any experience on how to get to the fan or possible reasons for the clicking?   Allan Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Dec 16, 2008 3:46 pm)

The lights by the heater, blower and air direction setting knobs do not work anymore. Any advise? Replies to this message: backy (Dec 17, 2008 12:14 pm) inharmsway (Dec 17, 2008 1:42 pm)

Replying to: inharmsway (Dec 17, 2008 11:26 am) If fuse is good, likely it's the light itself. In that case, hopefully the car has some of the bumper-to-bumper warranty left, or you might need to do your own minor surgery on the center console panel or pay someone else to do it.

Replying to: backy (Dec 17, 2008 12:14 pm) Thanks, I will try the fuse first. No more warranty left.

Replying to: tjames66 (Nov 11, 2008 1:43 pm) Hello, Have you had any success here? I have an 03 Elantra and have had it in the shop 3 times. They changed timing belt preventively, changed damaged water pump and thermostat. Still no heat at idle. Once driving, very warm and up to temp. Mechanics scratching their head and don't know what else to do... thanks!
#3081 of 3260 tranny problems 99 elantra by travsfocus Jan 02, 2009 (1:19 pm)
ok here it is. the tranny was stuck in 3rd and i had it looked at, i was told something was broke so i had it rebuilt. i installed it and it is shifting hard and wont down shift. anyway i was wondering if a 2000 elantra tranny would work because i found one with only 52,000 miles on it. do i need to swap the computer also? if you can help i would appreciate it.Thanx Replies to this message: backy (Jan 02, 2009 1:41 pm)

Replying to: travsfocus (Jan 02, 2009 1:19 pm) Did you do the rebuild, or someone else? If someone else, did the shop that rebuilt the tranny give you any kind of warranty on their work? Usually there is some kind of guarantee, even if only 30 days (dealers typically warrant their repair work for 1 year/12k miles).   1999 and 2000 Elantras were the same car, no changes, so the 2000 tranny should work, but you could confirm that with a call to your local Hyundai dealer's service department.   I also found this note that might be of interest:   Transmission problems: If transmission sticks in 3rd, shifts poorly, or has harsh 1-2 shift, the pulse generator may need to be replaced.

#3083 of 3260 Pre-Buy Mechanic Inspection Recommendation? by PatMatHat Jan 05, 2009 (10:08 pm)
I'm about to buy a 2004 Elantra, with 62,000 miles. However, I'd like to have a mechanic inspect it first. The dealer from whom I'm buying will allow me to take it to a mechanic to have it checked out. Unfortunately, I don't know any Hyundai mechanics!   Can anybody recommend a good shop/mechanic who could inspect the Elantra and do a good job of it to uncover any possible problems? I'm in the Los Angeles area (West Side, but will travel anywhere within LA county). If the place is open Saturday, that's a big plus! Thank you in advance!   Also, aren't you supposed to change the timing belt on an Elantra at 60K miles? Since the car has 62K, should I have it done as soon as I buy it? Thanks!
