Asked this question a few months ago. No one could or would answer. Please help if you can. Mice continually nest on top of the cabin air filter in my 06 Sonata. I've removed nests, poop, dead mice (oh, the smell) and even a dead litter of 5. About 9 different times. I suspect they've marked a "trail" into the cleaner. I would like to know where the air intake for the cabin air is so that I can put a metal screen or ... over it. Help, please. (I've phoned and/or visited 3 dealers. None of them can/will tell me - a bit surprising of itself. I've tried online with no luck. I set traps on the engine cowling at night and have caught several, but still they come. And you may know that cabin air filters, simple and small though they are, are not cheap. HELP, please.

Car is 2000 Hyundai Sonata V-6. Currently at 110,000 miles and sensing possible trans slippage...car appears to be mimicking Engine Light...speed sensor behavior but less balky. Make sense? At 105,000 trans fluid should be addressed per maintenance manual. Is the trans flush NEEDED (overdue) and that is why I hear the hum/whine and sense the occasional slippage? At last maintenance - rear hub assembly, repair shop said I needed Trans Flush - Standard (approx. $90.00). When in Neutral or Park...I do not hear enging noise (aka...hum which appears to have gotten louder...tired of raising the radio volume!!) When in drive I hear the sound, hum, whine. Any ideas? Also, Since timing belt needs replacement REAL SOON (at 120,000 miles and I think I did the first replacement about 5000 mileas EARLY...so, it is DUE!)...should I do both at the same time...the timing belt is a lot of labor, so I understand, and expensive...so, do together...or...IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE MORE SERIOUSLY WRONG and I should start looking for a new car? As always...I rely on your wisdom and experience...to assist me in making my move. Thanks, Joe

Also have the trans. codes read. It might only be some kind of shifting solenoid. If it's a stuck valve in the valve body then perhaps a service would help. You could also try some Sea Foam transmission additive. I think it's called Trans Tune. But you need the service, ,too. Visiting Host |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 7:47 am) Sorry if I led anyone astray. My point was, like a Check Engine light going on for a speed sensor failure...that is how the subtle/slight 'shift' FEELS. I will schedule the trans flush job. And, should the timing belt be done at the same time? Thanks, Joe

Replying to: newowner10 (Oct 24, 2008 10:32 am) The 'whining' is in the drive gears...so that is NOT the engine BUT may well be my TRANS saying good bye to me??? At 1500 to 3000 dollars...it will have to be AWAY SHE GOES. Thanks, Joe |
