#2700 of 3016 Re: Trans Flush & Timing Belt replacement [newowner10] by de1029 Oct 24, 2008 (10:53 am)
Replying to: newowner10 (Oct 24, 2008 10:32 am) Thanks for the ESTIMATE...obviously I am NOT thinking too clearly. I hadn't thought of that. 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

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 1:23 pm) Transmisison Service was completed last Friday. Walked into mechanic's shop (aka Tires Plus!) and asked them to advise me. We took a walk out to the car and owner said 'sound' I was hearing was normal. No prolem with transmission. They completed the Transmission Flush Service. I am happy...cost approx. $90.00 with his discounts. As to timing belt: found bill for 60,000 miles job - approx $325.00 for timing belt replacement (labor & parts...yea, you guessed it, part less than $90.00...There oughta be a law!). Actual mileage at job was 59,100...so, I will tempt fate (at 111000 miles now) and continue driving it for another 5000 miles..OR SO. Hey, thanks all, for responses and suggestions. I do appreciate it. And, if anyone has some other comments about this situation...I am all EARS.   Joe

Well you have nothing to lose by seeing if the Transmission holds up. I would get estimates on the timing belt after you decide the transmission is solid.
#2704 of 3016 Allen Wrench Socket by notam Oct 28, 2008 (11:58 am)
I need to change the brake pads on my 2005 Sonata V6 2.7 L. I left my set of allen wrench sockets in another province, so I'd rather just buy a single socket to do this brake job.....does anybody know what size of allen wrench socket is required to remove the calipers on my car?   Please and thanks, Mike

Replying to: backy (Sep 14, 2008 6:35 pm) My 2006 SONATA has reached 30k miles. I had done the 15k services ($270) on Hyundai dealership before. The manager there keeps reminding me that I shall have the 30k service done on the car. But it cost $580 for the 30k miles major services. And other non dealer shops only charge less than $200 for a 30k miles major services.   Anyone on board knows whether Sonata needs some special cares which only dealer can guarantee? Should it be Toyota cars, I am confident to give to any shop for service. But I am not sure if Sonata use any kind of special oil/fluid (brake, transmission etc) which can be found only at Hyundai dealer. We know Honda cars can only use Honda transmission fluid otherwise the clutches will be damaged.

Replying to: hongwu (Oct 29, 2008 2:11 pm) You do have to use the specified tannsmission fluid on a Hyundai. But you should be able to buy it from a Hyundai dealer and have someone else do the work. Replies to this message: hongwu (Oct 30, 2008 3:37 pm) bhmr59 (Oct 30, 2008 6:42 pm)

Replying to: bhmr59 (Oct 29, 2008 6:31 pm) Thanks for the reply. Beside transmission fluid, is there any other type oil/fluid has to used Hyundai make? Replies to this message: bhmr59 (Oct 30, 2008 6:42 pm)

Replying to: hongwu (Oct 30, 2008 3:37 pm) I don't know about other fluids, except the any quality oil of the proper "rating" is OK. If you still have the owners manual, check it out.
#2709 of 3016 2009 Sonata GLS Clicking in Door by newowner10 Nov 10, 2008 (5:55 am)
I hear a clicking that appears to come from the door, could be the fuse box but it seems to be in the center of the door. It sounds like a relay opening and closing. It can occur every 10 seconds sometimes. Other times it can go 10 minutes than click a couple of times than stop. It does not appear to have anything to do with hitting bumps. Has anyone else heard this in their Sonata?
