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
#2705 of 3016 Re: 15K Scheduled Maintenance [backy] by hongwu Oct 29, 2008 (2:11 pm)
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?

Replying to: nyjah (Aug 20, 2008 4:38 pm) I just joined but I have the same problem on my 2002. I have replaced both low beams and now they both shoot a slit like beam at the bottom. The middle and top of the lens appears to be darkened down. Is it just an adjustment of the bulb that is required or have you found another answer.

Replying to: homer14 (Nov 10, 2008 6:10 pm) A few thoughts on this....if you replaced just the bulbs, well, they have key ways so the can be properly installed in only one way. The key ways are in the form of three tabs extending from the base of each bulb. These tabs correspond to key holes in the headlight assembly itself. The bulb can only be installed if each tab lines up to the proper "key-way" The spacing and size of these are what allow only proper installation. Proper installation allows the bulb to seat into the housing and the rubber O-ring to seal moisture out. If you did this properly then the reflector part of the headlight assembly appears to be damaged due to moisture (per your description) and has turned dark. There is NO way to repair this type of damage and replacement of the light assembly is necessary. These can be purchased from aftermarket vendors for much less than official Hyundai parts. Furhter there is no provision for any "adjustment" for the bulbs...only the entire housing can be adjusted slightly in a horizontal (side to side) and vertical ( up and down) way.
#2712 of 3016 Questions about Add-A-Circuit by budh Nov 22, 2008 (1:34 pm)
Apologies from someone very unfamiliar with the "Add-A-Circuit" (mini size in my case - see http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Data_Sheets/FHM02FHA02.pdf - to be installed into a new Hyundai sedan) and how to install and use it.   1. Does the single red wire contain only the positive wire, or is somehow the ground wire also part of that red wire?   2. What kind of female connector is on the end of that red wire? And what kind of male connector is required to connect into it? What tools/supplies/directions would be needed for installing the right connectors needed?   I have a GPS unit and radar detector to hard wire and neither have the type of connector that would fit into the end of the red wire on the Add-A-Circuit.   Thanks in advance for any advice and assistance or even to be pointed in right direction for this information.   Bud H
