#2871 of 3016 Re: 2003 Sonata sedan V6 (hole in block) [targettuning] by lindalee65 May 28, 2009 (7:00 pm)
Replying to: targettuning (May 28, 2009 7:33 am) Thank you for the information. The dealership called this morning after looking at my car and had to replace the water pump, plus, in their description of things they did: pump assy-coolent, gasket-water pump, antifreeze (which was covered under the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty), timing belt tensioner, (under warranty), tensioner timing (under warranty), timing belt and serpentine belt tensioner, belt valve timing tensioner assy. They said in their description of why they had to change the timing & serpentine belts was because they were leaking. (Dealership charged $ 386.28 for parts & labor). I asked about the hole drilled into the block and they said it's a water pump weep hole. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (May 29, 2009 7:27 am)

Replying to: lindalee65 (May 28, 2009 7:00 pm) Sounds like the right diagnosis and a fair price.

Replying to: pfine (Mar 11, 2009 9:34 am) sorry for such a late reply - i had timing belt replaced at 59,000 miles. i was coming up on 2nd timing belt change when it snapped. mileage was 114,500...thought i had about 5,000 kiles to go. but, now i just have a cobalt. and, not an xfe. New car is a POS and I don't mean point of sale! Hey, i didn't want to spend a lot of money; i thought i needed to have a car immediately...and it seemed ok at the time. i am not totally disappointed, however. i wanted a 4 cylinder and i needed transportation...i just rushed the decision making process and closed the deal.

Replying to: msgdfx1 (May 23, 2009 5:14 pm) I am having the exact same problem with my 2003 Sonata. It turns over but doesn't start right away and it seems to be getting worse. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?

Replying to: msgdfx1 (May 23, 2009 5:14 pm) This exact problem just started the last month on our 2003 Sonata. Today my wife reports it doesn't start at all. Did you find out what the actual problem was? Replies to this message: sunkleep (Jun 02, 2009 11:39 am) billward (Jun 02, 2009 12:26 pm) goniwicha (Jun 02, 2009 12:15 pm)

Replying to: sasla (Jun 02, 2009 10:44 am) I have a 2002 with a similar starting problem... I narrowed my problem down to the alarm / ignition kill system would not let the car start. The starter worked, the engine turned over but would not start. I never found the actual alarm setting to change (dealer only option) so I had a remote start system installed and that cured my problem (plus the wife now enjoys being able to start the car from inside the house on cold days).

Replying to: sasla (Jun 02, 2009 10:44 am) I think I may have the solution to our starting problems. I do believe it is the fuel pressure regulator. Dealer says it will cost about $160.00 to have fixed. Warranty on this part is 5 years or 60,000 miles.

Replying to: sunkleep (Jun 02, 2009 11:39 am) That's what I was kind of suggesting last week, that it sounded somewhat similar to the (more abrupt) way my 2003 had behaved... and the anti-theft system was the culprit.
#2879 of 3016 Re: Gas spill when refueling [lcdos] by craigbrooks Jun 04, 2009 (3:58 pm)
Replying to: lcdos (May 27, 2009 5:57 am) Try a faster fill setting on the nozzle. I once set the nozzle at the lowest (1 of 3) setting to get all I could and it didn't shut off. Spilled gas all over the side of the car. Won't do that again.
#2880 of 3016 strange noise by liuliu1128 Jun 05, 2009 (8:47 am)
I have 2007 sonata 32000 miles, just did 30000 miles service. Recently I found after I drove 10 mins, my car has very strange noise, like squeaking something. I have a friend who also has the same car and did same service, but in different state, accidently she has the same situation as mine. Is there anyone have the same situation? We don't know if this noise related to service or not. And we cannot figure out where is this noise come from. Not from brake, we are sure, because when we are accelerate, we heard noise, and my friend said when she click brake, the sound will gone. I need to test this on my car. Thanks for any advise.
