#3014 of 3025 Re: 08 Sonata fuel filter replacement [james1982] by newowner10 Nov 10, 2009 (2:23 pm)
Replying to: james1982 (Nov 09, 2009 2:31 pm) I have had Fords with the fuel filter external to the tank (Where it belongs) at 100,000 miles. I would not mind changing the filter every 35,000 miles if it was on the frame rail but in the fuel tank it is costly and could be dangerous. You do not get the tank sealed back-up there could be fuel leakage. Poor design in my opinion.

Replying to: james1982 (Nov 09, 2009 2:31 pm) C'mon man, the symptom of a fuel filter that needs to be changed would be LACK of fuel getting to the engine not "dirt particles getting to the engine". Think about it, a filter that is clogging does not let MORE stuff through. Replies to this message: bernardmarx (Nov 10, 2009 3:03 pm)

#3017 of 3025 2004 Sonata engine turns off while driving! by nmc79 Nov 30, 2009 (4:57 pm)
Hi! New here! Never had a single issue with my 04 Sonata until this May. The car just shut off while driving - had it towed to a repair shop - they replaced the crank shaft sensor, and the timing belt (which had not broken, but was showing some wear. After getting it back, the car had a rough idle, and ended up shutting off again while driving. Brought it back - they replaced the crank sensor again (said it was faulty) and the ac belt as well. Has had a rough idle since - and is now shutting off again while driving! The weird thing is, if you disconnect the battery for a few minutes, the car will then run again. Also, replaced spark plugs and coils. Going to the dealership Friday, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Replies to this message: espo35 (Nov 30, 2009 5:13 pm)

#3019 of 3025 P0016 Code/ Oil Drive Actuator by emadrid007 Dec 02, 2009 (11:37 am)
I recently took my car to the dealer for a check engine light (p0016) I was told that the problem was the "oil drive actuator". What is an "oil drive actuator"? I denied service at the time cause it was $500+ I don't have that kind of money. So about a week later I called the dealers parts dept. I asked to buy the "oil drive actuator" part from them to potentially fix the problem myself. The rep. didn't even know what an "oil drive actuator" is. Is this an actual part? or was I being taken for a ride? Replies to this message: bhmr59 (Dec 03, 2009 11:24 am) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 03, 2009 5:35 pm)

Replying to: emadrid007 (Dec 02, 2009 1:39 pm) oil control valve for the CVVT (continuously variable valve timing).   "GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the exhaust camshaft. There is no variation in valve timing of the exhaust cam because the exhaust camshaft is driven by the timing belt. The timing of the intake cam is varied by the relative operation the CVVT vane to the housing. The CVVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV(Oil Control Valve). As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease by changing the valve open/close timing of the intake camshaft.   DTC DESCRIPTION This diagnosis checks the camshaft position plausibility whether the expected range plus some margin is not violated that might be caused by a wrong engine repair, or a chain/belt misalignment. DTC P0016 is set when actual camshaft position is too much retarded or advanced than full retard position or full advance position. To continue the adjustment in such case could lead to a damage of the engine by hitting the valves with the piston."

Replying to: emadrid007 (Dec 02, 2009 11:37 am) Would this be covered by the power train warranty? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 03, 2009 5:35 pm)

Replying to: bhmr59 (Dec 03, 2009 11:24 am) I would think so, but that's a tricky question actually, so I'm going to say "I don't know". Seems to me it is an "internal" engine part, unlike, say, an alternator.
