#7778 of 7814 Hyundai by caaz Sep 11, 2009 (7:36 pm)
I am LOL at the quotes est1971 got for his service. That dealer you got the quote from back in May certainly saw you coming. A serpintine belts cost about $30.00 and most mechanics will put it on for $20.00 Irridium spark plugs cost no more than $10.00 a piece tops. I'm not sure why he is worrying. A timing chain makes an engine fairly bullet proof for about 300, 000 miles.. i just sold my 99 honda accord yesterday, Sept 10, 2009 for 3600.00. It had 220,000 miles on it.. Any of these cars now days, hyundai, honda, toyota, nissan, should all do that kind of mileage without any problem at all as long as you take care of them.. Good luck and happy motoring. Caaz

Replying to: duke16 (Sep 19, 2009 2:10 pm) At $99.95, it's probably a good deal; I've had problems with old coolant (gets gunked up after a while) and you especially need to monitor the transmission fluid level and keep that degunked.

Replying to: billward (Sep 21, 2009 3:57 am) Yes,but at 7,000 miles?Dealer flushes transmisson,which puts old fluid backwith new.When time comes,I will have pan removed to drain ALL fluid,which is recommended by trans repair shops.

Replying to: duke16 (Sep 28, 2009 9:55 am) I think you might have that wrong. A flush using a dedicated transmission "flushing" machine actually replaces all the old transmission with new by pumping old fluid out while replacing it with fresh including the torque converter. Whereas dropping the pan only allows access to about 70% (I believe) of the old fluid because the remainder is trapped in the torque converter so that is the scenario where old is mixed with new fluid not the other way around. So, I don't know what transmission shop would recommend leaving up to 30% of the old stuff in place if it isn't necessary.
#7783 of 7814 Re: BRAKE LITE RECALL [duke16] by newowner10 Sep 28, 2009 (12:49 pm)
Replying to: duke16 (Sep 28, 2009 9:55 am) You only get 50 to 70% the fluid out if you drop the pan. You need to drain the torque converter also. The best way would do the power flush and repace the filter also. Dropping the pan does give you a visual of what is going on.

Replying to: jal012773 (Sep 08, 2009 5:50 am) I'd say you either have a slightly loose lower control arm or loose top strut mount (common).
#7785 of 7814 Re: BRAKE LITE RECALL [newowner10] by billward Sep 29, 2009 (4:23 am)
Replying to: newowner10 (Sep 28, 2009 12:49 pm) I don't normally do a "me too" post, but what you said.   Also, the best mechanics power flush about 1 1/5-2x the amount of fluid the system holds, in order to insure that all liquid has been fully replaced. And as mentioned, you need to drain the torque converter.   Open, drain, flush, close (late in the flush, when you know you have the system refilled with a continuous stream), fill.   Very different, and much more effective, than drop pan, pour out old tranny fluid, reattach pan, and refill. That would actually scare me in a modern transmission, as it could leave the possibility of air bubbles in the system.
