#17 of 69 water everywhere by annie11 Jul 04, 2007 (6:48 am)
My son has 2000 Elantra. Went to work this morning and when he parked the car there was water everywhere. He couldn't find any leaks in the radiator so he thought maybe the water pump or a seal on the water pump went out. He would like to know just where the water pump is on this car and how many seals the pump has?Any and all information would be appreciated. Annie
#18 of 69 2003 Elantra turn signal stays on by mrm1299 Jul 09, 2007 (5:30 pm)
My left turn signal stays on when I turn on my headlights, the arrow on the dashboard console stays lit, and the left turn signal on the rear stays on constantly. Is this a bulb problem, a fuse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
#19 of 69 Worn drivers seat by ras4151 Jul 11, 2007 (12:30 pm)
Hi all. I have a 2004 Elantra GT 5 door with approximately 29,000 miles. The leather on the drivers seat has worn a hole in the lower left side bolster. Has anyone had that problem and is it covered under warranty or is that considered normal wear and tear. Also does anyone have any idea how to patch the hole so I wouldn't have to replace the entire seat cover. Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Jul 11, 2007 12:39 pm)

Replying to: ras4151 (Jul 11, 2007 12:30 pm) I had the leather on my 05 elantra GT replaced by the dealer as a good-will thing. It is considered a normal wear and tear so therefore not covered by the warranty.
#21 of 69 05 Elantra GL 5 Speed Idle Remains High When Shifting Between 1st and 2nd by mantraelantra Aug 08, 2007 (11:05 am)
Hi. When I rev it up to 3000 rpm in first gear and depress the clutch, the rpm's remain high, sometimes only dropping when I shift into second and engage the clutch, which forces the revs down. It only does this between first and second. In any other gear, it drops quickly after depressing the clutch. I had the service manager at the dealer go for a ride with me this morning, and he says the computer is doing exactly what it is supposed to, keeping the revs high to avoid a spike in emissions. He suggested short shifting, but doing so lugs the engine in second. I don't want to burn out the clutch and/or transmission prematurely by shifting with the revs high. Any ideas out there?

#23 of 69 lost mpg by gllucad Jan 03, 2008 (10:42 am)
My 2004 Elantra GT has 110,000 miles. I am the orginal owner and have kept well maintained. All of a sudden my mpg dropped 8-10 mpg. No engine light has come on, the engine runs smooth. I just replaced the plugs and wires to see if that would help, no change. Any ideas on where I should look or do ?

Replying to: gllucad (Jan 03, 2008 10:42 am) This is with no change in weather, driving habits/patterns, or gas formulation (i.e. winter gas blend), right? What was your mpg before, and what is it now? And what mix of city/highway driving do you do?

Replying to: backy (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm) Hello Backy   I would have thought the winter blend had switched weeks ago--I did give it some consideration. My mpg was 32-33 hwy, 29-30 stop and go, now 26 hwy -22 combined. To if if it was the gas, i have filled up at three different stations and have noticed no difference. I have replaced some of my senors, back when my car was in the 50-70,000 mile range. I guess it strange wishing the check engine light would go on !

Replying to: gllucad (Jan 03, 2008 2:31 pm) If you were able to get 29-30 mpg in stop-and-go driving in the Elantra, that is indeed remarkable!   For comparison, before winter set in I could easily get 28-32 mpg in around-town driving in my '04 GT AT (EPA 24/32), with the variable being how much urban freeway driving I did. Now that winter is here (lately temps hovering at either side of 0 F), I am struggling to reach 23 mpg overall in around-town driving. I drive mostly short distances (<10 miles one way), and have not adjusted air pressure on the tires since temps were in the 40s (when I set it at 35). So the air pressure is 4-5 ppi lower than earlier this winter, the car is taking longer to warm up, it has more idling time (I let it warm up for a few minutes the other day when it was -10 F ), there's the winter gas, and the car is pushing colder, denser air (although I have no idea how much impact that has on FE). You still might want to take your car in for a look-see at its next service interval, in case there's a problem. Replies to this message: gllucad (Jan 04, 2008 5:09 am)
