Replying to: franmart (Apr 11, 2007 5:44 pm) Apparently you do your own oil changes. If I did, I'd check the owner's manual to see what it says is the required of oil.

#23 of 48 2000 Sonata 2.4 v4 question by daveri May 30, 2007 (2:10 pm)
I bought a 2000 Sonata v4 with around 60,000 miles. recently it has been running rough, stalling and losing power. I took it to the Hyundai dealership and had the 60,000 scheduled maintenance done- plugs, filters, oil change, drive belts etc. I didn't replace the timing belt at that time. The car still runs rough and loses power.Does anyone have an idea as to what could be the problem? Also the price for replacing the timing belt would be $510. This seems a bit high. Is it necessary to go through a factor dealership for this maintenance or can I go to a less expensive garage? Replies to this message: hotrod54 (May 30, 2007 6:42 pm)

Replying to: daveri (May 30, 2007 2:10 pm) You can go to any qualified mechanic for a timing belt. As for running rough, (by the way, it is an I4), did you have the fuel filter checked; it could also be carbon buildup on intake and exhaust valves or low flow/clogged fuel injectors...find a BG products supplier and and get a can of BG44k, put it in tank and see if that helps.

Replying to: tinqui (Jun 05, 2007 1:08 pm) Your best bet is have a dealer actually read the code/s stored to find out what the possible malfunction might be. Some auto parts stores (Advance for one) will read the codes,if any, for free. Since there are various sensors seeded throughout the engine/transmission it could be a subtle fault you may not even feel or hear. Replies to this message: craigbrooks (Jun 06, 2007 1:18 pm)

Replying to: targettuning (Jun 06, 2007 5:16 am) Checker Auto Parts will read the codes too. They will even give you a print out to take to your mechanic so you save the "hook-up the old analyzer" fee.
#28 of 48 06 Sonata Engine Rattle and cure by kimweigel Jun 08, 2007 (3:31 pm)
Let me start by saying I am very impressed with the new model Sonata (NF). So much that after buying a new '07 for the wife, I looked for myself and found a nice used '06 for myself. Both of them have the V6 / leather / climate control. Anyway, my '06 had an engine rattle on startup, just about 5 seconds, like a can full of ball bearings. I took it down to my local Hyundai dealer, and they took out the engine, replaced 2 timing chain tensioners (TSB number 06-20-002) changed the oil, and replaced the rear shocks (another TSB). Total cost to me: $0.00.     Now the rattle is gone, so is the rear end clunking (like an old car with bad ball joints) The car is just smooth, quiet, and tight, just like my wife's brandee new '07.     I'm really impressed with the dealership, that they got everything back together right with no leaks, squeaks, rattles, or other problems. Kudos to Hyundai and it's service department and the people who train and select their employees. Replies to this message: blackopal (Oct 16, 2007 4:28 pm)
