I had the same issue. I had all the struts replaced and I was still having noise. I found that it was the strut mounting bracket. I took it to a mechanic and they did a temp fix on it by welding it because it had too much play in it. But you can buy a new strut mount www.partsgeek.com. So, when the time comes and the temp fix is no longer working I plan to replace the bracket. I hope this helped.

Hope there's some answer for this. i have an '03 XG350L...it has 127,000 miles...has always ran great. Just recently I've had a lound grinding type noise coming from..it seems...the front center of the hood area. This noise happen..from what I can tell...in gears 2-4 (it's a 5 speed). There is no griding on shifting. It happens as the car accelerates and/or decellerates? It only happens when the car is moving and can seeminly get lounder if I rev the engin while diving. Only other thing is I've notced...about 10% of the time I start driving from a stopped postion...there will be a clunk/catch getting into 1st? Any thoughts...thank you.

Have you ever changed the transmission fluid? This should have been done before 100K miles. If not, have a transmission drain and fill service performed for about $80 to $100 and see if it helps. Also, get underneath the car and look at the CV boots. They are the rubber boots located behind the front wheels. If there's any oil or gunk splattered around the vicinity of those rubber boots, you may need new CV joints. If that's where the noise is coming from, they'll definitely need to be replaced.

Thanks for the reply...yes...I had the transmission serviced about a year ago...and since hearing the noise I put in the Lucas transmission Fix...and it didn't do anything. I did have a power steering leak fixed just before the noise started...maybe that fluid got on the CV??? But, would that cause this type of noise? Thanks, again.

The CV Joint is sealed within the CV Boot. The boot is packed with grease, which tends to get flung onto the surrounding area when the boot cracks and fails. A boot replacement usually costs around $150. The CV Joint will fail if you go too long with a bad boot, and then you are looking at $500 or more for a new CV joint. Having other oils and fluids leak onto the boot, like power steering fluid in your case, would not cause any problems at all. Other than that, I'm not sure what else would be making a grinding noise. Sometimes a brake pad can wear low without squeaking like it's supposed to, and then you suddenly have metal-on-metal grinding even when you're not pressing the brake pedal. Could be as simple as that.
 
If you have a mechanic you trust, or if somebody can recommend one for you, then let him take a look at your car for 20 or 30 minutes and he'll probably be able to find what's making the noise.

#62 of 62 TCS light and Dashlight Issue by pido7

Sep 15, 2011 (6:15 pm)

I have a 2002 Hyundai XG350. Today I went to get a remote start/keyless entry installed. When I left the shop I noticed the TCS light was on. I was running late for class so I had no time to stop and ask about this. Upon leaving class it was now dark out and I noticed that the dash lights were also all off. When I push the TCS button they turn on, but only while I hold the button down. I will be going back to tell them to fix it, but in the meantime can anyone tell me what they think the problem might be and/or how to fix it? And also what the TCS light means in the first place? Thankyou in advance for any help
