That's why it's best to read up and study about specifications before purchasing.

Personally, I stay away from belt driven timing mechanism engines. When it snaps (and it will), the engine is almost always done as the engine will destroy itself. You get downtime and hassle because the manufacturer chose to cut corners (in guise of giving you a more silent engine).

Best is gear driven, then silent chain, then belt but try to stick with the first two whenever possible.

Hopefully your friend's engine will be covered by hyundai warranty (and we're all familiar how horrific claiming warranty from Hyundai is).

I guess he doesnt look under the hood often. It doesnt hurt to check once a month. When did he last had maintenance.

Sorry to hear that. Knowing HARI... "Not covered by warranty."

Hyundai makes decent cars now and there will ALWAYS be lemons.

How the distributor/dealer stands by its products is another matter altogether.

... really!

how often do we car owners look under the hood and open up the engine to inspect the timing belt?
most of us just look at the odometer reading.. and replace the belt as per odo schedule..

some cars are designed such that, even if the belt or chain snapped, the valves are recessed in the head, so there would not be any danger of metal against metal.

some of the most popular cars in the market, have timing belts.. innova diesel...

and kung mamalasin,... mamalasin!
my colleague's belt broke a week after he had it replaced as scheduled, by the casa.

Most cars use timing chains now. Toyota and Hyundai use timing chains In all their vehicles. Im guessing the belt being talked about is the drive belt. Maybe some pulley was wobbling or the tensioner was loose.

If its the timing chain, there was a timing chain tensioner that needed replacement in hyundai forums for one elantra.

thorough inspection lng. check brake pads medyo pricey original pads. last atf change, normally this is done 45k/60k, last engine oil change. fuel filter change is 45k/60k.

if suspect of flooding, you can remove the rear seats with a socket, two bolts, i think its a 17/19 or 21mm check. also remove the spare tire. check the bottom part.

engine sound after cold start, this is one of the several topics in hyundai-forums...

aside from that, my hyundai mechanic didn't mention anything else about the car.

Ito brad, I think most hyundais and kias 2012 or newer will have the same procedure.

The driving learn...I pressed the pedal to about 15% (guesstimation). I think I needed 2km to reach 6th gear. My tranny works super conservative and is shifting early now.

tanong lang po.. nkabili po kasi ako ng 2ndhand na elantra 1.6 m/t.. why po door lock is acting weird? pag nasa loob ka ng elantra then lock the doors using the central locking, nabubuksan pa rin po ung front doors pag pinihit mo ung pambukas ng doors po? is that standard in hyundai elantra? hindi po ba delikado iyon? anu pa purpose nung lock kung pwede siya mabukas kahit nakalock po while inside?

For emergency po yun. Para pag kailangan buksan mabubuksan agad. Sabihan mo na lanh especially mga bata na wag paglaruan na bubuksan habang tumatakbo
