Hyundaitech - My first and last

I don't understand is why it's so expensive on a Tiburon. I had the timing
belt replaced on my wife's 2002 Elantra and the cost was something like
$225. Are the engines in a 4-cylinder Tiburon and the Elantra that
different?

had my 2006 elantra done this year for about the same - $250 or so. It
was bundled with some other work so I don't have the breakdown handy.


I will also go back the the point that he needs to check his warranty
and get a better explanation. It may well be time. If he only has
14000 on in in 4 years driven every day he is beating the car to a
slow death. It's either heavy traffic or he is not staying on long
enough to burn out the water and other assorted nastiness. Either way
is hard on the engine.
 
Okay. I understand. The slave cylinder is a 5/60 component. As such i
was no longer within the warranty period at 68k. If you complained abou
the issue prior to the warranty expiring, I think Hyundai should hav
eaten the whole repair, but that's just *my* opinion. On the up side
they did at least contribute to the repair outside the warranty period

Hyundai must use cheap shit since most manufactures replacement interval
is
60 - 100,000 miles with no time frame. they must use better quality belts.
But overall I'd still say Hyundai is the best bang for your buck.

How many of those other manufacturers warrant the car for 100,000 miles?
They use the same belt, but since they are not liable for replacement of the
engine they don't give a damn if you blow the engine. Gates makes most of
the belt used in the industry but there may be others.
 
My Nissan 300Z requires a timing belt change every 60,000 miles too....

Most vehicles with timing belts require it around those years and miles.
 
Don't buy a GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Nissan or BMW either then,
because when we get handles and mouldings, they are just raw plastic without
any primer, and their prep proceedures are to just scuff and shoot them.
 
Bullshit, because I worked in the auto industry, and we either shot all
plastic with a primer ( white black or yellow to name a few) according to
final paint code.
