Can someone attach a trailer hitch to a Hyundai elantra and pull a airstream behind the car or not?

I have a Hyundai elantra and am thinking about pulling an airstream behind it.Is this possible or will the laws of physics be against me?|||It may pull it, but it will not pull it far.





The Elantra has a larger towing capacity than most cars (3086 lbs if you have trailer brakes) and most Airstream Trailers weigh much more than that.





You will be putting extreme stress on your vehicle, and will cause it to fail prematurely.|||Try to find a trailer hitch for the car that will handle that big of a trailer.... you can't...why, you don't pull them with a front wheel drive car. I found that out with a much larger front wheel drive car than you are talking about.|||not enough car too much trailer|||r u kidding me?

Where are the spark plugs of a 2000 Hyundai elantra located?

The engine light of my hyundai Elantra 2000 came on. It says there is a miss fire in cylinder 3. I just replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it was running fine for about a week. Someone said I should replace my spark plugs. I am not exactly sure where they are located on the Elantra.|||I have an 05 Elantra. On my car their is a plastic cover over the top of the engine , held on by 4 bolts . Remove these bolts and the cover lifts right off . Directly underneath right on top the engine you will see 4 plug wires coming in . Lift by the boots of these wires to remove the plug wire from the plug. The plugs will be recessed down in their about 5 inches , you will need a sparg plug socket and an extension to reach down in there. Install the new plugs and once they are snug give them another half turn. I suggest pulling one plug at a time and replacing with the new so as not to cross the plug wires . It really is an easy job that anyone can do. The new platinum plugs will run about $3 each X 4 + $12 . You will save around $40 or more on labor . Just did mine this week , It took me all of about 20 minutes.|||If you can't find the spark plugs... I would suggest you take the car someplace and have it repaired.|||Follow the distributor wires|||refer internet

How much will it cost me to replace the front axle in a 1999 Hyundai Elantra?

The CV joints in my Hyundai are going bad. Several people have told me that it's better to replace the whole front axle.





I'm just looking for a ballpark figure on how much this repair should cost, including parts and labor.|||You can get a Constant Velocity Joint (CV) for around $100 new or $50 for a remanufactured one from a parts store like Napa, etc.





I would say the whole bill would be in the ballpark of around $300-$400 including labor if everything went ok.

How good are Hyundai's and How long do they last?

I am looking into possibly buying a 2005 Hyundai Elantra, any suggestions? Whats your experience with hyundai? I have never owned a Hyundai before.|||I have 2 of them... a 2003 and a 2007, both bought new. By the performance of the 2003 I bought the 2007 and have found both very good cars. If to do over I would still buy the cars and when looking for another new car, 99% chance it will be another Hyundai. I do not and will not baby my cars so I drive them hard and the Hyundai's have taken my abuse. I pay cash for my cars so I can afford what I want and If someone doesn't believe that, put your money where your mouth is and I'll show you the titles without a lean holder.|||the Elantra has been a good, reliable car. a 2005 is 5 years old, however. so mileage and maintenance will play a part. any car which has been neglected or abused won't "last" as long





the Elantra isn't known for giving unforeseen problems, but depending on age and mileage certain things need to be done. has the oil been changed regularly? coolant replaced? brakes serviced, power steering fluid changed, and the auto trans serviced? at 60,000m the timing belt is also scheduled for replacement. that is very important and is expensive at a dealer, a lot less from an independent shop.





so how "long do they last?" well, here are a couple of links for your research

that is 226 owner reviews and impressions of the '05 Elantra. if its been taken care of and you like the way the car drives and stuff, it should treat you as well as any car and go a good number of miles|||I have a 2004 Elantra and just took it in for my 60,000 mile maintenance (I don't put a lot of miles on my car), but so far it's been a really good car for me. No major problems. While I was at the dealership the other day a lady who brought in her Tuscon was telling me about her sister who had bought an Elantra about 10 years ago and put over 200,000 miles on it! She had since sold the car, but it's running strong for the other owners as well.|||Theyre not a top car company so they have to make long lasting cars to sell them. Not like Ford with the Mustang. Its flashy so you pay more for that. But when I think "new car" Hyundai isnt my first choice.|||They last longer than the guy making steak upstairs

What size of speakers fit in a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe?

I wanted to know what size of speakers to buy for my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS V6. Please specify sizes for the front and for the back.

How much does it cost to paint a Hyundai Elantra?

I live in Toms River, New Jersey and I recently bought a gold 2002 Hyundai Elantra. It has black tinted windows in the back and i would like to get the car painted black. Its my first car and i got it really cheap from a family friend for $2700 so I'm not looking to spend a lot on painting it,but I don't want it to be some really crappy job either. How much would it be to get a cheap decent paint job and if anyone knows where I could get one done would be a great help too !


Thanks :)|||Depends on where you have it done and how much rust/dents need to be repaired. Cost for a cheap job, about $300/$400.. for a good job about $4000/ $6000. A good job done right could would be higher.|||A scuff and shoot paint job with decent paint about $1500, that doesn't include fixing any scratches, dents, etc. For a nice properly done paint job with decent paint $2500.

Where can I go to have automatic folding side mirrors installed on a 2007 Hyundai Sonata in NJ?

Folding mirrors are not standard or optional on 2007 Hyundai Sonatas. Therefore, this would have to be a custom job.|||He's talking about electronically folding mirrors, that is not standard except on maybe the Genesis. Yes, most cars have mirrors you can manually fold, on my Azera it was an option. I don't know where in NJ you can get it done, call some performance or repair shops.|||What??? the Hyundai EXCEL had folding mirrors, but there was a thing you wedged into them after you folded them to keep them there.





you SHOULD have folding mirrors, pull toward you hard, it will give, and flex back.|||?????????????? my 2003 has folding mirrors???????????|||Are you sure yours aren't the folding type? I have a 2007 Hyundai Accent, they were on it when I bought it and the Accent is a cheaper model than the Sonata

Would a battery from a 1995 Saturn work in a 2002 Hyundai Accent GL?

I bought a battery for my old 1995 Saturn but then the engine quit in it so I kept the battery. Now I bought a 2002 Hyundai Accent GL but it needs a new battery. Would the battery from the Saturn work in the Hyundai?|||A battery is a battery, except for 2 things. The amp rating or cranking power, and the type of terminals. Side mount threaded or top mount posts. Yes it will work. The issue is in how well it works, which is determined by the amperage. Compare one with the other. The Saturn one should have the same or higher amp rating. A lower rating will work but wear out faster, and may cause other undesired electrical problems.|||Yes. If they utilize the same type of connectors. Side post / Top post.

I have seen on other websites that the programming for other cars is available. Does anyone know where a site is that can direct me to obtaining this?|||with the hyundias or at least all the new modles it will have to bo done at the dealership. they have to use the scantool to program the remotes. this is the only way to do it now.

My 2005 Hyundai Elantra makes a squeaky sound when I turn the wheel to the max, whats the problem?

(The car is a stick-shift) My 2005 Hyundai Elantra makes a squeaky sound when I turn the wheel to the max, whats the problem?|||The power steering system is at its maximum limit and therefore it is trying to do more than it was intended to do. Dont turn the wheel to the limit, kinda useless as the wheels hit a steering stop built into the system.|||Sounds like you might be complaining about a belt squeal. The belt tension might be a little lose. a way to check it is to spray a little WD 40 onto the inside of the belt and then try turning the wheel to one side and see if the noise goes away|||Sounds like you need to check your power steering belt

What should I have done to my Hyundai Accent during a 60,000 mile service?

I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent L, drives great. Different garages offer different services as part of their 60,000 mile maintenance package. What is most important and what should I make sure gets done?|||New Engine. Gearbox and all main components|||Yes check your owner's manual to be sure.However a timing belt is often overlooked it is time.|||Timing belt.


All Hyundai's recommend getting the timing belt changed at 60,000 miles. If you wait longer, you could break your engine.


They will probably check your brakes, tires, fluids, and battery power.|||1) I would go ahead and change your timing belt. Hyundai still uses a disgusting interferance engine. (Flat or domed pistons) So if your belt breaks about 2000RPM you will trash your valves and at 4000rpm do so much damage to your heads, pistons that its not worth the risk.





2) Tranny flush at 75k...its prolly to late, pull out the dip stick and smell it, if its burnt smelling just leave it alone, changing/flushing will do more harm then good.





3) Ignition systems: 60-75k is a good time to change your ingition system. its cheap and easy.|||That info can be had from the dealer or in the manual

My 2004 Hyundai Tiburon's tailgate release button is not working how do I fix it?

It is a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 and whenever I try to use the trunk release it does not work. I have looked at the fuse and it seems visibally fine.|||Despite what Smokeybacon/Edgar/HonestJohnny/JPSenior said, the next thing to check is the switch itself. If the fuse is fine, then its likely the switch/release button is not working. You can order a new part from your dealers parts department.|||there could be a pinched or messed up wire somewhere in the hatch circuit, or the popper could have failed also. see if you can get a wire diagram and start checking power and ground wires.

Would a Hyundai Tiburon change my insurance?

I currently drive a 6 cylinder, four-door sedan and was planning on selling it for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. I was wondering if the drastic change in car would increase the price I pay for insurance. I am still classed as a "newly licensed driver".|||I have a Tiburon and insurance companies do not consider it a sports car for insurance... so you will not find any drastic change in your insurance cost. I would guess it will still be the same or maybe just a little higher, but not by much.|||I used to drive a 3.0ltr toyota pickup and now im in a 2.0ltr tibby; it reduced my quote by 拢700 pounds! (i was a new driver like yourself) the 2 litre uses an un tuned version on the mitsubishi evos 2.0 ltr but as its classified as a hatchback and not a coupe (ironically) it hugely reduces you quote. you will actually find that switching will save you money!





the cars a gem, the engine is bullet proof and the boot space is insane as you can fold the rear seats flat. great car and very good value.|||Very easy just call whoever it is you have insurance with and they can tell you what the difference is regarding the price if any at all. Mostly your premiums are reflected by your age and driving record, the car may not make that big of a difference.|||You can compare how the insurance quotes would change, for example here - autoinsurance.bebto.com

What type of metal is a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 Flywheel made out of?

What type of metal is a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 Flywheel made out of? Cast Iron? Billeted Steel?





My uncle a mechanic also says that the flywheel usually never needs to be replaced when replacing a clutch if it is made out of cast iron because it is so hard to thin down.|||Cast Iron.|||Most flywheels are made of cast iron or steel. I'd ask a dealer repair shop which one the Tiburon uses.

How to save radio stations in a Hyundai Santa Fe?

I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I don't know how to save my favorite radio stations. I think the manual said to hold down the "band" button but I don't see that button. Does anyone know?











Thank you!|||Tune in the station you want to save and press the any of the channel select buttons, hold it for a few seconds and it will lock on.

What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?

Just got an '07 Sonata today, and want to take as good care of it as possible to make it last the longest. As for future oil changes, what brand of oil should I go with? Hyundai does recommend Quaker State, but I heard that Pennzoil is also very good.|||If your are still under your factory warranty, you must change your oil every 3000 miles, or you will void your warranty. With Hyundai's extended powertrain warranty, give them no excuse to not honor any issues that may arise with your engine. As far as what oil to use, Quaker State would be fine. Your oil changes can be done anywhere, as long as you keep a receipt for your service records. Enjoy your Sonata!





Ricart Auto|||penzoil is good but i would go with moible clean 5000, i swear this stuff is great you can go 5000 miles between changes and its still preety cheap i paid 1195 for 5 quarts. when i changed the oil after 5000 miles it still was pretty clean as well not like alot of oils that if you go 5k on it will be blacker than the crude that it comes from. also use a quality filter as well like a bosch or k%26amp;n oil filter. bosch filter is like 5 buck and the k%26amp;n oil filter is like 12 bucks. |||the best luck i've had with conventional oils is Castrol GTX. i get the best gas mileage out of it.


after that the mobile 5000 has been the best i've used.





if you are brilliant, and go to synthetic oils (longer life, better fuel economy), i've had the best luck with Castrol Syntec, followed by Quaker State Q power and Pennsoil platinum. i've had weird results from Amsoil and Royal Purple (they give great result at first that quickly drops off), little change with Mobile 1 (very little improvement in fuel economy) and negative results with Valvoline (fuel economy actually dropped vs conventional oil)

How to save radio stations in a Hyundai Santa Fe?

How much money would it cost me to drive 500 miles in a Hyundai Sonata 2011?

I'm supposed to go somewhere thats about 500 miles away. I will be driving a hyundai sonata 2011 and most of the driving will be on the highway which is like 65 mph.|||Approx $80|||Work it out yourself. Look at the car's fuel consumption rates so find the average mpg which you think this car will do on the trip. Then with that number you can divide 500 by that average number of mpg you will get out the thing and then you can work out how many litres you need. Then multiply that many litres by the average price of petrol. I think this is right anyway.|||Assuming there will be Toll to pay:





$1-$25 toll depending on highways and bridges you might take.





As for gas, you will only need to fill up the tank once. Depending on the gas prices in your area and how much gas you already have in your car when you start your trip, it can be anywhere from $40 to $90.|||Considering the Sonata gets 35mpg on the highway, you can expect to use at least 14.3 gallons of fuel.





I don't know what fuel prices are where you're at, but here it's about $3.30 per gallon, which means you'd pay at least $47 in fuel.|||1 tank of gas will get you there with some to spare. On a recent long trip, over 4000 miles, I averaged 37 mpg running mostly about 80 mph on interstates with a 2011 Sonata carrying a lot of weight.

Does a clogged fuel filter prevent a Hyundai from Starting?

I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent GL 5 speed manual trans. The car won't start. I can here the starter motor clicking, but the engine won't crank. I want to know if a clogged fuel filter can cause this problem. I'd rather change the fuel filter first (which has never been changed, ever) before I remove the hard to access starter motor. Tell me if this can cause the engine to not crank.


Also, if you have any diagrams or resources to change the fuel filter, i'd appreciate it.|||A clogged fuel filter could keep it from running but has nothing to do with the engine turning over. Check the battery first and make sure it is OK (make sure the post are clean also), if it is all right than check the starter.|||It could keep the engine from running ,but it wouldn't keep the engine from turning over , i would say that you have a weak battery ,loose battery cable or the starter is bad . If it's the starter you should be able to PUSH start the car by turning the key on with the transmission in third gear ,now hold the clutch in until the car is moving around 5 - 10 mph,then let off (up) of the clutch , when the engine starts push both clutch %26amp; brake in(down) to stop the car.|||its the starter... its happened to three of my old cars. if it was fuel it would turn over but never start. it you hear a clicking noise and nothing happens its the starter. sorry it wasnt something easier but dont waste time and money with a fuel filter. i have a 87 chevy with the original filter they dont get that clogged.|||your starter solenoid is probly shot!
