dgeorge88,
just disconnecting the switch wont work when the door closes on the switch it continus the current hints the light goes out so if u want a quick fix disconnnet and join the wires or you just need to replace the switch

your right they are hydraulic but they are a bladder type bucket when the bladder swells after time i dosent hold the correct oil pressure so they tap cant buy them aftermarket only genuine saying that it could be the cam lobe or the timming belt as you mentioned
cheers

**if anyone knows differently, please correct me. my experience is with the 1.6L which is DOHC**

i have had similar problems with an older car. for me, there was a small pit out of one of the cam lobes that did not affect the car or reliability at all - it simply made some slight valve noise at around 5500-6000rpms.

so there are some possible problems:

- same as above, damage to a cam lobe. remove valve cover and inspect visually.

- cam lobes worn and out of spec, you'd need to remove the camshaft and take a micrometer to the lobes to check this. see Hyundai Service Website for the specs.

- clogged hydraulic passageway in a rocker, then the lash adjustment isn't possible. would require replacement, but for the cost i wouldn't worry about it. not going to damage the engine in any way. dodge neons are famous for this crap.

- timing belt wearing out and then at certain RPM's the timing slips a little bit. belt could be stretched/worn or a pulley could be going such as the tensioner pulley. simply remove the top half of the cover and inspect visually with a good flashlight and inspection mirror. if the T-belt has never been done, you may want to do this anyways.

I think Hyundai cars is not so difficult for engine maintenance

yeah they're easy to fix. loads of room under the hood too, one of the things i really like about them.

Hey I have a good question. I just bought a 2011 Hyundai Genesis and I love the car, but I hate the way the windows rattle if you shut the door a little to rough. Usuall somebody that gets in and doesn't know how anal I am about it. Thanks Danny

Can it be fixed?

[pas1216]

The windows are rather large so when they are down a bit they move around because they are only supported on 3 sides. It happens on all cars with a similar set-up. It happens on my Accent. Only way to fix it........................ keep the windows up.

New Hyundai i30 hood stuck..

pulled the latch from inside the car, tried to open it but it's just stuck (wouldn't open and close). don't want to force open or close it. it's about half an inch open. what to do?
