Hyundai elantra 2008 automatic transmission.
Mileage (60,000)

Owner drained transmission oil and filled it with seahorse dextronIII 2years ago, now transmission is making funny sounds when hot.

Tranny will be drained and flushed via the heat transfer pipes to radiator with KIA SPIII fluid. Hopefully damage to the transmission is not too much.

Personally I feel Kia and hyundai make rugged transmissions.


Washed and ready to go.

They source their transmissions from many manufacturers, from Jatco to Aisin to ZF to GM. They only came up with theirs in 2013, making them one of the very few auto makers with their own transmissions. I would be personally scared of their cars fitted with any of those.

Meanwhile, book two spacers for me wink

Cars with evil problems grin




Still awaiting progress on the "evil" Jag. Let's give it some serious attention this week to cleanse it off it's spiritual problems. smiley
Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by Experience4u(m): 4:49pm On Jul 26, 2015
I think am in the same dilemma, bought a rav4 2004 2.4L and changed the oil it came with to Visco 2000 20w50 and after three months I switched to Hardex 5w30 which is the recommended oil grade. My engine was flushed with a pressure pump of a sort. But after 3 days my engine started smoking whitish blue flame especially during morning hours or when not driven for a long time. I don't know why my engine produces light white smokes but disappears as soon as possible, but with the change of oil, my car idling noise is now hardly heard and superb. Pls gurus what is the cause of the light smoking

Radiator down, the module that controls fan has been butchered and unfortunately I can't get exact fan to buy in the market, so to ensure fan works with a thermostat I'll have to improvise.(thinking of in cooperating a thermostat switching device)

Installing fan and wiring up cooling system in the morning.

Moving to limp mode and other issues.

Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by Experience4u(m): 12:21am On Jul 28, 2015
Head cylinder must come down? What is the disadvantage or risk if I don't change the valve stem seal sir?

Hello Gazzuzz, I have been a follower of your thread for awhile now and i must commend the work you are doing here helping guys with their automobile issues. Its such a pity I'm not based in lagos, would have brought my car for a serious check up.

I drive a 2003 Honda Accord and its been giving me some issues lately and my mechanic has been playing some funny games suggesting different issues here and there which is getting on my nerves. The issue is that, each time i try to start my engine, it will refuse to start after several attempts say like 4-5 times, then it will start and when i try to raise it to move, it won't make a move. I'll have to put it off and then try to start it again after which like up to 5 times, it will then start and move with a serious vibration all over the car.

Another Issue is that, the car vibrates aggressively to the extent you will see the steering wheel vibrating. If i put on my AC, then the vibration will become worse. If i'm in a traffic and parked, the vibration will be so serious i myself will be vibrating along with the car.

This is some of the numerous problems i am facing.

This is the definitation of spiritual problems with a car. Its painful, i am not in lagos, would have brought it to your workshop for serious check up. I think someone else mentioned similar problem here. Please kindly give me an idea of what the problem is so i can face my mechanic squarely when he comes up with ridiculous reasons.

Thanks
