Hello,

This guide shows you the camshaft timing marks toward the bottom of the page.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

My daughter was told that Hyundais are notorious for breaking their timing belts earlier than the recommended replacement time. When is a good time to replace the belt. She has 60,000 miles on it now ; bought it used 6 months ago & is trying to keep it well maintained.Should she change it now or wait ?

Hi sawdustannie,

If the timing had not been replaced yet, now is the time to do it.

Waiting in this case is a dangerous game.

If my timing belt wasnt changed at 90,000kms and now is 20,000 overdue, how long have I got to get it fixed, is this a timebomb? I was quoted $1000 for the job, was my mechanic including labour costs as they said it is time consuming? Do you recommend getting another quote?

With 20k over due, I would definitely try to have it replaced sooner rather than later. The $1,000 estimate is WAY over...it only take about 3 hours on this vehicle to replace the timing belt. An estimate is below of what it should cost you..

if timing belt breaks on 1.6l does it damage valve or piston?

All Hyundai engines, L4 and V-6 are interference engines so yes it is very possible to have valve and piston damage if timing belt breaks during operation.

have every thing off but the lower cover and the pulley how do i get that pulley off?

If you are refering to the harmonic balancer, you need a puller for it. Most parts stores will rent what you need.

my car engine msiing some time when i drive

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following-inspect and test all the following below:
1.Defective spark plug.
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
10.Throttle position sensor.

i would like to know how to line up the timing marks on the engine because my belt broke and now the timing needs to be lined up

instructions on re installing timing belt . I can not get the car to fire

Hi there,
Did this belt break? have you had the head off?

mark (mhpautos)

no the belt did not break and i have already changed it. I am having problems getting the timing right and getting the car to run. I have not had the heads off. I did have a frind check the compression and everything seems fine.

Crank timing settings

crank timing setting are done by computer if off just put it close to tdc on #1 then a pro has to use his scanner to put it in sync with crank sensor.
