    Decent brands for boiling/freezing refractometer type for P-HOAT coolant?

    I have a 2003 Hyundai Accent, 1.6L 4D, DOHC. Using Valvoline's tool, I get Zerex Blue and Zerex Green for Asian vehicles (I checked the ingredients--they're exactly the same, the only difference is the dye used). It's unfortunately not available as a concentrate (probably so they can package...

    Diagnosing AC system failure?

    tl;dr: the AC hisses, but doesn't cool; what should I do? My Accent's AC went out. It's summer, and even driving with the windows down on the interstate doesn't cool the interior down that much. The dealer said it would be $108 to do the gas flow leak inspection. Here's a video of the noise...

    Floor jack grease

    Pretty sure I'm buying a JEGS 80006 floor jack. I'd like to buy everything at once (and also plug the floor jack topic, since it keeps dying), grease, grease gun, jack, chocks, etc.. The online instructions say to apply grease about once a month, or as needed, and to use general purpose grease...

    LC Accent left side turn signal, mystery cable

    Here's where the problems are: https://youtu.be/MLRZs1ibe50 Since I got this '03 Accent, the thing that maybe has taken longer than figuring out how to fix problems is figuring out what the problems are. I keep finding new ones.

    2nd Gen. LC Accent muffler hanger repair?

    The rear metal hanger rusted out of its weld, as did the bolt heads on the converter pipe. I'm driving without a muffler. I've asked on hyundai-forums and on hyundaiperformance about muffler repair; the best advice I got was to browse around connectors in the aisle of the hardware store and find...

    Tire Gauge Reviews

    I'm looking for the best tire gauge in terms of accuracy, durability, and flexibility (in the chuck swivel, pressure units displayed, connection types, high pressures, etc.). I prefer kPa over PSI, and digital over analog, hose type over single-piece unit, with bleed valve, high-pressure...

    Requesting ID of mystery part in '03 Accent

    Didn't get any responses on hyundai-forums, reposting here; any guesses might save me the trouble of looking through every entry in the service manual and on shopping websites. I don't want to think about what might happen if I can't relocate the part to its installation spot. hyundai-forums...

    Are twenty cylinders enough?

    I'm tired of having trouble getting to work or worried about being stranded because of car trouble. I'm driving a Hyundai Accent 2003, but I've been having to research fixes and improvements since I bought it mid-January. Seems like I've been doing enough modification that I ought to understand...

    Battery terminal recommendations?

    Already wrote out the thing here: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/lc-2000-20...tml#post3150321 "The negative battery terminal is starting to get corroded, and is loose. I have to jiggle the cable to get it to start. I'm shopping for battery terminals now. I've read that I'm going to have to strip...

    Hyundai Accent 2003 engine air recommendations?

    The outside dimensions of a K&N filter are 29 mm x 246 mm x 167 mm, or about 1 x 10 x 7. I don't know where to start. I'm going with a PureOne oil filter. I haven't found an air filter comparison test other than the eyeball one bobistheoilguy did; looking for tests similar to this one...

    2003 Accent, might need winter oil change?

    1. 2003 Accent, 1.5 L 12-valve SOHC Alpha I4; semi-automatic transmission. 2. In the 2003 accent manual, section S030B01A-GAT, there are seven temperature categories for oil. I'm not going to list them all. I bought the Accent last week; the owner had recently changed the oil. I'm going to...
