Indys and dealers in southern Colo are at least 30 days out
Hyundai Tucson 1.6T Hybrid, engine damaged before first service is due
- Thread starter m3dh
- Start date
Yeah, that was loooong time ago. That being said, VW was first folksy brand to offer dual clutch at the end pf 90’s. The question is: how other brand, after 25yrs of know-how, can’t learn from other manufacturers mistakes?
Hyundai can’t afford those transmissions.
Yeah the newest TDI i worked on is a 2013 i think. CJAA diesel and the dual mass flywheel was now just 2 flywheels that clattered together.
It's the dry clutches. They have weak manual transmission clutches aswell. The composition of the clutch material got changed for the dct to reduce the issues, but the transmission needs reprogrammed aswell or it's undriveable.
Oh so kia did a ford powershift thing.
I guess, it's not so easy doing dry dual clutch transmissions, part of the problem is unaware drivers as it looks like a regular automatic
You'd be surprised how cheap some parts are made. If a third party supplies a part that often fails, we get a new part number with new cost, only to be used for warranty repairs. $600 parts for $2.50 or less
That sounds like an availability/dealer issue
Long blocks exist
That doesn't mean they're available unfortunately
I watched them put one in a 2020 Elantra
What are you working on today?
Two post holes. One took near two hours. Don't ask. Built a rolling stand for my new table saw. Which I need to shim. I didn't even realize the metal stand part does not sit flat, plus one of my 2x6's is slightly twisted (wish I would have caught that) no biggie doh. Nice having a planer.

Anecdotally, Theta II seems to get short blocks, Nu and Gamma have increased odds of getting a long block
Hyundai and Kia brands have been like a glorified Walmart brand. The masses buy them out of convenience and because they are plentiful, but quality is questionable.
H/K better course correct soon, or else there will be endless “rise and fall” videos cropping up online.

I should be able to tell if our old heads and intake are on a new block once we get the Sonata back. I'm also curious if the starter will get replaced, as we tried cranking multiple times. My mechanic didn't believe it would be seized until we pulled the serpentine belt off and tried turning it by hand. It would crank a very small amount with a fully charged booster pack, but that was it.That sounds like an availability/dealer issue

105K, that's a good start.
Hyundai makes good autos.
If you look from appliance perspective, maybe. Just saying that in context here.
Well they are better than what Ford makes. A car is an appliance. They make great 6 and 8 speeds autos for the Genesis .
That is the key statement. Every manufacture builds crap engines nowadays. Technology has nothing to do with it, its all about cheap cheap cheap. The goal is build the item for maybe a manufacturing cost of $200. max and then charge $6,000. to $20,000. or more for it.
Not sure what a complete H/K engine cost is but something like a Mercedes can be into the $50k or more range, oh and still a very low manufacturing cost, all the rest is profit.

No, it's a different company we deal with. Hyundai USA vs the importer for belgium
The RWD transmissions by Hyundai/Kia seem to be good, they must've learned a thing or two from ZF autos that they used prior to 2012 in the Genesis.
But their FWD transmissions are the majority and are the problem. The Santa Fe automatic, the DCT in Tucson and other models, and so on...
Engines built for $200?
Yeah, right.
