I've disconnected the power steering pressure hose at the pump and at the gear, and removed the bracket bolts. It should be ready to pull out. However, the hose gets hung up between where the steering gear and rear motor mount. Any tips on removing the hose?

I've read through the archives and the issue of DIY timing belt changes has come up and the recurring answer is always that the timing belts are a huge PIA and way more troublesome than other makes/models.

What exactly makes that so? Is it that there is so much stuff to remove to get to it, or something else?

I've got a ton of stuff off of my engine right now so that...

I'm going to be upgrading the exhaust to .5" bigger than it is right now in the next few months, but I want to maintain the stock quietness is currently has.

Any ideas?

So: tranny shudder and hursh gear change.

Firstly find out the symtoms that mach with Your bad riding from hmaservice.com
Big % that it is caused by clogged or low resitance (or both) valve solenoid (attached to valve body). Every solenoid valve has its own function. You dont have to take tranny down to get valve-body unmounted from tranny.

I have had to change few...

My XG wants to lurch foward when stopped at a redlight especially with the ac turned on. The lurch isnt violent but more like being nudged from behind by another car. the tachometer flucuates when this happens. any ideas??? thanx

Where can a nice cold air intake setup be found for these XG's. I've done a lot of searching, and I cant really even find one.. except one rather ghetto looking one that I dont care to spend money on to see if it works.

Any ideas or input? Or should i just find larger diameter tubing and clamp an open ended K&N onto the other end?

thanks
Matt

So I found that my right side outer CV boot spilled it's guts and it's been clicking on turns. I'm now trying to remove the axle, but the connection at the intermediate bearing bracket won't let lose. I've pried the **** out of it to no avail and managed to mangle the dust shield and bearing bracket shield in the process. I'm about ready to take a small sledge and knock the...

I have had my XG for about a month now and keep noticing a sound that's driving me crazy. Basically, I can hear it at very slow speeds. Mainly when I accelerate from completely stopped, or when I am slowing down and have almost stopped. I thought it was only when AC was on, but it's not. The best way to describe it is a grinding sound. Almost like a diesel engine or a noisy fan. It...

Why does my rearview mirror keep angling down after hitting bumps, or bass hits hard and knocks it down? It's REALLY pissing me off!!

Matt

Well long story short, since day one of owning this car, it's been constant cels' and things breaking. Not cheap things, either.
I'm the second owner, the previous owner has a 100k 10year factory mile warranty, the a pile of receipts of repairs a mile thick. For one, this car has sludge at 88k miles. It actually just turned like 102k miles.
Well anyways I've had a...

What does mean dtc code P1155? My speedometer stops on 140km/h and 3000rph....it looks like max speed...and it pulse...help please....sorry for my English default/' '' />

Will a 3.5 bolt directly up in place of my stock 3.0l? The 3.5 has a lot more power so I'm thinking about picking one up.

How is gasmileage on the 3.5 as opposed to the 3.0l?

Thanks for the help

Matt

With your XG's? Just curious. I average a solid 21mpg in the city, and anywhere from 26-32mpg on the highway.. about 70-75 w/ no ac on is about 32mpg.. 80mph w/ the ac on is around 26-28, depending.

What do you guys get?

Matt

Hi guys,

Just wondering the if anyone knows the distance between the mounting bolt holes of your XG front brake calipers?

Cheers

Hi, the check engine light has come on. what should I be looking to replace? where should I start?

2001 XG

Anyone interested in buying an 2000 Hyundai Grandeur 3.0L V6 140,000Km on the clock.

8000 ono.

I've heard that these cars have sludge problems? Why? And what causes it in these cars?

How can you fix it?

hello does anyone know about a malfunction indicator light that has come on in my xg30/xg300 I have just bought the car today and the light came on after 30 miles of motorway driving back home. Just hope its not costly and if anyone knows that would be great! i love the car, it looks great and was reasonable so would be upset if it was a big x

How many miles should you change your plugs on the XG's? And which is the best kind to swap them out with?

Are stock suffice? Or is there a better alternative as per aftermarket?

Thanks

Matt

I notice that sometimes upon accelerating from a stop, the car shudders like crazy, then out of nowhere takes off like a bat out of ****.

What is this?

My cel is on btw

When I sit in traffic w/ the ac on, the idle will drop a few hundred rpm, then go back up. Just randomly. It's not all the time. Only sometimes. But it's still annoying.

Any ideas?

Matt

I've done some browsing on this site in the past, and noticed that someobody who got an exhaust and intake for his XG was getting like 37mpg highway??

My XG is my highway and travelling car. I take it on trips from NC back home in NY, so I'm trying to get every ounce of better gas mileage i can. This car fits my requirements for a travelling car, I just want to squeeze a bit...

Hello every one.I have Hundyai XG2001 95000 miles. Last week my check engine light becomes on. When i checked the code it says P0720- O/p speed sensor. I checked with pepboys they says the out put speed sensor is fine,transmission fluidis balck so check with Amaco. i checked with them they says that O/p speed sensor is not able to reconize the speed becuase of some metal paricles in transmission...

The blower doesnt work, but it works just fine when connected direcltly to the accu.
But in the car the blower gets 10V only when fan speed is 4, but the fan still aint working... with speed 3 , 2 and 1 the voltage is 0V and of corse fan aint working.

Fuses are good.

So is it a relay or switch or what?

I notice that if I have cruise control set, and I come up to even the slightest hill, the car will do a downshift and just cruise at like 3-3.5k rpm's.. even after the hill diminishes and it's flat surface.

The car has decent power.. even in 5th in overdrive (at btw), but why such a hasty downshift??

Matt

The inside of the headlamps is staining and looking rather pooey.. how can that be cleaned? I can't seem to open up the headlamps w/out breaking things. And I'd rather not take the whole assembly out and mess up the alignment of the lights.

Any ideas?

Matt

Car: 1999 Hyundai Grandeur XG

Problem: Transmission gets stuck in 3rd gear.

Explanation:

I will be driving along in 5th gear when suddenly BAM i get a huge jerk and my car is RPM'n at 4K and im now stuck in 3rd gear. I can use my tip-tronic to get down to 2nd gear but thats it. My only option is to avoid an accident when ever it happens...

I was wondering how much performance difference would putting 4 new hi-flow cats on the XG make.

I'm thinking it will be a large difference, since the stock ones are always really restrictive, and since there is 4... should be a big improvement right?

Thanks all
Matt

I bought a used 2002 XG350 and it came with a single key and no key fob. If I picked up a keyfob online and programmed it or had it programmed, would it be able to work with my car? Thanks,

My needs a few items to get it into order. The check engine light came on and threw a DTC code P0350 - "Ignition coil primary/secondary circuit malfunction."

It looks like there are three coils, each driving two cylinders. I do not get DTC codes indicating misfires on any cyls. If I did I suppose I could just swap coils around to ID the bad one.

Any hints on where...

Went to start my '04 GX350L after filling the tank up from a day of driving and there was NO power - no lights, no radio, no nothing! I popped the hood to check battery (both cables are tight, very tight) and then the car started up no problem. All the presets went back to factory defaults and the radio had to be reprogamed. I was able to start and drive the car no problem for a couple...

Besides the increased capacity, what differences is there between the two engines ? How many of the parts are interchangeable ?

Thanks all.

Alright so on my way home i blew my amplifier fuse for my subs and now when i stop at a light the engine speed drops than goes up to about 1500 rpm than down than back up and eventually stalls. I can do the left on brakes, right on gas but that sucks.

The weird thing is, when its cold and i start it, it will be fine. Put it into gear without moving, good. Let off the brakes and crawl,...

The XG350 has what looks like a rear tow hook connected to the gas tank?
Does anyone know the purpose for this? I want to tow a small car for a couple miles and was wondering if I could just hook a tow rope to that hook on the rear. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike

(1) I have an intermittent problem with my remote locking on a 2000 Grandeur XG. The problem is that occaisionally when I press the remote, the doors lock but the lights do not flash and I suspect that the immobiliser does not arm. I have 2 remotes, I have replaced the batteries in both but both will give the same problem.
I suspect that I have a dirty connection or a dry joint somewhere on...

Hi there.. Just purchased a 2001 Hyundai XG300L like 3 hours ago..lol..
I have a couple issues I would like to fix:

1st, the Fuel Empty light will not reset.. it just always says "Fuel Empty" and the car has gas in it.

2nd the radio was working wonderful then I engaged the rear defrost and it went to static.

Any troubleshooting ideas?

Vehicle : 1999 Hyundai Grandeur (XG) 3.0L V6 engine

There is three devices(one per spark plug) that sit above the spark plugs on the front bank of cylinders.

There seems to be a part number c98-27300 on them, the number may be incomplete due to all three stickers showing signs of wear.

Can anyone help me identify what they are ? Will call up Hyundai spare parts in...

There seems to be something wrong with the auto mode- or lights.

In the auto mode I remember the parking lights used to go on with the head lamps.
Now only parking lights (5W) go on. Headlights go on when it goes dark outside.

The headlights should be on all the time , correct?
Also the clock lighting seem to work half good. Is it related with the headlamp problem?

Hi all.. I'm about to undertake doing a brake job on my mother-in-law's '02 XG350. I've done brakes before on my US made cars, but this will be my first one on a foreign car. I'm expecting it to be uneventful, but nevertheless, I thought I'd stop by here first.

Her car has the classic brake pedal and steering wheel vibration when braking indicative of a...

Hi

I've seen an XG30 (2000 W reg). Is there anything I should be looking out for/checking when buying one?

Is there a Haynes manual or equivalent for this model? (or is it similar to another model)

What's going on guys? I'm new to the forums and have a couple of questions. My future brother-in-law has I think maybe an 01-02 xg300 and needs his brakes changed. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on which pads to go with? also where is the best place to buy them? any online stores have better prices etc...

Thanks in advance guys

Hi, Has anyone got or does anyone know of an XG for breaking? I need the rear window aerial/antenna amplifier. It is located behind the trim on the C pillar RHS. I expect to pay for a good one of course. Thanks.

I am thinking about buying a 2001 XG300L from a private party here in Ohio, USA. I spoke to him for about 30 minutes tonight. He told me that he has had it for 3 years. 3 weeks after he bought it, he had to replace the motor and the transmission. Both have 60,000 miles on them. Since then, he says there were no problems until last November when he had the alternator replaced. (I didnt think twice...

Hi. I replaced the filter and pump on my xg but it won't start now. When I turn the car over some fuel comes out where the fuel line plugs into the top of the pump assy, but it's not much. Any ideas why my xg might not be pumping?

Thanks, Mike

Hey Guys,

Its like the engine is missing when driving and even idling. I took it to the service center in Wollongong NSW (im on the south coast of NSW) and had them service it and asked them to look at it but after the service the problem was still there.... the service tech said they put it on the...

My output speed sensor is going in my 01 XG300. Does anyone know where its located? I just don't wanna bring it to the dealership and get hosed again.

Thanks
