Love my 2000 Accent/4 dr/automatic

Written by: good4u on Feb 24, 2006 05:36 PM

I haven't had any regrets in buying my 2000 Accent with 45K from a local small dealership in May of '04. Paid $4500. It now has 70K, and not one problem. It runs great and has a ton of room for a small car. The only thing I did to it was install a CD player. The overdrive is AWESOME, too! It really saves on gas. This car is so much better than our piece of garbage Plymouth Voyager ... Read More...

Well of course not. The previous-gen Sonata was designed in the mid-90s and debuted in 1998. The newest Hyundais tested by the IIHS debuted five years ago. Not many cars of that vintage are "best picks." Let's wait to see how the new Hyundais like the '06 Accent, with their standard side bags and curtains, fare in the tests. This is a discussion about a '06 model, ... Read More...

I bought my car used and it didn't come with an owner's manual, which is why I'm asking here. Ok, so if it's 3.5 to 3.75 quarts, a gallon of oil should be good enough. Read More...

3 quarts would not be enough. If I remember correctly, it takes between 3.5-3.75 quarts. Read More...

You wrote: Does anyone know how much oil I should put in there for a complete change? I thought it was a gallon (3.78 L), but someone told me it could be less than that? Would three quarts (roughly 3 L) be enough? The exact amount of oil required (in quarts and liters) can be found in your owner's manual, along with pretty good instructions on how to do an oil change, if ... Read More...

I say you should take it to the dealer and see what the problem is. If it's something that costs you under $500, maybe it's worth fixing it. Hyundais are fairly reliable and if you haven't noticed any other problems with your car, it might be worth getting it fixed and getting a couple of more years driving out of this car. How many miles does your car have on it? If it's ... Read More...

Could it maybe the lambda sensor's sooted up... This is the one that's screwed into your engine - exhaust manifold. To clean it you unscrew it out of the manifold, get a clean cloth soaked in petrol and gently clean the tip of the lambda sensor with it. (im assuming your car is petrol not diesel...) If the lambda sensor isn't getting the correct readings it would make ... Read More...

yes, I can keep the car running if i keep the rpms over 2000. The problem does not occur until the engine has warmed up and has been running for 5-10 minutes. Once i let it idle below 2k, it stalls. Thanks. Read More...
