2001-06 Hyundai Elantra timing belt service procedure part 1

[greydawgjr]

Thank you sir

I have a hyundai Lantra 1.6 (similar to the Elantra) which was previously owned by my late sister. I "think" she changed the timing belt at around 50 thousand miles. However, I'm not sure. Is there any way I can tell by looking at the belt if it is danger of snapping? I have now done 98 thousand miles, and to make matters worse, I am now jobless and skint!

If it needs changing, I'd much rather do it myself rather than pay a "rip-off" car dealer.

Great video by the way :)

lol - one person just paid $600 to have the dealer do this ;)

[Yourmindandme]

Great vid - thanks man!

[WhoSaidTyler]

@hp11208 and now you can!

[hp11208]

@WhoSaidTyler Yes Thanks!

[hp11208]

nice

how long would it take to replace just the tensioner and timing guide? i already had the belt done, but they never replaced tensioner or guide, now im getting a noise and i know its that...im guessing 1.5hr flag time..

[WhoSaidTyler]

@alaskanshorty17 Probably a couple hours. If you are getting noise it could also be the water pump.

[alaskanshorty17]

@WhoSaidTyler you know what lol, it was the power steering pump. I took the belt off the pump and the noise went away.. i was pretty happy, easy fix

[tenchidbz]

Would it just be easyer to just take the engine right out and replace it on a bench or no?

[WhoSaidTyler]

@tenchidbz Hehe....no.

[WhoSaidTyler]

@tenchidbz That's because it's the best one on here. Keep coming back!

[tms500s]

[millstoneridge]

Would this cover a 2006/2007 Kia cerato too? Thanks!!

[WhoSaidTyler]

@millstoneridge It should, as long as it has the 2.0L Beta II engine.

[adztermancoool]

would this work on a 2002 hyundai elantra GT?

[WhoSaidTyler]

@adztermancoool Yes. All 2001-06 Elantra's have the same basic engine.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. IT SAVED ME TON OF MONEY. I TIGHTEN THE TIMING BELT RIGHT ON THE MONEY AS YOU INDICATED ON YOUR VIDEO. IT WAS RIGHT ON. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DOING A TIMING BELT SO OF COURSE WHEN I WAS PUTING ON THE BELTS I KEPT GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF AND HAD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN SOMETIMES THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU LEARN. THE CAR RUNS BETTER AND I M GETTING BETTER GAS MILEAGE. THE HARDEST PART WAS PUTTING BACK ON THE WATER PUMP PULLEY'S.

[DARKSCOPE001]

Thank you very much for posting this video. I really need to do the T-belt on my car. Ive read walk through and manuals on how to do it. But its always very helpfull to watch someone else do this. I do agree with you. I think they could have come up with a much better method of driving the valve train. Like a chain or gears. Oh well its a cheep car what can you say. Thanks again.

[fsv87]

Great vid. Looks like it couldn't hurt to change your valve cover gasket too.

[WhoSaidTyler]

@fsv87 Yes..it's a little seepy but never has actually dripped.

I always screw the bolts in their place, and put the parts in the car/trunk, don't want to lose anything. And it sucks to have a bolt or screw left over...

Timing belts can be a pain to change, and if they break its done for. I don't like them either, but I would rather replace them every 60K then have to do timing chains on a motor when they start to wear out...
