As some of you may have realised, the web site link to download the manual has expired. I got it from ebay and paid US $6 to get it but when I looked at it I asked for my money back as I didn't think it was what I wanted. I still have it in PDF form but it is huge!!

AutoGuide was recently invited by Hyundai to take a ride in its new flagship Equus luxury sedan, which is due out in the U.S. in 2011. We posted some initial impressions immediately afterward and have since prepared a little video of the car and our chat with Hyundai Motor America’s VP of Marketing Joel Ewanick.

Test drives aren’t allowed as the three models Hyundai has brought over from Korea are prototypes (complete with Korean navigation systems and gauges in km/h) so we had to settle for being chauffeured around, which one could argue, is really the best way to experience the Equus.

On a Hyundai Atos Prime 2004 ( about 30000 miles ) 1.1 liter engine the check engine light turn on.
In the car there is just a little bit loss of power.
I would like to know if could be a regular maintenance problem or is a fault.
More than this i would like to know where are located the camshaft sensor and the lambda sensor and how can i check it if they are broken ( like resistance or voltage value on the connector ).


Thanks a lot.

Anyone have any tips or know what tools are needed for this ?

Cheers,

Rob

Just found out that the tires on my new hyundai accent have to be replaced prior to this winter. The mileage on tires is only 38000 km and i got them when purchased the new car. This assessment was done by a friend who is a mechanic. Is this not unusual to get such low mileage. About 95% of driving is city driving and proper tire pressure was kept.Can i go back to hyundai and expect compensation? The tires are KUMO.
Not happy and completely disatissfied

Hi All,
my name is Dave a newbie to this forum, Each winter I have problems starting when the temperature is low Minus 5% and beyond, I am using good winter grade Diesel,using Anti-Gel had new Glow-plugs fitted last year ,my battery his high power at 100amp , I resulted to staring the vehicle ever hour using timed start on remote and running for 15 minutes which of course is rather expensive , if I dont this and vehicle stands all night then if it does not trt on first turn then no chance.
I would be very pleased if antone could offer any suggestions.
thank you

Hi, i posted a topic with regards to my Hyundai pony X2 not exceeding 50mph, and won`t go up hills. Have had a look a carb and noticed that there is no fuel coming through on second venturi, butterfly valve operating of the venturi but no fuel, this is i presume why it won`t go any faster.
Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to repair fault.
Thanks

my centrel locking system in my y reg hyundia accent car keeps blowin the fuse its only happend since ive changed my drivers door due to a car crash

Hi, Hoping someone can help me. I have a 1994 pony 1296 cc . It has done just over 35600 miles. 320 miles ago timing belt was changed. Since i have owned the car , about 2 months it has run like a dream. The problem is that i went to use it last weekend, drove it down the road but there was hardly any acceleration, very slow and when i got up there to 50mph it would go no faster. Up hills it is a nightmare, 1st gear sometimes!!!.

I have had timing rechecked, plugs ,points,rotor arm and dizzy cap all ok. Fuel and air filter changed. It starts first turn of the key, idles nicely and even when you rev it , it does`nt miss a beat. It just seems to have a problem under load whilst driving. THE CAR USES NO OIL, WATER AND NO SMOKE. Can someone please help or offer any ideas to the cause of the problem. I have had a look but there are so many valves an solenoids i just don`t know where to start.
Thanks

Hello, i am new to this forum. I have an 04 Xg350L with the upgraded Infinity Stereo system. I am trying to put in a aftermarket Pioneer radio. I have installed several radios in the past and this is the only one i have had problems with. I bought a new harness to attach to the OEM harness for the radio and when i plug it into my Pioneer, the radio turns on but i have no sound from any speakers. I have checked all my connections and everything was connected how it was supposed to be, is there something i need to do, like bypass the amplifiers or something? Does anyone have an suggestions on how to fix this problem? Any response would be greatly appreciated.

i have a galloper for a few years now but when i wanted to read the user manual i relised it was in german. and i was wondering if anyone has a manual for the galloper in english

Good afternoon,

I'm new to the site, but have just purchased a 2000 model Galloper II turbo intercooler automatic. So far, I have only seen the car in photos as I am offshore, but my wife is using it every day.

She tells me that it has no power and is incapable of exceeding 80km/hr. There is no smoke, no strange noises and everything else seems fine.

Is there anything obvious that i should get checked? I'm new to diesels, so it'll be a steep learning curve...

Thanks in advance

Hi there,


besides being my daily driver, my Galloper is also the instrument for my off road adventures and weekend escapades with the girlfriend. I am a car enthusiast and thus HAVE to, constantly, be improving my rides.
This car has already some tweaks. However, the acquiles heel of this sort of car is naturally the loss of traction when one front and one rear wheel are light on the ground.

Does anybody have any knowledge regarding a mitsu-origin device, ARB, easytrac, anything that can be adopted for the Galloper? I've searched everywhere without success.


Thanks for your help, regards from Portugal

Hi Everyone...

I have a 99 Galloper 2.5TD Intercooler SWB

1.I cannot figure out how to replace the parking bulb (Front, left)
I removed the washer fluid tank to reach the headlight...removed the plug from bulb housing and thats where Im stuck. How to remove the rest to reach the bulb?

2.Also...maybe somebody can advice. When i turn the headlights on, sometimes the dash panel and rear lights do not light up, only front lights...then after few tries it comes up, but sometimes I cannot get them turned on at all. Any help please?
Thank you in advance

3. The mechanic told me that front left upper ball joint (cv joint?) is worned out ... I cannot locate any spares...I wonder if anyone had fitted the ball joint off Pajero Gen. 1? Maybe somebody can help with part number or link on ebay for the part?

THANK YOU

Along with an electric version of the company's tiny i10, Hyundai will also unveil an innovative hybrid CUV concept at the Frankfurt Auto Show in just over a weeks time.

As a part of Hyundai's Blue drive initiative, the ix-Metro is powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine mated to an electric motor. Designed for Europe, this model is particularly interesting as it is a sub-compact crossover. It also gets a state-of-the-art six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

As for the electric i10, it will get a 65hp (49 kW) electric motor with a range of 100 miles.

In addition to these Blue Drive vehicles, Hyundai will also have on hand the Elantra LPI Hybrid and the Blue Will Plug-In Hybrid Electric concept vehicle.

Production vehicle debuts include the 2010 Tucson and the updated 2010 Santa Fe.

Well I can see this forum is for the newer Hyundai cars, but it might give everyone some encouragement to know how well Mitsubishi motors etc. last.

Yes, I am still driving a 1985 Pony, with the 1.6 L engine. Only two owners, and neither of us drives a lot, and certainly not hard. Less than 200,000 km. on the car [so far ]. I do all the maintenance myself, and nothing so serious as to need a mechanic has every gone wrong with it.

It works good. I just drove it on a 1200 km. trip back home, no problems, just a little overheating on some hills on a very hot day [38oC ; 100oF].

However, it recently quit on me. It was just warming up, then started running rough, then farted and stopped altogether. I have been able to get it to fire up briefly, roughly, but it won't keep running.

I got it home and am trying to figure it out: There is gas in the carb, and I got a strong spark at the plugs after making some adjustments... and the contact points are sparking good too. So I was thinking TIMING BELT?

But the parts place tells me it has a TIMING CHAIN. Is that true? And, if so, could it have slipped a notch or something?

When I get it to fire, it makes a groaning sound when it quits. Is that a clue?

Can anyone help me with this? I still don't think this car is ready for the scrap heap, and I have resolved to not get a new car until I can get an electric one.... just another couple years....

High-pitched noise coming from near headlight (passenger side) when car is not running. Continues after you start the car, sometimes it will stop after 10 or 15 minutes. Then sometimes when you come back outside to get in the car, it is making the noise again.

It seems to have something to do with the keyless entry/alarm system. I only say that because if you lock or unlock the car with the remote the pitch of the noise changes.

Earlier this week Hyundai announced that it would launch the company's Korean market Equus flagship right here in the U.S. And to help promote the car, Hyundai decided to show-off a few examples of its top-tier luxury sedan at one of the world's most high-profile automotive events: the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

While in town to cover the concours, Hyundai invited AutoGuide along for a ride to experience some of what the Equus is all about. Test drives aren't allowed as the cars on display are Korean prototype models (complete with Korean navigation systems and gauges in km/h) so we had to settle for being chauffeured around, which one could argue, is really the best way to experience the Equus.

Designed to compete with the world's best, the Equus is based on the Genesis Sedan platform but is a good deal larger.

At 74.8-inches wide, it's thicker than an S-Class or Lexus LS. The wheelbase is relatively short for this type of vehicle at 119.9-inches and with an overall length of 203.1-inches (just slightly longer than the long wheelbase LS460), don't expect it to handle like a BMW 750i. Then again, that's not what vehicles like this were meant for.

Hyundai continues to shake up perceptions of what a Korean automaker can be, announcing today that it will offer its flagship Equus sedan in the U.S. starting next year.

The Equus is based on the same architecture as the Genesis, but is noticeably larger. Hyundai intends that it will compete with the world’s premiere luxury saloons including the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class and Lexus LS.

“We showed the car at the New York Auto Show earlier this year, and the response was fantastic,” says John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “Since then, we’ve had a fleet traveling around the country, capturing input from our dealers and consumers. Here, too, the response was extraordinarily positive, and similar to the market reaction to the award-winning Genesis, so we’ve decided to bring it to the U.S.”

Thanks the the prying eyes and quick fingers of one amateur spy photographer in Sydney, Australia, we have this single image of the upcoming second-generation Hyundai Tucson. Driving alongside a truck with a full camera rig, Hyundai was apparently filming either a commercial or some promotional video.

And while we now know what the SUV looks like (at least from one angle), what still isn’t clear is what the crossover will be called. It’s known as the ix35 is most markets, but Hyundai might keep the Tucson name for North America.

More: Next-Generation Hyundai Tucson Uncovered on AutoGuide.com

Hyundai shocked consumers in the North American market by introducing the Genesis last year and is set to do so all over again as the flagship Equus luxury sedan is scheduled to go on sale here next year.

At the time of the announcement the Equus was slated to get the company’s largest engine, the 4.6-liter V8 found in the top-trim Genesis sedan. Now it appears Hyundai has an even bigger engine in the works, to be paired with an even larger version of the Equus.

Hi. Just trying to get an opinion from the experts out there. I have a 2002 Hyunday XG350. Starting last week, at times, when I turn the engine on, the battery warning sign and the parking break sign will stay lit on the dashboard. It doesn't happen every time though. I'd say there's a 50% chance of it staying lit after the engine starts. I popped up the hood and looked at the battery and saw corrosion on the terminals. I unhooked the battery and cleaned it all up and then the problem seemed to have gone, but then it started again.

This battery is not even a year old so I don't think it's likely it's dying already. The alternator too has been replaced too about 20 months ago.

What could be causing this and how do I proceed to troubleshoot it? Thanks...

Thought this may interest some of you. It's going to be at my work on November 18th

According to Hyundai CEO John Krafcik, the company's upcoming replacement for the Tiburon will look significantly like the Veloster Concept that debuted at the 2007 L.A. Auto Show. In fact, Krafcik said that the sub-compact will look 70 to 80 percent like the funky concept, calling it "Accent sized," and a "four passenger Honda CRX."

Much like the CRX, the Veloster will be a car you can drive hard and still get good mileage in, thanks to a direct-injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder that Krafcik promises will get over 40 mpg.

The new model will be front-wheel drive and Krafcik says it will have one particular trait that is not offered in its segment. He wouldn't say exactly what that was, but did mention that it could be one of a few design items, including some sort of unconventional roof, doors or rear hatch.

The Tiburon's sporty-CRX-like successor is due out as a 2012 model at dealers by late 2011.

I'm a newbie here. Hello to all who do or have owned Hyundai Galloper I, 1991-1997. This is a rare car and I would like to ask other owners to post about their experience about sourcing the parts and (non)compatibility issues with old Pajero and Galloper II parts...

My vehicle was purchased in Bosnia where the local Hyundai dealer imported about 50 1997 vehicles, the last model year for the Galloper I. God knows what market these vehicles were originally intended to, since they were nicely equipped for that time (A/C, central locking, etc) but had no rear wiper for some reason... Maybe were meant for the Sahara desert but even there one needs a rear wiper to wipe the dust off...

It looks the same as pre-1991 Mitsubishi Pajero except it has rectangular head lights instead round ones. It is naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 2.5L diesel, short wheel base. The local dealership provides some support for it, but it is rather minimal. They do carry some parts, some Galloper II (1998 or younger) parts fit too, but it is more of a guess work what fits and what not - they don't have a computer data base for Galloper I, so they look into a hard copy manual instead, then find the part number, and then search Galloper II data base with that particular part number to see if the part is the same for Galloper II or not.

Since I don't live in Bosnia full time, I use my vehicle only occasionally and after 11 years on the road it made only 90 000 km. So far I had no major problems, struts were gone about 40 000 km and I installed new Monroe’s which still hold well.

Then the time came to change timing belts. Looking around I was let to believe that pre 1991 (first generation) Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5L D belts would fit and I purchased them. But they did not... So after second try it appeared that the timing belts from the second generation of Pajero (1991 or younger) and/or Galloper II would fit. So the first set of belts I purchased was wasted $150...

Then the steering pump went. I searched the web, bumped on Four Green parts in Korea (which now has been renamed to www.yahalausa.com and ordered what I believed was the steering pump for my Galloper. But since this web site lets you search for parts by the part No or by vehicle model, whereas you can select the model (such as Galloper) but not the manufacturing year, I missed it again...

The pump arrived from Korea by DHL, looked identical to the old one, but it would not work - does not pump the oil. The mechanic opened it but could not figure what was wrong, there is only two gears inside... So I ended up rebuilding the old pump instead (which needed only bearings) and never figured out why the new pump would not work. However, I do remember that while looking for the pump on the web, I found someone in Korea who sells rebuilt Galloper pumps who seemed to think that Galloper II pump would not work on my vehicle, but his English was so poor that I could not understand anything, so I ignored his comment... And that ignorance did cost me $180 + $60 shipping... I'm an engineer by profession and have relatively good tecnical (mechanical) knowledge in general, but could not figure out the difference, unless for some reason the belt or the steering system on Galloper II is such that the pump spins in reversed direction, vs. Galloper I... Otherwise the pump looks exactly the same as the old one inside too... I e-mailed to Four Green indicating that the pump may be defective, but they wanted me to send it back for their assessment and I gave up...

The next non-compatibility issue was the fuel filter. Initially I used to buy it from the dealer but eventually I got tired of their prices. So I again figured that old Pajero aftermarket filters would fit, which are half price. And it does fit, it can be bolted onto the holder, however, there is a plastic water drain plug at the bottom (with water presence electrical sensor), and apparently Hyundai decided to change the thread on the plug, so that it cannot be screwed into Pajero filters... But I solved this one rather simply by buying also Pajero bottom filter plug.

As a final note, looks like that being a replica of the first genration (1982-1991) Pajero for the most part, Galloper I also has similarities with several other Mitsubishi vehicles/names such as Montero (USA, India), Dodge Raider (another replica of old Pajero but diesel version did not exist), Shogun (UK), etc.

Hyundai will bring its top-level Equus luxury sedan to North America next summer. While buyers of German luxury sedans like the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class aren't likely to buy Korean (not yet anyway), Hyundai thinks it will attract enough Lexus LS buyers to make the Equus a viable business plan.

According to a company insider the Equus, which is based on the Genesis platform, will come equipped exclusively with the company’s 375-hp 4.6-liter V8 engine. Pricing is expected to be just below the $60,000 mark - $5,000 less than the Lexus.

In comparison, a fully-loaded Genesis sedan costs about $43,000.

Currently the Equus is one sale in Korean with pricing ranging anywhere from $50,000 to $81,000.

Hyundai had the Equus on display at the New York Auto Show this year to see what sort of interest there was in the car. The reactions must have been positive because not long afterward the Korean automaker announced that it would bring 100 models to the U.S. for dealers to show off. Some of those models are equipped with such luxurious amenities as tilting rear seats with massages and LCD screens mounted in the headrests.

Hyundai has already surprised the luxury segment with the mid-level Genesis luxury sedan, but the question remains whether it can take on the top-tier cars or if the Equus will be the next VW Phaeton.

Can anyone help me with a problem I have with the PART NUMBER of the Alternator fitted to the 2.5TD Galloper please. I have the HYUNDAI part number and can get an Alternator from Korea (FourGreenAuto), but I am trying to get an equivalent one in the UK as I know the Hyundai H100 (van) once sold in the UK has the 2.5 TD D4BF engine fitted and therefore might have the same alternator? I need to know what the part number on the actual alternator is and the manufacturer.........

Best regards,

Hi all --

I hope you'll forgive me for signing up and posting a link, but I thought this might be of interest to Hyundai fans. I got a chance to ride in and shoot some photos of a Korean-spec Equus, and I've posted the photos to my site on About.com. (They aren't great, but my impromptu Equus photo shoot came as something of a surprise.)

OK....Here's my problem. Yesterday, I picked up my 2000 Galloper Exceed II TD from the shop after having to replace the head. A new head was installed along with new valves, injectors gaskets etc......Mechanic stated that he drove the car through the mountains for a few hours to make sure it was running OK before I picked it up.....I buy it as the odometer read about 150Km more than it was when I left it there. I was able to drive the car for about 90 km and the only thing I noticed was that it still seemed a bit underpowered. I got it home and went to start it in the morning (mind you I am in Costa Rica so the engine never truly gets cold) and it turned over for about 10-12 seconds before starting kinda roughly with a big puff of gray smoke. I drove for about 15 km stopping and starting twice with no problems. Then the car sat for a few hours and I tried to start it again. It behaved the same was as the first start in the morning. I drove for 20 meters and the engine stalled. I tried to start it a few more times but it never started. I thought I had a good mechanic (very difficult to find in this country hence the willingness to drive 90km to get to him) who pays attention to detail but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone have any ideas where the problem could be? btw. if it matters..the tank is full and I never let it get below 1/4 before topping off. Help Me Please!!

Hyundai continues to flirt with the luxury market as the automaker has now announced that it will ship 100 of its flagship Equus luxury sedans to U.S. dealerships to gauge interest.

The Equus is based of the same platform as the Genesis Sedan, which launched in 2008, but is even larger, taking aim at the world's top-level luxury saloons, including the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class and Lexus LS.

It is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 engine (also offered in the Genesis Sedan) that makes 375hp.

Already on sale in South Korea, Hyundai first showed the car in North America at the New York Auto Show - a publicity also aimed at gauging interest in the U.S. market.

Whether or not the Equus will ever go on sale in the U.S. will have to be seen. The Genesis Sedan was considered by many to be a risky move and it’s likely the success of the Korean luxury car is due, in part, to the poor economy, as those interested in a luxury car were eager for a bargain.

Bringing the Equus sedan to the U.S. would prove even more challenging as courting flagship luxury buyers away from German models won’t be easy. (Then again, Toyota did it with Lexus).

We do, however, question Hyundai's approach as those interested in a $75,000 luxury sedan aren't likely to frequent Hyundai dealerships. Perhaps parking it outside the Ritz-Carlton would be wiser.

Can any anbody help me ? I need to change a broken cam belt, can you tell me what the timing marks are for the balance shaft and cam shaft belts. Also tappets clearance's and if they are adjustable ? THanks

The Hyundai Santro manual says' Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting"

What does this really mean?

I can understand a statement " do not over-revv while upshifting" (whether that means anything or not) but how can I over-revv BY upshifting? Typically the RPM should go low when you upshift. Isn't it?

A few associated questions
If I am going uphill and am at a higher gear, does continuing with the higher gear by stepping on the accelerator damage my vehicle in any manner?
If I have to take off uphill from start. The practice I have is to use hand brake, put the vehicle in gear, keep the clutch pressed while accelerating a bit and then releasing the hand brake and release the clutch. Is this correct procedure?

I recently went to a repair shop and was told that the clutch is worn out. I am wondering what made it wear out with 18K at the odometer.

Thanks

First off, we apologize for the terrible photos. We can blame Blackberry for the poor quality, but we should be so lucky the pics turned out at all.

We just happened upon this this undercover vehicle while cruising north on Highway 1 (PCH) after leaving Huntington Beach, CA. The Hyundai team did a great job disguising the crossover, which we have deduced is the next generation Hyundai Tucson.

At first it's not clear what the vehicle is and the Michigan plates certainly threw us for a loop. After all, it does have some resemblance to the Dodge Journey.

The real give-away, however, was the Hyundai Sonata (also sporting Michigan plates) we caught following it.

It certainly doesn't look as striking as the ix-35 ix-onic concept that was first unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March but there are some undeniable resemblances. For instance, the roof line is similar, as is the general shape and layout of the windows. The rear haunches also have a slight bulge in them - although that detail is quite well hidden on the test-mule we spotted. Importantly the front end is extremely well disguised, as it would be a clear give-away with Hyundai's new hexagon front grille.

The Blackberry camera flash did, however, pick up that the crossover is sporting Kumho tires and it's well-known that the Korean automaker outfits its vehicles with rubber from the Korean tire manufacturer.

Hi, Spanish spec Galloper Exceed 1999.

Car often fails to start, sometimes cranks over slowly. Battery OK, all leads earth ect cleaned and OK, new glow plugs, power and timer ok for glow plugs, problem can occur hot or cold with no pattern.

Now here is the strange thing: If the multiplug (4 or 5 wires) that is on the side of the fuel injection pump is disconnected the engine cranks fast and sounds ok, reconnect the multiplug and the engine cranking speed slows straight away.

Disconnect the multiplug and up goes the cranking speed. So when the multiplug is connected it must power the fuel solenoid but what else can all those wires be for? Also, as the starter slows by such an amount it is as if power lead has gone to earth and is shorting out the starter, surely if this is the case I could expect smoking cables ect.

I am normaly car 'savvy' but this is a new one on me?

any ideas

regards

Dave

History , recently i was crossing river, galloper was stuck and water entered cab, was pulled out,. vehicle started fine and ran for 50 kms after. today however i noticed lack of power which gradually worsened and now does not excedd 2000rpm in all gears.

any thoughts, much appreciated. also i live in Costa Rica

NO ONE CAN PREVENT IT FROM BECOMING POPULAR because of its appeal. The new styled and supersized Hyundai Grand Starex is ready to do well in this segment. Boosted by an aerodynamically efficient zen-like styling, the Starex projects makes more stylish and designed van but remains its all necessary van attributes. One most important thing of which is the spacious cabin that it offers, which has a generous reclinable and adjustable seating for either 10 or 12 persons that will totally enjoy by everyone. Let us look at the Veracruz, why do you think most people like it? Well, honestly speaking, it is the well-styled interior and refinement, which now adapted by the new Grand Starex. It has all these elements that will surely give satisfaction for every individual. Because it is a Hyundai, definitely everybody will have the security knowing that it has a wide sort of Hyundai auto parts, which enables it to give its best performance. It is also equipped with Hyundai’s latest engine technology, the Common Rail Direct Injection Diesel Engine of the CRDi, which helps Starex makes more reliable and effective companion on the road adding 174 horsepower and 289 ft-lbs or torque on tap makes it more powerful and comfortable at the same time. In addition to this, the robust underspinnings have been made for carrying full load of passengers, wherever their destination may be. Hyundai truly is a big help for everyone.

just recently our 97 excel started making a rather loud ticking sound from the engine. i did an oil change thinking it was that, but it seems to be coming from where the injectors are not the engine cover. has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know a solution. thanx

My car has pins 4,5,7,8,15,16. in the OBD connector
I want to confirm the protocol it uses.
I will give any other information if required.

hey guys my girlfriend has just bought a 96 excel and it has had all the body work and brakes done just wondering if there was a performance engine that would slot straight in any help appreciated

cheers
