Hi all,

Please excuse my noobery, as I'm fairly new to Hyundais, being mainly a Vauxhall nut!

My girlfriends mum has a 1998 Accent LSi (does anyone know what engine this one has? - thats been bugging me too!) which is getting harder and harder to start in cold or damp conditions.

It started about a month ago when the battery took to losing charge when...

Hi i own a 1995 acsent 1200cc, its spaninsh spec. i have recentley had running probs, the dashboard light comes on warning me of a fault, Check Engine is shown light up, then as soon as this light goes out the engine revs up then stalls, i cannot start the car for some time, then it runs fine again, however the fault is getting worse, as now the car runs badly all of the time, i have changed...

I have to apologize in advance because I realize this a stupid question, but I don't know how else to find the right info, but just ask.

On my 1996 Hyundai Excel (ie: Accent), my owner's manual says my original tyres/tires are 155 R 13. From what I can find out about tyre/tire sizes, this means they're 13" wheels? When I actually measure them (excl tyres/tires),...

I have a 97 Accent 1.3 & the washer motor has stopped working.

When we bought it a few months ago the washer motor wasnt working, it was jammed. Took about a minute to sort out.

After a while the motor would not work for the back window, only the windscreen (I presume thats a wiring problem). But last night it stopped working for the windscreen too. Has it jammed again or...

Just brought a hyundai excel 4 door 1997 and i think that i have a problem with it shuting down with out any reason, get a 4444 fault code when i check with L-wire afterwards (no Fault), this keyring immobiliser has 2 buttons, button 1 turns off and on the immobiliser, but button 2 seems to do nothing, when either bottom is pressed the small led on the keyring lights up, i am wondering if it is...

Hi gang,

I have a 1999 Hyundai accent that has a dent in the front quarter panel. I was planning on just getting rid of this car for a new one but due to circumstance I'm going to keep it for a year or two longer.

I'm going to have some fun with this car before I ditch it and first on my list is to fix the dent. I know nothing about body repair and very little about...

Hi all, great forum, glad I stumbled upon it! My 99 accent has issues with the drivers window. It's a manual crank jobber, and if I try to roll it up, the part of the window closest to the front "sticks." And it goes up all crooked. I then have to grab it and force it up by hand to get it to close. When I help it along it'll go up just fine. Tomorrow, I'm going to...

Lately, my '95 Accent is having some issues starting...

Luckily, it does start fine most of the time!

When it doesn't, it seems to be mid-day or afternoon on particularly nice days outside. Might this be a coincidence or related to the problem? Thought I'd mention it. Anyhow, it won't start, although it does turn and the battery doesn't seem to be...

I have a rather odd problem with my 1996 Excel. The problem has been with it ever since I bought it over a year ago. It will run absolutely fine when the tank is less than half full, but when I fill it, it just wants to die. I can't make it out of the petrol station without it stalling once, and until I use about 1/4 of the tank, it will stall, sputter, knock, ping, and has acceleration flat...

Hi all

I'm new to the forum. Just picked up a 99 accent gsi 1.5L so I'll probably be here a lot.. ;)

I was hoping someone could help me with a tranny prob.

When the car is idling there is a rattling sound in the transmission. If I push the clutch pedal all the way down it stops. The guy I bought it from swears its the release bearing and has been making...

Can anyone, please, send me any link (if it exists) where I can download it in English?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had ever installed a DRL (daytime running light) kit for their headlights on a 95 hyundai accent. I tried installing a kit that automatically turns on my headlights but I cannot get it to work without the use of a soleniod and some "jimmy rigging." Has anyone hardwired the headlights or has a kit they would recommend? I need to have DRL's to pass legal...

Having a few problems with my head lights. The other week I noticed that the dipped head light on my right (driver) hand side doesn't work.

Last weekend I changed the halogen bulb but there is no difference. I later discovered that the main head light on the same side doesn't work when the engine is off but works perfectly when engine is running. I'd never noticed this...

Hi!
Does anyone here know what the motor oil capacity of my car is?
It's a -95 accent with a 1,3l engine!

Replaced the oil and filter today, but the results when i checked the oil-level was a little bit confusing, so i just thought i would check with you guys before i drove anywhere!;)

Thanks!

anyone know what oil i should use on my 1998 accent 1.5??

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

I have recently inhereted a 1997 MVi 3 door coupé Accent, 1495cc and had my new CD player fitted by a local trusted mechanic, who said it was very tough but it was sorted eventually - Hyundai themselves were less than helpful.

To cut a long story short, the old stereo when in radio mode used to raise the electric antenna next to the...

Hi I have a 1997 hyundai accent with the stock sohc 1.5L engine and the problem is that it overheats and for some reason water is leaking in the oil does anyone have an idea on what the probs might be?

oki, first problem, I have a 97 Accent, its in good conditions it only have 30,000 miles for a 10 year old car its quite good.

anyways when i baught it, there was a small problem. when its cold it doesn't have the power to move. In technical words when the rev is between 1 and 2 it simply turns off. I have checked with other hyundai of the same model and i found that 7 out of 10...

Hello,

I have done a search through the forums and found similar topics but nothing for my exact model and no one ever replies with what fixed their problem. I also checked the recommended site (Hmaservice.com) but it just said to replace the coil, which I've read is only the problem about 20% of the time.

I have a 1998 Accent with just barely over 100k miles.

I've noticed this week that when I'm in 4th it will pop out after a bit. Please tell me this isn't as serious as needing a new gear box. default/sad.gif' 'sad.gif' />

So...a while ago I was experiencing transmission problems (slippage and such) and then one day it wouldn't shift at all. I got on the highway and at 60 mph it would be at 4000+ rpms. Also, when I would come to a stop and then try to go again, it would not accelerate and when it would, it would just rev. So, I got a new throttle pos sensor put in and a new ECM put in. As soon as I got the...

Ok so here is the story. My wifes 95 accent needed the drivers door hande assemebly replaced, which I manged to do fine.

What I am finding though is that the central locking (which is manual i.e. you use a key there is no remote) works fine without the door trim/panel on. As soon as i put the door trim panel back on the central locking locks all the doors other than the drivers...

Hi all...

Looking for some tips for a novice. I am mechanically inclined but don't have tons of experience with cars - computers & bicycles, mainly. I can see that the bolts have snapped on the rear sway bars of my 1999 Accent, and have ordered parts... is this as straightforward a fix as it looks? Anything that I should be aware of?

Also, I have to replace the front...

I have a 99 accent 1.5L with drum brakes. My rear brakes seized after a week of sitting still. I realized that the drivers side drum was black and it seemed that it has never been used. I bought the car about a year ago. I replaced the brakes and realized that the piston was seized on the same side, replaced it and went to bleed the brakes......nothing came out on that side. I checked the...

I really don't know much about working on cars but I am pretty handy with other stuff. Would an average person like me be able to replace the rear bearings in a 99 Accent? I don't want to get slammed at the stupid repair place.

Thanks for your time.

If I were to get an 'aoogah' horn for my accent (just to get a few laughs), where could I mount it, and how do I install it? I'm guessing it would be easier to wire it up to a custom switch than the original horn buttons??

this is prob going to sound weird but when i pick up speed my 1997 accent's speedo moves up and down not as in gaining speed but it moves up and down when it gains speed?

I have a 97 elantra whose second transmission has crapped the bed. I have found a 96 accent in good shape online for $600 not sure if its a AT or a MT. Hopefully a MT. My 97 has known AT problems and i was wondering if the 96 Accent had any Reputation for AT problems also.
