I am new in this forum. I just bought new xg30 1999 with 62000 KM. I am having following problems,

When I turn AC on in Neutral or Parking, RPM are fine but as I shift Drive or Reverse then engine starts shaking and RPM dance between 400 to 900 and it seems like engine will turn off. But if I again shift to Neutral or Parking it will come again to normal.

Miss fire happens most of the time when I drive from stop and even at higher speed. It seems like I can not even get high RPM properly putting paddle downwards and also engine has lake of power. But some times it is just normal and drive smoothly. (AC problem exists)

Misfire also happens above 3000 rpm. Its kind of like cutting fuel supply to engine.

Check Engine Light is not on.

I will appreciate help.

Thanks

The 60K timing replacement was done (by certified mechanics) on my XG , approx a week ago .
I statrted the car up later and severe noise and vibration resulted.
I had it towed to Hyundai and they indicated the belt had been left loose, and therefor this is not a warranty item
Towed back to garage that had done the work and they verified that the belt was loose and timing on one head had slipped.
They say it is Hyundai fault as the (oil driven tensioner had failed ?)
Where does this leave me?
I removed the car from their facility,as they clearly lack the equiptment to correct this.

What is the right repair for all of this ??


Thanks

I had a question regarding power steering on my car >>>

I currently have a leak in the pump with only 40k miles on the car. Are there any recalls or problems that have been discussed around here regarding the power steering? I didnt see and TSB's on the pumps and kinda shocked that it is leaking only after 40k miles >>> any thoughts ???

also another question i have .........

I have three warning lights on my Dash that just came on at the same time

1- brake light
2- battery light
3- ABS light

Kinda odd that all three of these lights came on at the same time???

I disconnected the battery and that did not help >>> all lights are still on

I was told that it might be the alternator.... what do u guys feel about that .....?

any other thoughts ???

Any help is appreciated

Hi,

My 2001 XG 300 began shaking and jerking like it was going to stop running. I took it to a local repair shop who told me it brought up these codes P115901191 and 1193 and that I would have to take the car to a dealer to find out what the codes mean.

It also needs a power steering pump.

I cannot afford an expensive repair. I have not been able to drive the car since March, and since it is my family's only vehicle, it has been quite inconvenient!

Does anyone know what these codes mean, and is it something I might be able to fix myself or without the high cost of a dealer?

I am a woman, I have no tools for working on my car. My Dad was a mechanic and I used to be able to tune up my car waaaay back in the 70's. The engine on my XG looks so strange!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi all i've noticed recently that the carpet behind drivers seat, UK, and in the boot is soaking wet, it also seems wet underneath the rear seat. Could water be coming through the wheel arch somehow. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this problem. Thanks

Hi I am looking for an extra key fob for my XG30 it has three buttons one to lock and set the alarm one to unlock and deactivate the alarm and one to open the trunk.

My Dealer want's £150.00 to get a replacement but will code one for me if I can get one from a brakers yard or ebay.
I just thought I would try this forum.

Hello Folks!

Does anyone have any tips for fixing the bearings in an XG30's AC Compressor?

The Part Number of the Compressor seems to be 97701-39881, and the earlier part 97701-39880 will also fit too.

I was hoping that the Compressor from a Sonata, Trajet or Santa Fe might fit, but the part numbers do not match.

However, I was wondering if the Part Number differences are simply down to different brackets being fitted, i.e. perhaps the pumps are the same, just fitted with brackets to mate to the car model in question.

The XG 2.5 litre seems to use a similar unit to the Santa Fe etc, but the 2.5 engine never made it to the United Kingdom, that I am aware of.

The other option is to have the Compressor re-built with new Bearings, but who might be able to do that I wonder? Would an AC Specialist be able to rebuild a Compressor?

Below is the full list of Part Numbers relating to XG30 Compressors:

AC Compressor:

97701-39881 = COMPRESSOR ASSY 01/05/1999 to 01/11/2005

NP = New Part
ITC-Y = Old and New Parts interchangeable

----------- FULL XG LIST ---------

97701-39880 = COMPRESSOR ASSY 01/12/1998 to 01/05/1999 **3.0 Litre**
97701-39881 = NP COMPRESSOR ASSY ITC-Y

97701-39180 = COMPRESSOR ASSY 01/12/1998 to 01/05/1999 **2.5 Litre**
97701-26300 = NP COMPRESSOR ASSY ITC-Y

97701-39881 = COMPRESSOR 01/05/1999 to 01/11/2000 **3.0 Litre**

97701-39881 = COMPRESSOR 01/05/1999 to 01/02/2001 **3.0 Litre**

hello all i got a bit of a problem and dont know where to check as you all remember i changed my fuel filter a couple weeks ago. Now my gas milage is still bad it does about 200 miles on fill horrible. Now my car is making a noise like when the injectors are clogged. Its mostly happens when i come to a stop from light to light and some times when im on the highway it will bogg for a sec then keep going any ideas thanks in advance !!!

Hi all, my 2000 Grandeur (XG300) has done 74,500 klms and is in great condition generally. About 8mths ago, I had the input shaft speed sensor replaced because the trans. went into "limp home" mode and generated the related code. Recently, perhaps once or twice a week, the trans. will seem to get confused when under very light acceleration (taking off normally from a stop or accelerating from very low speed etc).

What happens is this: Moving off, it will change normally up to 3rd and then within the space of about .5 of second, the gear indicator in the dash will cycle quickly and randomly through the lower gears. This is accompanied by a hesitation of power transmission and usually, it will end up selecting 3rd or 4th and carry on normally. Occasionally though, at the end of this short period of confusion, it will slam back down into 1st gear with quite a jolt (almost got rear ended a couple of days ago!).

I've taken the car back to the trans. specialist and there are no trans. codes being generated. The only code he found was one relating to the MAF sensor (an issue I was already aware of).

Any ideas what could be happening here? I'm wondering about the throttle position sensor sending bad data to the trans....(but no codes?)

Thanks for any help you can give!

I was looking up filters for the XG350 2005 at the Wix Filter site and it showed a spin on filter for the transmission. Where is the transmission filter located on a 2005 XG 350?

i have lights in the shift lever d/r/p/n but not in the sports mode +/- side is there bulbs that side' allso the power window switches i only have one that lights up and thats the one that has auto down on it are ther others sopposed to light up can you help

My 2001 XG just started running roughly the other day. I got cylinder misfire & EGR malfunction fault codes. I have replaced all 6 spark plugs and then yesterday replaced the EGR valve. The car is still running rough. I sprayed MAF cleaner in the MAF and the throttle body. Now I'm getting a new code: P0403 which is EGR circuit flow malfunction.

From what I've found, there isn't an EGR solenoid on the XG so I"m at a loss of where to go from here.

Someone suggested replacing the O2 sensor - but I don't think that's necessary since I believe there is a separate fault code for that fault. The MAF was replaced a few years ago - under warranty and appears to be clean and free of buildup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in trying to track down this problem.

Thanks,
m

do you know how many xg30 were sold in the uk as i have never sean one on the road apart from mine must be few and far betwean

Hi all, is my Grandeur the only 2.5 in the world. Have been reading this forum for the last two and a half years which is the length of time I have owned the car and have never heard of this sized engine even mentioned. Anyhow, it runs and performs like a dream. I get 100k out of 10 litres,and excepting for my service costs the only money I have spent on it was for four new tyres. It will suit me for a while yet.

are there brake shoes at the back had the back wheel of can c the disc and pads but cant c the shoes for the hand break

Applies to 2001 XG 300.

Using BOSCH 15730 ($60 at Pepboys) universal O2 sensor for Precat. no comments about price, I don't care what YOU got it for.

disconnect the 02 plug, the socket slides off the connector towards the firewall. Then slide the connector also towards the firewall off the bracket.

I had a incredibly thick walled O2 Sensor Socket that would not fit in the hole of the heat shield. Please see if your O2 sensor socket fits before continuing below. if it fits, remove the sensor.

otherwise remove the heatsink below:

Use a 10mm socket to remove the two bolts that hold the front left fan, disconnect socket and remove fan assembly.

use a 12mm socket to remove the bolt for the oil dipstick, and the three bolts for the heat shield.

flex the dipstick a little forward and work the heatshield out of the way.


NOW: follow the directions in the box for the length. slide the heatshielding tube on before you assemble the wires. I soldered mine, rather than use the adapter. In the 2001 XG 3000 case, the wire colors matched.

reinstall, and done.

it's been about 3 months of daily driving and no issues. I do not have any new software patches on my computer, so I don't need the bullshittanium version of the newest O2 sensor that others talk about. use what works and saves you money.

I'm putting here the current state of my '01 but not to ask for help. Not that I don't trust anyone's knowledge but mostly as an explanation to why these cars are not easy. I spend so much timing helping others on here while at the same time i've been dealing with my own troubles. I bought the car for $450 with 70k miles from original owner ( still under warranty) some big dents and heat warpage to interior.
Started off with a worn motor from lack of maintenance (but it did run for one night after doing these 4 repairs)
rusted out fuel pump from sitting for 2-3 years
alternator was done as it was the old style with big pulley
Needed a battery
bad MAF

In the past 1 1/2 weeks
-I rebuilt the block using Mitsubishi 3000 gt piston rings (yes it worked)
-Rebuilt the heads myself with new valve seals, cams seals
-Re-used some head gaskets which had 10 min of run time on them and sprayed with copper spray
After car got running.........
-it bogs when revving high and under loads, wont hold an idle after it gets really hot from driving around the block
-It's running lean so I sucked the gas tank dry as it was coming out yellow from the rust, then I scraped most of it out from the bottom of the tank and again found the fuel pump was rusting out and strainer was filthy. Put fresh 91 octane
-All this rust killed one injector, and the others had oil on the spray side from when the engine was burning oil So I swapped them all out.
-Fuel pressure was good the whole time but I swapped out the fuel pump for the one in the Accent(yes it works)
-Found and repaired 2 cut wires in the main engine harness which turned out to be ground sources for something
all in all spent 2 full days doing diagnostic checks like compression, timing, electrical pin out tests, sensor performance test
fuel pressure
-swapped in a spare PCM,APS sensor,Throttle body and re-initialized
-went as far as I could in the diagnostic process having only a generic scan tool to check sensor readings and after all this I can say it does run better now it is drivable but still bogs and eventually dies out at idle.
-I got to the point were I knew I had met my match and called my long time Hyundai friend but it's hopeless when the only codes being thrown are those for limp home valve being on.

The only thing left for me to try now is another MAF, Proper fuel pump, find someone with an XG300 so I can compar MAF voltage readings. I know the Hyundai scanner reads in .mv but my scanner reads in lb/hr so I hooked up my VOM and got a reading and it was'nt what the Hyundai scanner reads. It's reading low and doesn't change much with higher rpms which could explain why it's leaning out at higher rpm's. The old MAF does the same thing but at even a lower spec. I'm starting to believe I may have a restriction in my downstream cat as I allready check the manifold cats when engine was out. Would hate for it to be a exhaust restriction after all this but would also be glad it's fixed. So like I said i'm not asking for help just wanted to let you guys see that XG's can sometimes be very involved and why the independent mechanic does not like to work on these. If and when I figure this car out I will post my findings. As for now i'm leaving town and i'll get back to it next week.

Hi , all of xg owners !
Does anybody know where the speed sensor output and speed sensor input are located in the "engine room" of the xg 30 ?

I can't find a repair manual for the XG, is there an alternative manual I can use? I know with other cars I've been able to use other models interchangeably (for the most part) has anyone found one to use on the XG?

I have an '01 XG300.

Thanks.

i have had this happen ever since i have had the car about 5 months now the engine check light flashses and the car only seams to be fireing on 5 cylinders (this only happens for about 5 seconds)then then the light goes out and the car runs ok it doesent do it all the time say every couple of hundred miles or so i can be driveing along the light starts flashing slight loss of power then runing ok i had had trouble with the speed sencers input and out put so i put the problem down to that but both have bean replaced and all fault codes clared and car runs lovely apart from what ive sead it only does it now and again and only for a couple of seconds any idears car has 70.000 on the clock and had its last service at 62.000 just before i got the car

I just had the timing belt and plugs replaced per requirements. (o5 XG350L)

Wen I received the vehicle back I discovered that the air conditioning is not working

Is it possible that something may have got "stepped on" ?? If so what??

Thanks for any response on this as I am on fixed income.

symptoms are, loss of acceleration even when stepping on the gas pedal, car slammed into 3rd gear, power steering was out lights dimmed as if running on only battery power, amp light and cel light went on. I pulled the car over and waited 5 minutes to restart, started back up with no problem except for CEL i hoped it would last a week until i could bring it in it almost did, the morning of the appointment with hyundai it died, the car turned over but would not start. hyundai will have the car for 3 days, sounds like a major operation. had the car towed into hyundai repaired under warranty camshaft postion sensor and new battery.

Hello al its been awhile again well my gas milage is down and im taking a trip next so need advice. Well for starters new ngk r plat. plugs injector treatment so my car has bogged out a few times so my car is 9 years old and has 74,000 miles so i think it maybe the fuel filter now i got the part my other ? is where is the fuel filter located. Thanks in advance all

I've had an intermittent problem with my transmission lights on the dashboard for some months now. The top bank of green transmission LED lights, park, neutral, reverse, and drive all work ok except for drive. When you actually put the car into D then the bottom 1-5 lights work ok but the green D light above does not seem to work. Sometimes its not worked for a few days then just suddenly started working - now however its not worked at all for about a month. Does anyone know if this is a problem in the dashboard or the gearbox? Thanks

Car recently started to feel very bad. Lately, the car will not WOT at all, i can hear the engine trying to rev and all but the transmission will not go. The RPMs are going upwards towards the 3.5-4.5k and not shifting at all. Car drives perfect when driving hard. It can accelerate normally, but if I want to take off, nothing happens.

Other symptoms:
1) When I come to a stop, car idles below 600rpms and it feels as if it wants to stall, no shudders or anything, as soon as I stop it dips below 600-500rpms but doesn't stall or shudders.

2) I get a violent vibration going into and coming out of 4th gear, I don't know whats going on here, but this has been happening since I got the car a few months ago.

3) Tiptronic system does the same, very hard to WOT or accelerate on a dime.

Any ideas what this can be? I am going to get the check engine light checked out tomorrow, but I was hoping with these systems you guys can let me know What MIGHT be wrong with the car.

Btw, its a 3.0L Sigma Engine, 2001 Hyundai XG300. Thank you!

I have left and right lamps not working on this module. I have removed panel surround and found five lamps but cannot identify what they are (KUMDONG V-2). One was working intermittently, but not now.
Where can I get these and replace. I'm hoping this is straight forward.

hi can anyone tell me where the output signal comes from for the tacho(rev counter) mine works sometimes as im driveing along it drops down to zero then goes back up i think i might have a loos wire or somthing

Recently I have been hearing a grinding type noise from my brakes in the back. Today I jacked up the car and as I spun the wheel I could hear the noise. Its not a heavy grinding but definitely a grinding that gets faster the faster you spin the tire. Also when im driving right when I press the break I get a short squeal sound from that tire area. Anybody have any ideas what this could be?

hi i had the problem with the car going in third as i was driving but with the help i found on this forum sorted it out put in a new input and output speed sensor car runs ok now input and output sensor cost 146 pounds each

the front tires on the xg are wearing out fast, Mechanic said could be alignment problems, I am on top of the proper psi of the front tires. the wear pattern show the inside part facing the engine. I read on previous posts that tires wear quickly on our cars since its front heavy. Is it alignment issues or just rotate the tires more often. the tires are rotated every other oilchange , about 6000 miles and the tires have about 20,000 miles on them.any opinions?

I'm a reasonably competent mechanic and have a fairly good tool set... my 2001 XG300 is over due for a timing belt at 85,000 miles. I've just about decided to do the job myself. I reviewed the online manual for the proceedure and I find it horribly lacking in "how to". Can anyone please provide a good step by step proceedure from beginning (you don't have to say "open the hood") to end (you don't have to say "Close the hood") of how to do it? It would be much easier than "ok... um... I guess I should pull the alternator next..." Also, anyone's suggestions and tips such as the creative use of nail polish to mark positions, etc would be GREAT!!!

Thanks!

Michael

I have an 01 XG350 and recently I have been experiencing some creaking when coming to a stop. Just under 5mph while rolling is the only time it happens. I know its not the brakes, and have had it into a shop for them to tell me they can't locate the exact problem and it sounds like suspension. It also seems to happen only once the cars warmed up, as if I drive right after starting it doesn't do it right away. Any ideas anybody?

I have read that this year and model has been recalled due to frame and control arm rust, could this have anything to do with it?

Thanks in advance!

I just replaced the timing belt on my 2001 XG300. I set everything to TDC and put on the new belt but when I rotate the engine by hand I only feel compression as I approach TDC again. I did a compression test on a couple of cylinders and got nothing. What could be wrong?

On longer trips at highway speed the CEL comes on, after stopping and turning the car off and on again it clears and then comes on again a few Km's later. It never comes on around town at 60kmph for weeks until longer trips. The anoying problem is that after a while on the highway I get a very loud noise starts on the drivers side, a sort of honking noise or a grining noise like a spining metal object grinding or rubbing - it is not connected to engine revs, even slowing to 60kmph through towns it is still there, it comes and goes but is very loud. It does not seem to be connected to the CEL coming on. It used to come then go but now once it starts it continues until the vehicle is parked overnight then the next morning it is gone. It seems that turning the climate control off does not stop it, turning cruise off etc. And as I said engine revs are not connected.

Another is that the engine seems to surge at 60kmph in 5th often. On a flat road with steady foot on the accelerator the engine surges, obvously to the feel and also on the rpm's.

Thank You for any assistance.

Otherwise I am loving my XG30 - I went from a BMW e32 735 and the XG is so much more cumfy.

Hi,

My question is: IF the brakeline fails the indicatror shows it on the dash, BUT does the indicator turns itself back off when the line is fixed or does it have to be done with computer manualy.

Also: How does the car found the fault, obviously some sensor but what sensor im interested?

Hello,
I am really hoping that someone can shed some light on whats going on with my car.
Sometimes when I'm driving especially on the Hwy my car will all of a sudden jerk and then slows down like as if I've changed a gear or something.Then my RPM will go all the way up between the 3 and 4.
It will stay this way until I come to a complete stop.
I took my car to Midas where they put it on the machine to get the problem codes,I was told that the codes were showing that I need a Transmission Speed Sensor and a EKG valve.
I am hoping that this is all that is going on with my car and that once I get these parts replaced that ends my problem and I'm back driving smooth again.
Although I was wondering if this is actually all thats going on,I would hate to come out of the pocket to take care of this only to find that I need a whole new Transmission.
Does anyone know or have heard anything about this type of issue before with the 2001 Hyundai XG 300???
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

So my car lighter isnt working. I was wondering if anybody knew what I can do to get it working. Im not a smoker but I do want to be able to charge my phone on the go.

I'm sure I already know the answer, I just want another opinion. The part of the pulley on the crankshaft the holds the belt for the alternator and ac spins and even comes off of the wheel it's on. It's not supposed to do that is it?

well, I've only had this car for a week now, and I'm kinda worryed about it, sure do like the drive and feel of it though. I replaced the input shaft speed sensor, and now the cel came back on, bank 1 O2 sensor now, could I get lucky and its the one right in the front of the manifold?

Also, the air leaks freon, is this a normal thing for this car? I put in a can of sure seal, they say it works, I dont know... guess I'll find out

I have a 2002 Hyundai XG350 that has is doing the following: Door locks lock all by themselves. Sometimes while in the car, and often while not even in the car, they just lock! The gas gauge read fuel empty all of the time, wont change; the common air bag light issue, it happened when the seat was moved all the way forward, the switch operating the gas door does not work, I have to open manually using the switch from inside the truck, and the car accelerates abruptly, which I have gotten used to. The worse problem I am having is the door locks locking all by themselves. All these issues have occurred within the past year and I do not have the money to take it to a dealer. I inherited this car from my Mom and she swore it was a ghost car. She took it in under warranty for the radio going on and off, (I thought she was nuts), now I know she wasn't. My Mom always serviced the car regularly. What is wrong with this car?

I bought this 2001 Hyundai XG300L in November of 2004 it was still under warranty at that time but in the summer of 2005 we started having some problems. First thing that happened we were on the hiway with the cruise control set to prevent accidental speeding. I promise that my foot never touched the break! But at some point we experienced an awful strong jerk, it felt like someone had stepped on the break really hard but just as quickly had let off. Immediately a "check engine" light came on. Took it to an AutoZone to get the codes read and we had received the some codes and since it was under warranty we took it to a Hyundai dealership. They said it indicated a fault with the input speed sensor and fuel metering. I don't remember what all they replaced but we got some parts replaced and it seemed to be fine. The check engine light came on again and some other parts were replaced and again this repeated a few more times, though at this time we never experienced that frightening jerk again. Well, not while under warranty at least. Now I know the mass air flow thing had been replaced and who knows what else. The next time that check engine light came on I took it in and they informed me that I was now out of warranty. I mentioned to them at that time that the radio didn't perform well in AM and that you can't turn the radio off without it coming back on by itself. Also it switches to CD1 mode from time to time. They told me it was not something covered under warranty any more. So now I'm driving it out of warranty and I took it to a mechanic and had a host of worked done some of it scheduled maintenance at the 60k mark. I had the timing belt and pully changed I had oxygen sensors replaced, spark plugs and plenum gasket and the radiator flushed and the transmission fluid drained and refilled. There may have been other things done but don't remember. This cost me about $2500! The next time I had trouble it was running very poorly like it was going to die. I didn't have enough time to run down to my favorite mechanic and took it instead into Firestone. On the way there I turned on the a/c because it was hot but quickly turned it off when I smelt something like electrical burn. When I got to Firestone they said I had a bad alternator and battery. They replaced it at the cost of $800! Ok, as I was planning on taking a driving vacation I went ahead and had the work done. The problem returned the next day and again I took it to Firestone and they said this new alternator was bad in exactly the same way as the last one. I found that hard to believe but again they replaced it at no cost. Then it happened again!.... I called them and they did a deeper investigation and found out that Hyundai was on its 3rd revision on this alternator and the after market alternators they were using were not up to this standard. After installing the OEM alternator all my problems were finally gone (except the radio thing)..... or so I thought. I went on my vacation and was gone for 2 weeks with no problem until 2 days after I returned home. I was on the hiway again and again experienced that frightening thing I felt at the beginning of these troubles, a sudden jerk that was very hard like someone stomping on the break. I was in cruise mode and even after the event remained in cruise but the check engine light came on. Since this problem I had experienced under warranty before I felt that they had not fixed it right at that time and called Hyundai to see if they would fix it this time as it wasn't fixed right the first time. The code they told me is the "output speed sensor" and the first time it was the "input speed sensor". They said this was a different problem and would not be covered. I called HMA Consumer Affairs and I am presently waiting their assistance in this matter and hope it will be resolved soon. Since calling HMA Consumer Affairs the "check engine" light has gone away on its own and now the "air bag" light is on. I'm beginning to be that all of this is some major electrical problem. I'm upside-down on the loan for this car and don't know where to turn. Anyone experiencing similar problems? HMA Consumer Affairs told me that this car has been in numerous times under warranty since it rolled off the assembly line.

So I have an 2001 XG 300L.

In my dash above the radio is a panel that allows you select many different modes of what to see.

I always have mine selected to the miles left to go based on the gas left ....

So the left side where it shows the miles no longer shows anything but all the rest of that line is lit.

I am assuming it is a bulb. my questions are:

What kind of bulb do I need?

Can I get it anywhere or do I have to order it from my dealer?

How do I change it?

It looks to me like I have to remove the whole big panel that covers the radio and all, then figure out how to remove this module so I can change the bulb.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

So I need a set of piston rings for my XG and it took me a while to find anyone other then the dealer who makes them. Ebay will sell with pistons as a set only, Korean parts vender wants like $90, RockAuto wants $70 and during my Rockauto search I found that the 3000GT uses the same rings. Same bore/ring widths, shoot even hae the same stroke? Anyways I can get rings for the Mitsu for $40 on ebay. Anyone know of these similarities, after all Hyundai and Mitsubishi have always worked together.
Also noted the 1st gen Sonata carries the 3.0 (6G72) from the SOHC mid 90's 3000GT.

O.K. I took my 300 and had a diagnostic ran on it and the error code p0715 came up, input shaft speed sensor. I went to auto zone friday and talked to them, and then called tonight and got another person, and went to order the part and he asked if it was the one in the black housing or the brown housing?? I dont have any idea what he's talking about. I know it's right under the airbox, at least the one that i thought was the suspect...

Does anyone know if there are really two? And maybe a part number for the thing?

Any help will be greatly apprecieated.

Just bought a new Xg350L in Dec. 04. It now has lessthan 3500miles on it. I have taken two short trips and enjoy the car greatly. After about 2000 miles I noticed a problem with transmission. At low speed ihear the transmission gears making a noise. I took it to the dealer for service and I was told that this is normal for the XG series. The service manager said that it isthe way that the gears are cut in the manufacturing process. This answer does not sound normal to me. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM?

We have owned a 2005 XG350L for the past two weeks and just completed a 1300 mile trip to bring the mileage to 18,000. We're happy customers. One issue, though: the transmission has an odd, louder than usual sound, especially in the lower gears, with elements of diesel noise, a mechanical gurgle, even a "grind" as one other forum writer described a problem. I test drove other late model XGs before buying ours and heard something similar in at least one car. Is this sound common to the XG 5-speed? It occurs in D and when manually shifting through the gears and doesn't seem to be there at speeds over 50.

Thanks for any advice or observations.

Hey Guys,
First of all thanks in advance.

i have a 2003 XG350L.

The first prom i wanna address is the A/C noise. when i turn the A/C off it goes away and when i turn it on it comes back. so that's how i figured out it was the a/c compressor and or motor or what ever these cars have. the ac works fine everything seems to be in order cept that **** noise. it's def coming from the engine. it sounds like a grinding/ scratching noise. like i said only hear it when the a/c motor kicks on.

the second prob is the front tires. i'm still in the process of changing out the bearings cause i believe that might be the prob but there is a pulsating grinding noise. it gets quicker the faster i go and slower when i slow down. i will update when i get the front bearings changed.

last but certainly not least. at about 60mph the car starts shaking. the steering wheel shakes back and forth the whole f**king car shakes. but here is the catch. if i have the cruise set and i accelerate using the cruise control and i accelerate past 60 and 70mph the shaking is not so violent. so what i did one day was popped the hood and sat in my drive way and revved it up. at roughly about 3500-4000 rpm the engine also shakes very violently.which in my mind can't be good. anyway if anyone has any ideas or needs more info to try and help just let me know. i greatly appreciate y'all helping out.

I have 1999 Grandeur in the past couple of days the oil light is coming on you cannot see it the day time early evening and night you can see it on some times dimm some times bright I recently had oil changed and oil filtre changed it have 100,000 klm on the speedo can anyone tell me what it may be causing this

My 01 XG300 is blowing the B/UP fuse and when it goes the speedometer dies and the gear selector light on the dash goes out but the transmission will work normally until I turn off the engine, when I restart the transmission is locked in 3rd gear limp home mode. Any ideas what could be causing this problem.
