I just installed some LED tailights and signals on the XG. The lights look nice, the light looks rich, although i need load resistors to get rid of the hyper flashing and the broken light indicator. What would be the best areas to install the load resistors in the trunk and in the engine compartment to make these lights work properly?

Hi all,

Hi, I'm new here. Trying to figure out how to replace the fog light on my XG350. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...Joe

can anyone in the states tell me if the front amber and rear red lights that are fitted into the front and rear bumpers (fenders) on us spec. XG models are illuminated or just reflectors (l believe they are called side marker lights on your side of the pond)

We had a pretty intenese rainstorms over here in NY and the potholes are ripe on the highways. I finally hit a nice one that made the sidewall bulge on my tire, the damage dosen't look too bad, just a small bulge. I was wondering are small bulges or any type of bulge on the sidewall mean the tire must be replaced for fear of blowingout on the road?

Has anyone got any thoughts on the interior lighting on the XG models? the lighting is so poor that as all you owners know it is almost impossible to read a map or anything else for that matter without finding a flashlight or sticking a miners lamp on your head. l have not been able to find any extra light fittings that will fit into the car and still look neat and tidy, has anyone found any...

I bought a new 2004 XG350 and a 2001 XG300 over the weekend. The XG300 was as is and I just realized now that the glove compartment latch is broken. I am going to talk to the dealer, but since I bought it as is I don't think they'll fix it.

What they did was shove a folded piece of paper into the latch assembly to hold the door in place. Dirty guys. The door opened once and...

Hi all,

As a separate topic on my newly acquired Grandeur 3.0, it rides extremely harshly. (admittedly, I have just stepped out of a Citroen, but it's still too harsh for a Grandeur).

It's done 164,000 km. Has 2 brand new 215/60 tyres on the front and 2 half worn Pirelli P6000 on the rear. Same size. 32psi pressure.

The ride, compared to the other Grandeur...

I have a 2001 XG300 that makes a "squeaking Noise" coming from the passenger side rear wheel area. The sound goes away once you get to about 35-40mph...any thoughts?

Almost four years ago, I test drove virtually every car in the Canadian price range of $30,000 to $40,000. Although I was very skeptical about it, I had seen pictures of the then-new Hyundai XG300, and decided to try it out. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how the car's mechanicals felt, and my personal comfort while driving it -- but dismissed the car since I couldn't...

Hai All,

I have purchased a second hand XG30 3 months backFirst month it was running very smoothly.

Still I checked with Hyundai service centre they asked me to change the Airflow censor and also changed...

I have a '04 XG350L with 14,000 miles. I just experienced my first warrantee work. With the "check engine" light on and the engine running very rough I dropped the car at the dealer. The verdict: burned out ignition coil which also baked 3 plugs and their wires. Also the check engine light which indicated an emission problem was the canister that collects unburned gas and a hose...

Has anyone experienced the finish on the chrome (outside) door handles pitting or having what appears to be a staining or loss of chrome? it has happened to all four of mine...XG350L lees 6 months old!
Thanks, Bill

Does anyone know the OEM manufacturer of the CD changer for the XG350? I want to buy an extra cartridge or two without going to the dealer.

Does anyone use a front end mask to protect the car from kicked up rocks and debris? Does a mask cause more damage to the cars finish than good?

Hi default/' '' />

For about the last year when I start up my Grandeur there is a clicking noise (I'm guessing either a fan or a belt or something). After warming up though the noise disappears - any ideas what this may be at all?

Thanks!

It has been interesting to read in recent forums what other members have written about camshaft belt replacement intervals. In the U.K. the owners manual and the workshop manual states that the belt should be changed at 40,000 miles, l noted that a guy in the U.S. stated that the belt change interval there was 60,000 miles and that in California it was only 'recommended'. the belt change...

Hi all.....

I will miss you...... you know why?!!

because I have sold my XG30 2000.

You know why I did so?!!

because the dealer wants from me about 5000 dollar(18000SR) for just repairing the transmission( which I am sure it was not transmession...it was elecrical).


The car was EXCELLENT in most of the things...

Hello all,

We have a 01 XG 300 and I am wanting to do some tune up work on it. I was planning on doing spark plugs and a fuel filter.

Lets start with the plugs. Does the intake have to be removed and/or like some cars the engine rotated towards the front to have access to the rear plugs? Just doing a quick once over and I can hardly see the rear plugs.

And now...

Can any body relate to how the XG350 handles in snow?

After helpfull facts about the Greandeur, fuel consumption reliability etc, Life of car 300,000 ks? is the suspension too soft what do other Greaneur drivers think of their car? Thanks

Does anybody know if the 16x6.5 Tucson wheels will fit a XG350L? I want to use them for pre-mounted snow tires. The bolt pattern is the same and the offset seems to be right. I don't have the wheels yet and was wondering if they will clear all of the suspension components.

Has anyone experienced the car accelerating on it's own when you are stepping on the brakes?

I feel the ride is just a little too soft I've been trying to find some aftermarkets parts to stiffen up the ride. if you know any reply to me. thankyou

Can anyone give me some information about 2004 XG350.

Understanding that this is a "world forum"...not just the USA, can anybody tell me if the Grandeur and the XG 350 just differ by name or are there other significant differences. IE: engine choices,emmisions,ect... This would come in handy when exchanging technical info. Thanks.

I only use shell gasoline, as it is rated as a "top tier" gasoline. Only a hanful of gasolines have made this standard(endorsed by GM,Toyota,BMW, and Honda).
for more info on this subject just do a yahoo search and put in top tier gasoline.
These top tier gasolines have more than the required detergents as put forth by law from the US gov. All being said...Are fuel injector...

Hey guys, just got a 2004 XG. I am curious as to what motor oils u prefer to add to your cars, and would an oil additive if any?

After owning 13 consecutive Honda Accords I bought my first Hyundai in April with some misgivings. Bought an 04 XG350L. To date I have 12,000 miles on it and it has yet to see the inside of the dealers shop (I do my own oil changes etc). I certainly never had a Honda I could say that about.

I live in South Dakota so I'm very interested to see how this car performs on slick...

Hullo all,
I have just purchased a Grandeur XG made in 2000 but I did not get a manual or service logbook.
It was suggested that there might be one available on the net in .pdf format to download but I can't find any.
Can anyone tell me where I can obtain these books?
You can reply to me direct at dharrison@keypoint.com.au

Question Is there a illustrated instruction manual for removing and installing the Grandeur radio system?

Hello friends and fellow Hyundai car owners,

I found the following site that has lots of technical information about all Hyundai models. The information is similar to the big maintenance books that Hyundai dealers have in their workshop garages. I hope you all find it useful.

Hello,
I have a 2002 XG 350 which I absolutely love except for a nagging seat problem. It seems I am having to adjust the seatback everytime I get in the car. It's always in a recline position after I leave the car parked. Weird thing is I have never noticed it actually move while I'm watching it.

Anyone seen this problem or heard about it?

Thanks much
