I was reading the sevice interval manual that came with my 08 Elantra and saw that the oil did not need to be changed for the first 7500 miles. Do Hyundai's require 7500 miles for the engine to break in or can I do what normaly do with a new car which is drive it easy for the first 1000 miles and then change the oil. After that drive the wheels off it and change the oil every 3000 miles.

Hey Guys,
Just bought my new Hyundai Elantra GLS yesterday, drives smooth, love it. My Elantra has a Aux input jack for a IPOD. Can someone give more information on where to buy this input jack?
Thanks!

Hi all! I just got my new Elantra SE and I have a couple of questions to ask:
1. Where are the rear HVAC vents located? I have seen literature that says it has them, but I can't seem to find out where they are.
2. Has anyone found where you can purchase a Digital Auto A/C control?
Thanks for all the help and I look forward to talking to all of you.

2007 Elantra GLS A/T (DOM 11/06)
OK, so new speedometer issue. I was driving to Atlanta this morning on I-85, and I had the cruise set at 80 mph. All of a sudden, the speedometer needle starts bouncing crazily and the cruise disengages. I'm able to continue driving (use the tach to guesstimate my speed) and the speedometer eventually returns to normal (after a period of about 20...

A few weeks ago I started to hear an odd noise coming from right in front of me, just under the hood when I'm driving. It sounded like a far-away helicopter. My husband couldn't hear it and thought I was just being picky about my new car. So I ignored it as best I could, But since then it has gotten louder and louder to the point it is actually quite annoying and I'm about to take it...

Does everyone have Speed sensing auto door locks with their Elantra? I noticed mine don't seem to lock automatically. On the website it says it is a dealer enabled. Why would the dealer need to enable them and they wouldn't be enabled from the factory?

Yes, I'm going insane with the car being slow. The days are warming up and so are the nights, so I really want to throw around the idea of a Turbo.
For me, you can't beat a the feeling you get when the boost from the turbo throws you back and the noise of the blow off valve. Thing is, I want this car to be silent. I'm plan on re-cycle the blow off to make it as silent as...

Does anyone know if they are making any type of aftermarket headlights for the 2008 Elantra? I have a small crack in mine and did not want to go back to OEM.
Thanks!!!

Got pricing on the SE and GLS (GLS with pep 02).
$1,461 more for the SE.
Think it's worth the extra for the SE?
Thanks

I have a 2008 Elantra with 2,000 miles and was wondering if anyone is experiencing this same issue. I notice a vibration in the floorboard on the driver's side when stopped and in gear (like being at a stoplight). You can actually feel the engine. It feels weird like the car has a rough idle. Is this normal? I just don't remember feeling this before. Thanks.

Does the Elantra 08 have body side moldings?
Thanks
Saw another post, doesn't come with moldings.

Hi guys, I have to say that this forum has very good information, I really like it.
Well, I had a Nissan 200SX 1.8 Turbo (S13), and with the car I had a "Field Service Manual"... it was like a shop manual, it tear a part every single screw from spark plugs to A/C Control unit...
My question is: does anyone knows where can I download this manual for the Elantra...

I have a 08 SE.
I could have sworn I had seen the middle section between the two map lights light up before, but now it does not. Both map lights work, the dome light works. Does that center piece light up? or was I seeing stuff?
Thanks

I just ordered an HID upgrade(h11). Has anyone done this on a 4g Elantra? I was wondering if I need to open the lens and remove the cup that covers the bulb.

I am a first time Hyundai owner (08 Elantra GLS). Is there a way to make the cig lighter or power outlet stay powered when the ignition is off? I like to let my cell phone charge overnight and every other car I have owned keeps the cig lighter powered with the ignition off.

Hi there,
ok another thing I notice. Reading the manual it says that the seatbelt warning should flash six seconds or six times when the key switch is in ON and the seatbelt is not engaged and if the switch is ON and the seatbelt is released it should flash and bip to warn you that the seatbelt is not engaged...
in my car it will ONLY flash when I switch to ON and it does not...

My 2008 Elantra GLS, like my 2000 Elantra GLS has a horn that sounds like a dying cow. I changed out the horn on my 2000 model with few problems. How do I access the horn (in front of the radiator) to change it out? Also, are there any particular problems with wiring in a new, generic dual tone horn?

Does anybody know if an outside temp gauge comes with the 2007 Elantra? Is it part of the trip computer or not an option at all?

One day I was fiddling with the temp controls on my 08 Elantra Sport and ever since then, every time I turn my car on, my AC automatically turns on.
It drives me nuts! Anyone know how to de-program this? default/' '' />

I was just at my dealer for an oil change and noticed the new '07 lists MPG as 28/34. I find that hard to believe. It's well documented how easy it is for automakers to game EPA tests (i.e., Honda Odyssey EX's famous false rating of 24/30 which actually is 17/20). Can anyone who owns an '07 confirm the actual MPG?

Hi, I just purchased a 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS last month and have a question regarding the engine/transmission. I previously had a Ford Taurus SE with a little over 200 hp so driving the Elantra takes some getting used to. My question is, when I am coming to a stoplight or rolling slowly in traffic, it feels like the car is going to stall when I finally stop. It never does and the RPM's...
