I'm having a difficult time finding car seat covers for my 2008 Elantra SE. Does anyone know a place to find them without paying an insane amount for "custom" seats?

Thanks in advance,

Merc

I'm looking at getting one of the "clear bras" by 3M for my car. However, I'm wondering two things:

1) Do they work?
2) Does it void the warranty?


...

Anyone have a bra on their 07 or 08?

Its something I am considering for protection of the front.
Just wondered if anyone had one on theirs, maybe could share a photo or their thoughts?


Thanks
Rob

A lot of times, when I'm coing up on a stop sign/red light, I will shift the automatic transmission in my 2007 Elantra GLS into neutral to take advantage of the 250-300rpm drop in idle as I cruise to a stop. I'll also shift into neutral if I'm on a residential road with no traffic; just get up to about 5 over the speed limit and shift into neutral to cruise along. The Elantra makes the...

I am looking at an Elantra, and I like the blue exterior, but am torn between the beige/tan or gray interior.

What do you all think, and what did you choose and why.

I have been looking at getting an '07 Elantra but have read a lot about the fuel pump problems mostly on Edmunds.com forums. Has anyone had this problem and how have the service managers been about replacing the fuel pumps? Does anyone know if Hyundai has acknowledged the problem or issued a service bulletin?

Thanks

How can I improve the sound of my radio in my 08 Elantra without replacing the deck?
Sound seems kind of muddy. I like the looks of the deck and the stereo controls. Anything that might improve the sound? New speakers? I have an Alpine 2 channel amp available from a prior car.

Has anyone bought the following key?

Does it work with the 2008 model KEY Fob and immobolizer?

Any success stories

thank

Thanks ever so , in advance.... default/' '' />

Had to get a better gas mileage car with some good features and soon. For past month no Elantra SE only GLS in California. Wanted SE!!! Went and purchased Corolla 09. I know could of saved maybe couple thousand but with no word of 09 elantra SE and its price point this may be a moot point. Sorry Hyundai your capacity planning caught you flat footed.

I still have an 06...

Recently purchased an 08 Elanta, and since I added XM radio, I'm CONSTANTLY changing stations. Honestly, its beginning to hurt my arm a little. My car isn't equipped with with the steering wheel audio controls, but I was wondering how much (or where, or even if) that can be reasonably installed. I looked online fpr kits but didn't see anything. About how much would that be with...

Does anyone in here Have Standard equipped GLS Elantra with no option Packages?

Hi everybody,
I was hoping someone may have insight on a problem I just encountered with my 2008 Elantra GLS. I bought it almost 4 weeks ago with 4700 miles - it was being used as a loaner so I got a discount on it. It had a minor scratch and dent on it that the dealership agreed to pay for so I brought it in last Thursday to get that work done. I got my car back yesterday afternoon and now...

Canadian Owners of 2007 Elantra's; have your speedometer and odometer checked. I checked mine against my GPS after I noticed cars seemed to be passing me when I was travelling the speed limit. My 2007 Elantra is consistantly 8 - 10 kmh faster then I'm actually going when travelling at 110 km/h, lesser difference at slower speeds but still off. I had the odometer checked and it's...

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...

My title came today!!!!!! along with my plates and tags/tabs (depending on where you are in the country lol)

Also, on my 3rd tank, well its about gone, and for this last tank I bumped the tires psi to 38 from 32. it appears going by the gas gauge that I got another 20-25 miles out of this tank, identical driving as the last 2 tanks.

That looks to be...

Hey Folks!

Newbie to forum: Just bought a 2008 Elantra SE and took 3 weeks to figure out that I had an active XM radio! Dealer never mentioned it was activated or how to use it---big surprise!

Anyway, now that I have about 9 weeks left on the trial, I was wondering if anyone knows about extending the subscription?

I've read alot about people...

I was listening to my Ipod (plugged into the aux jack) and a Who song came on. It was a song where one verse comes from one speaker and the next from the passenger speaker. Well, I could hardly hear the 2nd verse. I took the actual CD out to the car and it worked fine with the 2nd verse coming thru clear as day.

Could this be an issue with my Ipod? With the wire that connects it?

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...

Seeing if anyone has heard anything. I'm in California.

I know the 2007 SE's or Limited's have the trip computer with the average MPG and stuff like that on it, does anyone know where I can buy an OE gauge cluster that includes the trip computer? It's not super difficult to hook one up but I just don't know where to get a Hyundai Elantra one to replace my plane old trip 1 trip 2 odometer... thanks

Hello, I just signed up to these new forums after browsing and searching with no luck at all. Firstly, I want to say that I am purchasing a Hyundai Elantra GLS auto with pop equip. package. From my test drive i felt it was a nice little car that seems to be good on gas. Does anyone get more then what the EPA says localy? After 2 weeks of bargaining with the dealer they have settled at 13.2k and...

Hi there, I've just took the car from the shop. I always ask the tech to keep the spark plugs to make myself and idea on how the engine is performing... this is the second spark plugs replacement and guess what: first time they changed them the car had:
NGK ZFR5F-11 now seems like they replaced them with BKR5ES-11...

I am wondering why they fit a different plug and also I...

I own a 2008 Elantra, which I purchased six weeks ago. It was towed to the dealer for the second time in two weeks today. The problem is that it randomly loses power until even with the accelerator all the way to the floor, it will only go about 20 miles per hour. Then it just cuts off. Then, when I try to restart it, it will start, run, and idle roughly, and cut off. After it sits for an...

8629] Saw this photo compilation on another Hyundai site of the '09 Elantra. They are uncertain if it will be coming to US, but seems likely. Car looks nice, with the front end smoother-looking, more integrated and not so 'Oriental looking,' if you know what I mean.

Hey everyone,

I am on my first tank in my new 08.

I am at 100 miles and a tick under a 1/4 tank used according to the gauge.

I have been using the a/c all the time except for my morning commute to work, and do about 80/20 city/hwy.

My question is, am I on track for a good tank? does this gauge tell it like it is lol or does it slow at times and seem to...

For the life of me I cannot figure our what the FLDR or CAT buttons do.

Has anyone use them or know what they do?

Thanks,

John

I'm trying to make sure my insurance company is giving me proper credit for the type alarm the 2008 Elantra has. Here are the definitions they gave me.
When it comes to anti-theft we only have 3 options available. There is alarm only, passive disabling device & active disabling device.



From Safeco’s site:

Active Disabling Device - the vehicle is...

Well, Hyundai messed-up. During their transition to the 09 model which is not available they sold out of 08 Hyundai SE's. Huge sales going on the lower end model but I definately don't want the lower version of this nice car. Well, I'm stuck since we need to get a high mileage car soon and since can't get a nice SE I may have to turn to a Honda Civic. Hate to due but since it...

Hi all,

I was originally going to get a Accent, hence all my posts so far are in the Accent section, but I was test driving them and decided meh, the Elantra is right here I will drive that also, well, from the time I sat in the seat I knew I was getting a Elantra, the seats are far better, comfort wise and material wise then the Accent, and the layout is just more upscale and...

Just bought an 2008 Elantra GLS. My wife bought a 2008 Elantra SE, that will be delivered this week. Do these cars have an Anti-theft alarm system? (not just a panic alarm button on the remote) On my GLS there is no flashing red light that indicates an armed system. I tried arming the system useing the remote while I was in the car with the doors closed, then opened the doors to see if the alarm...

I called the nearest Hyundai dealer today, and was told a programmed remote for our 2007 Elantra was $160.00. This seems a bit pricey, and have found new remotes for the 07 Elantra on Ebay for $20.

My question is this: since the remotes have to be programmed by the dealer, is there any way I could buy a remote start/keyless entry package from Best Buy? My guess is they...

I just bought my 08 elantra 3 weeks ago and have been having the same problem at every fill up. The first time I stopped for gas was right after I purchased the vehicle. The dealer was with me because they were paying for the first fill up. The auto-stop on the pump engaged once the tank was full, however the gas came gushing out moments later. At first I thought it was just the particular gas...

Why some Elantras turn on the signal lights at the same time as the pilot(day lights) lights?. I've seen some of them doing that, but mine is not doing it. I'm wondering the there is any modificatión or something like that. When the signal lights are on makes the car look bigger and better. I would love to have this mod in my car, anyone can help me with this?

Do you all clear your MPG after every fillup?

I was wondering if anyone knew the location of a VSS wire on the 2007 Elantra, I found at website called rosta.com that gives the locations of the VSS wires on a ton of cars, but not the 2007 Elantra... I'm installing a nav system soon, I will post pictures but I need to know where that wire is in order to complete the install... thanks a lot!

Hey I'm a new owner default/460.gif' '460.gif' />

Got a 08 Elantra GLS - automatic trans with sirius radio and AC package in sand color.
Paid 14400 + 300 for shock sensor upgrade. So about 14700 + tax. Also free lifetime tires included.

I think I got a great...

My wife and I recently purchased a used (15,000 miles) Elantra. If I understand correctly, the alarm is activated after you get out and use the key fob to lock the doors. Every day when my wife is at work, the alarm goes off repeatedly. Today we locked it and went into a store for about ten minutes, and when we came out it was going off. Any ideas why it is going off so frequently? Is there...

Good afternoon, all.

I have a 2008 Elantra GLS with the stock stereo system - CD/AUX/XM. I'm not sure if this is a normal feature with the radio, but I've found that the volume levels of the radio will increase when the engine RPM or speed of the vehicle increases. When I slow down, the volume goes back to whatever is the original setting. At first, I thought it was a...

Ok...question...what the heck is the middle for???

Is it ok to leave an auxiliary plug (3.5mm) plugged into the auxiliary jack on the console when the car is off? I take my iPod with me because I do not want to leave it in the car, but I just wanted to confirm that I am not draining the battery if left in. Thanks.

Is there a list anywhere of good places to buy aftermarket parts/bling online. If not and you know a good place or two a link would be appreciated!

Thanx,

I haven't seen one on the lot with it installed. I think it's normally installed before it gets shipped to the dealer and is then the "factory" window sticker reflects the bluetooth option. The invoice price is about $292 when installed before the dealer gets it.
The dealer may or may not be able to install it at their site (probably for a higher price).
I see...

Hello all I drive a 2001 Saturn SL1 and the car has been super reliable over the 70,000 miles that were put on it (too bad the Astra is too expensive or i would jump on it for my new car default/tongue.gif' 'tongue.gif' /> ). I'm heading off to college soon and am looking for a good commuter...

I apologize because I posted this same message on the older Elantra forum...I'm putting it here because I have a 2008 Elantra.

When I bought my 2008 Elantra SE the dealership sold me an after market alarm called the Silencer. They did not tell me about the alarm that came with the car and implied there was no alarm system on the car. OK, my fault for not doing my homework better.

I JUST HAD AN ACCIDENT JUNE 1 AND MY CAR IS A POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS. I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX AND I LOVE MY CAR BUT I WENT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND TEST DROVE A 2008 ELANTRA, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. FOR THE PRICE YOU CAN NOT BEAT IT AND IT HAS ALL THE SAFTY FEATURES PLUS IT IS NOT A BAD LOOKING CAR. I WAS WONDERING IF SOME CURRENT OWNERS CAN GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK ON MAINTENANCE AND...

I was looking at my 07 GLS dash the other day and the sun was shinning on it, I noticed a couple extra lights that never light up, even when I turn the key to start without starting it. All the other lights turn on like normal except these three.... One says 120 km/h, the other is like a spring with two loops turned on it's side, and the forth looks like a rectangle with the bottom half...

Hi, i smashed my mirror on my 07 elantra, could anyone tell me a good place to get one? for cheap? just the mirror i broke like the actual glass other than that the mirror is intact


thanks for all the help

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.
