hi every one;

Does anyone know the Break pads Size or the Model No. for Matrix 2007, coz i wanna find Brembo or Hawk Pads that fit My Matrix

Hi, i'm new to the forum and am posting because my girlfriend is having a bit of trouble with her 2002 Matrix 1.6 GSi.

For a few weeks she's complained that occasionally the engine warning light would flash on and the car would become a bit sluggish when accelerating.

She has just rang me to say that the light is now permanently on, although the car seems to be running ok.

Having had a look at a few posts it seems to be something to do with o2 sensors or ECU connection? I'm not awfully hands on when it comes to cars, but is it easy to look for these items and check connections?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as we could really do without a garage bill at the moment.

Regards,
John

hi im new to this, my airbag light has come on can anyone advise me please my car has only done 18000 miles thanks.

Hi All,

Just can't wait to share with all my friend in this forum, finally i have my matrix tinted with VKool Vsafety 8mil. i has been searching around in KL, ever since my car was broke in by some one in Cheras Markotha, and my wife lost her beg and all her valuable personal belonging (I know is stupid to let the beg in the car, so now a days never too lazy to be careful, those thief just need few second to break your car's windows. and they don't care about ppl are watching them, but this is another topic la), i start searching around, and join a lots of forum to check which tint should I go for it. price is one of the major consideration that i am putting in. at first i think of going for Suncool, and that is only for heat blocking 80% (the shop claim that la. i don't know is true or not). and it will only cost me about RM 300. but after reading a lot of forum recommendation, i think Vkool is most recommended by a lot of ppl. but the price stop me to go for it, because it is too costly to me, which i can't effort to pay for it.

Just recently, in a morning when i fetch my wife to work, i saw a shop with a very big banner, said Vkool promotion and they give free give (you can choose Garmin GPS, Sony PSP, DVD player or camera), it attracted me, I wend in to the shop and chat with the sales person (I think he is the boss la, but he don't claim that), I am looking for the safety tint film for my matrix, they have plenty of choices from 3mil to 8 mil, price is from RM 1400 to RM 3K+. at first I am just asking cause I never think of go for so expensive tint, and it out of my budget, until the sales person told me that can make an 12 months installment then my eyes is start shinning, cause if with 12 months installment , i can effort up to the range of 8 mil (cost me RM2688). and some more I can have a free Garmin GPS 205 ( I checked the market price, the most cheapest price which can get from Lelong.com or ebay malaysia for this GPS is about RM 720, and some shop in Law Yat even sale it at about RM 900 to RM 1K).

It took me 3 days to think of it, and i even go to Raytech and compare the price, Raytech is about the same price like VKool, their top range of security tint is about RM 2800 8mil tick. but they didn't give free gift. I ask my wife which one and which range should I go for it, and my lovely wife just ask me one question "it depend on how much you love your Matrix lo?", after another day of consideration, i choose the VKool 8 mil (RM2688) cause I really love my matrix so much http://www.hyundai-forums.com/style_images...cons/icon12.gif , and today after fetching my wife to work, I strike away drive my car to the shop and ask them to tint it for me, and it took me about 6 hours for them to install the tint to my matrix, luckily the sales person loan me his car, so that i can go home and wait for them to call me once done. and I told them slow is ok as long as the workmanship is good. when they call me to pick up my car, i was so happy, and finally i saw my car was tinted with the tint film that i dream of it for so long. (so today i got 2 dream come true, tinted my car with Vkool and have a Garmin GPS) one stone kill two bird.

Good day I have a 2003 Hyundai Matrix (la vita) and the alarm goes off randomly especially when you open the doors, and turns its self off after about 30 seconds I cannot disable by remote and Instructions in the manual are useless

Please assist me in the EXACT location of the alarm manual override
Or how to stop this and possible solutions
the manual is written NC850AN micro-processor control car alarm system

I have tried to disconnect the battery and reconnecting but within 5seconds it goes off
PLEASE HELP

I have lavita 2001 , when long driving or A/C on start to be over heated, I changed the radiator but no better. water heated and come out of the radiator,then water level is low. I used to refill the radiator twice a day.please help I want to know what cause heating else than the radiator

I have Hyundai Matrix/Lavita and here is the background...

several months ago my car refused to start in the morning. The alternator just did not start turning.
They checked everything in Repair's shop (fuse box, fuel line & pump) and it turned out to be a crankshaft position sensor/ They replaced it and viola. But, since that time I got another minor issue - When I start car engine remotely (from car alarm remote control) it unlocks central door lock. I checked thoroughly and excluded alarm system malfunction as possible reason. I disconnected the alarm system and the issue is the same. It unlocks the door lock as soon as I switch the ignition on. (The same happens when I start it remotely of course).

And when the ignition is ON, it's not possible to lock doors. For that reason doors don't lock automatically when the car runs over 20 KM/h as it did before. And when I switch ignition, start the car, 2-3 seconds later central door lock tries to unlock doors once again inspite it is already unlocked. Wierd...Maybe it is somehow connected with the previous issue with sensor or faulty actuator..don't know/ Any thoughts/help is MUCH MUCH appreciated. I need to start my car to warm it up in winter without giving everybody access inside ;)

good day to all.this is my very first post upon being a member.i was wondering who can shed light to my problem.i have a 2003 manual matrix 1.6.when i start my car after being parked for say 3hours,it would sound like a cat purring.but when i am already running in the highway and have my ac on,the ticking would start.it makes my car sound like a diesel engine but it is gasoline.but when i park it,let cool down then start again there would be no sound but when i start running again and with ac on the ticking sound would come back.any comments or opinions or diagnosis are welcome.thanks

after tinted my Matrix, the next thing that i want to improve my Baby Matrix is the FC and performance, they are few things that i plan to go for it, after reading a lot of posted topic in this forum.

1) voltage stabilizer (the are few price cheap one is about RM 150 to RM 180, and one of the Hyundai SC recommended me to got for a good one RM 658, they said this is a nano technology . but i think is too costly to me, i think I will go for the RM 150 or RM 180.)
2) change the air filter to K&N (I search around in ebay and lelong.com, it seem like cost me about RM 148)
3) Cool Air Intake (I think is a bit costly too, about RM 150 each, and it needs to install about 2 into the car, according to the Boss in SC, located in somewhere near connoght Puspacom .

so total up I might need to spend around RM 600. in the coming 3 to 4 months. then i think i will bear with my Baby in this condition, unless is needed, else i will just avoid to do anything else. cause my wallet is blooding, still need to pay the car tinted cost monthly about RM 224 X12..

anyone know where can i get the K&N air filter with good price ? i will be very appreciate if you can tell me...

Been an owner of an Hyundai Matrix 1.6 SXI Automatic for five days. Just been to lock the car and found that only the drivers door locks with the key fob. The central locking system is factory fitted and is made by Direct Electronics. The model is MAXX1. I have tried to lock the doors with the key but again only the drivers door locks, when all the doors are locked manually on exiting the vehicle then remote lock the car to lock the drivers dorr and enable the alarm, all fine. I can use the key fob to disarm the alarm and all the door locks open, but again when I try to lock the car only the drivers door locks. Any help out there would be great.

Can someone give me instructions on how to drain matrix (gasoline) fuel tank? thanks

From Russia with love :-))

Gentlemen, we have founded a club of Hyundai Matrix (Lavita) owners recently in Russia. There are up to 800 members in the club now. One of our crazy :-) current idea is to equip front passenger seat with elbow (arm) rest.

But HMC does not supply necessary parts to the russian market because of Russia's right side driving rules.
So the driver’s seat (with armrest) is at the left side of the car but we need a reverse variant of the armrest. The idea is to obtain the necessary parts for the elbow rest for the front passenger seat from the country market with left side driving rules.
Otherwords- we want to find nesessary parts ftom UK market, as an example, or Australia, etc. Where else we have wrong hand driving :-) OK?

Therefore we would kindly ask you for a little assistance. Please, could you provide us the correct Part Numbers of the armrest of the RIGHT seat (at the right side) of the car, and we hope to concider these Part Numbers will be of the armrest of the LEFT hand.

There are 4 parts to be identified:

1- armrest itself;
2- cap for the axis (or cover) – we think, that we have got the correct number already - CAR-FR SEAT A/REST, INT, LK
Part Number - 88930-17100LK, (check, please)
3- axis;
4- leveling support -fixed support ( looks like the long round nut) which is constantly fixed at one side of the seat for the leveling the armrest.

Looking forward to future contacts.
Wellcome to out club and our country.

My 2003 automatic Hyundai matrix engine vibrates when i accelerate... Anyone can solve this problem?

Recently when driving 2002 1600 automatic huyndai matrix the following occurs - At speeds 50kph or over with or without a/c in use temperature satisfactory. When i have to go 40kph or less the temperature guage soon rises (so far I have kept it out of the red zone, stopping if necessary). This happens most quickly with a/c on but will happen with it of. The engine fan does turn on as required and runs after turning of motor until engine cooler. The pollen filter has been changed and a/c regassed. How do I know if there is a secondary fan and if so how do I know if it is working

Hi there all!!

My Matrix 02-03 Diesel has developed a strange wobbling sensation when I excelerate. Kicks in around 32-40 mph and is at its worst at 40 in 4th gear.

Have checked tyre balence, but no change. I think it could be an engine mount, but I can see any obvious evidence of this.

Does or has anyone else had this problem. Its driving me nuts!!

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi guys,
I know I'm new to this site, and from the answers i've got from you guys regarding questions I've asked in the past you might be able to help me yet again.
In the UK, the hyundai Matrix automatic has a driver side arm rest bolted onto the seat, which is no problem for me sourcing due to the parts having a part number in the UK.
BUT.
What I need is a supplier of korean hyundai matrix spares so that I can get hold of the passenger (UK) driver (korea) side arm rest as I can't get them from the UK.
does anyone know of a supplier who can speak english and ship to the UK?

And while I'm on the subject of spares, hyundai Korea have a great set of matrix indicator/downlighter wing mirrors of which I'd love to get hold of a pair as they are not standard fit on the UK model, but are on the Korean.
Does anyone know where I can get them from as well.

Many thanks.

Kev

Hi! I have a 2004 Hyundai Matrix (right hand drive) and am having problems with the central door locks. There is no key fob but the locks are opened/closed via the key in the drivers side door. The locks have a mind of their own and have been making strange noises (like they are opening and closing) even when the car is turned off. I thought I would just take out the fuse - but low and behold there was no fuse in the door lock slot. This occurrance has gotten so bad that it is continusly draining my battery and has forced me to disconnet the batter at night to ensure that I will be able to start the car in the morning. I am not the original owner of the car! One day the hatch was making really loud noises and I managed to take the cover off and unhook the realy. But the noise is continuing and seems to mainly be coming from the drivers side door! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am living in Barbados, WI, so as you can imagine parts here are really expensive. I really don't care to fix if too expensive but if there is something simple to do to stop the noise that would be great. Thanks!!!!!

We have some Auto Maxi roofbars and are about to fit them to our Matrix, along with a top box. Unfortunately I can't find the instructions for the bars which I know gave a range of suitable gaps between the two bars. Can anyone tell me what the range is please? At the moment the topbox holes set the gap at 67 cms. It's a smallish box so I'm imaging this will be OK but any suggestions would be useful please?

I know there's quite a few "in the know" matrix owners out there, so I'm going to ask this hoping that someone can come back to me with an answer.
I've got a 2005 matrix SE and I'm not happy with the fuel consumption, and also the acceleration from the car.
I know that this is a known issue with the car, but has anyone managed to sort this out so that they can get more miles per gallon and better acceleration?

cheers.

Hi guys (and gals)
I need some help, and I thought you would be able to sort me out.
I've just bought a front fog light kit for my matrix and it comes with all the bits including the looms, relay, switch etc.
But, when I started to fit the lamps, I noticed that those nice people from Hyundai had already put the looms for the lamps in the the car already.
So with that, happy person that I am, I fitted the lamps to the included loom, bought a micro relay for the IP fuse box (the one in the kit included was too big), then I hit a problem.
For the life of me I can't find the connector from the IP fuse box to the switch.
I've check the wiring diagrams and they all tie in with the car but there's no cable coming from the fuse box to the inside of the car so that I can connect the switch to the loom.
I've even had the fuse box to bits to trace the cables, and they are all there but I just can't find out where they end up.
So, does anyone know where I can look for the little critters as I've got a matrix with great looking front fogs that just don't work.

Also, while I'm here (sorry for the cheek)
My central locking does not work when I open and close the drivers door.
I've checked all the fuses etc but I just can't see a problem.
The only thing I haven't checked is the ETACM unit.
I doupt very much if it is the ETACM unit as everything else on the car works fine.
Any help would be grateful, as there's no use in having central locking if the thing don't work.

Kev.

I am at lost to whether I tint the rear window or not. I went around different shops asking around and almost all of them cannot guarantee that the heating element will not be damaged when the time comes to replace the tint. One shop told me that he has with one naza car heating element, other cars are fine.

Do you, matrix owners tint your rear windows? Any unfortunate experiences with heating elements?

Pls advice on tinting.

Thank you.

hey!

is it possible to turbo my 2004 matrix?? i'm not going to be drag racing or anything but i had a scoupe before and that was a GT model, so i kinda got a likeness for the blow-off valve sound. where can i get an exhaust manifold or even an entire engine just in case my experiment doesnt work??

Hi all ... I have a 2005 1.6 manual hyundai matrix ( LT trim ) with mileage 26000 km , lately I encountered a steering problem ... the ground disorders can be feeled very notably in the steering wheel ... that wasen't so before ... Before , I could hardly feel and disorder on the ground ... I wander what could be the main reason .... I have another question regarding the air conditioner when turner on ... I feel a very notable vibration in the engine and the car in general ... and in the steering wheel in particular when at idle ..... this vibration can also be feeled at idle at low rpm ( lower than 1000 ) even with the A/C turned off .... do u have the same thing or I have a problem ? thanks for concerning .....

after the engine shaking and blow white smoke, i have to rebuid the engine.

remove the cylinder block and see the gasket already tear appart. tear down between cylinder 1 and 2.

so i decided to take down all the engine and have the block and head resurface. also change the piston size, up by 0.50 mm

this is where the problem.

when i want to place the order for piston and ring piston oversize 0.50 mm the dealer say they dont have it anymore. what the fuc!!
they say you have to go to standard size or you have to install boring on the engine block. huh?????

it is the same as you say if your engine already wear just throw away your car, no repair is possible.

btw my engine is g4ed 1.6l gasoline

any suggestion?

Hi to all the other Hyundai owners, especially the Matrix owners ;-) My wife and I just bought a 2003 Matrix with 31,000 KM on it and we absolutely love it.
I especially like that it is designed as if by Victorinox (Swiss Army knife guys). I do have a couple of questions if anyone feels like answering them.
First, we have the automatic transmission with overdrive. I have already noticed that when stepping on the gas, it can be a bit sluggish to downshift. Is this normal?
It's not a big deal, it works fine, but it is not like any other transmission I have used before. My other questions is regarding the user's manual.
Since ours is used, we didn't get one. It's not that the car is difficult to figure out, it's just the trip computer. I really cannot understand what it is up to sometimes.
I have already donwloaded the shop manual from the link provided on this site, but it doesn't tell me how to use the computer, just how to replace it etc.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Paul.

Hi,
I just bought a new 2007 matrix few days ago.

Tonight I forgot to turn off the head lights, I realised that when I came back to my car. My old car makes some sort of sound to warn me if I forget to turn of the headlights. Does matirx has a sound warning system to warn drivers if they forget to switch of the headlights, or there is something wrong my my car's warning system?

Appreciate any reply.

hyundai matrix 1.5 diesel repair manual can anyone help please

Hello All,
Good Day,

I am about to buy the new Hyundai Matrix 2009 and i live in Egypt at the moment. I want to know the egyptian specifications for this car and whether if it is a good car or not. Generally, in cars, all i care about is the mechanics of the car. Since my country is full of many bumping roads and open sewers, i am afraid to buy a car that can not handle all these environments.

And my question is: why the heck our dealers in egypt took off the airbags and the ABS/EBD systems? they are a safety specs and they are very important

If anyone lives in egypt and bought this car so please advise me before buying it

Thanks in Advance

Hi ALL Hyundai Matrix Owners and Mechanics....

I own a 2004 Hyundai Matrix. I've read articles on Strut Bars and am convinced on it's usefullness. This is where my problems begin:

I've tried 3 brands so far. 3 different retailers, 1 same problem!

The 3 brands I tried were Korea Moters (Korean), Pro-Car (Malaysian) and Ultra-Racing 4-point Strut (Malaysian).

After installation, there will be a irritating 'crickerling' sound everytime my car travels over uneven terrains or even a hump.

Before even suggesting the possible problems. Please allow me to share what it isn't!

1. It isn't that the Struts are not tightened down enough. 3 different retailers can testify to that.

2. It isn't that they didn't remove the metal washers that came with the stock car.

3. It isn't that the Strut is hitting on any movable engine parts (like the air-filter valve etc)

4. It isn't that we didn't add washers (rubber and metal)!

5. Nope, it isn't the suspension cos without the struts, it doesn't make any noise!

So what could it be? One idea I had was to change the nut that bolted the Strut to the car frame (to the suspension). Do you think that will help? It's the only solution I have thought up with.

The 3 retailers of the Strut Bars mentioned above felt so bad that they couldn't solve my problem that they refunded my monies and took back the Strut before I even suggested it! Pity! I really liked the Ultra Racing 4-Point Strut especially because it is white and matches my car! Also, I know it's useful cos of that *^#~ 'crickerling' sound!

There is still one more hope! Alutec will be rolling out their Carbon Fibre Strut for Hyundai Matrix soon and I wanna make sure that they have no excuse to sell it to me, return my money and take it back!

Please help! Thanks!!
