another thing that makes that sound is the timing belt tensioner pulley. The bearing in that pulley wears out at 70,000+ miles. if you have not replaced the timing belt and tension pulley, and the car has more than 70,000 miles, do it.Hey, when i turn on my car and when i have my foot on the accelerator something in my engine makes a cricket sound. (and no it is not a real cricket). I just changed all my belts solving the squeaking from them but the sound still remains. I am hoping someone can help me.
I have 75000km. You should replace it around 100,000km. 70000 miles is probably somewhere near 100,000km but maybe i should go take a look at it anywayanother thing that makes that sound is the timing belt tensioner pulley.

I think that 100,000 is pushing it too far. The engine will still run, but the pulley starts to get noisy around 70,000, the bearing starts to wear out at that point. I think it's a really good idea to change it early, and avoid the risks that go along with a worn timing belt and tensioner, even if it's not really "worn out." Perhaps I'm just paranoid, or I love quiet engines. (probably both)...My timing pulley broke when I was pulling out of my driveway, at about 94,000 miles, and I just pushed it back in the garage and tore it down. No valve damage thankfully...but if I was going 65 MPH on the freeway!!! And at 94,000 the tensioner pulley bearing was practically destroyed, I mean wiped out. That my friend was a lucky save, in the right place at the right time.I have 75000km.

Il give it a try later today. 100,000km is about 62,000 miles but i will still check it out.I think that 100,000 is pushing it too far.

And you know, I never drive the car hard, just take it really easy at low RPM.
OK so take the alternator belt off, power steering belt off, etc...and run it parked, see if the noise goes away. You can find out if it's an outside problem or an "under the timing cover" problem.
But overall, Hyundai is still the most trouble free car I ever owned, and I can't fault the design, it's really pretty good for the price you pay. You know, even the most expensive cars have problems...
At 62,000 the odds are that the pulley is OK. But if you take the outside belts off and still hear the noise...there may be something amiss under the timing cover for sure.Il give it a try later today. 100,000km is about 62,000 miles but i will still check it out.
I also have another little problem that maybe you can help me with (i made a post for it also). When i release the brake pedal i can hear my drums squeak. Same thing happens when i release the handbrake. Any ideas as to what it is?
