Has anyone looked into the availability and cost for a replacement long block from the dealer?

Anyone else ever notice how quiet the engine cooling fan is? Because I'm retired, every morning, I go for my morning Cafe Mocha, either in Downtown Mount Dora, or Wegmans in Penfield, or a little coffee shop on Main and Second in Roswell. I see a lot of cars parking while I'm walking around...

Hey Guys, I came across this video on youtube discussing the all new GDI Lamba V6 engine. This engine will most likely appear in the 2011 Genesis i'm assuming. YouTube- Hyundai Lambda V6 GDI Engine - Beijing

I am getting ready to do an oil change soon and was curious as to how the engine cover comes off? Didn't want to just pull on it until I know exactly how it comes off? Also if the cover was left off would that increase the amount of engine noise coming through to the cabin? Any negatives to...

Slick Thinking: new API oil standard There are broad strokes that you can take toward increased efficiency. Going that route results in expensive new technology or plucking the low-hanging fruit. The other way, of course, is to optimize everything obsessively, from wheel bearings to wiper...

Hello, I rented a Genesis V6 (2009/47,000 KM) few weeks ago I noticed that when I turn the car on in the morning, and while it is cold, the RPM goes up and down in a strange way, and I can hear the engine sound going up and down But when the car warms up, the RPM starts to settle and move...

I had my first real mechanical issue with my 4.6 this last week. Monday morning I started her up for my trip to work and noticed the car was vibrating heavily and the Check Engine light was on and blinking. Shut off the motor and restarted. No more vibration and Check Engine light was off...

The check engine light came on yesterday. Took the car to the dealer today and they said that the gas cap was not tight. I thought that this was strange since I always turn the cap until it clicks at least 3 or 4 times. I had burned almost a full tank before it came on with 80 miles to empty...

I was just reading an article from a blog of an influential automotive journalist in Korea and thought you may find it interesting: According to him and his contact, Genesis is expected to get a mild face-lift in the early 2011. On the powertrain side, both 3.3 (not available in State side) and...

Hey All, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this but I'm guessing it is! I'm picking up my new Genesis Sedan 3.8 this Friday at the dealership and I am trying to get tips on the break-in procedure for the engine. I have seen a lot of contradicting info so far and I'd like to have a...

Hello everyone, I just took delivery of a new Genesis 3.8 Sedan after my 2003 Honda Accord 6 was totalled by a teenager who was "distracted". I was stopped on a straightaway behind a woman turning left, and he hit me at 35 MPH. Overall, so far, I think the Genesis 3.8 is amazing. My Accord 6...

Called the dealer at 7:30 Pst this morning, told me to bring it in at 11:00, did so. They ran the diagnostics, found a minor evaprotive(SP) leak code, checked all possible places for leaks, found none. Appears there is a TSB for this, they reprogrammed the ECU in accordance with the TSB, check...

Maybe I put my original post on the wrong thread (or maybe nobody's interested) got the check engine light at 460 miles, anybody else had this problem. Like to know before I take it to the dealer tomorrow. Thanks

I have the 3.8 engine and it seems that under light acceleration the engine almost knocks. It seems as if the the spark is advanced to a point just short of a knock. I plan to use premium fuel next tank and see if it changes. Also, has anyone hear differential noises? I have trouble deciding...
