engine

2013 sedan with 3.8. 23000 miles, when accelerating I hear what sounds like an exhaust leak or air leak. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this. I checked everything and everything is tight. Going to dealer next week to have it checked. Thanks

Hello All! Thanks for taking time to read this post as I am very concerned about my new car. Nothing seems wrong at all so maybe I am just being a nervous-nancy. But... I live in SC and needed to drive to VA to get the car as a family member was able to get a killer deal on brand new 14 GC...

Lets see what different color dynamics and prototype intake people have created..

For two years have been using the K&N in my Pilot and Accord while experiencing improved exceleration, That's great, but really no proof of how much clean air the engine is getting over time. I was considering putting the K&N in my Genny but came across this read while researching another topic...

I just bought a used 2012 3.8 sedan base with 30k miles. The salesman told me to change the oil every 3k miles but no one really does that anymore. I believe the manual says 7500. Anyhow, what kind of engine oil should I use - synth or conventional? Is it 10w30 or 5w20? Also, the manual...

A friend of mine and his wife drive GM vehicles with GDI engines. GM recommends that they "decarbonize" their engines when performing an oil/filter change at regular intervals. About a $140.00 ticket. The service tech's explanation is that the GDI engine intake valves do not see the flow of...

Fellow owners, This thread is intended for only those interested in purchasing an appearance package for the Genesis sedan. PLEASE ONLY REPLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND VOTE AS I NEED AN ACCURATE COUNT FOR THESE ORDERS The Prada Edition Genesis has rear engine covers not normally equipped...

Ok guys, I just picked up my Genny after having a new (refurbished by Hyundai) long block installed after I threw a rod. I drove the 40 miles home and it runs just fine but when I stopped at a light about half way home I could smell burning oil. I stopped and got out, went to the rear where...

So I have had my 2009 4.6 for 22 days. Last night when I left the hockey rink I started my car and allowed it to warm up for about 3 minutes while I got my bag in the car. Started driving out of the parking lot and everything was fine. Turned the corner and when I got to right about 30 MPH...

I took my 2009 Genesis V8 4.6L in for the TO# 14 Brake recall. They fixed that for me. I mentioned that I was getting a clack-clack-clack noise on start up. The dealership checked it out. I have 74,000 miles on it. They tried two fixes that Hyundai recommended. Still clack-clack-clack. They...

Ok guys, I have searched and have not found. Main issue: Since I have not found a KDM version of the engine cover, if there is such an item, I was wondering if the engine covers between the two V8's were interchangeable? Has anyone measured the contact points on the two covers, or tried fitting...

Hi all. I have a 2009 4.6 with 34,000 miles. Luckily I also have the 100,000 CPO Hyundai "bumper to bumper" extended warranty, for which I paid extra. About a week ago, I started my car which was parked in the garage. I immediately heard a loud knocking sound from the engine, a very unhealthy...

I have a 2012 Genesis and have had the engine stop while driving twice since October. No indicator lights come on. Both times I was driving under 25 mph making a turn. Very scary to have this happen. First time I took the car back and service writer could not duplicate the problem. Today I...

Started the car this am to see a Check engine light. No other symptoms. Took it to my local independant who checked it with the OBD. Code indicated 'fuel injection sensor history'. ? ? Fault reset & disappeared. Driven 300+ miles since. No problems/repeats. Anyone had this occurrence ?:confused:

I am a proud new owner of a used 2013 Genesis. I just have two concerns with the acceleration and the engine temp. When accelerating, it almost sounds like their is some engine knock going on. Should I be using a higher octane gas?? Or is this common? Also the engine temp is typically in...

My 2009 Genesis has a 4.6 TAU engine (114,000 miles) that is apparently too broken and too complicated to fix. I have posted here previously about the problems with the entire right side out of time. Several mechanics have told me to just buy and swap another used engine. Does anyone know a...

Can someone explain to me the differences that are in a GDI engine? What are the pros and cons?

My Genesis is running on 4 cylinders and giving error codes P0019, P0302, P0304, P0306, and P0308. I am being told by Hyundai that it is not worth fixing. The car has 114,000 miles and was a commuter driven 130 +/- highway miles every day. Not abused. Is this car really finished? How does this...

Has anyone noticed an engine whine that seems to be coming from the timing chain covers around the camshafts. Seems to be most noticeable from 1200-2000 RPM. Our V-8 has done this since new (has about 3800 miles now) and I have not noticed any change in volume. Does seem a little louder when...

The bug has struck and I decided to devote a Friday evening to spicing up the silver/black theme under the hood of my 3.8. I also tweaked my intake a few weeks back and now the color theme is consistent (except for the wiper fluid cap).
