  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hello family

I recently inherited/repoed from soon to be ex wife an amazing piece of Korean engineering.
Immediately upon takeover I noticed low beams and fog lights are not working. Electrical Hyundai glitch or what? $$$?
Some of the steering wheel controls are not working as well including horn so I figured it must be a common Hyundai problem with clock spring. $$$?
When I start engine it's loud for a second and then everything goes to normal. Runs and pulls as it should. Somebody said earlier that it's a timing chain tensioner. Can I replace just the tensioner? However I got 2 engine codes. 1st for engine timing advance and 2nd for O2 sensor. Easy fixes? Yay or nay? Right after I got the car I changed the oil and check engine codes cleared for about 24 hours but then came back. I really like the car and would like to keep it bc it's like a jet but also would like to fix everything on it.
Car is located in Chicago - so if anybody is from the area would like to know where to take it for repairs etc etc
Thanks!
