  • 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 guys.
I own genesis g80 3.3gdi awd htrac 2018 model.the car has only 12.300km and i think already has a problem.
When i accelerate the car between 40kph and 80kph there is a whining sound.after 80kph will just dissapear. But..if im on 120kph and i change the drive mode to Sport the whining sound comes back but its not that loud. All this whining sound comes from front of the car.
Sombody told me that this could be the front differential and the whine might be reduce if i change the oil and add a good additive.but not sure yet from where that sound comes..just to mention.the car doesnt have any warranty as it is imported from korea. So what can be..?
And i really need to know also if this model has LSD(Limited slip diff) or not.thx

Did you fix the problem? Do you have a garage that works on Genesis Cars anywhere in Dubai or Sharjah or elsewhere? I am planning to get a 2015 V6 soon, will there be problems? I too have no warranty. Is the car expensive to maintain?

Well...first i decide to have a look at the front diff oil. I took i video but not able to post it here.anyway..the oil was so thick..like a toothpaste..i think sombody try to change it and add wrong oil. I change the oil to make a flush inside so i can all the pinions.tomorrow i will go to change it again. The thing is that here in UAE hyundai dont sell genesis AWD htrac.so they are not able to help me with front diff spare parts...the Maintanance its not expensive.well depends on what will get Wrong..
In my case..i think i will remain in the whine..or..maybe i can find used diff in Sharjah.in ur case if its only rwd make sure after u buy it .change all oils.transmission ,rear diff,and engine oil.

Fluid flush might solve it. Presume you live in a warm climate. Thick like tooth past doesn't sound right unless your below freezing temps.
