Appreciate your detailed video. Thank you. I compiled a step-by-step instruction sheet for our 2009 Accent. My impact wrench could not remove the 22mm crank bolt; had to get a pulley holder tool. The teeth on the timing belt were dry-rotted and fell off, then the crank gear just spun. Arizona summers did not help. As you know, engine is interference. Lucked out. Engine started instantly, idled fine and runs good. Dodged that bullet.

Very nice. If just replacing belt and not the adjuster another idea is to loosen the adjuster tension just like in the video. Then rotate engine while with a sharp knife cutting the timing belt in half length wise. Remove the half closest yourself. Slide new belt onto timing belt cogs and push up to the 1/2 width original belt. Cut and remove remaining original belt. Push the replacement belt all the way on the cogs. Loosen adjuster.

Unfortunately i don´t know, if this engine is a freerunner. On the other side, when the timing belt is broken, you must bring your car home or to a workshop and then replace the timing belt. In the best case you replace it and your engine/car runs again. In the worst case you need valves, sealings, etc., it´s more work to replace the damaged parts and more expensive. So if you replace the timing belt at the correct time, it´s cheaper for you and your car is more reliable.

@H_de_Weert

@@pannonicmechanic Thanks for the response! Yeah, I follow you. Actually, the timing belt needs replacement most of all. I've heard say you should always replace the water pump with the timing belt, since the stronger tension on the new belt, will likely cause the old water pump to fail. However, on a Hyundai Accent LC the timing belt does not power the water pump, so this doesn't go up. But, as I'll be down there anyway, I thought I'd replace all of the V-belts too. Now the V-belts do power the water pump, so the question arises again. However, there are two belts going around the water pump pulley, in almost exactly opposing directions, leading me to think that the tension on the belts does not play a big role here either. The two belts cancel eachother out, so to say. What do you think about this? And as a Hyundai mechanic, would you generally advise to replace the water pump, when replacing the V-belts? Is there a prescribed replacement interval for water pumps? I'll be doing everything myself, so only parts costs play a part, not mechanic costst :) Also, is removal of the timing belt necessary for replacing the water pump on this car? Or just removal of the V-belts?

@pannonicmechanic

Жыл бұрын

@H. De Weert Thank you so much for following me. :) The timing belt is one of the most important parts of the engine, therefore it should be replaced, when necessary. When i do this job, i always replace the V-Belts also. You must remove them and it makes no sense to put back an old part, especially such cheap ones. I think all V-Belts cost about 30-40.- Euro/Dollar. My experiences as a Hyundai Mechanic was, that the waterpumps on those cars were very reliable. In my personal case i can do all work by myself, so when it´s worned out i replace it. The other thing is, i absolutely hate cooling fluid. It´s smell, how it feels on my hands. So i do this only, if it´s really necessary. Once i had a defect waterpump on my first Accent and it made only a noise, when both V-belts were mounted. Unfortunately it was no solution to drive the car without Power Steering, so i replaced that part. After that i had no problems for over 300.000 Kilometers with the waterpump. I never heard about a replacement interval for waterpumps. I think the decision for a replacement is always a recommendation. You are right, on the Accent the V-Belt powers the waterpump, not the Timing Belt. Unfortunately you must remove the Timing Belt also, because the cooling fluid is not good for it. The other thing is, the tensioner pulley is mounted near the waterpump, so it can be necessary to remove that part also.

After oilchange i also had once a little problem. However, i didn´t tighten the drain plug well enough, so it was leaking after a few weeks. The solution was to tighten it a little bit more and the problem was solved. The most important thing is, to replace the sealing ring on the drain plug. I use copper sealing rings and not the massive type, there are some which are pressing by tightening the drain plug. Also tighten the oilfilter well, but only by hand. And after all, clean everything from oil, otherwise you think that you made a mistake. ;)

Some had lots of cracks on them and looked really old, I'm glad I finally did it and you helped me a lot with your informative well-filmed and well-edited video! My water pump came with a paper gasket which I damaged during the installation so I had to reuse the original metal one. I know that it's not ideal, however there was no pitting or any damage, it should be ok I think. The reason of my oil leaks I believe is the washer that I dind't replace during the oil change. Looks like it's leaking out at a rate of 1-2 drops a day so no concern as I really don't want to drain the oil again just to replace the washer!

@ribbyramone I´m happy that your were successful and i could help you with my video. Because of the waterpump gasket, it´s really not ideal if you reuse an old gasket, but if it works, it´s ok. Please check from time to time, if it´s not leaking there. Did you add some silicone to the surfaces? It´s bad, if your probleme because of the oil leaks is the sealing ring/washer on the drain plug. You must decide now, what to do. The intervalls between two oilchanges are about 10.000-15.000 kilometers. Do you want to tolerate the oil leaks for this long time or do you want to replace the sealing ring? I know that it sucks, when you must drain the oil and refill it again. You need a clean pan, etc. I did that job once without draining the oil, but i don´t want to recommend you. If you make a mistake, you drain the oil unwillingly.

Sure, you can only replace the Timing Belt without the Tensioner Pulley. Unfortunately the risk and the costs are higher, when the Tensioner Pulley breaks later. When your engine is not a freerunner, you have a total damage after that and in the worst case you must buy another car. I looked in a webshop. The Timing belt costs 21,91 euro and the Timing Belt Kit included the Tensioner Pulley 33,05 euro. The difference is only about 11 euro. I would recommend you to replace the Timing Belt and the Tensioner Pulley. You could use the old V-Belts, if they are not in a bad condition. The Generator, Power Steering and the Aircondition are not so important. In the worst case your car stops only. Then you can replace the broken V-Belt and you are ready to go again. Important is, that you must keep an eye on your waterpump and replace that part immediately, if it starts to leak or makes noises. I hope this explanation was helpful for you. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I was working as Car Mechanic for almost ten years and we had a broken Timing Belt at a Hyundai Lantra and a Hyundai H100 Minibus. Both engines were total damage. You told me that you have not so much money, so you would like to do that job more cheap.

She'll be holding the power....we can't have that, understand? On her 2003 Accent 1.6L, the lower timing cover (the plastic POS that is probably going to crumble away for ANY person doing this job in 2024 & beyond) has manufacturer markings on the lower left side, close to where that protruding lip comes out.... one of the markings is "T".... Now, there's like a bundle of different "procedure manuals" that I've seen owners post snap shots of in Hyundai forums for instance... in one of those i reviewed (& ONLY in that particular one from I've seen thus far) it tells u that for the Crank timing alignment, that "T" on the lower plastic cover is your guide to use.... it's basically in the same relative position as the little "dot notch marking" that you reference, but on the left side of the crank..... there's also other markings on the left that also are in line with that "T".... like a notch with white paint on it for instance.... now, on the metal wheel that gets put on before the crank pulley (the wheel that the belt will connect to at the crank), there's a manufacturer's marking of an arrow on one of the pegs or whatever they are.... and IT WAS/IS pointing directly to the notch on the right side that u also reference here... I'm sitting here on day 2 now questioning what direction to go... the cover literally says T & is referenced somewheres as the TDC for crank position... what do u think.... if this is something I'd figure out by continuing?? well i will admit, i might not figure it out ... really though, I'm terrified to destroy it & be up the creek with "mudder".... can u direct me perhaps?? And also, is there any fail safe measure that could be done after everything is all buttoned up, to ENSURE TDC HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED???

Hi. I hope i´m not too late, i tried to answer you as fast as i could. The reason for the two marks is simple, but the the good news is, both are the same. That one on cover has the reason, when you want to check the timing of the engine "without" removing v-belts, engine mount bracket, etc. For this you must only remove the top cover of the timing belt and you see the marks of the camshaft and the crankshaft. Another reason can be, when you want to check the ignition with a strobe lamp. Otherwise this makes not much sense any more, because you can´t adjust it. The other marks on the crankshaft you see in my video, is when you definitely want to replace the timing belt and you removed all the parts. So you have the marks on the pulley and the engine and you can continue your job. On the camshaft there is a spring pen and on the crankshaft you have a parallel key, so it´s nearly impossible to mount them wrong. So if you are careful with these parts, it´s relatively safe to do this job. The biggest mistake you can make is, when the alignement of the timing marks is not correct and when you make a mistake by tensioning. Therefore please always turn the engine minimum two rotations after replacing the timing belt and check the marks and the tension again. When you do the job by this way, your mother in law will be satisfied. :) I hope i could help you a little bit. Please tell me if i can help you further.

I usually won't complete something unless i feel i completely grasp what any teacher (KZreadrs that seems to have the understanding, local mechanics, inner circle people, etc)...& in doing this particular repair for the first time, I'm struggling to know why transferring current belt markings to new belt has any relevance whatsoever (just about all video/info site out there says to do so)....i saw 1 where a Hyundai dealership mechanic just "filming his routine without any audio really" doesn't mark anything, he just quickly swaps them out & does the 2 full cam rotations... what help does belt markings do besides create panic if they're a tooth off for whatever reason? Is it not safe to say that as long as you complete the manual crank rotations & align at the end, that you're fine?? And what happens if you do all that and they're not aligned? Can that happen (or does that mean u keep rotating until alignment happens top & bottom)... is there any event that might cause those 2 to not be in agreement at their "end points?"...... From my first time at this, I've also learned that it seems to be the tensioner causing not just the most problems for install, but the most causes for shop returns (usually within weeks too)... you mentioned this point in your reply.... if u don't mind, what is the best way to go about this again?? I just about stripped the spring bolt hole out (not because of your video)...i saw in another that is passed around as technician approved in Hyundai forums where they leave the long hole bolt out while doing the spring side... anyway, I'm back over here trying to button this up, but refuse to just slap that tensioner on not knowing if it's solid... the wife requested mudder to hang around longer, otherwise, it "might've" been some school glue & scotch tape to complete the job ... So, is this correct u think?? Install tensioner, both bolts, but leave both loose (if so, HOW loose & equally?? like should long hole be tight to help relieve some of the force of prying the spring to position?? Or in making long hole bolt tight, will that put unwanted force on spring bolt??).... then, u loosen long hole to push up the tensioner body, then tighten in its elevated state right?? then belt gets installed?? then long hole is loosened to lower the body in place for tension?? Then both tensioner bolts are torqued to roughly 19ft/lb's ?? then turn crank twice for timing alignment??? And finally, when removing crank bolt after everything seems right, will any of the movement from loosening it to install cover, harmonic balancer, etc., as well as then tightening it for torque, will that movement need corrected or adjusted as well??? is that then, why we have the different marking on the lower cover, to use as reference for doing another 2 rotations? i really appreciate your advice, sorry it's really wordy, i just have to think many if not most rookies at this come to similar questions....

@Atonement Thanks for your nice words. Oh man. We have a proverb for this: You can choose your friends, but not your relatives. But i´m sure that lady has positive sites too. She is the mother of a wonderful woman, who is your wife? :) I´m happy about your attitude to this job and i try to help you to understand. There are many ways to replace a timing belt, in my video i tried you to show the correct one. I don´t want to say, that i´m always right or whatever. But doing by this way you should be able to do it correct and to check the very important details, which are really important. If you don´t take care about these, you have a big engine failure and in the worst case you need another car. It´s important to line up the timing marks, because the pistons and the valves (crankshaft and camshaft) are then in the correct position. When the crankshaft mark lines up, the piston of the first cylinder is on the top dead center. When the camshaft lines up, the valves of the first cylinder are closed. Should something happen by replacing the timing belt, disassembling the whole engine, whatever. You can always turn the engine to the timing marks and the engine components are in the right position. That can be always a new start. These are the basics, how an internal combustion engine works. If you are wrong by only one tooth, the car needs more fuel, does not have accceleration, doesn´t start or the pistons hit the valves and damage them. Therefore these marks are so important. So you must line up the timing marks, loosen the timing belt, replace it with a new one, tighten the new belt, check the marks, do two rotations, check the marks again, and check the tension of the timing belt. These are the basics. When you install the new timing belt, you should put it on the tensioner pulley as last wheel. It must be the loosest point, otherwise the tensioner can´t move/do it´s job. I tried to show you the easiest way to replace the tensioner and assemble the spring again. That´s one of the most trickiest details, because you must press against the spring. If you remove the bolt from the long hole, it may be easier to put the spring in it´s position, but then you must press the whole tensioner and screw in the bolt. Normally that´s harder to do. If you let the bolts of the tensioner loose, it should be about a half or one rotation, not more. So that you can move the tensioner easy into both directions. All other steps you described were correct, please do it by this way. When you assembled all the parts together, you can do again two rotations to check the timing again and for this you can use the marks on the timing belt cover and on the v-belt pulley of the crankshaft. To be honest, i never did this beuase i had no problems after assembling after replacing the timing belt. I hope i could help you with these explanations and wish you good success by doing this job. Please keep me updated.
