so working for hyundai for 9 years i can tell you that the little rubber seal you installed needs some rtv around the outside of it to seal. this will 100% blow out again and destory the new cover you install. also make sure it didnt groove the cam, copper around around the cam shaft. when the oil wipes out the seal that cam spins and destroys the phaser. the
I put over 100,000 miles on my 2010 NF Sonata 4cyl from '15-'20. Only needed an alternator. My car was totaled by a young kid without a license or parent in the car. Thank you 5NPEU4AC0AH631622 for the memories

I've torn down and rebuilt these Theta II engines due to spun rod bearings, semi-seized oil pumps and stuck piston rings. My conclusion is everything starts from the piston rings. Carbon builds up between the piston ring grooves and rings (low quality oil/too long between oil changes), the rings get stuck and no longer scrape oil off the cylinder walls; hence oil burn/consumption. The driver/owner doesn't keep tabs on the engine oil level, the oil pump begins to lose pressure (and the balance shaft bearings start to wear) and finally the connecting rod bearings wear out/spin due to lack of oil from the oil pump. Some tell tale signs: 1. Engine knock on cold starts (pistons are rocking inside the bore until engine warms up) 2. Engine knock on acceleration (piston connecting rod bearings worn or wearing out).
I just saw you at your warehouse like 15 minutes ago lol I was over practicing my wheelies on my green z125 lol I didn't realize your shop was down the street form my house big fan of your channel
Any idea how long you can drive with this P0010 check engine light? Mine came on today, and I’m wondering if I can make it to the weekend without any major damage. Thanks!
My husband has been driving his '08 Sonata daily since buying it in '09. He used it for tons of 300+ mile drives as well. Despite the high mileage, she just keeps going!
Bought a new 2017 Sonata. The car had 230,000 miles on it when I paid it off. It was using maybe 1/2 to 3/4 quart of oil every 3k miles of highway driving. A week after I had the car paid off, it got totaled. A lady driving a giant Toyota land cruiser took the front end. Other than regular maintenance and replacing wear and tear parts and the battery, the car was very dependable.
I like actual car content and showing the repairs. This is what I originally subscribed for. Please don't turn into a click bait channel and keep it coming with the car content! Woohoo!
I’m so glad you posted this. I saw the Elantra video today and hoped you would post a video on a Sonata I happen to have this specific one too. Thank you 🙏
I'm glad someone likes Hyundai. I hope you get to work on a 2nd gen Veloster turbo. Maybe do a dual catch can install or something. I have one and I'd like to see more work done on them from a channel I respect.
14 recalls on my wife's 2011 Sonata...Yeah, we traded it for a Honda Civic. Tired of spending my days off in the Hyundai service department. We were on a first name basis with the service writers!
Same here. Bought a new 2011 Sonata. After 5 years and 72000 miles it was using 1qt of oil every 800 miles. Also had at least 6 recalls, a failed thermostat, and some electrical gremlins the dealer said were "normal". I was also on a first name basis with the dealer service department.
Great video. Your voice is loud, clear and easy to understand. I like the way you explained everything step by step. Keep up the good work and thanks 🙏 a lot for your help in making these well made videos.
I wish I was pleased with my 2015 Sonata Limited as you. Warranty has spent over 10k! Sunroof hell, axles, trim, 78k engine sized up! Now 133k. Things are better lately. Just replaced my struts and it was easy. The interior is holding up very well.
Definitely will have to check out Hyundai. I like my Volvos, and just recently got a 2004 Toyota Matrix as a first car for my youngest daughter to learn on. I replaced the valve cover gasket on the 1.8 Liter engine with over 210,000 miles, and it looked more like it had 20,000 miles on it. It runs beautifully and is really easy to work on. It's my first Toyota and I can see why people like them.
I have a 2016 2.4L sonata, I love it. Alot of people have had engine failure, but most got recall replacement for oil consumption issues. Mine has over 100k miles, I do have to stay on top of my oil level. But it's been a great car for me. I got it super cheap from a family member buying it back from insurance after a wreck.
My mom had a 2015 Sonata 2.0T. Drove like a brand new car up til 88k when it got totaled. Never had the opportunity to work on it because it never really broke. Only did preventative maintenance on it (oil changes, trans fluid, spark plugs, brakes, carbon cleaning etc). Manufacturer warranty covered a radiator fan resistor and a loose steering column. P.S. They had the best A/C of any car too.
My 2015 Sonata had this exact problem. I took it to the dealer where I bought it new (thankfully) and the factory insisted they change the interior seal only. As you can guess, it didn't fix it. The whole assembly with cover needed replaced just as you showed in the video. They did that and the problem was fixed. All done under warranty (there was some kind of a class action lawsuit that basically forces Hyundai to warrant the engines forever to original owners at least) so no cost to me. Yay! But it was very nice to know exactly what needed done before even going to the dealer. THANK YOU!!!
I'm actually on my 3rd Hyundai(2015 Sonata 2.0T with 146K miles) and you can't beat the longevity of these. I'm looking to get at least 200K out of mine before I fully retire it. Great vid!
They have had a ton of issues across their 4cyl line for engine failure; typically main bearings go junking the motors. Our 2.4 went well still under warranty.
Excellent video! Thank you for showing how to do it. I have same code and when i've checked the buletin, i was disappointed that i needed a special tool.. but from what i see in your video, a deep socket will save the day. Thank you.

Glad to hear your thought on Hyundai. My wife had a 17 Ford Explorer Limited we bought new but she didn’t like 2020 Explorer so we looked around and upon my suggestion she decided to trade for a 2020 Palisade Limited. We drove a Cadillac CTS 6 (I think that is proper letters) that listed for $68,000 and dealer said they don’t come off list. Palisade has way more features, better built and $20,000 less money. She absolutely loves her vehicle. Great video and always enjoy watching.
My 2011 Sonata got 200k miles on the dash. Sure I got a free engine 3 yrs ago from the recall but it's been an a awesome car so far, only replaced the fan belt and brakes so far.
Lol no issues after 2013 haha. I have a 2014 and it's always in the garage waiting for me to fix. Harnesses, tie rods, electrical system issues all the time.
I have a 2016 Kia Sorento with the 4cyl without turbo, just like the engine in this car. It has been burning oil now for a few months and I didnt know why. Now I do thank you.
Thanks so much for this informative video. I bought the parts from a local dealer and a few sockets to do this myself. My other dealer gave me a quote for $1700 to fix this! I said you are not getting $1700 from me! Not going back to them for anything.
I actually agree. I have a '16 with 98K (kms) and not a single issue up to now. I have the P0010 and it'll be about a $150 (CDN) fix for this doing it myself, of course.
Only complaint was the 2012 to 2015 sonata. It was always a pain to change the rotors since when you remove the brake caliper the bottom bolt was stuck between the sway bar link and the wheel bearing. You can't just loosen up the rotor you had to remove the sway bar which involved taking of the shock since the shock is in the way of the sway bar. It only takes 30 minutes each side but bit of a hinde sight for the engineers for just 1 12mm bolt.
Hello, like you, I had the same problem on my Sorento GDI 2015 and I tried to replace the cover and gears of the variable timing system, but unfortunately, due to excessive oil penetration and wear at the connection point, I had to replace the cvt, and the cost of repair in my country for this defect is high for the customer. One of my jobs is specialized teaching of car repairs. Your nobles were amazed at my practical and excellent teaching techniques. I enjoyed watching this video.
Very good video. My hobby is put my hands on cars to make repairs, modify their body, etc. I watched your video by curiosity and to learn more about cars. Besides of diagnosis and repair your video shows the results with the corresponding driving test, something that several videos from others omit to do. (car can't be considered as being repaired just by turning it On in front of the camera, the test requires driving the car for a while). One of our cars is a Hyundai and yes indeed, the recent Sonata model is very reliable.
My '09 Sonata has been the most reliable car I've owned. Bought it at 75,000 miles and I've put over 100,000 miles on it, no major repairs other than the exhaust but I live in the salty northeast so that's kind of expected. Engine and transmission run fine, burns a little oil, maybe a pint every 2 months or so but I just keep on top of it. Paint had been starting to chip over the last year and there's been a problematic exhaust leak up at the very front. Trading it in and getting a '22 Sonata N-Line which should be arriving in a couple weeks. Can't wait!
I have a 15 sport2 turbo currently waiting for my car. Unfortunately seized the motor and also changing the 2nd turbo unit. I love the car thankfully it is all covered so far.
I have a 2014 Sonata. I ran my Vin# on the Hyundai web sight and my 2.4 was not effected by any recalls. With 78,000 miles it doesn’t burn any oil. The original owner and I have only ran Full synthetic for the life of the engine. Zero problems. I had a 2004 accent 5 speed and I got 245,000 miles out of it, with only scheduled maintenance. I’m a fan of Hyundais.
We bought a ‘17 Sonata base model for $16,500. We made an offer of $15,500. 😎 It was a “leftover” at the dealership. It had sat on the lot for a year. It had 32 miles on it. It’s a great car. We average 38 mpg on the highway. It’s butter smooth and comfortable. Tons of rear leg room. We now have just over 20k miles on it. 😀
Good luck when you get to 120k. Nothing but a headache from my 2017. It's nice and smooth during the ride, has lots of perks, but is not built for the long haul. I can't get rid of it fast enough.
Very helpful video , I had a 2013 hyundai Elantra Sport , 160,000 miles in white , that came with a 2.0 Litre engine , had good power one of the best cars I ever owned , I miss that car , now have a 2017 Toyota Camary SE good car also , not too bad to work on readily available parts good price I have used TH-cam videos to work on my two vehicles mentioned , I'm very grateful to all of people that post videos that help all of us out here , you have saved thousands of dollars and time , Thank You Very Much LATER GATOR
132,000 on my 2013 Sonata with the exploding engine. So far, minimal repairs (VVT solenoid and cam position sensor). Both very easy and low cost repairs.
I had a 2016 Forte with the 2.0 and it was the same color as this it went through 2 engines in 50k miles got it bought back as lemon law I loved the color though
Silly question but why does the engine give a code for a leaky seal? or is the oil slinging inside the cover preventing the sensor from working correctly? just wondering. Thanks
Loved my 2016 Sonata. The few fixes in the 128kmi were always easy, from a brake fluid reservoir to a mechanical thermostat. Unfortunately its main problem was other drivers crashing into it. Side scrape by a semi, rear ended twice, slid off the road during ice storm, bit the bullet on the 5th accident. Damn Toyota 4Runners!
2007 Elantra 2.0l, power everything. $11,900 in 2008 with 25K miles as a rental car. NO problems with 121,500 miles. Just changed oil and it is completely dry under the car, NOTHING leaks yet. Had dealer oil changes until 2010 and then switched to Mobile 1 full synthetic with STP Extended filters since. The clear coat on top the front and rear bumpers are starting to flake some but everything else is near perfect. I always buy good tires and it handles like a go cart. Not as good as my prior Corvettes but really good for a 4 door. 2007 was the best power to weight ratio version. 137HP, 2800 pounds. 36 mpg on 87 octane and enough room for 4 adults and 4 sets of golf clubs. Trans fluid was changed at 30k and then 100K miles, both times with OEM fluid. It isn't flashy or super fast but it is semi fun the drive and seems to be super reliable. The 2007+ was the better ones as they changed a lot in 2007.
Hey! Thanks for the video. I have a 2016 Sonata 2.4 as well. It only has close to 65k miles though, will it be ok to just replace the plug, or should I replace the cover too?
love your vids , very imformative, i have a 2015 tuscon limited and a 2011 kia optima , both were bought new , have a 120,000 kms on kia and 90,000 kms on tuscon, but the tuscon did break down 2 weeks after warranty finshed, left us stranded without warning was a sensor for timing cant remember what mechanic told me, what is funny about this is that i phoneddealer and the wouldnt pass it on warranty, then 2 weeks later the salesman who sold me the tuscon called and asked how was the vechile i told him what happened, i said i doubt i will be buying another hyundai , but damm i love my optima lx plus, just like the first day i bought it and yes i check the oil regularly
I own a 07 tiburon gt i feel same way about vs my Mitsubishi 3000GT my tiburon is 50x more enjoyable to work on requires 80 times less needed repairs also.. Hyundai, kia are amazing cars
Hi, you did a great job of describing how to clear this code. I followed the steps, I THINK just as you suggested, but the code keeps coming back immediately. I think the wiring and connections are all OK. Do you have any other suggestions on what to do? My codes come back as confirmed, pending AND Permanent, and they come back immediately - maybe at most 3-4 seconds after clearing and starting the engine.
Always said Hyundai/Kia are the best engineered cars out there now, I had a 99 Coupe (Tiburon over there) and everything was so well put together. Also Hyundai don’t have the pomp and image of the Germans. Satisfaction in good design
You got to be joking, the used car market says otherwise, no one wants a kia with 160k miles the price is low but a toyota 160k still costs alot why is that. Cause toyota is the best.
This repair amortized over the current mileage (145,000) cost $0.0006 per mile. Hyundai is king with it comes to TCO and repair 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When did you buy the sonanta what happened to the optima
145,000 is low miles to me.

She absolutely loves her vehicle. Great video and always enjoy watching.
i love cadillacs tho, love the GM engineering and feel of those things, however they are expensive
My 2011 Sonata got 200k miles on the dash. Sure I got a free engine 3 yrs ago from the recall but it's been an a awesome car so far, only replaced the fan belt and brakes so far.
Lol no issues after 2013 haha. I have a 2014 and it's always in the garage waiting for me to fix. Harnesses, tie rods, electrical system issues all the time.
What ended up happening?
And then you'll post at 9:30am lol you have an interesting post scheduled jr!
That Aztec lurking in the background😊
I know! They're one of my favorites!
One of the car dealers here used to have a commercial where they said these were "so not a" Camry. I liked the wordplay.
I own 2015 Camry SE with 140k
The only thing I have done to it spark plugs and oil changes
I have a 2016 Kia Sorento with the 4cyl without turbo, just like the engine in this car. It has been burning oil now for a few months and I didnt know why. Now I do thank you.
Was that the issue?
My kia optima has same problem, I ordered the part and do it tonight. Hope this fix the problem, thanks for your video. I’ll update soon.
I have a 2015 with 47,000 miles and i love it no problems at all
Thanks so much for this informative video. I bought the parts from a local dealer and a few sockets to do this myself. My other dealer gave me a quote for $1700 to fix this! I said you are not getting $1700 from me! Not going back to them for anything.
This is one of the best cars ever made, simple and reliable. Nothing breaks as long as you keep up with maintenance.
You must not have the internet
I have the 15 limited and it’s the biggest POS I’ve ever owned. “One of the best cars ever made”😂🤣
I actually agree. I have a '16 with 98K (kms) and not a single issue up to now. I have the P0010 and it'll be about a $150 (CDN) fix for this doing it myself, of course.
Only complaint was the 2012 to 2015 sonata. It was always a pain to change the rotors since when you remove the brake caliper the bottom bolt was stuck between the sway bar link and the wheel bearing. You can't just loosen up the rotor you had to remove the sway bar which involved taking of the shock since the shock is in the way of the sway bar. It only takes 30 minutes each side but bit of a hinde sight for the engineers for just 1 12mm bolt.
Hello, like you, I had the same problem on my Sorento GDI 2015 and I tried to replace the cover and gears of the variable timing system, but unfortunately, due to excessive oil penetration and wear at the connection point, I had to replace the cvt, and the cost of repair in my country for this defect is high for the customer. One of my jobs is specialized teaching of car repairs. Your nobles were amazed at my practical and excellent teaching techniques. I enjoyed watching this video.
I have a 13 Hyundai Azera with 132,000 mi. everything works, runs smooth and shifts are imperceptible. 3.3 liter GDI VVT engine.
Very good video. My hobby is put my hands on cars to make repairs, modify their body, etc. I watched your video by curiosity and to learn more about cars.
Besides of diagnosis and repair your video shows the results with the corresponding driving test, something that several videos from others omit to do. (car can't be considered as being repaired just by turning it On in front of the camera, the test requires driving the car for a while).
One of our cars is a Hyundai and yes indeed, the recent Sonata model is very reliable.
My mom has a 2016 sport. It has been a great car! No major issues.
My '09 Sonata has been the most reliable car I've owned. Bought it at 75,000 miles and I've put over 100,000 miles on it, no major repairs other than the exhaust but I live in the salty northeast so that's kind of expected. Engine and transmission run fine, burns a little oil, maybe a pint every 2 months or so but I just keep on top of it. Paint had been starting to chip over the last year and there's been a problematic exhaust leak up at the very front. Trading it in and getting a '22 Sonata N-Line which should be arriving in a couple weeks. Can't wait!
My 09 sonata is currently at 150k miles
Dude hell yeah
That's the code I have
I was about to change my camshaft follower..
But now I'm happy I have another solution in case that doesn't work
JR is the only used car Hyundai salesman I trust. No cap
I have a 15 sport2 turbo currently waiting for my car. Unfortunately seized the motor and also changing the 2nd turbo unit. I love the car thankfully it is all covered so far.
I have a 2014 Sonata. I ran my Vin# on the Hyundai web sight and my 2.4 was not effected by any recalls. With 78,000 miles it doesn’t burn any oil. The original owner and I have only ran Full synthetic for the life of the engine. Zero problems. I had a 2004 accent 5 speed and I got 245,000 miles out of it, with only scheduled maintenance. I’m a fan of Hyundais.
I have 196K miles on my 2013 and the only repairs have been a starter, and one window regulator. Not a bad record.
My 2013 elantra is at 172,700 and never ever had a problems minus the brakes and tires and oil changes!
Great work.👍
We bought a ‘17 Sonata base model for $16,500. We made an offer of $15,500. 😎
It was a “leftover” at the dealership. It had sat on the lot for a year. It had 32 miles on it.
It’s a great car. We average 38 mpg on the highway. It’s butter smooth and comfortable. Tons of rear leg room. We now have just over 20k miles on it. 😀
Beautiful
Good luck when you get to 120k.
Nothing but a headache from my 2017. It's nice and smooth during the ride, has lots of perks, but is not built for the long haul.
I can't get rid of it fast enough.
Subtle flex with the Mitutoyo calipers. Shop is running out of room already with the C6, C5, X5, SRT10, Aztec and XTerra all crammed in there!
Very helpful video , I had a 2013 hyundai Elantra Sport , 160,000 miles in white , that came with a 2.0 Litre engine , had good power one of the best
cars I ever owned , I miss that car , now have a 2017 Toyota Camary SE
good car also , not too bad to work on readily available parts good price
I have used TH-cam videos to work on my two vehicles mentioned , I'm
very grateful to all of people that post videos that help all of us out here ,
you have saved thousands of dollars and time ,
Thank You Very Much
LATER GATOR
132,000 on my 2013 Sonata with the exploding engine. So far, minimal repairs (VVT solenoid and cam position sensor). Both very easy and low cost repairs.
Mine literally just threw it. Thx Jr. I'll get to it next nice day after the part comes in.😮
Just a thought, wouldn’t impact sockets be safer than the chrome sockets you’re using on those Mac Daddy Milwaukee impacts?
I had a 2016 Forte with the 2.0 and it was the same color as this it went through 2 engines in 50k miles got it bought back as lemon law I loved the color though
Silly question but why does the engine give a code for a leaky seal? or is the oil slinging inside the cover preventing the sensor from working correctly? just wondering. Thanks
Loved my 2016 Sonata. The few fixes in the 128kmi were always easy, from a brake fluid reservoir to a mechanical thermostat. Unfortunately its main problem was other drivers crashing into it. Side scrape by a semi, rear ended twice, slid off the road during ice storm, bit the bullet on the 5th accident. Damn Toyota 4Runners!
The 2016 sonata is one of the best cars I’ve ever owned tire rotations and oil change 3 new tires since 2018
2007 Elantra 2.0l, power everything. $11,900 in 2008 with 25K miles as a rental car. NO problems with 121,500 miles. Just changed oil and it is completely dry under the car, NOTHING leaks yet. Had dealer oil changes until 2010 and then switched to Mobile 1 full synthetic with STP Extended filters since. The clear coat on top the front and rear bumpers are starting to flake some but everything else is near perfect. I always buy good tires and it handles like a go cart. Not as good as my prior Corvettes but really good for a 4 door. 2007 was the best power to weight ratio version. 137HP, 2800 pounds. 36 mpg on 87 octane and enough room for 4 adults and 4 sets of golf clubs. Trans fluid was changed at 30k and then 100K miles, both times with OEM fluid. It isn't flashy or super fast but it is semi fun the drive and seems to be super reliable. The 2007+ was the better ones as they changed a lot in 2007.
Hey! Thanks for the video. I have a 2016 Sonata 2.4 as well. It only has close to 65k miles though, will it be ok to just replace the plug, or should I replace the cover too?
"You can do this at home!" *proceeds to dismantle the engine mounts*😁
He said you can hold up the engine with a floor jack on the oil pan. Not that hard of a job!
Must you do all of that?
Is is possible to use the old plug?
love your vids , very imformative, i have a 2015 tuscon limited and a 2011 kia optima , both were bought new , have a 120,000 kms on kia and 90,000 kms on tuscon, but the tuscon did break down 2 weeks after warranty finshed, left us stranded without warning was a sensor for timing cant remember what mechanic told me, what is funny about this is that i phoneddealer and the wouldnt pass it on warranty, then 2 weeks later the salesman who sold me the tuscon called and asked how was the vechile i told him what happened, i said i doubt i will be buying another hyundai , but damm i love my optima lx plus, just like the first day i bought it and yes i check the oil regularly
Pontiac Aztek in the background?? Do a video on that!!
I own a 07 tiburon gt i feel same way about vs my Mitsubishi 3000GT my tiburon is 50x more enjoyable to work on requires 80 times less needed repairs also.. Hyundai, kia are amazing cars
My grandmother had a 05 explorer and it didn’t go bad until it hit 365k. She only did oil changes and that’s it
I had a 2009 sonata that had almost 200,000 miles then I got my 2015 and I love it
Do you recommend intalling the plug into the cover before installing the cover? Another comment said rtv outside plug? Thanks for great video.
I have a 2005 sonata with a 2.7l v6 with original engine and transmission with 275,000 miles on it
I have a 2005 Sonata 2.7L with 112000 on it! Original engine and trans too.
280,000 plus Km's few basic repairs no engine or tranny issues, very reliable
Tillman work gloves, I am literally working on a quote for some of those right now.
Tillman 24CL’s best glove a welder can have until it’s time to do some hot stick or dual shield!
This 2015 is also the fully loaded Sonata, so of course it has all the bells and whistles
Good job!
Blue Aztek in the background??? Hmmm I put a supercharged 3800 in my friends one...
Hi, you did a great job of describing how to clear this code. I followed the steps, I THINK just as you suggested, but the code keeps coming back immediately. I think the wiring and connections are all OK. Do you have any other suggestions on what to do? My codes come back as confirmed, pending AND Permanent, and they come back immediately - maybe at most 3-4 seconds after clearing and starting the engine.
Always said Hyundai/Kia are the best engineered cars out there now, I had a 99 Coupe (Tiburon over there) and everything was so well put together. Also Hyundai don’t have the pomp and image of the Germans. Satisfaction in good design
You got to be joking, the used car market says otherwise, no one wants a kia with 160k miles the price is low but a toyota 160k still costs alot why is that. Cause toyota is the best.
Woooah an upload this early in the day?
That definitely seemed to take more than the 15 minutes you promised lol
