Thank you so much, I'm grateful I found your channel, I have a 2017 Accent. Your instruction is totally user friendly and easy to follow. I'm a single mom with minimal mechanic experience so your videos will help me save so much money and take even better care of my car. Much appreciated 🙏✨
Thank you for this. Big help big time! I am a new (lady) driver and as much as possible I want to understand the ins and out of the vehicle (Accent 2017 1.4 GL CVT) and I really made notes as I listen. More of this please. You're helping many. Empowering women as well just in time this Women's Month
You talked about the transmission fluid but didn't show where the plugs are or where the drain is. I needed to know where to add the transmission fluid.
I have a Hyundai accent 2017. I would like to ask for your help with 2 questions: 1) For the AC buttons, I thought I could turn off the AC and mantain the fan working just by clicking the button. But it can only get turned off if I put heating on. Is this normal? 2) The temperature indicates 84 degrees Fahrenheit average and the bar with the stripes its generally below half or exactly half. Is this normal? Cause I was parked today with the AC on and the it increased one stripe above half, after I speed it decreased to below half once again. Thank you once again
Hi Rodrigo, 1) Yes. You should be able to just operate the fan. You don't have to have AC on all the time. You can turn the AC off by pressing on/off the 'AC' Button. If you the AC doesn't switch off that maybe an issue. I can't say more about it without actually looking at the car. 2) I understand you are referring to the coolant temperature. Yes its possible that when you are just idling the car when its hot outside the coolant temperature gauge may increase above half. Once you start driving the coolant gets pumped faster and the air starts blowing and that cools the coolant quickly and thus the coolant temperature gauge drops below half again.
3:35 Do you know the free funnels hack ??? you can use a old windshield washer can , cut the top and use it as funnel its free no more splash on the alternator and wires
Yeah unfortunately you have to. The reservoir and the electric radiator fan are sold as 1 piece. It's a stupid design. I dealt with this issue myself a few months ago. :( A temporary solution is to put a high temperature underwater tape (if you can't find that even good old duct tape could do the trick) to slow down the leak for the moment while you figure how to get the replacement reservoir/fan unit
Would you have any idea why my car is making a squeaking noise when I turn left? I thought it could be the power steering but not sure since there is no power steering fluid. Any advise helps!
@@VirarAutomotiveHi my back wheel also makes squeak noise going round and round when pulling away (driving off). Mechanics looked at and sprayed twice but its still happening. It started after they replaced caliper... Thanks for answering individuals questions.
hello, I have a Hyundai Elantra GT 2019, could you tell me how I check the differential oil of that vehicle, and what type of oil this vehicle uses, thank you .
That sounds like an issue with the power steering system. Best to have it checked by a mechanic. Could be something small like a steering angle sensor or something major like the power steering motor malfunctioning. Can't really tell without looking at it.
If the power steering pump fails, and the light is on, does that mean you have to have the whole thing replaced since there is no fluid? Or is there a way to reset it? Thank you for your video!
If the power steering system fails then its likely cause of the electric power steering motor or the module. Unfortunately yes the way to fix is usually to just replace the part. But then again it could be something small and there is a way to reset it. Unfortunately I cannot say for a fact and it would be best to have the vehicle checked out by a mechanic.
@@VirarAutomotive Thank you so much for your reply! Of course we all hope for an easy fix lol, but we will definitely bring it in to get it checked out. I'm now a subscriber to your channel. You're one of the best that I've seen. And your dedication to help people whom you do not even know, is really great. Have a great day, and thanks again!
Good morning, if I understand correctly, you said: there is only electric power steering for Hyundai accent automatic, for example 2018 in my case. is it right ? Thanks a lot.
Good morning, Yes that is correct. For your 2018 Hyundai Accent Automatic there is a electric power steering system. This system uses an electric motor, no power steering pump and power steering fluid to worry about.
@@VirarAutomotive Thank you for responding quite quickly, By the way, regarding the automatic transmission oil change in my 2018 Hyundai accent automatic, no indication for its change in the vehicle manual, however the mechanics recommend changing it periodically, what do you think of that?
@@medrarrabah7155 Yes, you should change it periodically but if your car has a high mileage and you have never changed it before, then I suggest you just leave it the way it is.
My power steering motor failed slme time after it started making clicking noise and then it failed completely and became stiff to turn and i replaced the motor only. It still makes xlicking noise when i turn the steering. Is it about ti fail again the service center said i also need to replace the steering column which i didnt last time do i need to do that?
The clicking noise is caused by something called the steering column coupler. It's a small black gear shaped piece. It's a common problem on Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
I wonder why when i turn right or left the steering wheel of my hundai accent it will stuck or hard to maneuver what is the mean reason caused this problem.
Informative. Geez I just bought a power steering fluid before watching this video. 🤦🏻♀️ By the way, do you know how to fix a stiff steering wheel? My 2015 Accent makes an odd sound. 🥺
my hyundai accent are 150k millages now should i still use 5w-30 10w-30 or switch to 10-40 because its hot in Philippines i read that pcv valve always cause of oil leak in accent 1.6 is that true?
I would suggest with 5w-30 or 10w-40 as that is what the manufacturer recommends and has designed the engine for. The PCV Valve gets clogged over time and it either has to be cleaned out or replaced with a new one. The replacement is easy and the part is relatively inexpensive. When the PCV valve is blocked, it causes pressure to build up in the oil crankcase and that leads to oil leaks. So I would suggest you get your PCV valve cleaned every 1-2 years.
I just bought a 2016 or well I’m buying it for 13k I noticed the fan running a lot so I checked and sure enough the coolant was low. So I topped it off it seams better but the oil dip stick has a dark brown color at the end of it. I’m just afraid about the head gasket cause my last vehicle had that problem and I’d freak out if this does. Is that a common issue?
I haven’t had a chance to let it cool and see if it gets low again when I drive it yet but I know there’s no leaks cause I was underneath it l for an hour today fixing the bumper
1) Yes definitely wait for the car to cool down and see where the coolant level stands. Overtime (like over a period of a year), the coolant level going down is not uncommon. Coolant fluid itself is not 100% liquid, there is gas trapped inside the liquid that boils up and evaporates over time, micro leaks in the cooling system, etc. 2) If there is a head gasket leak, then yes the coolant level should be going down and when coolant and oil mixes, the mixture looks more like a milkshake. Yellow-brown milkshake. 3) The engine oil color can also be affected cause of moisture condensation. If the car is only driven for short distance regularly, the oil develops a yellowy color due to oxidation. (most visible under the engine oil fill cap). The easiest way to fix this is to take the car for a nice 30 min-1 drive on the highway. That heats up the oil and burns up any moisture in it. Doing so will also give the chance for the cooling system to get nice and hot and circulating and then when the car cools down you can check everything and have a better idea. Hope this helps.
@@VirarAutomotive so the coolant seems to be steady so far but I did the oil change all seemed normal till I went to fill the oil and noticed there was black grunge on the oil cap and inside the port you fill the oil. I got it out with my finger it was all black not milk shake. The oil that came out didn’t have any sign of grunge. I’m hoping just from condensation living with huge temperature swings on the front range.
@@Feedbacker1 That black grunge is very likely just oil sludge buildup over time. Be sure to do your oil changes on time and use good gas and that should help with it gradually. Good luck!
I've a 2010 Hyundai Accent 2 dr hatchback and takes 5w20... synthetic blend oil. That aren't suppose to use regular oil at 5w20. Supposedly not synthetic oil 5w20. Is what a service advisor at a Hyundai dealer said in Allentown, PA.
That's odd as to why not fully synthetic oil either. I have owned this particular car for 7+ years and been putting regular oil in it all this time without any issues.
The transmission fluid drainage is underneath the car. You would need a jack or a lift to be able to get under the car and access it. Same for the fill port for the transmission.
Transmission is sealed. While there is a way to drain and refill the fluid, there is no easy to just check the fluid level. I talk about in the later part of the video

Right, this is the only reason I came to this video.
What ATF does a Hyundai Accent use? Help please
Yes…..I absolutely right, this men didn’t tell where the drain nut is n refill plug. Unbelievable!!!
It’s sealed & has to go to the dealership or your mechanic!! It’s tucked away
You are saving people a lot of time and money! More than money, you are helping people hit the road when they need the most
Thank you for your kind words! Your comment made my day :)
Thank you, great video for someone who know nothing about these subjects. Very easy to understand, simple, detailed instructions, and educational.

Glad I could help!
Same here was confused
Glad I could help!
Do we have to fill up coolent to the Full in coolent overflow (reservoir) tank ??
Yes. You have to fill it up to the FULL mark. Only do so when the engine is cold.
@@VirarAutomotive sure thank you. Very nice video tutorials.

I have a hole in my coolant reservoir jug. Do I really have to replace the jug and the fan in order to fix the problem ?
Yeah unfortunately you have to. The reservoir and the electric radiator fan are sold as 1 piece. It's a stupid design. I dealt with this issue myself a few months ago. :(
A temporary solution is to put a high temperature underwater tape (if you can't find that even good old duct tape could do the trick) to slow down the leak for the moment while you figure how to get the replacement reservoir/fan unit
I just discovered it’s the top in which you screw on that has broken completely off. So I’m assuming the tape wouldn’t help lol🤦🏾♀️
Would you have any idea why my car is making a squeaking noise when I turn left? I thought it could be the power steering but not sure since there is no power steering fluid. Any advise helps!
It could be a multitude of reasons. But likely it's a suspension issue. I would get it checked out by a mechanic

That sounds like an issue with the power steering system. Best to have it checked by a mechanic. Could be something small like a steering angle sensor or something major like the power steering motor malfunctioning. Can't really tell without looking at it.

No steering fluid as this vehicle has a electric power steering system. Thus no power steering pump or power steering fluid to worry about.

Where is the transmission fluid dip stick?
No transmission dip stick?
Streeing oil location?
No need for steering oil as this car has an electric power steering and not an hydraulic one, so no power steering fluid/oil to worry about.
