I'm having an anxiety attack looking at that loose crap right next to the intake port! Please vacuum it out or put clean rags in the ports so nothing falls in. That's a nice looking steering wheel. It's a good looking car!
I had the same issue with my 2015 hyundai genesis sedan with the 3.8. I was able to get it changed out in my driveway for around $100 and have put around 40k on the new sensor with no issues. Its a very daunting job but when you really get into it, its more simple than it looks. The hardest part is finding info online about these engines if you dont have good access to shop manuals. I fought so hard against fuel rails going slow but i didnt break anything. Thank you sam for covering this job, this would have been a game changer when i was doing mine!
Glad to see your comment, I have a 2016 3.8 Genesis coupe and was wondering the G80’s 3.8 had the same problem. Wonder if the 5.0 has the same issue, want to trade my genny for one.
We've all experienced the moment of "This shouldn't be too bad, it looks like a Honda" to sobbing under the hood mumbling "This is most definitely not a Honda"
@@davemiller262 Elantras are way easier, the first car I worked on was an 09 elantra, then I worked on a an acura ilx, way harder and less space even changing the low beams was a nightmare on that car.
Sam, I waited to be the first owner of a 2017 G90 5.0. I loved it as it had every option imaginable standard in the ultimate trim. I bought this after my first Genesis experience. It was 2015 Hyundai Genesis with the V8 as well. It was the predecessor to what is the G80 when the Genesis brand was launched. It was a fast and more sporty car than I could have imagined. Loved both vehicles as highway miles were effortless joy. I never had one issues with either other than a recall or two on the 2015.
My wife drives a 2020 G80 3.8 with the sport package. We like the car more now than when we bought it. Highway miles are low effort with a comfortable seat and quiet ride. Twisty back roads are low effort with the car's good handling.
@@naailableI have a 2013 3.8 Track, it just turned 80K miles but drive it rarely, MPG is pretty good unless I’m mountain-running (my best (or worst, however you look at it) was 9.9 MPG on a 100 mile trek through the mountains). I had a 2017 G80 3.8 AWD as a daily but sold it in 2022 and got a GV80 Prestige Signature, 3.5TT with the OEM matte paint.
My parents have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. Coming from a toyota family, this was a divergence, but due to covid, we needed something and the genesis didn't disappoint. It's quiet, luxurious, and has been reliable over the couple years they've had it. The only issue, which we knew when we bought the car, was a slight amount of oil consumption, but with 140k miles, I'm not surprised. It's so little that we add oil maybe every 6 months, and by then, we are coming up on an oil change anyways, so not a big deal. Their car has the 3.8L V6, non-turbo. It's a great value luxury car and used seem to be holding up mechanically.
I have a 2019 G90 3.3 that I bought a few years ago with 13k miles. I’ve put another 13k miles on it the past 2 years and the car has been a dream. No problems at all, just required maintenance. I would highly suggest ppl take a good look at the Genesis brand before spending $15-20k more on a BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Lexus.
Just picked up a 15 Genesis 5.0 Ultimate. 1 owner with 52k miles. It's an amazing value given how much car you get and the best part is the drive excellent. I can only imagine what the G90 drives like.
@@dxviddc Just bought it haha and loving every moment of it. Even though the car is quiet I will line the trunk floor and lid with insulation and add extra sound deadening foam underneath the rear seat bench.
I have the 2018 year model and I absolutely love it. I just hope I don't have this oil pressure issue because the AC in the car is pretty bad. Turning off the ac and rolling down the windows for a minute and turning it back on brings it back to life, but I rather genesis fix this.
I have a 2019 Kia Stinger and had the same issue @ 150,000km last year. The shop only charged me $1100 CDN to do it and I also had the intake valves walnut blasted aswell. For the mileage it didn’t have too much carbon build up. My car now has 175,000km and no issues since.
My '86 Integra had the same issue: engine running fine, oil light came on. I pulled the sensor and replaced it with a VDO pressure gauge, built a custom spot for it in my center console. So much easier having a gauge instead of an idiot light.
Hi Sam, Nice to see you do the G90 repair. As Iam in the land down under and a tow truck driver. The Genesis has great reliability across its range. I was delivering new cars to the owners and picking up the trade-in's. Audi's, Land Rovers, BMW and Mercedes Benz. I was told by new owner reliability was the big buying point and some different tech in the cars. And every man and his dog have a european car. One client traded a S500 on a G80 2 weeks later I was delivering a GV70 for his wife and traded a Range Rover Evoke.
Hi Sam, I have a 2014 Hyundai Equus Ultimate that I bought 6 years ago (one owner clean carfax) w/65,000 miles on it. I currently have a tick over 150,000 miles. In my time of ownership I’ve had to replace the air suspension. I used refurbished OEM parts to do so, which made it a FAR less expensive job. I’ve had no other issues. While the quality of some of the interior materials are not of the same quality as the Mercedes’ and Audis I’ve had previously, it has certainly been less expensive to maintain and more reliable. I plan on keeping this vehicle another 4 years. Based on this experience so far, I’ll most likely replace it with a ‘25 or ‘26 Genesis G90 at that time.
Lol I used a mini hand vac to clean it all out before it went back together. I even think I have video footage of it somewhere maybe I'll use it for a short
Sam, I have the same car. 2017 G90. I used to shop at a Trader Joe's up in Bellevue Washington and there was an older woman who drove a Bentley Flying Spur, and I used to park my G90 next to it. Visually, there are TONS of similarities between the 2. So your comparison to the Bentayga isn't out of line.
Hi, Sam , a long time viewer from Iraq 🇮🇶 a really good enjoyable video , and nice flow of information and diagnosis , that intake and valves would’ve really benefited from a good cleaning , since it’s a gdi induction system . thanks again
I have a 2016 Genesis Coupe with the 3.8L. Same exact issue started around 60k miles. Have been driving it this way for 2 years lol. Not going to worry about it till it's time to sell. Awesome explanation and teardown video!
A Engine Oil Flush is a thing to try before replacing oil pressure switches occasionally debris or carbon particles cause a issue which need to be flushed out. Yes it may seem like a BS thing to do but it works on many vehicles and a engine flush never hurts and cleans the engive internally before a tear down.
Cleaning engine will remove oil from those places you don't wanna to be without oil,when oil pressure sensor starts to act pull it out throw it in the trash and put new one and you are safe and done.in this case is obvious that sensor is done and oil goes through it even connector is full of oil no oil flush will help.friend has vw golf 4 and his sensor was gone the way when he starts engine oil goes through it like it was hose,we changed it and it is all good
@@BillGates_Alex if you changed your oil then you either need to wait until next oil change so you don't waste the oil. Or you do a quicker oil change than regular and flush the new oil out but more cost out of your pocket ? Recommend put 2000 or 3000 miles on the oil and add them do a quick oil change and flush
I'm always amazed at what Sam will tackle. With all the wire/hose connections, taking apart a modern car seems like a nightmare. ALWAYS look forward to your videos!
I have a 2019 G70 with the same engine as that car. It is an enjoyable car with a great fit and finish. I would totally recommend it. I have 38k miles and 3 recalls the dealer fixed for free, but no mechanical issues. The one downside is it is a run-flat tire car, so you are stuck with crappy tires.
Interesting. Mine came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires and a real spare - ask me how I know 😖. A couple of fit and finish items covered under warranty and still running great after 4 years when I traded it for a GV70.
I was keen on replacing my aging GS460 with a Stinger GT - but after seeing the engine apart - now not so keen... all that plastic for parts that should be aluminum and then they stuff it with foam that will start to break down after a few years... and that oil pressure switch - back in the day I had a couple of V6 Mazda's and they both also had oil pressure switches prone to leaking just like this... but the pressure switch was on the side of the block and took about 5 minutes to replace. Unfortunately, the engine design on this appears to have been done with zero thought to longevity or maintenance. Seriously, compared to the V8 in my Lexus - this looks like total trash.
You can put whatever tires you want on the car. Saying "it's a run-flat tire car" is simply ridiculous. That's not a thing. You can put whatever tires you want on it. Something better performing than what came on it, if that's what you want.
Those 3.3t engines are really solid. The only failure when pushing power are the head studs stretching because hyundai/kia used the same ones from the non turbo 3.3 engine. With arp studs and upgraded gasket these engines can easily push 800+ hp. Also, even with the head studs stretched they still run fine. My friend has a 23 stinger that has been fbo e85 since pretty much day 1 and besides a bad tune melting an injector and lifted heads its still gapping hellcats.
Sam, this is by far my favorite channel. I’ve been following you since your Fiesta ST forum posts. Please give us some more content! A month is too long to wait!
Hello, Sam from Ireland again bro. Wow I didn't think you would find that Sensor, lol. Beautiful Interior, Sam. And it's driving perfectly. Great video again Sam. $12,800 is a great Deal. 🙏🙏💯👏👏👏👏
@@Samcrac Reminded me a bit of Hoovie's popular video where he bought the Mercedes S600 with a blown engine on the cheap, replaced the engine for something less than $10,000 incl labor and fixing almost all the other issues. (He said he always leaves one issue un-fixed to appease the automobile gods.) Anyway, great video. These are the type I like seeing the most, although watching you struggle with fixing that Ferreri several years ago was great to watch, but also feeling sympathetic to your frustration.)
The guy who owned the ABC supply shop down in Fort Myers had a Genesis and I had a ride in the back of it with him one day after a job.. that was probably one of the nicest newer cars I'd ever been in at that point in my life. It was SO premium - in the BACK, the front was even nicer. It was super luxurious. It was an older model though, I think the first gen, but it was a wonderful ride and the owner of the car adored it, he spoke VERY highly of it.
Finally, one of my favorite channels brings the Genesis! Long time subscriber and Genesis owner, and I have often wondered why more channels haven't looked at this line. Whether as a rebuild or otherwise. While I have not experienced any issues with oil pressure with my model year, this was very helpful information should this be something that pops up out of nowhere. As always, excellent content and I look forward to new and exciting videos from you in the future!
Never use the open end side of a wrench when you can put the closed side on the nut/bolt. The risk is much great of the wrench slipping off, or rounding out the nut/bolt. Love the channel.
As he was working with the closed sides wrench I was thinking back to the commercials with closed end wrenches that ratcheted. Are they still around and are they any good?
@@greatpix Ratcheted closed end wrenches are very much still a think. Like anything else, you can get good ones and bad ones. It would not have helped here, they are even bigger than the wrench before he "shaved" it.
Not a long-term review, but we just picked up our first Genesis and Electric Car in the form of a lightly used 2024 Electrified GV70, and the fit and finish of the car is wonderful. We absolutely love the interior, the screens, the technology, and the fact that unlike many electric cars, you don't feel like you're driving in an iPad. The exterior finish is also among the best I've personally experienced on a mass-produced car.
Yes, this is a common problem with the 3.8l v6, the oil pressure sensor acts up exactly as you describe. I have an '16 Genesis and my behaved exactly as you describe. The Genesis forums have loads of comments describing this problem. Cheap part but extremely difficult to get to. You must dismantle 1/2 the engine to reach it. A lot of labor. Mine began acting up at 60K, drove it for a year like that, and just got it fixed this past summer. Otherwise the Genesis is a dream car, fast, reliable, quiet, comfy, and plush.
Well, done. I have numerous hand tools that are "modified" for certain applications. Ground down or heated and bent and they stay in their own spots in by rollaway toolbox. I always take a few pictures before tackling any intensive teardowns. The 3.3 V6 is a great motor, I had one in a 2006 Sonata and I traded with 255K miles on my current 2014 Genesis 3.8 V6 that has 223,500 miles on it...great car.
My 2019 stinger gt2 just started doing this the other day. Only 55k miles. This video put a lot of my anxiety to rest about driving it for the next few days until my apt at the dealership.
I have a 2016 Hyundia Genesis with over 300,000 miles. My oil pressure light comes on at stop lights as well. But she's still going strong. I've got other mechanical and electric related issues to confront, but drive-wise, my ride is enjoyable.
Love to see you have started working out. Look forward to you being in your step mothers shape in a few years then. She was always one of the most fit in that scene. You should ask her for some pointers.
For a tech that works for Genesis I always recommend to change out the pin tail of that sensor due to oil going in and having failure after , and for the tool yes I do recommend to get a key grind it from the side and make the middle of the tool shorter that will give you the room between the coolant tube in the middle
Especially since this car was still sold/serviced in Hyundai dealerships before Genesis opened their own showrooms. However, there's a chance they knew about the sender switch, but labor would've likely been too expensive on top of the potential risk of breaking injectors like what Sam just did.
@@SamcracThey never do. Over here in the UK they just flog perfect cars. I traded in a 2009 Audi A3 Black edition in 2018, it mint and they just scrapped it. And they gave me 7.5k for it.
My cousin owned an older genesis, not sure the model but think it was between 2012-2014 sedan. She bought it cheap drove it for several years and just this year bought a newer genesis to replace it with. She said the one she replaced had just under 300k and never had a single issue with it. I was in the same train of thought on the budget luxury car but after talking to her I’m seriously considering one for my next daily driver.
When accessing components requires you to break a factory seal like that platcis intake runner a MANDATORY replacement of all the o- ring gaskets is necessary . Because of the heat generated between the cylinders and thermo expansion and contraction will deform the gasket causing leaks.
My parents owned a Genesis before the branding and currently own a Tucson. They are fun cars the genesis was very nice to drive, very sporty and good handling on mountain highways/roads. The one thing though its not a car I would expect to hit 100k miles without many trips to dealership under and out of warranty. Mostly non-mechanical stuff and more cosmetic/tech/functionality things. Which shows in resale value. The dealership support is pretty good for those types of things but I would definitely get the new Lexus to minimize dealership adventures and hold that resale value.
This is why I love my 2003 GMC Envoy! I had this same issue with the oil pressure light when stopping in traffic but luckily mine is easily accessible from under the vehicle in plain view just above the oil filter with no real obstacles! And now having over 287,000 miles I need to replace my power steering pump. Nice G90👍😜
What a score - I am interested in the 90 series - only because I like the big sedans like the Lexus 430/460/500 - and the interiors on these 90's appear to be great - so glad you ran through your experience with this car and what a score for you Sam - wow -
In reading some of these comments, Therealbill45 has 300,000 miles on his 2016 Genesis. Me personally, I reached 145,000 miles on my 2015 Genesis 5.0 and then decided to upgrade to the 2018 G80 5.0 AWD. My 2015 Genesis was still running strong when I turned it in.
I fixed mine for free, Sam. I found out that this happens a lot because the sensors are junk. So I ignored the warning light. Still driving it. 2015 V6 H4.
We have a G80 with the 3.8 V6 and 150K and thing has been rock solid. Has been an amazing car. I would only complain that the seat leather is kinda cheap and will wear out quickly and less commonly touched trim pieces are super cheap.
That is one hell of a deal Sam, maybe the deal of the year. I wish I could do things like this, I would not buy some of the cars you do because I could not afford them or the repairs on them, but buying and fixing up like Honda's or just cars under $10K would be a cool thing. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the Genesis
Lol I used a mini hand vac to clean it all out before it went back together. I even think I have video footage of it somewhere maybe I'll use it for a short
@@SamcracThere's absolutely no guarantee you got all of it out Sammy boy. Let's be honest about that for a second. Nice fine grit making it's way down the bores!
WAHOO! Finally a story with a truly HAPPY ENDING! Genesis is a GORGEOUS car, and better than most people think. Glad you didn't get screwed on the repair by the dealership. They are currently building an enormous new Genesis showroom in Milford, Connecticut instead of selling them through the local Hyundai dealer. They actually tore down the former Howard Johnson's restaurant and hotel to make room. It's going to be pretty spectacular! 👍😄
The secret to life is just to move a little more then your normal self. Even when you get on age, just keep them legs and hands moving the better you will feel and the more energetic your life will be.
I have a 2019 G70 3.3T. Same engine as this vehicle. They must have fixed this part in later iterations as I've never heard anyone complain of this issue in the forums! There are minor issues, like any car; but, overall, they're great cars and (as you said) you get a LOT of car for the money. I love it and I hope to keep mine for years to come!
Sam, is there a reason you could not spray some foam cleaner first then use your pressure washer on that engine and then take it apart? Drives me crazy to see someone work on a dirty engine when it is a 15 minute wash.
The Wizard is bad for that too. Almost every engine bay in Kansas has mandatory filth. It must be part of the dealer PDI to contaminate them before customer delivery.
When you remove the hard fuel lines on a high pressure pump, you're supposed to change the lines. They're one time use because they form themselves to the fittings. They're usually expensive.
My wife's 2017 Santa Fe with the 3.3 l engine had the same issue. The sender unit not only failed and showed the oil pressure light, but also was allowing oil to leak into the valley which was the larger problem. I replaced the sender, and while it was in there replaced all the gaskets, the plugs and coils since she was at about 100,000 mi. Total cost was about $400 for the entire thing and a couple hours of my time. Really not a bad job.
Such a daft placement - Mazda V6's back in the 90's had the same issue - the switch would fail internally letting oil seep into the connector - I had 2 of them, a Presso Eunos, and an MS8 - both had the same problem at around the same mileage - but Mazda weren't stupid and put the switch on the side of the block - 5-10 minute job to replace it and a few dollars for the switch itself. Hyundai seem to have given zero f*ck* about making common failure points easily repairable with this engine.
@@Beer_Dad1975 Sam did point out a couple design placements that made repairs very easy. I think it's true of any complicated bit of gear that you can't make everything easy to get to repair. I am surprised that Hyundai/Kia didn't make some changes after the problem started occurring regularly. Routing some lines or extending the lines to the sensor and placing it higher on the engine.
@@greatpix Agree the extra room in the front of the engine bay is nice - but that is only there because they also fit a V8 to the same chassis. I'm sorry, but putting a plastic switch that endures a lot of heat and pressure where it is put - there is zero consideration to failure points in the design of the engine - you could excuse it a bit if the switch was put on the side of the block, and then the engine was put in a car where the side of the block is not very accessible - but in this case, it doesn't matter what car the engine is fitted to, a reasonably likely point of failure has been placed in a very bad place. it's at best ignorant, at worst, malicious. Good to know they at least addressed it in later models - that perhaps reduces it to ignorance. Just for background, I'm a software engineer, and have been my whole career - but do have an engineering degree from 30 years ago, so remember being taught about considering serviceability in mechanical engineering design - and this would have failed back in my day, IMO.
Hey Sam, they make sockets specifically for this. I learned this last week when I picked up a truck with 0 oil pressure for $800 from a guy who wanted it gone. He was mad when I got it started with oil pressure and drove it out of his yard.
@@Samcrac Lisle 13250 is the one that I got. Its for GMs but it worked on the Dodge I worked on. They have slightly different lengths to them internally to match the length of the oil pressure switch depth.
Yeah it’s a great deal until you search 2017 genesis G90 and see there are 3 recalls for them ,all of which are related to engine compartment fires and is under the global Hyundai/kia park outdoors notice . 1) left trubo oil feed pipe is known to deteriorate leaking oil onto the engine/exhaust manifold resulting in fire while driving or after being parked 2) Starter solenoid is defective and water may leak into the solenoid causing a short which could result in fire while driving or while it’s parked 3) loose seals on both turbo feed lines resulting in oil leaking into the engine or manifold which could cause a fire while driving or parked . Finally if it has the same ABS module as the Kia Stinger or the Genesis G70 there is a recall for that because it also can leak and short out causing a fire in the wheel well while driving or parked . Don’t take my word for it , a simple google search can show you the same information.
The 3.3tt motors in these are pretty reliable when taken care of , my 2018 stinger gt is fbo and tuned on lap 3 and I just hit 133k miles with no issues just oil changes every 4k and spark plugs every 20k miles haven’t skipped a beat .
Those Genesis do look sharp. I remember Tyler Hoover purchased an Hyundai Equus and compare its features to his Maybach. The Korean engineers really have done their homework.
Pity that the engine looks to be a consumable item - I was keen on a Stinger GT to replace my old GS460 - but the Kia/Hyundai V6 turbo looks like it's designed to fall apart after 10 years with all that plastic and foam - and I like to keep my cars for a long time, and be able to sell them on knowing the next owner will get some good use out of them.
Had the same problem with my old Jeep, oil pressure gauge would go to zero when it was warm even though the engine sounded great. Found it had a crappy aftermarket sender that fell apart the minute I touched it. With OEM sender the gauge has never been below 25-30psi 👍
Again a real nice fix!! But what I can never understand is: why you do not clean anything before taking off an intake manifold or fuel rai. Just a simple brake cleaner spray and shop air(or even a small 12V air blower) will get rid of all that dust, dirt and debris that might either fall down an intake port or down an injector port, blocking that or causing cylinder/valve damage. Just a couple of seconds/minutes to do so, but might save your engine
Thanks for this video, Samcrac. I've been considering one of these generation G90's for a little while now. While the newer G90 is nicer, there are some really great deals to be had on this generation.
Being an owner of a 2018 Stinger GT, I can say changing those spark plugs actually is not too bad with a few wobble extensions and ball swivels you can get to number 5 without too much fuss.
Hmm, that oil travelling through the connector will probably travel further up the cable and can cause more issues in the future. Worst case: damage to the control unit. Needs to be checked and possibly replaced.
I had a 2013 genesis 3.8! The most reliable car I’ve ever had! It was fast, changed my perspective on Hyundai, will definitely get a genesis in later future time!:)
15/16 are much cheaper. Grind the shank of wrench on either side of boxed end and it will be less aggravating. The diaphragm cracks or loses seal and the connector is sealed. Now there is pressure above diaphragm. That offsets the switch opening pressure higher and warm oilnidle pressure is 15-18 psi and switch needs 20 instead of 8 psi designed.
I'm having an anxiety attack looking at that loose crap right next to the intake port! Please vacuum it out or put clean rags in the ports so nothing falls in. That's a nice looking steering wheel.
It's a good looking car!
I cringed when I saw that.
I saw a bunch of crap fall in and was getting a little anxious too.
Agreed. All that gritty grit gritting up all those pristine parts and gaskets.
amateur
THE PISTONS IN THAT BANK GOING TO HAVE AN OIL BURNING PROBLEM VERY SOON.. I SAW THAT TOO.. I'D BLOW DUST EVEN BEFORE PULLING THE AIR FILTER OUT.
I had the same issue with my 2015 hyundai genesis sedan with the 3.8. I was able to get it changed out in my driveway for around $100 and have put around 40k on the new sensor with no issues. Its a very daunting job but when you really get into it, its more simple than it looks. The hardest part is finding info online about these engines if you dont have good access to shop manuals. I fought so hard against fuel rails going slow but i didnt break anything. Thank you sam for covering this job, this would have been a game changer when i was doing mine!

I have a 10 year old Genesis, that just needed its first repair. Luckily, it was still under warranty, so the $800 job, didn't cost me a penny.
Thanks for the shout out Samcrac!
Your are both great

@@phostings That sounds like a separate issue. The AC system needs to be looked at.
I have a 2019 Kia Stinger and had the same issue @ 150,000km last year. The shop only charged me $1100 CDN to do it and I also had the intake valves walnut blasted aswell. For the mileage it didn’t have too much carbon build up. My car now has 175,000km and no issues since.
glad i didnt buy one of those pos. They will never get the engines right
@@alexguolo5872 Far from a POS dude.
Also have a 2019 stinger. My oil light started coming on 3days ago. Still under warranty. I’ve been hella stressed out seeing that light tho
My '86 Integra had the same issue: engine running fine, oil light came on. I pulled the sensor and replaced it with a VDO pressure gauge, built a custom spot for it in my center console. So much easier having a gauge instead of an idiot light.
Hi Sam, Nice to see you do the G90 repair. As Iam in the land down under and a tow truck driver. The Genesis has great reliability across its range. I was delivering new cars to the owners and picking up the trade-in's. Audi's, Land Rovers, BMW and Mercedes Benz. I was told by new owner reliability was the big buying point and some different tech in the cars. And every man and his dog have a european car. One client traded a S500 on a G80 2 weeks later I was delivering a GV70 for his wife and traded a Range Rover Evoke.
Great comment ! G'day !
Perfect situation for- This is why mechanics despise some engineers. They could have put that sensor anywhere else but there. Seriously. Good job Sam.
Hi Sam,
I have a 2014 Hyundai Equus Ultimate that I bought 6 years ago (one owner clean carfax) w/65,000 miles on it. I currently have a tick over 150,000 miles. In my time of ownership I’ve had to replace the air suspension. I used refurbished OEM parts to do so, which made it a FAR less expensive job. I’ve had no other issues. While the quality of some of the interior materials are not of the same quality as the Mercedes’ and Audis I’ve had previously, it has certainly been less expensive to maintain and more reliable. I plan on keeping this vehicle another 4 years. Based on this experience so far, I’ll most likely replace it with a ‘25 or ‘26 Genesis G90 at that time.
I hope you cleaned out all that dust that went down the intake when you took it apart. Other than that, nice job…
lol i seen that too.
I cringed when i saw it pour in there. A few paper towels a vacuum and air gun would have quickly cleaned it off
I was there he Clean everything
oh no the car blew up
Lol I used a mini hand vac to clean it all out before it went back together. I even think I have video footage of it somewhere maybe I'll use it for a short
Sam, I have the same car. 2017 G90. I used to shop at a Trader Joe's up in Bellevue Washington and there was an older woman who drove a Bentley Flying Spur, and I used to park my G90 next to it. Visually, there are TONS of similarities between the 2. So your comparison to the Bentayga isn't out of line.
A lady driving a bentley was shopping at trader Joe's?!😂
The OG one on Northeast 24th and Bel Red Road, or downtown Bellevue by the old Auto Row?
@@charless2684 She can afford the Bentley because she saves money buying groceries at Trader Joe's

Hi, Sam , a long time viewer from Iraq 🇮🇶
a really good enjoyable video , and nice flow of information and diagnosis , that intake and valves would’ve really benefited from a good cleaning , since it’s a gdi induction system . thanks again
I have a 2016 Genesis Coupe with the 3.8L. Same exact issue started around 60k miles. Have been driving it this way for 2 years lol. Not going to worry about it till it's time to sell. Awesome explanation and teardown video!
A Engine Oil Flush is a thing to try before replacing oil pressure switches occasionally debris or carbon particles cause a issue which need to be flushed out. Yes it may seem like a BS thing to do but it works on many vehicles and a engine flush never hurts and cleans the engive internally before a tear down.
I agree, but I'm glad we swapped this, because clearly an internal seal failed in it judging by the oil inside the connector
Cleaning engine will remove oil from those places you don't wanna to be without oil,when oil pressure sensor starts to act pull it out throw it in the trash and put new one and you are safe and done.in this case is obvious that sensor is done and oil goes through it even connector is full of oil no oil flush will help.friend has vw golf 4 and his sensor was gone the way when he starts engine oil goes through it like it was hose,we changed it and it is all good
@@Samcrac yes good call but try the flush first to see if it cleans the senor is a possible fix but never know if the seals without visual
How do you do a flush after an oil change?
@@BillGates_Alex if you changed your oil then you either need to wait until next oil change so you don't waste the oil. Or you do a quicker oil change than regular and flush the new oil out but more cost out of your pocket ?
Recommend put 2000 or 3000 miles on the oil and add them do a quick oil change and flush
I had 2017 G90 3.3tt awd. This car is so underrated and under appreciated. Amazing car.
7:45 Picks up the foam and dumps dirt and dust directly into the intake manifold. 😂
exactly, and then working on engine with intake ports open ... terrible
That foam looks like it was put there specifically for this purpose.
It hurt to watch this.
that’s what the smoke is for man the engine took care of it🤣
I'm always amazed at what Sam will tackle. With all the wire/hose connections, taking apart a modern car seems like a nightmare.
ALWAYS look forward to your videos!
I have a 2019 G70 with the same engine as that car. It is an enjoyable car with a great fit and finish. I would totally recommend it. I have 38k miles and 3 recalls the dealer fixed for free, but no mechanical issues. The one downside is it is a run-flat tire car, so you are stuck with crappy tires.
Interesting. Mine came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires and a real spare - ask me how I know 😖. A couple of fit and finish items covered under warranty and still running great after 4 years when I traded it for a GV70.
My 2019 G70 came with a spare tire.
who says you cant use non-runflat tires?
I was keen on replacing my aging GS460 with a Stinger GT - but after seeing the engine apart - now not so keen... all that plastic for parts that should be aluminum and then they stuff it with foam that will start to break down after a few years... and that oil pressure switch - back in the day I had a couple of V6 Mazda's and they both also had oil pressure switches prone to leaking just like this... but the pressure switch was on the side of the block and took about 5 minutes to replace. Unfortunately, the engine design on this appears to have been done with zero thought to longevity or maintenance. Seriously, compared to the V8 in my Lexus - this looks like total trash.
You can put whatever tires you want on the car.
Saying "it's a run-flat tire car" is simply ridiculous. That's not a thing. You can put whatever tires you want on it. Something better performing than what came on it, if that's what you want.
Those 3.3t engines are really solid. The only failure when pushing power are the head studs stretching because hyundai/kia used the same ones from the non turbo 3.3 engine. With arp studs and upgraded gasket these engines can easily push 800+ hp. Also, even with the head studs stretched they still run fine. My friend has a 23 stinger that has been fbo e85 since pretty much day 1 and besides a bad tune melting an injector and lifted heads its still gapping hellcats.
Sam, this is by far my favorite channel. I’ve been following you since your Fiesta ST forum posts. Please give us some more content! A month is too long to wait!
Thanks! Will do!
I’ve had two Genesis and they are fantastic cars. Never had any major problems with them. That’s a beautiful car. I wish I was closer.
Hello, Sam from Ireland again bro. Wow I didn't think you would find that Sensor, lol. Beautiful Interior, Sam. And it's driving perfectly. Great video again Sam. $12,800 is a great Deal. 🙏🙏💯👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
@@Samcrac Reminded me a bit of Hoovie's popular video where he bought the Mercedes S600 with a blown engine on the cheap, replaced the engine for something less than $10,000 incl labor and fixing almost all the other issues. (He said he always leaves one issue un-fixed to appease the automobile gods.) Anyway, great video. These are the type I like seeing the most, although watching you struggle with fixing that Ferreri several years ago was great to watch, but also feeling sympathetic to your frustration.)
The guy who owned the ABC supply shop down in Fort Myers had a Genesis and I had a ride in the back of it with him one day after a job.. that was probably one of the nicest newer cars I'd ever been in at that point in my life. It was SO premium - in the BACK, the front was even nicer. It was super luxurious. It was an older model though, I think the first gen, but it was a wonderful ride and the owner of the car adored it, he spoke VERY highly of it.
Always nice to see your video's Sam. Keep up the good work and keep doing things you enjoy.
Finally, one of my favorite channels brings the Genesis! Long time subscriber and Genesis owner, and I have often wondered why more channels haven't looked at this line. Whether as a rebuild or otherwise. While I have not experienced any issues with oil pressure with my model year, this was very helpful information should this be something that pops up out of nowhere. As always, excellent content and I look forward to new and exciting videos from you in the future!
Never use the open end side of a wrench when you can put the closed side on the nut/bolt. The risk is much great of the wrench slipping off, or rounding out the nut/bolt. Love the channel.
That would be true only if the fastener is very tight and rusted, in every other scenario you can't round it off with open side
As he was working with the closed sides wrench I was thinking back to the commercials with closed end wrenches that ratcheted. Are they still around and are they any good?
@@greatpix Ratcheted closed end wrenches are very much still a think. Like anything else, you can get good ones and bad ones. It would not have helped here, they are even bigger than the wrench before he "shaved" it.
Not a long-term review, but we just picked up our first Genesis and Electric Car in the form of a lightly used 2024 Electrified GV70, and the fit and finish of the car is wonderful. We absolutely love the interior, the screens, the technology, and the fact that unlike many electric cars, you don't feel like you're driving in an iPad. The exterior finish is also among the best I've personally experienced on a mass-produced car.
I'm more impressed that a Florida farmer has ice hockey pucks.
Yes, this is a common problem with the 3.8l v6, the oil pressure sensor acts up exactly as you describe. I have an '16 Genesis and my behaved exactly as you describe. The Genesis forums have loads of comments describing this problem. Cheap part but extremely difficult to get to. You must dismantle 1/2 the engine to reach it. A lot of labor. Mine began acting up at 60K, drove it for a year like that, and just got it fixed this past summer. Otherwise the Genesis is a dream car, fast, reliable, quiet, comfy, and plush.
Now that’s a cheap luxury car! Great job Sam!
Well, done. I have numerous hand tools that are "modified" for certain applications. Ground down or heated and bent and they stay in their own spots in by rollaway toolbox. I always take a few pictures before tackling any intensive teardowns. The 3.3 V6 is a great motor, I had one in a 2006 Sonata and I traded with 255K miles on my current 2014 Genesis 3.8 V6 that has 223,500 miles on it...great car.
Sam, your workout faces are awesome!
I had 3 Genesis cars, now in a Tesla 3, but the Genesis was the best built car - an amazing value for performance and quality.
Enjoyed every min of this vid! You did great!
My 2019 stinger gt2 just started doing this the other day. Only 55k miles. This video put a lot of my anxiety to rest about driving it for the next few days until my apt at the dealership.
I just checked this morning to see if I've missed a video. Thanks Sam😅
I have a 2016 Hyundia Genesis with over 300,000 miles. My oil pressure light comes on at stop lights as well. But she's still going strong. I've got other mechanical and electric related issues to confront, but drive-wise, my ride is enjoyable.
@ 7:50 Like how you dumped a bunch of dirt and dust right into the intake.
He did it so people would write a lot comments about it, a TH-camr gonna play the TH-cam Lingo!
I love my Genesis. I have the 2019 5.0 and have over 135,000 on it I haven't had to do anything except change the oil and tires. That is it.
Love to see you have started working out. Look forward to you being in your step mothers shape in a few years then. She was always one of the most fit in that scene.
You should ask her for some pointers.
The protein shakes are the secret.
For a tech that works for Genesis I always recommend to change out the pin tail of that sensor due to oil going in and having failure after , and for the tool yes I do recommend to get a key grind it from the side and make the middle of the tool shorter that will give you the room between the coolant tube in the middle
What part number is that pin tail? I have a stinger so I’m just prepping for the future😅
No way a Hyundai dealership dumped a car like that without putting an oil pressure tester on it.
Especially since this car was still sold/serviced in Hyundai dealerships before Genesis opened their own showrooms. However, there's a chance they knew about the sender switch, but labor would've likely been too expensive on top of the potential risk of breaking injectors like what Sam just did.
It was a European car dealer it was traded at. But they wanted nothing to do with it
@@SamcracThey never do. Over here in the UK they just flog perfect cars. I traded in a 2009 Audi A3 Black edition in 2018, it mint and they just scrapped it. And they gave me 7.5k for it.
@@Samcrac it's understandable, it's a risk to them to invest money and parts on it, and they would need to give some sort of warranty to it.
@@Samcrac Ya that makes sense, they probably soaked the guy on the trade too.
My cousin owned an older genesis, not sure the model but think it was between 2012-2014 sedan. She bought it cheap drove it for several years and just this year bought a newer genesis to replace it with. She said the one she replaced had just under 300k and never had a single issue with it. I was in the same train of thought on the budget luxury car but after talking to her I’m seriously considering one for my next daily driver.
When accessing components requires you to break a factory seal like that platcis intake runner a MANDATORY replacement of all the o- ring gaskets is necessary . Because of the heat generated between the cylinders and thermo expansion and contraction will deform the gasket causing leaks.
“Thermo expansion” 🤣😂🤣
Ya hes a bit of a hack. But thats a DIYer for ya 😅
My parents owned a Genesis before the branding and currently own a Tucson. They are fun cars the genesis was very nice to drive, very sporty and good handling on mountain highways/roads. The one thing though its not a car I would expect to hit 100k miles without many trips to dealership under and out of warranty. Mostly non-mechanical stuff and more cosmetic/tech/functionality things. Which shows in resale value. The dealership support is pretty good for those types of things but I would definitely get the new Lexus to minimize dealership adventures and hold that resale value.
This is why I love my 2003 GMC Envoy! I had this same issue with the oil pressure light when stopping in traffic but luckily mine is easily accessible from under the vehicle in plain view just above the oil filter with no real obstacles! And now having over 287,000 miles I need to replace my power steering pump. Nice G90👍😜
What a score - I am interested in the 90 series - only because I like the big sedans like the Lexus 430/460/500 - and the interiors on these 90's appear to be great - so glad you ran through your experience with this car and what a score for you Sam - wow -
LS430's are still the GOAT. I cant see the g90 lasting this many years in comparison.
I have 2018 5.0 95k miles 0 problems and where i live it's 120 f outside on a good day
@@Y7B107 the average ls430 is probably sat around 180-200k and still going strong.
In reading some of these comments, Therealbill45 has 300,000 miles on his 2016 Genesis.
Me personally, I reached 145,000 miles on my 2015 Genesis 5.0 and then decided to upgrade to the 2018 G80 5.0 AWD.
My 2015 Genesis was still running strong when I turned it in.
I fixed mine for free, Sam. I found out that this happens a lot because the sensors are junk. So I ignored the warning light. Still driving it. 2015 V6 H4.
Sam nice find and fix. Your much better off staying away from the Land Rovers
We've had a G80 sport for about 4 years, it's great, we enjoy it. No issues.
13:16 is it me or its sounding like a hole down
We have a G80 with the 3.8 V6 and 150K and thing has been rock solid. Has been an amazing car. I would only complain that the seat leather is kinda cheap and will wear out quickly and less commonly touched trim pieces are super cheap.
I used to own a G80 V8, best car I ever had, compared to BMW 5 series and Benz E class, the G80 was the way to go.. Enjoyed the power and the luxury..
That is one hell of a deal Sam, maybe the deal of the year. I wish I could do things like this, I would not buy some of the cars you do because I could not afford them or the repairs on them, but buying and fixing up like Honda's or just cars under $10K would be a cool thing. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the Genesis
😳so much dirt went into that intake.
They were only foam crums. No problem.
Now if it had been sand....
Better to immediately stuf some rags in those ports or put some tape over them.
It already had a ton of blow by oil in it, that car needs a catch can asap
Lol I used a mini hand vac to clean it all out before it went back together. I even think I have video footage of it somewhere maybe I'll use it for a short
I always wash engines first.
@@SamcracThere's absolutely no guarantee you got all of it out Sammy boy. Let's be honest about that for a second. Nice fine grit making it's way down the bores!
WAHOO! Finally a story with a truly HAPPY ENDING! Genesis is a GORGEOUS car, and better than most people think. Glad you didn't get screwed on the repair by the dealership. They are currently building an enormous new Genesis showroom in Milford, Connecticut instead of selling them through the local Hyundai dealer. They actually tore down the former Howard Johnson's restaurant and hotel to make room. It's going to be pretty spectacular! 👍😄
Ain’t no way Sam doing those workouts lmao
I've been doing them over a month and down around 8 lbs but feel much toner
The secret to life is just to move a little more then your normal self.
Even when you get on age, just keep them legs and hands moving the better you will feel and the more energetic your life will be.
I have a 2019 G70 3.3T. Same engine as this vehicle. They must have fixed this part in later iterations as I've never heard anyone complain of this issue in the forums! There are minor issues, like any car; but, overall, they're great cars and (as you said) you get a LOT of car for the money. I love it and I hope to keep mine for years to come!
2019 Stinger GT2, same here. I really haven't heard a ton on the forums from the guys, even those with high miles and/or tons of mods.
Sam, is there a reason you could not spray some foam cleaner first then use your pressure washer on that engine and then take it apart?
Drives me crazy to see someone work on a dirty engine when it is a 15 minute wash.
The Wizard is bad for that too. Almost every engine bay in Kansas has mandatory filth. It must be part of the dealer PDI to contaminate them before customer delivery.
When you remove the hard fuel lines on a high pressure pump, you're supposed to change the lines. They're one time use because they form themselves to the fittings. They're usually expensive.
How many vehicles are parked in the cow pasture now
22 at the moment
My wife's 2017 Santa Fe with the 3.3 l engine had the same issue. The sender unit not only failed and showed the oil pressure light, but also was allowing oil to leak into the valley which was the larger problem. I replaced the sender, and while it was in there replaced all the gaskets, the plugs and coils since she was at about 100,000 mi. Total cost was about $400 for the entire thing and a couple hours of my time. Really not a bad job.
Never have or will ever own Kia/ Hyundai, but don’t they tout a 10 year warranty? Wouldn’t that cover the repair?
Only if you follow the service manual to a tee. Which usually never happens.
Only for the original owner, Sam and the dealer aren't the original owner
thanks a million for this... I've been comparing this with the LS460... I'M A GENESIS FAN 4 LIFE!!!
Oil pressure switches are common for all the Hyundai and Genesis to leak very common issue, I replaced hundreds of them
Such a daft placement - Mazda V6's back in the 90's had the same issue - the switch would fail internally letting oil seep into the connector - I had 2 of them, a Presso Eunos, and an MS8 - both had the same problem at around the same mileage - but Mazda weren't stupid and put the switch on the side of the block - 5-10 minute job to replace it and a few dollars for the switch itself. Hyundai seem to have given zero f*ck* about making common failure points easily repairable with this engine.
@@Beer_Dad1975 Sam did point out a couple design placements that made repairs very easy. I think it's true of any complicated bit of gear that you can't make everything easy to get to repair. I am surprised that Hyundai/Kia didn't make some changes after the problem started occurring regularly. Routing some lines or extending the lines to the sensor and placing it higher on the engine.
@@greatpix Agree the extra room in the front of the engine bay is nice - but that is only there because they also fit a V8 to the same chassis. I'm sorry, but putting a plastic switch that endures a lot of heat and pressure where it is put - there is zero consideration to failure points in the design of the engine - you could excuse it a bit if the switch was put on the side of the block, and then the engine was put in a car where the side of the block is not very accessible - but in this case, it doesn't matter what car the engine is fitted to, a reasonably likely point of failure has been placed in a very bad place. it's at best ignorant, at worst, malicious. Good to know they at least addressed it in later models - that perhaps reduces it to ignorance.
Just for background, I'm a software engineer, and have been my whole career - but do have an engineering degree from 30 years ago, so remember being taught about considering serviceability in mechanical engineering design - and this would have failed back in my day, IMO.
Had a 2015 Ultimate (V8) it was a fantastic vehicle, zero issues and was extremely comfortable, I'll pick one up again in the future.
Hey Sam, they make sockets specifically for this. I learned this last week when I picked up a truck with 0 oil pressure for $800 from a guy who wanted it gone.
He was mad when I got it started with oil pressure and drove it out of his yard.
Let me know a model or part # . Thanks for the info
@@Samcrac Lisle 13250 is the one that I got. Its for GMs but it worked on the Dodge I worked on. They have slightly different lengths to them internally to match the length of the oil pressure switch depth.
Great deal !!!!
A bit of work to get to that sensor, but that was a good find Sam.
The people talking about the bit of dirt that fell in are hilarious. That dirt will burn up and be gone in 5 seconds. Lol
I'm far from meticulous but I did use a small hand vacuum and just got rid of anything around and in the ports
Tip…. Once all the intake gear is removed, notice the debris!!! It should be carefully vacuumed away so it won’t fall into the intake ports!!!!
Yeah it’s a great deal until you search 2017 genesis G90 and see there are 3 recalls for them ,all of which are related to engine compartment fires and is under the global Hyundai/kia park outdoors notice .
1) left trubo oil feed pipe is known to deteriorate leaking oil onto the engine/exhaust manifold resulting in fire while driving or after being parked
2) Starter solenoid is defective and water may leak into the solenoid causing a short which could result in fire while driving or while it’s parked
3) loose seals on both turbo feed lines resulting in oil leaking into the engine or manifold which could cause a fire while driving or parked .
Finally if it has the same ABS module as the Kia Stinger or the Genesis G70 there is a recall for that because it also can leak and short out causing a fire in the wheel well while driving or parked .
Don’t take my word for it , a simple google search can show you the same information.
The 3.3tt motors in these are pretty reliable when taken care of , my 2018 stinger gt is fbo and tuned on lap 3 and I just hit 133k miles with no issues just oil changes every 4k and spark plugs every 20k miles haven’t skipped a beat .
At 133K miles, have you experienced this? I've not heard a ton of it on 18-24 Stinger/G70s...
Did a German engineer create this engine?
Probably, they poached a lot of engineers from the Germans
2020 G90 here with 3.3 twin turbo v6 with 36k miles. No mechanical issues so far. I enjoy the car.
First
Good to see you Sam, enjoyed the video - Hope you’re well
Those Genesis do look sharp. I remember Tyler Hoover purchased an Hyundai Equus and compare its features to his Maybach. The Korean engineers really have done their homework.
Pity that the engine looks to be a consumable item - I was keen on a Stinger GT to replace my old GS460 - but the Kia/Hyundai V6 turbo looks like it's designed to fall apart after 10 years with all that plastic and foam - and I like to keep my cars for a long time, and be able to sell them on knowing the next owner will get some good use out of them.
Except for when they were deciding where to locate the oil pressure sensor.
@@Beer_Dad1975get a tau 5.0 it's a really solid engine
Had the same problem with my old Jeep, oil pressure gauge would go to zero when it was warm even though the engine sounded great. Found it had a crappy aftermarket sender that fell apart the minute I touched it. With OEM sender the gauge has never been below 25-30psi 👍
I've always liked Genesis but never had the money to buy one. Love the video Sam, great stuff
Again a real nice fix!! But what I can never understand is: why you do not clean anything before taking off an intake manifold or fuel rai. Just a simple brake cleaner spray and shop air(or even a small 12V air blower) will get rid of all that dust, dirt and debris that might either fall down an intake port or down an injector port, blocking that or causing cylinder/valve damage. Just a couple of seconds/minutes to do so, but might save your engine
Another win. Your knowledge finding these gems and the auctions / dealers laziness is paying off.
Thanks for this video, Samcrac. I've been considering one of these generation G90's for a little while now. While the newer G90 is nicer, there are some really great deals to be had on this generation.
Being an owner of a 2018 Stinger GT, I can say changing those spark plugs actually is not too bad with a few wobble extensions and ball swivels you can get to number 5 without too much fuss.
Had an older Genesis for a few years, ran great and reliable.
I can't believe there's not a tool that can work better than that. It's a beautiful car, I'd buy it!
Great series Sam, glad you got a good result. Thanks for all the videos this year. Merry Xmas.
I look forward to further videos.
Sam your definitely one funny cat, your all ways so chill. I love the channel, keep’em coming
Hmm, that oil travelling through the connector will probably travel further up the cable and can cause more issues in the future. Worst case: damage to the control unit. Needs to be checked and possibly replaced.
I had a 2013 genesis 3.8! The most reliable car I’ve ever had! It was fast, changed my perspective on Hyundai, will definitely get a genesis in later future time!:)
I have a 2015 Hyundai sonata Limited what's 155,000 mi and it's still running fine the leak down test is great each cylinder puts out good compression
Great car and for a great price! Happy to see this win for you 😊
15/16 are much cheaper. Grind the shank of wrench on either side of boxed end and it will be less aggravating. The diaphragm cracks or loses seal and the connector is sealed. Now there is pressure above diaphragm. That offsets the switch opening pressure higher and warm oilnidle pressure is 15-18 psi and switch needs 20 instead of 8 psi designed.
Nah, what he needs is someone with little baby hands to reach in there and turn it once it's loosened. 😂
