Hi everyone!

I have to admit, I'm absolutely in love with the looks of this car and pretty much everything about it. I'm currently waiting until the end of November to finally get mine: a 2007 Hyundai Coupe GK with the 1.6 engine.

It's been very well maintained by its previous owner, has around 170,000 km on it, and only has a few scratches. The seller has also provided me with a full list of all the maintenance and work done on the car...

all for around 3,000 euros (I live in Italy)

What are some things I should know about this car? Any tips, suggestions, common issues to look out for, or things I should be careful about...?

Thanks in Advance

Wanting to do a full coolant change as its never been done on mine before...

Not sure which type of coolant it takes ?

Cant tell what colour it is as its that old , im assuming green ( or ethlyene glycol) but not sure.

Anyone know for sure ?

Honestly, I know it needs a lot of TLC, simply wondering about people's opinions, & yeah criticism is accepted.

Absolute Amateur home mechanic here, should i just replace the entire thing or can i just clean it out, re grease it and put the boot back on?

Running 1.1 bar with a stock G4GC, with stock compression and the stock ECU!

Finally got the tune to a point where I really enjoy it.

In the last few weeks I’ve been sporadically losing power to my dash.

The radio, clock, cluster lights, blinkers, headlights, rear defroster, over head interior lights, and glove box light all go out. The fans, AC, recirculating light, cigarette lighter, and speedometer/odometer/mileage stay on.

When the power flicks back on the radio and clock are both reset, which leads me to believe they’re losing power completely because they only reset when I unhook the battery (obviously).

It lasts anywhere from several seconds to a couple minutes.

I’ve had the BCM out before (2016 I think?) to replace the turn signal relay but haven’t had any issues since.
I’ve also had to replace the fan switch and wires because they got too hot and melted lol 🫠

Anyone have any insight on this? I’m praying that it’s a lost ground wire somewhere and not the BCM again. But I haven’t had it apart to check yet- she’s going in the garage for the winter next month.

Does anybody really buy these whole for parts?

I have a 2006 gs that the brake line went (I think) and I'm just over it. I had a new alternator and electrical harness done in January and new tires before that with almost no miles. Cars been sitting since April and I've just had analysis paralysis in New Jersey.

I hate that I loved this thing for over 10 years and it's probably just going to get crushed. ​

Just bought a 2002 tibby, where are you guys getting your cosmetic parts from?

So when I gun it from first or second my rpms will go up but like it almost seems like a bog out like my accell becomes SUPER slow like I said tho super rarely. Like rpms will go but accell will not always any chance that’s tranny or clutch ?

Hi folks, recently acquired this Coupe SIII 2.0 2008.
Since then, timing belt done, water pump, new clutch, auxiliary belts, full service including fluid changes.

When I took it out of the garage I had a burnt smell and some white smoke coming from the engine bay, further inspection (though not very thorough) places the smoke near the exhaust, so mechanic and I think it’s fluid spilled during service that’s burning off the exhaust. I’ve also had to bring back the car twice for issues his work has caused. The smoke has since mostly subsided so has the burnt smell so hypothesis seems correct.

Now, the engine noise seems a little suspicious to me (see video). I’m not entirely sure I can trust this particular mechanic, but considering the amount of money I’ve put in I’d like to run the engine noise by you fellow tiburon owners before spending another couple hundreds at another mechanic.

What are we thinking?

Anyone in los Angeles / OC that can help with mechanical / electrical issues?

DM me

I bought a 2000 RD2 coupe, a couple months back.I love the look and the feel of the car but unfortunately the last owner has not been so kind to the car. The car is running a very rich fuel mixture. You can smell gas from the exhaust and also when you remove the oil cap. So gas is getting into the oil. I have no black smoke or any other smoke coming from the exhaust, and the car idles without problem and runs fine. I’m constantly checking the oil to make sure it’s not getting diluted and topping off or replacing it so I’m not damaging the engine. Since I am driving to work at it. I’m trying to get an OBD2 scanner onto it to help me locate the problem. My OBD2 scanner should be able to read KWP2000 and the ISO 14230. But I get nothing when connecting it I checked the K line with a multimeter and I get 0 V on it. Does that mean the wire is broken? I have normal voltage readings on all other pins. I’ve tried unplugging the aftermarket radio (don’t have the original) but that did not help. So now I’m kind of lost where do I tackle this problem?

A few weeks ago I bought a 2L 2004 tiburon and i found out the cruise control wont set. The light on the dashboard turns on but when I try to set the speed I just doesn’t do anything and the car slows down. Later I found out that the sensor on the clutch broke so i replaced it but it didn’t solve the issue.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the fix?

This picture was from a Duraflex body kit on Car ID and i haven’t been able to find any info on this spoiler anywhere.

Just wondering if any of you more experienced Tibby owners have seen this spoiler and might know what it is or where I could find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve only recently come into ownership of a Tiburon and I’m almost done with necessary work, starting to think about looks. Some of the really cool stuff seems really hard to find though.

2005 2.0 automatic vibration appear strong on D mode and brake standing like on lights ,i noticed this after buying and didn't know what to do, internet says a lot of stuff from gearbox to motor, so maybe someone dealt with this before?

I have a 2006 Hyundai Coupe SE automatic.
I have a Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into my cigarette lighter. Whenever I press down on the accelerator the speakers make a whining noise. When I come off the accelerator the whining noise dies down but there is still a faint noise. When I flip the indicators they actually stop the whining noise and then it comes back once they’re turned off.

I’ve heard it could be a grounding issue or a radio issue.
I replaced the old battery (70ah) with a new one that has 75ah. I thought maybe the extra power would help but no difference.

Should I replace the radio to stop the noise or is there something else I should do? Or is this an issue a mechanic has to fix.

While Im here - I have an ABS warning light. It was diagnosed as being the passenger side rear wheels sensor issue. How do I know what I need to buy to fix this? Just a sensor or the ring thingy or something else?

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Also here is pictures of my car - I really like it but it does have its issues :(

Thanks all :)

I have an ‘08 SE & it’s been sitting for about a year while I’ve been deployed to another state for work. It has 97k miles on it, the tires had less than 3000 miles when it was parked. Outside of fluids, is there anything else I should focus on?

& before anyone says it, I installed a Gates kit in 2024.

Just did a head gasket on the gs. Everything's back together where it should and then I found this. Behind the head on the passenger side

Does anyone know if this clutch pedal adjuster will work on our cars with manual transmissions? My original plastic one snapped an hour from home, so I had to jerry rig it to get the car home. If anyone is still running their plastic adjuster, i'd 100% look into replacing it. mine snapped out of nowhere and left me stranded for 30 minutes. For the repair, I screwed in a wall "i" hook into the black bobber and bent it around the pedal hole. Got me home!

Hello guys!

So I recently got a tibby with the last facelift type, got this sound if anyone can give me a bit of insight on what it could be

Drives fine and smoothly so far, I also noticed it does a bit of a rattle sound when accelerating
