- Hyundai Accent 2000–2003 (petrol)
- Period mentioned
- 2000–2003
- Symptoms
- Odd electrical faults (air conditioning, ignition, contacts); an automatic gearbox that sticks in third.
- Possible cause described
- The Australian guide says the wiring harnesses were too tight with short wires, with many complaints of poor connections and corroded connectors; if the automatic sticks in third, the pulse generator has usually failed. Engine and gearbox are durable, but the timing belt must be changed on schedule.
- Check for the garage
- Test every electrical system and check the connectors; on the automatic, check it goes through every gear; ask for the timing-belt invoice.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
