2013 Sonata Rod Knock Engine Failure Repair Part 3...… Does the patient live or die?

[@nareiko]

This is an amazing set of Videos that you have done on your Sonata. I am very impressed with your knowledge and the detail you went into in outlining the step by step approach. I am very sorry it did not have a better outcome for you. I had a 2007 Sonata that gave me great service, and my daughter took it over after I was done with it. Just traded it in at 147,000 miles, since it was not being used much recently. Was looking at a used Elantra for a friend but your series of videos have convinced me that I have owned my first and last Hyundai. Thank you for your good work.

[@conradscheepers4122]

If the engine has got a recall, why try to fix it youtself? Hyundai will give you a new engine .....

[@mohamedmaizi6383]

Total respect, i have the same problem on my sonata hybrid 2013 at 69k miles. Fortunately somebody told me about the extended warranty , and they are working on it right now replacing new engine.

No limit on the mileage for this recall now. Just took mine in with 165k miles and they didn’t even ask any questions, just took it in and said “If it’s the recall we’ll replace the engine for free”. They called me two days later and said “rental is on us and we’ll have the engine done in 2-3 weeks”. SWEET!!!!! Time to put your old bearings back in this thing and take it to the dealership.

[@benjones3437]

Your so right i wouldn't have touched it and just waited i for a 13 with 124k miles so far im loosing 1 Qt every 1600 miles so ima ride it as my backup car as long as i can lol

Mercedes has similar issue with the wrist pin on cylinder one. They recognize the issue and have TSB but did never recall it out of pocket 8 to 10,000

[@NopeToBroke]

What dealership did you go to? My local dealers are saying 4 months or more.

[@fernandfox]

I just got my car from the dealership! After replacing the bearings myself I was not able to fix the problem. So the other day I was doing some research on google to see what else I was able to do fixed it. Then really small there was a link for recalls in one of the website i was on. And there it was hiunday sonata engine bearing recall but because I try to fix it myself I did not have much hope! So anyways I call schedule appointment to bring the car and after couple hours later they call me to tell me they were going to change the engine for free! I’m so happy. Now the car feels totally new.

[@bob2787]

Just left a comment on one of your other videos on an update, well I found it here and feel Hyundai has yet let another person down. I have owned 3 Hyundai's and have been happy with two of them but my 2016 Sonata will be my last Hyundai. I was one of the lucky ones and got the "new" engine but the hell I had to go through to get it turned me off of Hyundai. In my owners manual I should be able to go 12,000 km between oil changes in the summer, I couldn't even go 5,000 km without adding oil. I'm telling everyone who asks about my Hyundai to stay away from the brand. Too bad Hyundai doesn't get this or doesn't care. Thanks for sharing your experience with us....too bad the ending couldn't have been a new engine.

[@darrenb7230]

I'm glad I saw your video cause I'm very concern about my 2013 sonata. I always keep up with the oil changes and make sure everything else is good. Even though my car is not high miles yet. It's around 70000. I also got a recall on the fuel line might cause engine 🔥. I'm getting that fix by hyundai with no cost. I love my car I'm just worried about dying in it on the road or worst. Can't afford a new car so God is watching over me. Sorry for your lost of your car. Just be glad your alive and well God bless.

[@guidedbygreen1480]

You'll know your car is beginning to die when your oil consumption begins to rapidly increase... Then you can get an oil consumption test done by Hyundai for free. Call the Hyundai roadside assistance number if your local dealership won't help. This is a manufacturing recall with many class action lawsuits... They'll take care of you

[@josephwiggins3115]

Good evening sir, but no offense on your repair. I give you great respect on even attempting to do this repair. I've literally been working on Hyundai engines for a very long time, and I'm a certified master rebuilder of their motors. You did stop the knock in the car, but you just missed one thing and that was clearing the codes. Clearing the codes would have stopped the CEL from flashing, and give the ECM an opportunity to identify that the issue was resolved in other words. Yet, I still give you much respect for even doing this sort of repair. I get these engines in all the time with spun bearings, but I use a complete rebuild kit, and I have not had one issue out of any of my repairs. The shoe string method really is a temporary fix, you must do a rebuild to get a permanent result. Thank you for the videos.

[@JB-jz4tc]

This is a great video and I am going to attempt the same but I have 3 questions . What did you do to relieve the pressure for the oil pump balancer tensioners?Did you take the timing cover off to turn the crank to get bring down rod 2 ? How did you push the pistons up to get the top bearing half ? I would really appreciate those steps

[@hamdielhatel397]

Thank you for all of your videos…. You are a professional mechanical ⚙️…. I have same problem Hyundai Sonata 2013 140k mile

Thanks for watching! Hopefully if you take your car to Hyundai they will do right by the class action lawsuit and replace your engine👍

[@cindysikes1892]

I’m so sorry about your car. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata with now 115,000 miles on it. I started an oil consumption test with one dealer then called them before I took it back. They told me everything had stopped 2 days prior. I took it to another dealer they told me everything stopped a month ago. I’m taking it to a 3rd dealer next week. I hope and pray this will work. I also talked with Hyundai National to a nasty woman who did everything to shut me up. I don’t know if mine will be replaced, but this is my last shot. It’s burning a quart of oil a month. My engine light came on last week.

[@Dec3.1903]

Did you get the oil pump chain indexe indexed. There are timing marks . It turns the balance shaft. The engine will seem to knock if the balance shaft is not timed right

[@djkay-c4860]

The check engine light is flashing because there is a multiple cylinder misfire. You can clearly hear the car missing when you first started it. This is part on Hyundai/Kia recall! You needed to check compression on the cylinders. There may had been a slightly bent rod that is throwing the timing off, which you should have checked once you took the bearings out.

[@austyndrums1993]

Cel is flashing because the misfires detected are severe enough to damage catalytic converters.

[@Fullassuranceapparel]

Wow, I'm having the same problem same amount of miles. My Hyundai kept burning all the oil and now it's finished.

[@jmj5150]

I was going to try this method until part 3 video. and I felt bad for you. Very nice try though.. it was so promising in the beginning... I guess i'm going to buy another engine too

[@MrUGA2010]

WOW; what a video, or all the saga! the best on journey on YT for sure, so detailed and educational!! Amazing!

[@thomasaganwonyi5816]

Was wondering, did you clear the codes again after fixing the rod bearings? That might have resolved the limp mode / flashing check light code.

[@matthewcleary6259]

Ya I wanted to scream... You need to clear and reset adapter values and then clear all codes and voila limp mode is gone and all of a sudden you have responsive throttle but whatever this is also two years ago lol so go get your car back that you probably scrapped and tell him you have to put a scanner on it real quick take 3 minutes lol Hope everything works out

[@joeblow5863]

My Hyundai Santa FE engine went on me a few weeks ago! I am 200 klms away from the nearest dealer ship! To make a long story short did not want to pay for a tow bill etc.. had another mechanic look at it all cost money! Decided to take a chance and haul it to Hyundai and hopefully on warranty or else i am screwed! I am already out 1000 dollars , car had 175000 klms.

[@duytuanbme]

Giving how complicated the process is, no wonder Hyundai decided to replace the whole engine rather than fixing it. It's very sad that the car couldn't make it. What are you going to do with it now?

[@roundtownitsolutions4380]

Thanks JR. Good try. I hope my engine can be salvaged but if I see shavings on the solenoid its a wrap for me.

[@uliaolgova1611]

You can still definitely get that sanded down with the sand paper, cause I had the same problem on my Kia Rondo but now I have a problem with my forth bearing also so it’s a bit complicated but I think I can figure it out.

[@briantii]

I know it’s a bit late but did you try resetting the CEL after the bearing replacement? Also that oil pump looked like it had balance shafts in it - were those timed correctly? They need to be properly timed to the crankshaft to balance out vibrations.

[@coreywilson701]

I was looking for this exact comment

[@matthewcleary6259]

Haha I was saying the same thing in my head those marks on the chains those are so you line up the camshaft they have to be in particular spots but when he took the oil pump off I'm willing to bet he might have slipped that chain out so it's definitely going to be off time.. whatever 2 years ago... Willing to Bet not still under the car lol

[@dwaynebrewton9482]

Don't quote me l maybe wrong but l believe the balance shaft is aligned to the crank not oil pump.

[@pavlokuksyuk1610]

Thanks for sharing .I have same problem and think to do same but after everything I'm looking for new engine

[@JrZCarZ]

Did you go through Hyundai first and see if they would honor their replacement from the class action lawsuit they have against them? I would start there first. Don't bother trying to do the bearings cause all that junk ran through the block and would need to be really cleaned then fully rebuilt.

[@sehadetengur7394]

My 2011 Sonata's engine seized last week on 170k km, and Hyundai Canada is making engine replacement for free but i will pay pay for damaged Turbo and some other parts.

Wow, I'm sorry that you could not get it fixed. Maybe you could find a rebuilt or new motor somewheres. I had a similar thing with a 2002 Buick. It was a sharp nice looking car. But recently the motor started leaking oil & coolant at the same time really bad. The garage said they could fix it for a little over a grand. But I decided to chuck it & buy a new Kia. I hope I don't have these problems. I hope you get your car fixed.

[@Jethrumi]

How did you sping / rotate the engine so the cylinders 2/3 were showing so you can remove those bolts?

[@JrZCarZ]

I put the crank bolt back in and rotated the crank using the bolt. With the plugs out it turns over fairly easy cause there's no compression.

I recommend replacing the Theta II with a 2.0 Nu, not as bad of problems, and these Sonatas came with them, so fitment shouldn't be an issue, though Hyundai did finally get rid of the Theta engine altogether in their 2020 models in favor of the 2.5, 2.0, and 1.6 Smartstream engines, fingers crossed they can regain their reputation

[@robertrpenny]

The rod bearing clearance spec. of 0.003-0.004 in. is quite loose and seems like it would result in low OP and spun bearings. What viscosity oil do they recommend?

[@JrZCarZ]

Oil should be 5w20

[@robertrpenny]

Is 5w20 the optimal oil or is that what the US gov't told them to run? If clearance is really 0.003" or more it should be much heavier. Bureaucrats declaring things doesn't necessarily mean its true.

[@schmick63]

Did you put the oil pump / balance shaft in back properly ? You aren't supposed to take that lower nut off the oil pump, but rather take out all the bolts attaching it and angle it out.

[@JrZCarZ]

Yep it all went back together correctly

[@diegotdiegot4975]

[@alejandroescudero5055]

Thanks

[@mrkzj2]

As far as I'm concerned, this wasn't that big of a failure on your part. The primary concern was the rod knock which you seem to have fixed. Who knows how long the other journals were pitted or damaged for before the #1 rod started knocking. Likewise, who knows how long they would have continued on before also making noise or seizing. I'd say this was a success - at the very least, you fixed the rod knock and it didn't cost much, even if it doesn't last forever.

My 2013 Tucson spun all 4 rod bearings by 104k miles, the mains were pristine. Glitter everywhere. The camshafts have 1 bearing between the 2 of them, the head and caps serve as the bearing for the other 11 contact points which were wallowed out to the point the cams started chewing a relief in the side of the head. Not a robust design in my view.

Same happened to my car but not as bad. Busy with it right now. Waiting for new bearings to be delivered. Just a note for your measurements. You are well out of spec. The tolerance is 0.031mm to 0.045mm, not inch. which translates to 0.00122inch to 0.00177inch. Assuming your rod mark is B, you need to order the black color lined bearing from the dealer. For others with the same motor who are doing this and want the rod cap bolt torque spec. it's 13 - 15.9 ft-lb +88 to 92 degrees.

Already replaced the rear shocks, I think the rattle is coming from the rear lower control arm.

[@josephwiggins3115]

I actually rebuild these 2.4l Hyundai engines, and by far this was done all wrong. 1. The motor was not removed from the engine bay, which the shop manual calls for you to do this particular job. 2.There was no check for engine slap, which could also trigger the knock sensor. 3. The plastigage measurement should have been the #1 indicator that the crankshaft pin was extremely worn or the connecting rod inner bore was worn and needed to be replaced. 4. This guy did not know the proper reading of his measurements....let me learn him. Oil clearance specs for this 2.4l is .031~.045 mm (.0012~.0017 in), and his gauge was clearing reading .003 of an inch; which equals to .076 mm. This reading tells me that his crank shaft is shot at the pins, and there is extremely too much clearance between the pin and the bearing. Furthermore, the reason why he did not receive a knock YET was because he replaced a new bearing that is thicker than the worn one, and that one will eventually spin in no time. He never cleared the codes before starting the motor either. Moreover, that misfire could have been something simple if this guy just understood basic engine diagnosing. There is a lot more I can say about this, but I'm not. These are very good engines and easy to work on if you know what to do. Consequently, many guys on these channels that are DIY's need to be a little more careful with the influence they are putting out here about these cars. These are good motors that are fixable and reliable. Take Care.

[@JrZCarZ]

First off, if I wanted a full rebuild I wouldn't be doing it in the dirt with the engine in the car in my back yard. Common sense tells you that if I was actually trying to rebuild it, the engine would have been on a stand indoors. There was nothing 'simple' about this problem. If you actually watched the other videos you would see bearing material circulated all over the engine. A knock sensor or clearing the codes wouldn't fix this problem. If you actually rebuild these engines and suggest that, I feel sorry for your customers who think they are ok just to have bearings spin a couple thousand miles later. I leave with this thought...... If you rebuild these engines, which would mean that you've rebuilt a few, how can you claim they are great motors? A great motor wouldn't need to be rebuilt. A great motor wouldn't have as many accounts of failures as there have been ALL OVER the internet. A great motor wouldn't have caused a class action lawsuit that Hyundai/Kia lost and now have to replace these engines....... I had a 88 Lincoln Town Car with 427,000 MILES on the original 5.0L engine and it was still running strong. THAT was a great engine. Same goes for the 4.6L in any Panther platform car. Great engine for longevity. Getting just over 130k miles out of an engine is pathetic nowadays. Most didn't even make it to that.... Shit engine that was good on gas.

The wording in the class action lawsuit doesn't say anything about 120k limit for extended warranty. It basically provides a lifetime engine block and powertrain warranty for all vehicles falling under this class action period!. They are BSing you if they say otherwise. Tow that vehicle to a Hyundai dealership and tell them you have a P1326 code, they are required by law to honor that class action settlement. Don't give up!

Hey bud did you reset the codes to get it out of limp mode? Not questioning your intelligence. Just a question. Our 2012 did the same thing but when I dropped the pan I discovered that the oil pump had failed and was destroyed. I found no signs of rod bearing wear. It's crazy. Also our vehicle has a rebuilt title which the NHTSA has given the automotive industry a loophole to get out of the warranty and recalls. We called everyone and they wouldn't do a thing. So I'm headed under the vehicle now to get everything back together.

[@richardsledgecock2110]

Just change oil every 300 miles and oil filter. Gdi engines tend to thin their oil with gas going past piston rings which dilutes the oil making it act like a much thinner oil.this happens mostly with cars that are driven short distances and not coming up to full engine heat saturation. Gdi engines are ok but you absolutely must change your oil more often.your 2020 should last a very long time if you do this.i never ever alow my oil changes to go much past 3000 miles. I own a 2020 santafe with the non turbo 2.4.it runs mostly about 30 miles a day broken up into several short trips .this is considered severe service and requires more frequent oil changes.i use a high quality conventional oil since I change it more frequently. Hope this helps you get many miles😃

[@richardsledgecock2110]

I ment 3000 miles not 300 miles lol

I have the similar engine which my 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid has and the engine is locked. The car was towed to the KIA dealership, I had all the recalls done. SC200 Knock sensor software updated and 15 years 150K miles warranty. There is no Recall for the engine they said which is SC140 unlimited mileage warranty one. But I don't believe that this engine did not have manufacturing failure as well. My car was 150340 miles and they said hey your car is over 150K miles. I said are you guys kidding me. It is only 340 miles more and it is almost 150k. And I asked what if my car was 149999 miles, they said they would replace the engine. This is how KIA shows its reliability to their customers. They lost me. I will never buy KIA again, I was looking for something new from KIA models. But I will not buy again and will never suggest it to my friends as well.

[@cyberslacker5150]

You forgot to erase the old code before you started the car! If the code is there, the car will not rev even it doesn't have the knocking issue anymore. When the car was started you said you didn't hear any more knocking, therefore if you erase the code the car would have run fine. You could have gone for maybe 20k mile more before the car would have headed the the junkyard. Now it wouldn't have lasted a long time, but just enough to get you thru the pandemic. Also you could have used the heaviest weight of motor oil, like Mobile1 15W-50 and have less if any knocks. It should have been OK to use this oil on this engine.The engine limits rev because it detects engine knock, so a heavy weight of oil should eliminate the knocks. I ran into this problem. When I erased the code, the engine would rev, but when I drove it, and the knocking started, the code would come back and limit the rev again. And found your video.

[@JrZCarZ]

The battery was disconnected for about 2 weeks prior so no codes were stored. I also did clear codes after and that's not going to help anything if you have internal damage. You should NEVER have to put such a heavy weight oil in a modern car. All you are doing is making the root cause of the problem(spun bearings) which will lead to a catastrophic failure. When that happens, I wouldn't want to be in the car...... there's a reason Hyundai put the KDS in the PCM firmware update.

[@19mati67]

How much would cost a replacement crank?

[@JrZCarZ]

The crank could be professionally ground and polished and undersized bearings put in but honestly the engine would have to be completely torn down and hot tanked to get any debris out before replacing all bearings and seals if I was going that far.

[@19mati67]

@@JrZCarZ That is way to much work. I would just pick one up from the junkyard, and with new 0 size bearing set(you already have) should be fine.

[@rushking19]

Thats weird because in most cases they cover it ive put several motors in the cars many well over 120k miles i have one rn at 144k im doing at work rn , and sorry to tell you but this will probably happen again because the issue is the oil passages on the engine dont flow well at all because they wasn't cleaned properly so unless cleaned then it will happen again

[@therealhustle9974]

I just got one warrantied out at 177k and I was not the original owner.

[@JoeMommaFPV]

this makes TOTAL sense. I have had this repair done by the dealership once a couple years back. They claimed to replace the engine with a new one, about $13k worth of parts and labor. This week, I've started to hear a slight ticking in the rods again, so it's returning for a SECOND TIME! And the dealership is telling me "get service records ready, we need to inspect and make sure it's not due to your neglegency"🤬

[@rushking19]

@@JoeMommaFPV they do replace them with a new or completely reman engine. The issue is the other thing that happens with these engines is that they end up burning oil and burn so much oil that they end up running low on oil a couple times and causes bearing failure. So most of the oil passage issues where fixed with Hyundai's first batch of replacement engines but the oil consumption wasn't because the piston rings and the gdi system is the issue.

And it’s lifetime as long as you keep up the maintenance THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITS FROM A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

[@mikekoch4932]

BS on that. the 'lifetime' motor warranty is ONLY for bad rod bearings going bad again NOT for anything else at all. NO warranty on entire engine once replaced. Shame on Hyundai for that should be 1/12K at mininum and more like 3/36K on entire new engine swap.

[@zaks9919]

By now you've probably heard from a bunch of people on what procedure to follow attempting to fix this problem., but for the rest of us it should be going like this., there should be nothing visible in the oil period..Then buy an aftermarket oil gauge & read what the pressure is..Then buy a cheap compression gauge & take readings according to the instructions that come with it.,Even if you would have found one bad bearing ., replacing it is for a city driving , backyard mechanic, with a bus ticket in his back pocket., and a buddy who drives a wrecker....He knows the car will be unreliable for the highway, & at best could go 2 months, to a year before it expires .,&" he is willing to drive it on those terms".. ..For people who have a suspect car that is still driving ., buy the aftermarket oil pressure gauge, & stop the engine if the pressure drops below 20 psi & stays there. You'll figure it out.,better than getting stranded!

[@Silvervwolfee]

This is very disheartening. I was hoping Hyundai was a reputable auto manufacturer. Shoot...guess not. I have an 06 Sonata with 158,000 miles on it. Doesn't use a drop of oil. I saw somewhere a guy got several 100 k's on his Hyundai. Not sure, but I think I'll just keep my good reliable 06 and hope n pray it doesn't crap out on me.

Jr. If the hyundai still has it and the check light is still flashing, what you have to do is remove it from the limp mode and do a reset memory and erase the fault code and thus the engine accelerates again, it only remains to test it a few times to see if the pcm does not give the P1326 code again.

It's not a recall to replace the engine. It's a class action lawsuit that they extended the warranty.

Call Hyundai corp and open a consumer affair case and if they refuse, threaten legal action against them.

I have a 2016 Elantra GT, had to have this service done, needed to go through 3rd party Warranty when I got it done because the suit wasn't settled yet I believe. But now it's been settled. The dealership fixed this for me already once. But Just a couple of days ago a slight rod tap has returned. THE BEARINGS WENT OUT AGAIN!!! I'm not going to let it get as far gone as it did the first time. It's been sitting in the driveway. I'm going to take it back to Hyundai on Monday and hope that they will cover this repair a SECOND time. I will NEVERRRR own another Hyundai. Complete GARBAGE! how does it happen TWICE! And I call them and they say, "Get maintenance records ready, because we have to inspect, and if it's your fault that this happened it won't be covered" So it sounds to me like they are going to try to find a way to pin the blame on me saying I waited too long between oil changes. But we'll see how it turns out. I still owe LOTS on this car, and I can't really afford to replace a motor in a car where I still owe so much on it. SOOOO pissed with Hyundai right now!!!

[@JrZCarZ]

And this is why I'll NEVER own another Hyundai. So many people are saying that they have had the engine replaced more than once. Just yesterday I was enjoying a drive with my windows down cause it was beautiful out, then a Tuscon pulled out in front of me and even though I couldn't see smoke, it smelled horrible of straight oil pouring out the exhaust. Not even burned oil, but it smelled like oil straight out of the pan being dumped out. So disgusting that I had to shut my windows. PZEV my ass!

[@ayayron10]

I'm bummed because the class action suit and extended warranty I read is for cold states and original owners. The second owners only got like 80k warranty on drive train. I have a 2013 elantra that I just noticed a ticking noise at 113k miles and I'm a second owner in a hot climate state. I have read that hyundai won't do anything for people like me in my area. They just sadly pay for new engine or total rebuild. I'm taking my car Monday to my local independent shop and see what they say as to engine health. I have taken care of the car since I bought it at only 24k miles on it. It doesn't seem to smoke or eat oil or trip any engine lights so not sure but I read it can be a sign of the classic piston slap issue they had on elantraa from 2011 to 2016.

Pretty scary stuff, towed to dealer, now they say Hyundai will not replace engine because knock sensor recall was never done. We knew nothing about it. If the dealership where we bought it had done the recall work we would have a new engine, no questions asked. Legally dealer can sell used vehicles with open recalls. I know others have had engines replaced without recall work performed however maybe their engine wasn't as dead as ours, it sounds terrible. I've heard it depends on the Hyundai dealership you're using. I tried Hyundai National, they said they would not open a case. Still owe about $12k on this vehicle. Perhaps an attorney could help? If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful. The vehicle belongs to my 21 year old son who is a college student, he and his girlfriend we're driving when the vehicle left them in danger. State Police had to shut lanes down until vehicle was towed. Really bad experience, so glad they're safe at least.

We just got a mailing about the class action lawsuit settlement where they are offering to warranty the blocks for lifetime, no mileage restriction. They are also reimbursing people for out of pocket repairs and/or lost value if the car was sold. I'm guessing their recall said 120,000 miles but then the lawsuit takes it further. Did you get the mailing from Hyundai about the lawsuit claim form? When the settlement is approved you should try again to get them to replace the engine. It clearly says they would.
