Hyundai Elantra HD

Hyundai Elantra fourth generation was presented to the world public in April 2006, and in the autumn of the same year appeared in the salons of Russian car dealers. The new Elantra was designated J4 and HD. The last Elantra 4 rolled off the assembly line in June 2011, giving way to the next generation. During the production, the fourth generation received nominations in various categories. As a result, 2nd place in the top ten most economical (in its class) and 1st place in the category “best choice”. According to some reputable research firms, the Elantra J4 at that time bypassed such eminent manufacturers as Toyota and Honda.

Engine

Hyundai Elantra HD in the secondary market is mainly found with an engine displacement of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 122 hp. Much less often you can encounter 2-liter engines with a return of 143 hp. Gasoline 1.6 liter G4FC - representative of the range of engines GAMMA. This power unit has a chain drive valve timing. Engines assembled before April 2008 had problems with the chain's hydraulic tensioner, which was failing to do its job. As a result, when running more than 60-100 thousand km, the engine began to “diesel”, there were extraneous sounds, the launch was given with difficulty, and the engine was dead. At the opening, a chain jump of 1-2 teeth was detected. Complete disregard of the symptoms resulted in a more critical chain jump of more than 6-8 teeth and the meeting of the valves with the pistons. Despite the measures taken, diesel is also found on Elantras of the later year of release 2009-2010. Replacing the set of the valve timing together with the work will pull 12-15 thousand rubles. With a run of more than 120-150 thousand km, the gas pump can fail. For the original will have to pay about 3-4 thousand rubles, for an analogue - about 1-2 thousand rubles. At the same mileage, a crankshaft position sensor may fail. When running more than 100-150 thousand km, problems may arise with starting in the cold due to the failure of the retracting starter relay. Several cases of the need to replace the burnt-out ECU engine with a mileage of more than 100-120 thousand km were noted. Everything happened during accidental contact with the block during the pull-up of the battery's plus terminal. The new block cost 40 thousand rubles.

Transmission

The pair of the engine is either a 5-speed “mechanics” or a 4-speed “automatic”. The weak point of the manual transmission is the squeeze bearing, which, when running more than 60-80 thousand km, begins to whistle. There are also problems with the clarity of the inclusion of the first and rear gears. Dealers for the replacement of a clutch set with work ask about 10-12 thousand rubles. About the same, about 8-10 thousand rubles, will cost the replacement of the kit and in a conventional car service. When running more than 100-150 thousand km, there are problems with the bearing of the primary shaft. Also sometimes there is a creak of a fork on the hinge.

The A4CF1 is more reliable than its hand-held counterpart. Among the complaints of owners, one can distinguish the appearance of aftershocks during switching when running more than 100-150 thousand km. Cases of repair boxes are isolated.

Walking

The racks and bushings of the front stabilizer run about 40-60 thousand km (for 250 rubles per piece). The racks and bushings of the rear stabilizer last a little longer – more than 60-80 thousand km. When running more than 40-60 thousand km often appear creaks and bells in the rear suspension. There are several reasons - floating Silentblocks, collapsed levers or cups of rear shock absorbers. The first to sound floating Silentblocks. The metal ball of the pendulum Silentblock is immersed in oil, which over time flows through microdamage, and creaks. As a temporary measure, you can drive the lubricant under the rubber band using a conventional medical syringe. But soon, after 20-30 thousand km, creaking will return. The new Silentblock at dealers costs about 800 rubles, and they estimate the replacement work at 1.5-2 thousand rubles. The analogue will cost 300 rubles, and the work on replacement in a conventional car service - about 500-600 rubles. Cups of the rear racks can creak when running more than 60-100 thousand km (1-1.5 thousand rubles per cup). The sliding levers, as a rule, are given up when running more than 100-120 thousand km (500-600 rubles per lever). Front shock absorbers can “sink” or knock when running more than 60-100 thousand km. The cost of a new depreciation rack is about 2-2.5 thousand rubles. Rear shock absorbers usually go longer - about 100-120 thousand km Support bearings of the front pillars live more than 100 thousand km. Over time, the freely dangling anthers of the front pillars begin to knock. Ballroom goes more than 100-120 thousand km. The new one costs about 600 rubles.

Body and salon

The body of Hyundai Elantra 4 is completely galvanized, so bare metal in the places of chips for a long time “does not redden”. If the car did not get into an accident, there should be no corrosion foci. Over time, the protective layer on the inner surface of the wheel arches wears off. The sandblast of the threshold behind the front wheels becomes noticeable when running more than 100-150 thousand km. The handles of the exterior doors on cars older than 4-5 years sometimes crack and break off. By this time, the larva of the lock of the trunk lid sours, if it is not periodically opened with a key. The rear lights often get foggy. When running more than 100-120 thousand km can fail the pump of the headlight washer. The original will cost 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles, the analogue is cheaper - 400-500 rubles. On the Elantra J4 older than 3-4 years may appear cracking when closing the driver's window. The reason is the destruction of the rivets of guides. The Hyundai emblem on the steering wheel begins to climb on cars older than 4-5 years. Often the source of creak in the front of Elantra 4 is the external plastic lining at the bottom of the windshield. Sources of extraneous sounds can be a glove compartment, ceiling plating at the point of contact with the central counter, the front panel in the area of the airbag of the front passenger or a plastic frame around the perimeter of the eyeglass. Knocking from the back can be caused by transverse thrusts of the trunk lid. In this case, the screed of thrusts with clamps will help. Many owners of Hyundai Elantra J4 in winter complain about poor heating of the cabin. In most cases, the fault lies on the motor drive valve heat-cold, refusing when running more than 60-100 thousand km.

In comparison with classmates, Hyundai Elantra 4 in terms of reliability is not inferior, and somewhere even surpasses in resource and price of spare parts. A little more attention will require an inexpensive and easy-to-maintain suspension. Chain tensioner problems are less common today, but you should avoid cars with manual transmission. The Hyunda Elantra J4 is quite suitable for the role of an inexpensive unpretentious car.
