Hyundai questions we answer every week

Straight answers from our techs

Why is my Hyundai engine knocking?

Many 2011–2019 Hyundais with the 2.0T and 2.4L Theta II engines can develop rod-bearing knock that leads to engine failure. Many are covered by recalls or extended warranties.

Warning signs

Knocking that rises with RPM  ·  Oil light  ·  Stalling  ·  Loss of power

What we do

We diagnose it and check your VIN for recalls or extended coverage before anything else.

Colorado Springs:  Stop driving an engine that knocks — continuing can seize it.

Why is my Hyundai using oil?

Some Hyundai GDI engines use oil between changes, which can starve the engine if the level drops too low.

Warning signs

Low oil between changes  ·  Oil light  ·  Blue smoke

What we do

We run an oil consumption test and recommend the right repair.

Why does my Sonata's steering clunk?

On 2011–2014 Sonatas, a clunk in the steering wheel at low speed is often a worn flexible steering coupler.

Warning signs

Clunk when turning  ·  Felt in the wheel

What we do

We confirm it and replace the coupler.

What is carbon buildup on a Hyundai GDI engine?

Direct-injection engines don't wash the intake valves with fuel, so carbon builds up over time and causes rough running.

Warning signs

Rough idle  ·  Cold-start misfire  ·  Lost power

What we do

We inspect first and clean the valves only when carbon is actually affecting how it runs.

Does Westco do Hyundai recall and warranty checks?

We check your VIN for open recalls and extended coverage on every Hyundai before recommending engine work.

What we check

Open recalls  ·  Extended warranties  ·  Service history

What we do

If it's covered, we tell you — and point you to the right place.

Not sure what's wrong with your Hyundai?

Tell us what it's doing when you book. We diagnose before we repair, and you approve the work before we start.
