Your engine is the most complex part of your Hyundai. Its countless components and numerous interdependent systems require regular servicing to keep it operating efficiently. In time, worn or damaged parts will lead to engine problems. As your Hyundai dealer, we can easily and effectively fix any possible problem for you. These are some examples of problems you might encounter.
3 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Hyundai Dealer
Broken Radiator Fan
The radiator’s job is to remove engine heat. Coolant flows through your engine and absorbs heat and then transports it to the radiator. The coolant enters rows of tubes in the radiator, and the heat inside the coolant is removed by air flowing over the tubes. This system works very effectively when your car is moving, as large amounts of air will flow in via the radiator grille.
If your car is idling, a different method is used to remove the heat. A fan at the rear of the radiator switches on and blows across the back of the tubes. This forces the heat out of the coolant and blows it out via the radiator grille. The fan can fail due to age, damage, a blown fuse, or other reasons. If the fan doesn’t work, your engine will rapidly overheat when your car is idling. We’ll examine the fan and repair the problem.
Engine Knocking
Fuel and air are mixed in the intake manifold in a precise ratio. Your engine requires more air than fuel, and the perfect ratio for your engine is 14:1 air to fuel. When the mixture is correct, it will burn in a controlled and progressive manner. The burning produces shockwaves in your engine and generates the power used to move your car.
If you hear a strange knocking sound from the engine, this is a sign of trouble. The noise is caused because the fuel is burning irregularly. When this happens, it produces random shockwaves which make a knocking sound. This problem could be caused by worn spark plugs, carbon buildup in the intake manifold, or the wrong octane gas. We’ll investigate the cause of the problem and fix it.
Oil Leaks
Your engine’s health and efficiency depend on a continual flow of high-quality oil. Oil lubricates your engine, reduces its internal heat, and helps protect the engine against rust and blockages. An oil leak is a serious problem, as a lack of oil can cause major engine damage.
Oil could leak onto the ground, where it forms a pool of yellow, brown, or black liquid. Oil can also leak into your engine, where it turns the exhaust smoke blue. In either circumstance, the most important thing is to repair the problem ASAP. We can trace a leak and permanently seal it for you.
