Hyundai/Kia Theta Engine Inspection Essentials
The Hyundai Theta engine appeared in 2006 Sonata models and is going strong to this day in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms in various Hyundai and Kia applications. The one area of the engine that has been the source of more TSBs and tech tips has been the bottom end of the engine and lubrication system.
Hyundai Turbocharged Theta And Gamma Engines: Maintenance And Minimizing Damage
Hyundai has two four-cylinder engines that use a turbocharger. The Gamma and Theta turbocharged engines were introduced in 2010 for many Hyundai cars and trucks. These engines also have direct injection, which makes them even more efficient. Knowing the basics of how all turbocharged systems work can serve you well in solving problems with turbo-equipped Hyundais. A good scan tool that can graph boost pressure and a smoke machine can also improve diagnostic procedures.
Hyundai Tech Tip: Engine Vibration Due To Misaligned Timing Marks On The Oil Pump
This bulletin provides information regarding the proper indexing of the timing marks of the Oil Pump Module during in-vehicle installation on vehicles equipped with Theta four-cylinder engines. If the Oil Pump Module timing marks are improperly indexed, abnormal engine vibration may result. Follow the service information outlined in this bulletin whenever a new or existing Oil Pump/Balance Shaft Module (BSM) is being installed.
Understanding Hyundai TPMS
Hyundai TPMS has an auto relearn function, but if a shop is initializing a sensor or doing a manual relearn, you will need a TPMS tool that can capture the sensor IDs and program them into the TPMS module.
Hyundai Showcases Self-Driven Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle
A fleet of Hyundai’s next-generation fuel-cell electric cars has completed a 190-kilometer (118-mile) journey from Seoul to Pyeongchang, the automaker said. The journey marks the first time that a fuel-cell electric car has achieved Level 4 autonomous driving at such a long distance and at speeds up to 110 kmh (68 mph), according to Hyundai.
Timing Chains In Hyundai Engines
Although Hyundai uses a single timing belt on its 2.7L V6 engines, its 3.3L, double-overhead camshaft engine is equipped with one timing chain for each camshaft and one drive chain for the oil pump. At first glance, a timing chain design allows engineers to shorten the overall length of the engine and reduce rotating friction.
