Hello, a Hyundai needs a timing belt fitted every six years or so, and with a Hyundai they don't use chains, they use belts because the car gets better performance.

My car has the same problem with the windows, they don't stay up and when it rains the 93 Scoupe gets water in it.

Also I have to put oil in it every 2 days, at least two quarts.

When my timing belt snapped all my valves got messed up and I had to pay almost 800 dollars to get the mess taken care of.

Other than that, there is really nothing wrong with the car.

Ahmad, if you are putting that much oil into it, its probably the rear main seal dis-located itself. Honda Civics have the same problem. I encountered it and got it fixed.

What is it with the electric windows in these cars?? Both of my windows seem to have a mind of their own! For some reason, the windows go down fine until half way, and then go really slow. When I try to put them up it is like watching paint dry, and they go up on a weird angle and need to be "encouraged". I think the little holder things inside must be broken as-well as the electrics being bad. Other than the windows though, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

Hey People I heard that you are having problems with the windows being really slow.. I have encountered this problem and found out that there is weather stripping that goes down into the door.. and when it gets old which all the scoupes are it breaks and when you try to roll up the window it catches and stuff... so yeah we are cheap and cut that piece of weather stripping off which ended up working pretty well... all you haveto do is push back on the window untill its at about the half way up position or it sometimes sticks.. but yeah new weather stripping is gonna come soon.

Wow what a car... well that's what I thought when I bought it as a first car. Since I have had it it has just been a constant problem from having to replace the shocks to fixing the dodgy electric windows that apparently just break without warning. The performance of this car is actually quite good, but the rest of the car has a lot to improve. I'm selling this as soon as I can and buying a holden commodore. Honestly I can't wait to get rid of it!!!
