A news flash for all of you non-mechanics who own a Hyandai Elantra/ Accent. That ticking he speaks of has to do with the valve train, which is in the top on end the engine. The valve train is run by the camshafts, not the crankshaft (crank is in the bottom end and controls the piston movement). A bad crankshaft would result in a servers knocking/ banging sound which would destroy your engine very quickly, look up engine knocks if you don’t believe me. My girlfriend and I own a 2013 Accent 125k miles with the same “issue”. I’ve done multiple oil changes and diagnosed the whole drivetrain a few times with no codes. The ticking (or pecking as he calls it) is most likely a lifter/ valve tick, very common in older Subarus. Every vehicle & driver are different, but for the most part this is not a major issue. Stay up to date on your oil changes and make sure it’s full, a small engine running low on oil is most likely deprived of the lubrication it needs to run smoothly. Valve train ticking is very common, hopefully this helped someone. Good luck to all
Mine did the same. Cold starts mostly. But occasionally all the time. I keep up on the oil changes and i took that thing on 2 road trips. From WA state to Michigan and back. Also from WA state to SLC, then Vegas, then Reno and back to WA. Never overheated, never had one issue. Traded it in after paying it off for a real nice BMW..... FML. Issues from day One.
my 2012 elantra has gone 409,000 miles with no engine problems ,it only needed a timing chain tensioner ay 283,000 miles it still has the original water pump! You can make them last this long if you know what your doing . trans. got replaced at 329,000 miles ,a salvage unit with 43,000 miles only cost 250.00 put it in my self ,the paint still looks like new .I think it's the best Asian car on the market .i don't baby it , it gets hammered hard every day yes it is starting to use a little oil about a qt. every 8000 miles nothing wrong with that.
thank you JOHN for your comment, wow that is so impressive to me, i just hope that mine gets half of those miles that yours had got. i had my engine replaced a month ago, after only 77k miles ,but its started knocking at a very young age if you know what i mean.good part is HYUNDAI paid for the new motor block. i kn ow theres good and bad in everything you my friend found a nugget, god bless,
Thanks for this video. I have a 2011 Elantra with 140k miles. Second owner. It has the same sound yours have on a cold start and I took it to a dealership who then contacted Hyundai USA. They refused to do anything about the engine.
thank you for your comment, this does not surprise me, like i say its all about the money, hyundai makes a lemon and refuse to pick up the tab, im sorry, i would stay on there back until they pay up, keep calling the company, god bless,
Hey great video I have I 2012 Hyundai Elantra touring with 226,000 kilometres (about 140,000 miles) haven’t had these problems yet but I definitely hear the engine knocking I live in Canada and it’s been really loud this winter I’ll look into more thank you for the information
thank you ROBERT for your comment, as i say to everyone that owns an ELANTRA. call your dealership and say HEY MY CAR IS KNOCKING. DO IT TODAY MY FRIEND,god bless,
@@godgunsandkenny My boss called our Hyundai dealership I work for Dodge and they said its 150k and 15 year warranty so I indeed with 115k get a new engine!
its very interesting. when i get a fresh oil change it will go away until im half way to another oil change. Definitely gets worse the colder weather you get into. the motor has 135k M and still running strong i guess well see how long it will do so
thank you for your comment, if i may ask, why does your 2011 have a 2012 motor? anyway if i were you my friend i would call hyundai imediately, and say my engine is knocking, good luck and god bless,
In my vicinity, there is a 2012 Elantra GLS up for sale with 170k miles priced at $4k. Since the car is high mileage, I wonder if the engine problems would have already showed up by now.
thank you my friend for your comment, wow, if the engine problems have not showed up yet you get bet there not far away.if if i was in the market to buy a used car. i myself would avoid this one, no way, toooooo MUCH OF A RISK, god bless,

Hi i just got to your video as i research my 2013 elantra engine. I feel like i am noticing this knock now at 113k miles. Do you know if this is only for original owner? I research and saw they are siting only cold weather states are involved. I am in az so not sure if i should still try and call the dealer.
Thank you my friend for sharing I appreciate it, yes I would still give them a call I mean you never know, you just might get lucky,I gotta tell you I would never buy another one never 👎 good luck with it my friend god bless,🙏🙏
@@godgunsandkenny did you end up getting rid of yours? Did the new engine last? I bought mine used in 2015 and never seemed to have issues until this year.

I just hear a tapping and I'm noticing possible small loss of mpg. I'm taking it in to my local independent mechanic first and see what they say. But I'll probably also call dealer.

Hi Kenny, thank you for this video! I also own a Hyundai Elantra, mine is a 2011. It has 143,000 miles on it and I've had it for a little over a year. (I'm the second owner). I also got this letter in the mail, but when I put in my VIN number on the website they told me my car was not qualified. My engine has had the ticking noise since I bought it, and is now getting even worse! It's starting to sound like I'm driving a diesel truck. I brought it into my local mechanic and they told me I would have to get a new engine. I'm wondering what work you got done on your Elantra, and if it solved your problems. I've been looking everywhere for answers. Thank you for your time!
thank you very much for your comment,i wish i had some answers for you, right now my car in in the shop. they checked it out and told me i needed a new engine. mine only has 77k miles on it, on a really cold morning the motor had a bad knock but shop said they would fix it for FREE. its been 3weeks i'm just waiting to hear from them at the shop.i have a friend that had a hyundia the engine locked up ouch ouch, the dealership did tell me that you must be the first owner to qualifie for a new motor, hey i would read that LETTER AGAIN , there might still be something you can do. to get a new motor, god bless
thank you for your coomment, trust me you are not the only one having this prob, i think the best thing to do is call hyundai back and tell them the prob, they might have put the old sparks plugs back in the new engine, hope this helps, god bless,

@@godgunsandkenny Yeah, I had to get the lower part of my engine replaced as well. Sorry, I'm not that familiar with car terminology. For the start up problem, there was build up on the flaps that control flow to the engine that caused trouble when starting the car. I had to give it gas to get it to start up.
thanks again ERIK for your comment, its ok my friend theres nothing to be sorry about here.i mean this is a matter of life and death for the hyundai elantra, this is a serious prob for ppl that own one like you and i. you make a good point about the oil flow to the motor,but so many ppl dont understand thanks god bless,
thank you for your comment, i'm really not sure, but it might depend on which state or country you or i might live in. but ofcourse its a hyundai no matter where its bought, but how would an australian model be different?? god bless
@@godgunsandkenny think there are 2013 Elantras out there that will last without major problems has to be. hope im one of those. i have my 2013 limited bought new don't drive much 40,000 miles no issues except one check engine light p0301.p0456 both easy fixes just the computer doing its job as expected. i live in hot Las Vegas this might be good for the Hyundai no real cold starts. engine is quiet and shifts and drives very strong. But all said i need to watch and listen for changes and hopefully sell the car before it blows.

Wrong, these year Hyundai's have a piston slap issue.

thanks again ERIK for your comment, its ok my friend theres nothing to be sorry about here.i mean this is a matter of life and death for the hyundai elantra, this is a serious prob for ppl that own one like you and i. you make a good point about the oil flow to the motor,but so many ppl dont understand thanks god bless,
That actually sounds more like the tensioner
THANKS KEVIN FOR SHARING I APPRECIATE IT, I AGREE, GOD BLESS,
Does this apply to australian model?
thank you for your comment, i'm really not sure, but it might depend on which state or country you or i might live in. but ofcourse its a hyundai no matter where its bought, but how would an australian model be different?? god bless
@@godgunsandkenny think the Korean made engines are ok, the Alabama engines are bad.
THANKS FRANK, HOW CAN ONE TELL THE DIFFERENCE? I THOUGHT THEY ALL ARE DUDS,
@@godgunsandkenny think there are 2013 Elantras out there that will last without major problems has to be. hope im one of those. i have my 2013 limited bought new don't drive much 40,000 miles no issues except one check engine light p0301.p0456 both easy fixes just the computer doing its job as expected. i live in hot Las Vegas this might be good for the Hyundai no real cold starts. engine is quiet and shifts and drives very strong. But all said i need to watch and listen for changes and hopefully sell the car before it blows.
