Using A SCREWDRIVER To Test For ROD KNOCK On The $1,500 Hyundai Veloster

  • Do you have a long screwdriver? That and a ratchet are the only tools you need to test an engine for rod knock or failure once the plugs are out. In the last 2012 Hyundai Veloster video it seemed like we might just get away with fixing a faulty timing chain tensioner on the 1.6L Gamma engine. About half the comments agreed that it's likely timing and it was a relatively common failure. The other half promised it was rod knock so I wanted to go back and check. Today we decide the cheap Veloster's future, pull the entire side of the engine off, or just swap the entire engine.

And when taking off in first its not a manual , the first gear only jerks a bit to start and tou have to gradually touch the gas if you don't want to feel that rev without rhe feel of speed until the second gear kicks in and smoothly shifts into all of the gears. So the knock up front and first gear is only concearn....hope you get a chance to read this and understand my problem....you guys are GREAT AND EDUCATIONAL FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER .

I had to swap a couple over at the shop I worked at due to same issue and noise and was piston slap on two cylinders and the other bad wrist pin and rod, took piston out and was loosey-goosey. Did same trick pretty much just tap the top of the piston and turn over motor. I got lucky and found a good motor with only 5k miles on it for about $500 at local junk yard.

    Jr, a better way to test or to confirm is to just disconnect injectors one by one. If knocking stops when you disconnect the injector, then that's very likely the cylinder with bad bearings. The screw driver method isn't always reliable. I had a car pass "screw driver test" but it was still knocking.

    Those might be coming QQH soon. In other words, Hyundai knows there's a problem with those engines and they will extend the warranty on them to past 100k miles. Just look at the YF sonata. Anyways, it might be worth a shot taking it in to the dealership. Hyundai might approve it

    How involved is replacing the entire engine in the veloster. I've got a 2013 that's got a similar problem, so likely engine replacement is more cost effective.

  • @gosportjamie
    @gosportjamie 5 років тому

    Well, that engine's toast then. But you can probably recoup a large chunk of the cost of the replacement by selling the head off this one, IF it proves to be OK. Somehow I suspect this car's issues might relate to poor maintenance...
