at 18.00 mins that was a good tip to check there is no 'blue ' gasket material protruding beyond the edges of the cover ,,,,,but vid failed to show sequence of tightening down the valve cover bolts and the torque specs
Thank you. Your video is very clear on direction and explanation of what and where. I have two vehicles with the 3.3L (07-Sonata and 08-Santa Fe) and while the dealership changed them both out they did a crappy job and they are leaking again.
The Sonata had the alternator destroyed because the leak got to it and I don't want to go through that again so I'm going to have to do them myself since the mechanics at the dealership left bolts out, bolts loose, some hoses disconnected and broken plastic parts right and left in the engine compartment.
About five years ago I stopped doing my own wrenching because I had to much stuff to do and not enough time but I cannot allow them to work on my stuff anymore since they have no pride in their workmanship.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I completely understand, I also got taken advantage of at the dealership. They charge high prices on parts and charge a ridiculous fee on labor. They performed a poor job on my car years ago and I never went back. It might be time consuming if you do it yourself, but atleast you know you car is getting high maintenance on your time/hands. Our sonatas can last for a very long time if you keep up the maintenance. Best of luck Lost One! Cheers
like you I have an 06 Sonata and an 06 Tuscon ...helps that similarities of design and make, gave me confidence to work on them ...save $$$$ and avoid dealerships that rip you off .
If you can't tackle this job you can use CRC Lectra motive or CRC lectra clean on your alternator with an oil pan under it. I stock up when 2 for 1. One to three cans can get the alternator brand new. I'm at 105k miles and have an upper valve leak for years and every few months I clean my alternator. My car runs at 14.4 but not with the 3600 watt system going. Cars been in the family since new and I've saved her many times.
Niice! Good thinking. I’ll look into CRC lectra. Thanks for the tip
I just did alternator today. That alternator connector comes out super easy when you squeeze the tab with pliers and pull
Absolutely!!! Cheers on that!!
Thank you for making a clear and easy to follow video. I was able to work on my own car just by following you step by step.
Thats awesome to hear! Thank you for your kind words, Rebecca
@@NuMBERNYC I followed your video and was able to change my valve cover gaskets and intake plenum gasket. Also the new pcv valve i bought same as yours was making a hissing sound so i put back the old one. At the end i broke one valve cover outer bolt but will have a welder get it out soon. Every other thing was successful thanks to your video.
THANK YOU!! Just Finished
Awesome!!! Cheers
Good video I just bought the same car had a lean code but I plan on changing spark plugs soon but was really worried about getting to the back 3 taking off the exhaust penam them I gotta figure out why I have a lean code thanks for the video good work
Congrats on the car! You’re going to love it. Great car if you maintain it well. Cheers!
VERY helpful! Thanks dude. Randomly mines leaking from the exact same spot.
Mines leaking onto the alternator from this same leak! Thank you!
@@beauphillips2955 so too is mine, same spot .. and onto alternator ..I feel the dab of ultra black RTV gasket maker likley reacts with the rubber gasket ....or could be that the valve cover is at an angle and that spot is the lowest so oil pools there ..i also feel (suggest ) that Hyuindai should put like a small " alternator cover plate " to deflect oil from falling into the alternator .....but that would reduce sales of alternators ,,!!!,,,so go figure !!...question for you :..?? how best do i clean up the oil on the outside of the alternator ??
Great video man, I'm about to dive into this early on my 08 limited ..just started seeing oil on the alt .. I'm only at 68,000 Miles tho , hopefully nice and early ..thanks for being so clear in your instruction , I was worried ..not now 😂
I have an 07 with a 3.8L with 360,000 miles. My alternator gave out as I was driving. Thank God I live in a small town and there wasn't a lot of traffic. Has this happened 2 days earlier when I was in Detroit rush hour traffic people would have been seriously injured.
The Azera is the only model they didn't issue a recall for on the gasket issue and even those who have the sonatas that were recalled had multiple failures even after having service done.
I found that a lot of Hyundai vehicles from 2006- 2009 have gasket issues
186k on our 3.3l sonata. She's a 2007 model. I'm about to be doing the valve cover gaskets, because the leaking oil caused the alternator to stop charging.
Great video. Thank you for including my car Year 2007 HyundaI Sonata V6, so hard to find this info. I have oil leaking in my alternator, again! First in Dec. 2015 and replaced the alternator. And now, possibly, once again in May 2022 and my alternator is gunked up with dirt and oil. Is there a way to clean up the alternator. I dare not try to do it myself (of course) but hope to see my local mechanic, who is very honest & trustworthy to make the repair. I'm a hands-on kind of gal but this is a bit too involved for me. ☺️
Thank ya thank ya
It is the head not the valve. Not a big deal but for those that don't know a valve cover mates to the head.
Would the 4cl Sonata 2008 be a similar process? I got oil in my spark plugs so I want to change the valve cover gaskets and get some oem or bosch spark plugs
The 4cly is a lot easier because it has less bolts and spark plugs to remove
Did it take care of the oil leak not getting to alternator? I have to do this because my alternator went out because it was covered in oil.
Sorry to hear Marco. Yes, if your alternator is covered in oil (depending for how long it was covered) it may be over. You may have to get new alternator. I had some oil on mine but it wasn't bad. The very first sign of oil leaking to the alternator would be that burning plastic smell. once you get the smell, you need to fix the leak asap. Best of luck, Marco
When you put on the ultra black did you wait any time before tightening the bolts or starting the car? I feel like you won’t have to but it says wait
i would not wait ...1 to 3 mins max ...for you want the RTV Ultra black to dry and set in place before it gets too hard and the valve cover can't compress it
Good job and thank you sooooo much for all that explanation it is really useful ... and please i wish if you can tell me if i can remove catalytic converter from my sonata because i believe they both almost closed and damaged , so can i remove them and do i have to reprogram the computer of car after that ???
Thank you Doom Karter. I would highly suggest to speak with a professional Mechanic to remove the catalytic converter as you will need specific tools/machinery. And yes you will need to reprogram. I wish you the best on your sonata. Sonatas are beautiful cars
@@NuMBERNYC Yes it is a beautiful car and really appreciate your replay very much , thank you so much sir✌😊
14:49 😂
is the intro Gooey by Glass Animals? LOL
Lol yes you got it
What is the name of the spoiler/wing that you have
its a stock spoiler. I got it along time ago on ebay.
good afternoon friend, I have a hyundai sonata year 2006 3.3 v6, the problem it presents is that it takes time to start, you have to give it a long time or the second or third time it starts, and sometimes it starts fast and the accelerator is zero. What can I do and change spark plugs, ignition coils and injectors??
If you are having a hard time to start, check how old your battery is, then check the starter relay (in the fuse box) see if it needs to be replaced. If it is good, then check your starter.
So you just skipped the part i was wanting to learn about , great ! and the other part where you have to deal with the radiator hose , and all the electrical clips , and how to save( clean )the alternator that it leaked on and wether or not to check the rocker arm rod clearance . Nor the price of the 75$gasket , I suppose the gasket scraped itself off ? What a crock.
The blue gaskets failed after a couple of years, i now have the genuine ones installed and they are thicker and seem better made.
Can you tell me which gasket is the best? I want to fix it once and never have to deal with it again at least for next 2 years.
So the front is the “Left” side correct??
Yes that is correct
@@NuMBERNYC thanks! I found individual ones on rock auto but making sure it’s the left side lol
@@NuMBERNYC so let me ask, just to clarify : in the box you get two gaskets ??.. and one is "left" and other" right " ??... and the left one goes on the front valve cover , correct ?..
@@antonjames8405 yup
Do u need to take the injectors out if your just doing the gasket
Yes you may. Following the steps makes it easier and safer to do maintenance on your car
He called the coil packs injectors they are coil packs on top of the spark plugs not injectors
Another note on the coils. They're all the same, so if you mix them up it doesn't matter
