Elantra timing belt question for HyundaiTech
 

My daughters 2002 Elantra is coming up shortly on 60000 miles. I recall
HyundaiTech stating that a Hyundai Belt was required (to keep the warranty
good) and that he didn't recommend replacing the water pump at this time.
Is there any other component, like idler or balance shaft belt, that should
be replaced to maintain the warranty? The local dealer has quoted me $400
to replace the belt, but I forgot to ask what all that includes. Hopefully
it includes the belt. I intend to buy accessory belt(s) and ask them to use
them when they reassemble everything. I haven't looked yet, so I don't know
how many there are (1 or 2). thanks
Bill

400$ is very expensive for just the timing belt.

Had my 2001 done at my local dealer(Montreal QC) 275$ cdn.

There's nothing else you'd need to change on the '02 Elantra. Your dealer
may appreciate you a little more if you ask them to install the (3)drive
belts rather than bringing aftermarkets. And don't be afraid to shop
around. The price here for this job is about $450, but as I've said
before, our prices tend to be on the high end. Just make certain that a
factory belt is used.

Although not required, it is a good idea to replace the tensioner and
the idler pulley. A lot of people go ahead and replace the water pump,
the cam seal, the belt tensioner, the drive belts and the idler pulley
too. Mainly because the labor cost is cheaper to get it all done at
one time and some people have had failures soon after the timing belt
was done. It will be expensive to have those replaced if they fail
after the belt is done. I was quoted $745 for parts and labor (and
free rental car) at a dealer in Sacramento, CA.

If he's the original owner, the water pump is still covered by the 10/100
powertrain warranty. This engine doesn't have a hydraulic tensioner. In
my experience, the failure rate of the tensioner pulleys is low, but
they're not powertrain items, so if they do fail, the customer would be
responsible for all parts/labor costs.

Is it really cheaper for the owner? Around here they flat rate
everything. Because that assumes the only task being done is the
listed item the dealer and mechanic make out but not the end user.
