Goodbye 01 Sonata hello Kia Optima
No more questions for the hyundai tech it was one of the best cars I've
had.I bought a 06 Optima same 2.4 litre engine and I understand no rubber timing belt! This engine is literally a little race horse combined with a very responsive 5 speed automatic. |

Re: Goodbye 01 Sonata hello Kia Optima
this is a 2006 and 1/2 year model kia and it has no rubber belt and no
chain it has a timing gear! The first thing I ask the Kia mechanic.before I bought the car there is no belt cover and the drive belts are exposed like some other cars. The 6 cylinder does have a belt. |

Re: Goodbye 01 Sonata hello Kia Optima
Looking at www.kia.com and www.hyundaiusa.com, the 2.4 in the your Optima
seems to be the same one that's used in the '06 and newer Sonatas. All the listed specs are the same, but I cannot find any mention of the method of camshaft drive on the Kia. My guess is that it's basically the same car as the '06 Sonata 2.4. So you won't need to leave. |
