You're correct, Matt. Both the '06 Sonata engines are chain driven.

Re: timing belt or timing chain?
I've never done a Sedona belt, but it's the same engine as the XG, and the
access in the Sedona looks even worse than the XG's. |

Except that most timing chains (well, speaking for American engines - I don't have experience with European designs) will last the life of the rest of the engine. By the time the timing chain is shot, it is time for a complete overhaul anway. My Chrysler minivan had 178,000 miles on it when totaled and the engine was still running fine with all of its original internal components. Matt |

It appears that the clearance between the body and the pulleys is about 1.5"! The Sonata seems to have a fair bit of room in front of and behind the engine, but little on the pulley end of the engine. If one had to remove a drive pully, I don't think there is even room to get a socket on the nut or bolt. A combination wrench will fit, but it is hard to install a nut or bolt to a given torque using a combination wrench! Fortunately, I can now afford to hire most of my repair work done, but I still do my own basic maintenance and enjoy doing repairs when I have the proper tools and time. Matt |

Re: timing belt or timing chain?
I have an '03 Santa Fe. I must say I love the car and have had no trouble
with it. However it just reached 60K miles so I had the timing belt and all other belts replaced by the dealer. With tax it came out to be a little under $500.00. I have had the same work done on Hondas and for about $400.00 I get the timing belt and a new water pump. -- Paul "yat70458" <ejleche@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:DJhyf.13$Tc.11@bignews7.bellsouth.net... > I was reading an earlier thread about when to change out the timing belt. > > Please excuse my ignorance...I am not a Hyundai owner yet but am seriously > considering the Tucson or Sante Fe.
