Indys and dealers in southern Colo are at least 30 days outI think everyone is pretty booked up. At least around here. People keeping their stuff longer.

Yeah, that was loooong time ago. That being said, VW was first folksy brand to offer dual clutch at the end pf 90’s. The question is: how other brand, after 25yrs of know-how, can’t learn from other manufacturers mistakes?VWs dsg wears out the clutches eventually and the dual mass flywheel gets hammered on the TDIs and starts rattling
Hyundai can’t afford those transmissions.How does bmw, audi, and others manage to have no issues with their dct transmissions yet Hyundai does?
Yeah the newest TDI i worked on is a 2013 i think. CJAA diesel and the dual mass flywheel was now just 2 flywheels that clattered together.Yeah, that was loooong time ago.

Oh so kia did a ford powershift thing.It's the dry clutches. They have weak manual transmission clutches aswell. The composition of the clutch material got changed for the dct to reduce the issues, but the transmission needs reprogrammed aswell or it's undriveable.

I heard H/K management has their fingers in the engine manufacturing part of things and make money on the replacement engines as well so there is no incentive from the top to fix the problem. Not sure where I heard that so may be tinfoil hat fodder.
That sounds like an availability/dealer issueNever ever have I got a complete replacement engine from Hyundai. We needed to strip it down, and order the damaged parts piece by piece and assemble (potentially) a whole new engine.
I did once manage to get a complete short block, rather than a casting, seperate crack, rods pistons, bearing, freeze plugs etc....
I should be able to tell if our old heads and intake are on a new block once we get the Sonata back. I'm also curious if the starter will get replaced, as we tried cranking multiple times. My mechanic didn't believe it would be seized until we pulled the serpentine belt off and tried turning it by hand. It would crank a very small amount with a fully charged booster pack, but that was it.That sounds like an availability/dealer issue
Long blocks exist
That doesn't mean they're available unfortunately
I watched them put one in a 2020 Elantra
What are you working on today?
Two post holes. One took near two hours. Don't ask. Built a rolling stand for my new table saw. Which I need to shim. I didn't even realize the metal stand part does not sit flat, plus one of my 2x6's is slightly twisted (wish I would have caught that) no biggie doh. Nice having a planer.bobistheoilguy.com
Anecdotally, Theta II seems to get short blocks, Nu and Gamma have increased odds of getting a long block
105K, that's a good start.Like ABS? BCM? ECM? What ones are you talking about? The 2000 and 2005 have all that stuff too? Like the touch screen? The Malibu is at 105,000 miles and is LTZ has all that lane departure stuff. That car has not been back to dealer for anything. I am not sure I understand. Remember my job is based off repairing and troubleshooting electronics on Submarines. Like you can clean an inspect your connections, keep the cars parked inside, make sure they are not getting inundated with moisture. I guess I could have worded it better since you can't open all of the modules on any car.
Hyundai makes good autos.Hyundai can’t afford those transmissions.
If you look from appliance perspective, maybe. Just saying that in context here.Hyundai makes good autos.
Well they are better than what Ford makes. A car is an appliance. They make great 6 and 8 speeds autos for the Genesis .If you look from appliance perspective, maybe. Just saying that in context here.
That is the key statement. Every manufacture builds crap engines nowadays. Technology has nothing to do with it, its all about cheap cheap cheap. The goal is build the item for maybe a manufacturing cost of $200. max and then charge $6,000. to $20,000. or more for it.I dont understand how with todays technology they can build a bad engine.

The RWD transmissions by Hyundai/Kia seem to be good, they must've learned a thing or two from ZF autos that they used prior to 2012 in the Genesis.Well they are better than what Ford makes. A car is an appliance. They make great 6 and 8 speeds autos for the Genesis .
Engines built for $200?That is the key statement. Every manufacture builds crap engines nowadays. Technology has nothing to do with it, its all about cheap cheap cheap. The goal is build the item for maybe a manufacturing cost of $200. max and then charge $6,000. to $20,000. or more for it.
Not sure what a complete H/K engine cost is but something like a Mercedes can be into the $50k or more range, oh and still a very low manufacturing cost, all the rest is profit.
