Unless you already know how to do this, pay a professional. Do it wrong and you will have engine damage when you try to start the engine.
The 2002 Sonata has a timing belt. Timing chains were not introduced until 2006 Sonata.
No a 2002 Hyundai Sonata does not have two timing belts. There is only one timing belt in the car. The timing belt replacement kit will include another belt but it is the balance shaft belt not a second timing belt.
Not a bad idea to replace both at the same time
Inside the timing case with the timing belt and balance shaft belt.
you should replace the timing belt around 60k miles. That's whats recommended by the manufacturer.
2002 and up four cylinders have a timing chain no belt.
there is no timing belt -- only a timing chain that does not need to be replaced
It has a timing chain, not belt.
I am looking to replace my timing belt on my 2002 Ford svt focus. I need a diagram or step by step process.
There are two serpentine belts a/c timing etc. and alternator just release belt tensioner towards front of motor for outer belt and the secnd tensioner is located on the alternator
Timing BELT because I have changed once and mine was a 2003 so I am sure it is since I haven't heard of a timing chain car in Hyundai.
The 2011 sonata does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain. Both engines have timing chains. The timing belts were last used on the 2006 model.
