I have a 2001 Tiburon with the DOHC 2.0 and had the exact same problem. Turned out that the intake gasket was leaking. I found this out by spraying brake cleaner around where the intake bolts to the head on the backside of the engine. When you spray it more than likely it will burn white smoke out of the exhaust and possibly change the way it runs. I change the gasket myself but I'm also a mechanic so if your not comfortable attempting to replace the gasket I would take it to a shop.
The manual transmission in a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon requires 2.3 quarts of gear oil.
its in your owners manual
It should say in your owners manual.
Listed in your owner's manual.
87 or higher but the manual says 91
I have a 2004 hyundai tiburon gt an di used two bottles of hyundai manual transmission fluid just like the dealer said. i got it from the dealer and i specifically asked them if two is enough and they said yes. but my gears are hard to shift i dont know why.
it recommends regular in the owners manual but premium should give you a little extra horsepower.
It's a big job and you'll need a service manual to find all the right disconnects and fasteners.
remove the side plug and fill til it runs out the same hole, get a pump from auto zone, couple bucks.
The total fill capacity for a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon is 8.2 quarts (including the fluid inside the torque converter). However for just a drain/fluid change, it will probably require about half that amount. If you still have the owner's manual, that would be a good place to look. The fluid capacities should be listed. If not, try calling the parts or service department of your local Hyundai dealer.
Owners manual says: with filter change 4.5 U.S. qts. (4.3 liter) without filter - 4.2 U.S. qts. (4.0 liter)
Hi there is a manual available for 1998 through to 2005 Tiburon, if you do not mind having it on CD. I have just ordered one from fixyourcar2008 from eBay it was $9.99 AUD , I have also came accross some hard copy manuals as well but they seem to be very expensive. Cheers Sus
