DIY car repair Hyundai accent

History of the first Hyundai Accent

The optimal combination of "price-quality", fairly average consumer properties and unremarkable, but at the same time and does not cause negative emotions design. This combination is quite capable of ensuring success in the market, as, for example, in the case of the first generation Hyundai Accent.

The most massive model of Hyundai, named Accent, began to be produced in 1994, and five years later the second generation was offered to buyers. Due to its low price and good combination of consumer qualities, this car has settled in the markets of many countries, including the Russian one. This material will touch upon the features of only the first generation of the model, but about the second Accent, which is in some way a domestic product (its assembly was established in Taganrog), we will tell you later.

Hyundai Accent was available in several body styles: the four-door sedan, which has received the most widespread, as well as three- and five-door hatchbacks, which are rare in our country.

The exterior of the model is made in the “biodesign” style that prevailed in the first half of the 90s, so it’s probably no longer possible to call the exterior of the car modern.

In the bodywork range, in addition to the most common sedan (below), there were also hztchbacks. The three-door (top) has a coupe-like silhouette

A few words about corrosion: during long-term operation in our climate, a car can rust through the oil pan, which will manifest itself as an engine oil leak. Also, the thrust washer of the front stabilizer bar rots through and through, as a result of which it falls into the lever, but this does not lead to anything fatal, except for the termination of "stabilization".

The salon corresponds to the price category of the car - everything is simple, no frills. The fit of the panels is mediocre. and after a while they begin to creak and tap. A significant number of cars have a rather meager level of equipment, in which the list of "stuffing" is limited to a hydraulic booster and a driver's airbag (and that, as a rule, on "Europeans"). It is not uncommon for even the outside mirror of the rear forks to be installed on the left side only. At the same time, the top komplektiii GLS have air conditioning, ABS, power accessories and, as an option, an automatic transmission. Regardless of the configuration, there is a steering wheel tilt adjustment, as well as a driver's seat height adjustment.

Electrical problems

The boot capacity is not high, and the fact that the back of the rear seat folds only entirely in most of the specimens also does not contribute to the convenience when transporting bulky goods. The "salon" troubles include failures of the central lock and electric windows, breakage of door locks and ignition and their keys. For cars equipped with air conditioning, you should make sure that this system is working, because the radiator-evaporator and the clutch. usually do not live longer than five years.

Unlike other models of the company, on which power units developed by Mitsubishi were often used, Accent was equipped exclusively with engines of its own, Korean production. The range includes only gasoline four-cylinder units of 1.3 liters (60-85 hp depending on the power system, the carburetor was used in early copies) and 1.5 liters (90-99 hp), on which it was installed both a twelve-valve cylinder head and a six-valve.In carburetor versions, with age, the power supply system begins to deliver various troubles, because numerous mechanical parts in the carburetor wear out, and it becomes impossible to achieve the correct operation of this yxia. As for the resource, the motors reach up to 200 thousand during normal operation, and then often the turn of the "capital" comes, but this operation is quite affordable. In order not to know the problems with the engines, one must not forget to update the timing belt and its tension roller every 60 thousand km, as well as monitor the condition of the cooling system pipes, which often crack and burst, which leads to overheating.

The model was equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-band "automatic". "Mechanics" does not differ in reliability and often requires a bulkhead after 100 thousand km. So if you can hear a howl out of the box of a vending specimen, even if it is not strong, then you need to understand that this is nothing more than a "death song" of shaft bearings. The "automaton" is considered to be more tenacious, although it is possible that due to its lower prevalence, a sufficient amount of negative information has not been accumulated on it. Even during a test drive, it is advisable to understand the serviceability of the clutch, because its incorrect operation is often associated not with wear of the disc, but with defects in the clutch cylinder, which is especially often observed in cars manufactured in 1997-1998.

The model was launched in 1994. It was offered with sedan, three- and five-door hatchback bodies and was equipped with petrol four-cylinder engines: 1.3 l (60-75 hp) and 1.5 l (90 hp), which were aggregated with a five-speed manual box or a four-speed "automatic" ...

The second generation Hyundai Accent debuted in 1999

In 1995, a new version of the 1.3-liter engine with 84 hp appeared, and a passenger airbag was included as standard (for the European market). At the same time, a sports version of the GT was presented. equipped with a 1.5-liter 99-horsepower engine. In 1997, a facelift was carried out: headlights, bumpers and taillights were changed. In 1999, the second generation of the model debuted. The exterior and interior have been radically redesigned, while the main elements of the body frame and suspension. the engine and transmission have not changed. Nevertheless, the car has grown significantly in all dimensions. Currently, only Russian-assembled sedans equipped with a 1.5-liter 102-horsepower engine, produced in Taganrog, are sold by official dealers.

In 2003, a small modernization was carried out. as a result of which the front bumper and radiator grill have changed.

Most of the engines were injection engines, their intake systems are quite reliable. But the earliest cars had carburetors, which in old age can spoil the nerves. Another thing is the injector, which is very tenacious and, in addition to regularly flushing the nozzles and replacing some sensors, usually does not require attention to itself

An impressive 170 mm ground clearance for a car of this class is good. But it is heavily eaten by the crankcase protection elements, and without it, you can catch something on our roads.

The interior of the Accent is a typical “bio”, in general, rather impersonal. From time to time and from operation on domestic destinations, the trim elements begin to knock, creak and quack

If the car has an air conditioner, then five years for the elements of this system is already old age. When buying, it would not hurt to check its performance

The mechanical gearbox installed on the Accent is not particularly reliable and often requires a bulkhead even after a mileage of 100 thousand km.

The harsh conditions of Russian operation often kill the braking system: the pistons wedge, the sorcerer breaks down. " The result is an uneven distribution of braking forces.

There have been times when the Accent sump rotted through and through. The part is not the most expensive, but still unpleasant

The specimens intended for the domestic Korean market had a simplified * corrosion protection, which is a big minus in domestic conditions

The suspension of the model is completely independent, energy-intensive and rather rigid. However, this does not have a positive effect on handling.

The instrument cluster is quite traditional. I am pleased with the presence of a tachometer, which is not always found in this class and price category.

The back of the Accent is frankly cramped, and this is a price to pay for the fact that the first row seats will be comfortable even for tall people.

The rear seat backrest folding in parts is an option that is not available to all model owners

Price for used Elantra

Outcome Hyundai accent

• acceptable level of comfort

• corrosion of specimens for the Korean market

• low resource of mechanical gearboxes

The model was equipped with a fully independent suspension. In the front, these are MacPherson struts. levers fixed to the subframe. and anti-roll bar. Behind - four wishbones and two longitudinal rods, shock absorber struts, and a stabilizer. The short-travel suspension is very stiff and quite energy-intensive. However, despite its fairly modern design, the car does not have good handling. and also the uninformative steering wheel brings its summer into it.

One of the weakest parts of the chassis is the front hub bearings, which rarely take care of more than 40 thousand km. Also, in the area of ​​this run, it is often necessary to change the shock absorbers and front anti-roll bar struts. A pleasant moment during repairs - if a ball joint or a silent block fails (and there are 12 of them in the rear suspension), you do not need to change the entire lever assembly, since most of the chassis elements are disassembled, as they say, to a screw.

The Hyundai Accent is a subcompact car that is manufactured in South Korea by the Hyundai Motor Company. In different countries, the vehicle has different names, for example, somewhere it is known under the name Verna, in the Russian Federation - Solaris, and in Australia until 2000 - Excel. Plants for the manufacture of this brand are located in South Korea, Turkey, India, Russia, Pakistan, Ukraine, Iran and Kazakhstan.

For the first time Accent saw the world in 1995 and he came to replace Excel. In some states, the model has retained the name of its predecessor (the Netherlands). And somewhere she was known as Pony (France). In 2000, the second generation came out.

Now the index LC has been added to the name of the car. The third one was released on the basis of the Kia Rio in 2006. Today, the fourth remains relevant, which the world saw in 2010. We know it as Solaris.

Hyundai Accent is equipped with a wide range of engines, including diesel. The last motor (appeared in 2002) has a volume of 1.5 liters. and a power of 82 hp, and its main feature is that the diesel engine of Hyundai is a 3-cylinder.

The most modest gasoline Hyundai Accent of the second generation is equipped with a 1.3 liter engine. with three valves per cylinder, which was installed on the previous model (60, 75 or 84 hp). The most powerful is the 1.6 liter power unit. (105 hp), which appeared on the Hyundai Accent only two years ago. But the most common is the 1.5-liter engine, which is available in both 12- and 16-valve versions. In the first case, its power is 92 hp, and in the second it is already 99, 102 or 106 hp.

The braking system of the Hyundai Accent is not perfect - most cars have rear drum brakes, and ABS is only in expensive trim levels.

Hyundai Accent has shown itself as quite a worthy car that copes well with Russian roads and does not require a lot of money for maintenance.

The Accent model has been produced by the largest car manufacturer in South Korea - Hyundai Motors Corp since 1994.

The car, which combines original appearance, interior comfort, ease of operation and a wide range of additional options, plus economical fuel consumption, has become widely known all over the world, as evidenced by the high level of sales. The first generation Accent rightfully received the title of a family car.

With the advent of the Accent model, the foundation was laid for equipping Hyundai cars with engines of its own production (previously the company used Mitsubishi power units).

In 1999, the second generation of the Accent was introduced to the world. The new generation has noticeably increased in size, the car has become wider and 13 cm longer than its predecessor. The body design was made in accordance with the latest achievements in the automotive industry. The low-sloping bonnet and large windscreen angle ensure a low drag coefficient. The changes also affected the interior. There is a new front panel and finishing materials. The salon has become more functional and comfortable. The driver's seat is distinguished by decent ergonomics and good visibility.

The one-piece design of the dashboard provides decent ergonomics. The placement of each instrument and control has been rigorously tested under real-world conditions. Compactly located behind the steering wheel, the white indicator and backlighting provide easy readability in the driver's field of vision. Optimally planned controls are convenient and comfortable. The one-piece rounded panel flows smoothly and gently into the door trim panel. This design optimizes the interior space.

Hyundai specialists have taken care of increasing the level of noise insulation and reducing fuel consumption. The latter was achieved using a new system that prevented fuel from getting back into the tank, which had time to heat up in the engine area when the driver released the accelerator pedal. This made the car both more environmentally friendly and more fuel efficient.

The car was produced as a hatchback with three and five doors, as well as a sedan.

The second generation Accent had three options:

L - basic equipment, standard equipment includes only driver's seat height adjustment.

LS - differs from the basic one by the presence of internal door handles with protection against accidental opening and more expensive seat upholstery. Installation of an air conditioner is possible at the request of the customer.

GLS - heated rear window with timer, driver's seat with tilt adjustment and armrest, folding rear seat backrest in parts. Availability of ABS, air conditioning, electrically adjustable mirrors, power windows and central locking is possible.

The Accent was equipped with gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.3 and 1.5 liters with a capacity of 70 to 91 hp, equipped with a carburetor or injection. In the GS and GLS trim levels, the injection engine is standard.

The suspension is rigid on cars with all types of bodies - completely independent, with two anti-roll bars. Front brakes - disc, ventilated, rear - drum.

Since 2001, Hyundai Accent has been produced at the Taganrog Automobile Plant.

In 2003, the third generation comes. The novelty has received changes, both in terms of design and in the technical part. The novelty has a completely new design of the front part of the body, the idea of ​​which is borrowed from the new Hyundai Coupe - a similar solution to the radiator grille, recognizable large headlights. The side panels of the body and the rear of the car have also undergone minor changes. The interior of the Accent has also been updated, with a new design of the dashboard and new finishing materials. In general, the Accent has received a modern design, while maintaining the overall silhouette and style of the previous modification.

The third generation Accent is available with two engines: a 1.3-liter petrol with 84 hp.and a 1.5-liter diesel unit with a direct fuel injection system, producing 82 hp.

There are two types of gearboxes: 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. With a manual transmission, the engine uses about 5 liters per 100 km. Hyundai Accent accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds, top speed - 173 km / h.

The car has a luggage compartment of 375 liters. The design with the lower edge of the boot lid extending to the bumper makes loading easier. The galvanized body has excellent corrosion resistance.

The rack and pinion steering column and all key controls are optimized for easy, effortless use, while the shape, texture and color of the interior have been carefully selected to create the best indoor climate. The Accent features a spacious interior with comfortable, ergonomic seats.

Accent suspension device

Hyundai Accent is a fairly reliable Korean car, the chassis of which requires periodic maintenance of the chassis. How to repair the rear suspension of the Accent with our own hands, we will understand in detail the device and the suspension scheme.

One of the most recognizable vehicles in the lineup is the Hyundai Accent. The model first appeared in 1994, and it has firmly taken its place among family cars. This was facilitated by a high level of comfort, good technical characteristics and reliability along with an affordable price. The Accent's suspension is quite stiff, but firmly endures all the bumps and bumps on Russian roads. The rear suspension of this car suffers more than the front, which is due to its design features.

It is a mistake to believe that the rear axle of the chassis has less influence on the behavior of the Hyundai Accent on the road, compared to the front. Rocking the car at high speeds, maintaining directional stability and the comfort of passengers in the rear seats - these are the functions

tions that are assigned to the rear suspension.

The rear suspension Hyundai Accent is independent, that is, each wheel is supported by hydraulic shock absorbers. Also, the design has longitudinal and transverse levers. To improve the directional stability of the machine, the designers have provided an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension strut is compact and the shock absorber is in the spring.

In addition, there is a compression travel stop in the form of a protective buffer. The support leg is not only a housing for the hydraulic support, but also has a fist through which, due to the silent block, the trailing arm is attached to the support. The support strut itself is held on the body by a support bracket, and the shock absorber rod is reliably protected by rubber covers.

You can feel that the rear suspension of the Hyundai Accent does not work as it originally did, while on the move. This is especially noticeable by the occurrence of longitudinal swing on irregularities and waves on country roads, and also knocks and other extraneous sounds appear additionally.

Sport struts with springs

Never delay the suspension diagnosis, otherwise you will not be able to avoid additional maintenance and repair costs. The main malfunctions that may require DIY Accent rear suspension repair include:

1. The wear of the arm bushings can be diagnosed by the occurrence of knocking in the rear suspension and deviations from a straight path in motion.
2. The wear of the shock absorber strut is determined by the appearance of oil leaks and body swaying.
3. Loss of stiffness of the rear springs. This fault causes the machine to sag, and severe impacts on uneven roads can cause the spring to break.
4. Worn or mechanical damage to the anti-roll bar.

Sometimes it is necessary to disassemble the rear suspension of the Hyundai Accent for other work, including replacing the wheel bearing, servicing the brakes or the fuel system.

To replace shock absorbers on the Accent, you need to stock up on the necessary tools and take care of safety by immobilizing the car. When replacing struts, secure the car well on the site and proceed with the following steps:

1. Provide easy access to the top of the pillar from the passenger compartment.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. Disconnect the strut stem attachment using a 17 and 19 open-end wrench, and you will also need a 6 wrench to keep the stem from turning.
4. Release the shock absorber from its attachment to the strut (use a 17 wrench).
5. Loosen the 3 nuts with a 12 wrench that hold the top end of the rack.
6. Remove the wheel rotation sensor.
7. Remove the suspension strut by lowering it down.

Dismantling the Hyundai Accent spring must be performed using a special vice and a suitable compression device. When you remove the spring, assess its condition: it should be free of cracks, corrosion, signs of subsidence and deformation.

You will then be able to remove the protective rubber elements, which are subsequently checked for mechanical damage. After removing the stand, check the surface to make sure it is free of oil spills. Check the mirror surface of the stem, smoothness of movement, evaluate the uniformity and stiffness of the movement. If there are deviations, replace the shock absorbers with a Hyundai Accent with your own hands.

When replacing shock absorbers, keep in mind that they are always replaced in pairs. If you change just one rack, it will not be able to fully develop its resource due to the worn out other. Also, shock absorbers should be selected with the same stiffness and always from the same manufacturer. A half installation will incur additional costs due to increased rubber wear and rapid wear on other parts of the Accent's rear undercarriage.

Regardless of the change in generations of the car, shock absorbers have always remained the same, so problems with their selection never arise. Be sure to bleed the racks before installing them to remove excess air from the cavities and adjust the operation of the bypass valves.

Work on the installation of shock absorbers on the Hyundai Accent is performed in the reverse order. If you need to remove the rear suspension trailing arm, the machine will need to be installed over a pit or raised on a lift, and then the following steps are performed:

• with a 12 key, unscrew the bracket for the parking brake cable;
• using two ring spanners 17, unscrew the bolt holding the lever and remove the bolt;
• unscrew the lever attachment to the knuckle and release it.

Then you can install the racks in place and collect everything that was disassembled earlier.

The process of replacing the rear suspension bushings of the Hyundai Accent with your own hands is carried out after removing the lever. When reassembling, remember that the vehicle has angles for the rear wheels, so mark the position of the adjusting bolt before disassembling to avoid fine adjustment. Also keep in mind when replacing levers that the left and right are different from each other.

When removing the wishbones, first unscrew the adjusting bolt by unscrewing the adjusting washer with an eccentric. The second end of the lever is also dismantled by unscrewing the bolt with a 19 and 17 wrench. The transverse levers are also different, so take this into account when installing them and do not confuse the left with the right or vice versa. When replacing the anti-roll bar, drive the vehicle onto a lift or overpass. The work is performed according to simple instructions:

• release the lower cushion of the shock absorber;
• with a 17-inch head, unscrew the nut that holds the stabilizer on the rack, as well as the fastening of the rack hinge to the stabilizer bar;
• dismantle the stabilizer post.

A key criterion for normal operation of the anti-roll bar is the moment of force that occurs when you try to roll the ball joint pin. If the value exceeds 1.7-3.2 Nm, the stabilizer link must be replaced. There should be no play in the ball joint.

It is imperative to assess the condition of the protective hinge covers. When installing an old stabilizer, it is sometimes necessary to replace or add grease. Do not forget that the final tightening of the connections is best done after lowering the car, that is, so that the suspension is loaded.

Carefully assess the condition of rubber seals, covers and bushings, and replace them if necessary. With high-quality and timely repairs, the Accent's rear suspension will serve you for a long time. For example, silent blocks, even when driving on bad roads, go more than 20 thousand kilometers, and the struts can easily withstand 70 thousand kilometers.

Before repairing the rear suspension of a Hyundai Accent with your own hands, it is important to consider that in addition to the above works, others may be required. For this, special tools, spare parts and accessories will come in handy. To facilitate the separation of rusted threaded connections, prepare a brush with metal bristles and VD-40 fluid or brake fluid.

Hyundai Accent is one of those cars that has become almost iconic in our country. These car models from the South Korean manufacturer delight their owners with good dynamics and a fairly richly equipped interior. But, like any other car model, Hyundai Accent also has its drawbacks and malfunctions, which appear after several thousand kilometers. Let's consider this issue.

The Hyundai Accent engine is able to last a long enough period without the need for repairs. However, to do this, it requires periodic maintenance. For many, it may seem a big disadvantage that maintenance of the engine of this car should not be done as infrequently as we would like. So:

• Every 10 thousand km of run, the engine requires an oil change. Moreover, it must be changed along with the oil filter.
• 20-25 thousand will require the car enthusiast to install new spark plugs. They can last longer if they use quality fuel, which is not good news.
• The cooling system will require replacement of antifreeze for 40 thousand km. Moreover, the fuel filter will have to be replaced as well.
• Experts recommend every 45 thousand to thoroughly flush the injection system in order to avoid the subsequent twitching of the car and unstable idling of the engine.
• After 60 thousand km, the installation of a new timing belt will be required, and after 70 thousand the unit will begin to require more and more oil.

There are Hyundai Accent models with both manual and automatic transmissions. Both units are of quite high quality and are capable of serving a sufficiently long period without maintenance. To "extend the life" of the gearbox, it is necessary to take care of the timely oil change.

The oil change, according to the manufacturer, must be done every 90 thousand kilometers, but, as practice shows, it is better to do this every 45 thousand in the case of automation and 60 thousand in the case of mechanics.

Every 40 thousand km, a motorist will need to take care of changing the clutch and brake fluid. The clutch itself serves only about 120 thousand km (depending on driving style and operating conditions of the car). Repair Hyundai Accent on the part of the clutch should be carried out in a comprehensive manner. Those. at once you will have to change both the disc, and the basket, and the release bearing.

The Hyundai Accent's drivetrain has some weak points. The release bearing guide is subjected to a high load, which is why it fails prematurely.

In principle, the Hyundai Accent chassis, if handled properly, can last a fairly long time. Even its smallest details can work normally even after 100 thousand kilometers. In the design of the chassis, the most vulnerable elements are the stabilizer struts. Also note that in many cases, after 30 thousand kilometers, wheel bearings begin to knock. If such problems arise, it is advisable to diagnose and repair the chassis.

One drawback can be put to the Hyundai Accent braking system. The rear brakes of a car are often unable to pass the brake test.

The interior arrangement of the Hyundai Accent does not cause any concern. The only thing is that every 20-30 thousand km of run, the air filter is tightly clogged. The central locking turned out to be not without flaws. From time to time, it is often for some unknown reason that it fails. Also of note is the tapping of the speedometer, which is also unknown for what reasons.

The body is made from quality materials. It easily resists natural phenomena, does not succumb to corrosion for 7-8 years. The appearance of rust on the body of a Hyundai Accent younger than this age is most likely due to unnatural reasons.

Hyundai Accent is equipped with a wide range of engines, including diesel. The last motor (appeared in 2002) has a volume of 1.5 liters. and a power of 82 hp, and its main feature is that the diesel engine of Hyundai is a 3-cylinder.

The most modest gasoline Hyundai Accent of the second generation is equipped with a 1.3 liter engine. with three valves per cylinder, which was installed on the previous model (60, 75 or 84 hp). The most powerful is the 1.6 liter power unit. (105 hp), which appeared on the Hyundai Accent only two years ago.

The braking system of the Hyundai Accent is not perfect - most cars have rear drum brakes, and ABS is only in expensive trim levels.

Hyundai Accent has shown itself as quite a worthy car that copes well with Russian roads and does not require a lot of money for maintenance.
