What will be the problem if i found water on the top of the pistons
If there is water on top of pistons then you have a leaking hard gasket one fix is drain all coolant out and fill with block sealer follow instructions on bottle after done drain out and refill with new coolant. See with head gasket coolant can leak in oil or pistons but if still have water on top of pistons there could be a more serious problem such as a cracked engine block.
Heat related transmission problem on Galloper (not given in list).
Transmission oil level low is the biggest cause of transmission overheat as well as road surface temp. Air flow over radiator and under vehicle. All air deflectors under front must be in place and not damaged. Avoid overdrive in hig temp conditions. Stay in third gear.
Fan belt dosent track properly on tentioner
Hi Jim, Seems you need a replacement belt and a good look inside the engine compartment to check if any of the bearing for the pulley's are are shot. If there is exsesive plave even in the bearing of one pulley, that can cause a problem. Another problem area could be created if any replacements have been made of any parts which are driven by the same belt.Regards John
Loss compression
How to Test Engine CompressionAn engine depends on an equal compression reading in each cylinder to run smoothly. If poor compression exits in one or more cylinders it can cause a rough idle condition and low power.
A compression test can be performed to check wear or internal damage. To start a engine compression test gauge is needed. There are two types of gauge styles, one threads into the spark plug hole which is more accurate. The other style of gauge is constructed with a rubber plug that is meant to be pressed against the spark plug hole, this style of gauge is difficult to use. To perform a engine cylinder compression test follow the steps below.
- Remove ignition coil connector or ignition system fuse to disable power to the ignition system
- Test ignition system to ensure that the power to the system has been disabled
- Remove #1 cylinder spark plug and insert compression gauge, most gauges have a hose attachment that is installed into the spark plug hole with the gauge connecting to the gauge hose.
Engine Cylinder Compression Gauge
- After the compression gauge has been inserted, use the starter to crank the engine over for about five seconds. Use about the same five seconds to test the remaining cylinders.
- Record the compression reading as each cylinder is tested
- Remove the compression gauge and reinsert the spark plug
- Follow this procedure until all cylinders have been tested
- Compare cylinders compression reading, all readings should be within about 5% of each other
If low compression exists a cylinder malfunction exits and further inspection is required. Possible causes for a low compression condition are: burned intake or exhaust valve, broken piston or piston ring, broken valve spring or a blown head gasket.
I run a small company, and own a hyundai H200
Not many engines are repaired internally anymore. They are replaced and it is usually very expensive. Regular maint. will keep these vehicles running for a long time. Poor maint. will cost lots of money as the miles pile up. Looks like your Hyundai went quite a few miles before it required an engine.
2017 Hyundai Tuscon drivers seat mechanism will not work for reclining seat. I need this to help ease getting in and out. Is this something I can fix myself?
The mechanism of a reclining driver's seat in a car can be complex, and it may require specialized tools and knowledge to diagnose and fix the problem. Depending on the cause of the issue, it may be possible for you to fix it yourself if you have the necessary skills and tools, but if you are not experienced with automotive repairs, it may be best to take the vehicle to a professional mechanic.
Before attempting any repairs, you should consult the owner's manual for your vehicle to understand the seat mechanism and any safety precautions you should take. If the problem is related to a broken part or a loose connection, you may be able to fix it by yourself with some basic tools.
However, if the issue is more complex or requires a replacement part, it may be best to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic or an authorized Hyundai dealership for repair. They will have the expertise and experience to diagnose the problem and repair the seat mechanism correctly and safely.
Tucson back door won't open
Tucson has this notorious problem. The door locks operate using a steel cable, just like the clutch cable of most of the motorcycles. This cable stretches out with time and eventually, the throw of the lock (the range of motion) would not be enough to pull the cable sufficiently and unlock the cars. On youtube, you'll find some fixes which basically suggest to cut the stopper in the lock mechanism to increase the throw length of the lock latch.
