Re: V6 Crankshaft failure AKA Knock'o'death
It's very disappointing that the initial post of this topic by Rik has been deleted. That was unfortunate. However the information is in the public domain. Have a look/search here: http://forums.hyundaicoupe.info/ Thanks, well, I found this: http://hyundaicoupeclub.co.uk/engine-wheels-brakes-suspen...

Re: V6 Crankshaft failure AKA Knock'o'death
It's very disappointing that the initial post of this topic by Rik has been deleted. I can recall the post as being very informative. Re the "knock of death", I find it remarkable that this problem seems to be unknown either over here in Holland or in the USA, whereas lots of V6 Coupes wer...

Re: Hello from NL
Just curious, but is there a specific reason why there are TWO clubs in the UK for Hyundai Coupe owners?

Re: V6 Crankshaft failure AKA Knock'o'death
...but for peice of mind i would do both, as i did. :handgestures-thumbupleft: Do you only have to remove the sump to be able to replace the big end bearings as well as the main bearings? With many cars, replacing the main bearings means engine out, I thought... And how much did you have to pay for...

Re: V6 Crankshaft failure AKA Knock'o'death
i done both on mine but it was mainlly the big end bearings that had started to fail. OK, thanks. I've changed the 5W30 oil for 10W40 Valvoline Maxlife now and installed a new OEM oil filter. There was far too much oil in the sump (almost 1 litre!). Maybe the previous owner overfilled deliberately ...

Re: V6 Crankshaft failure AKA Knock'o'death
I fear the answer, but please listen to this: http://goo.gl/vOf9Vq Is it the kock'o'death you hear and can I scrap my car...? :icon_sad: The knocking can be heard only outside of the car at idle when the engine is warm. There's no knocking when cold. Would it help to replace the 5W30 oil by 10W40, p...

Hello from NL
Hello from the Netherlands! Hopefully I did not do something illegal, but I have registered although I don't have a Coupe yet.... :angry-nono: But I am looking for one, so it will only a matter of time I guess. Being able to read all the info on this forum now should get me thoroughly prepared. I ha...
