Hi everybody,

can you help me with the sparks replacement - is there a need to replace original Hyundai sparking plugs after my 102000km or no? What kind of sparks would you recommend?

Thank you very much!

...I have Hyundai Coupe gen3 (2003) 2.0i

 

Yes, that'sa good time to replace them. More importantly, at that mileage you MUST replace your timing belt. If it breaks, the engine will be ruined. The spark plugs can wait, the timing belt can't.

 

thank you - I have allready replaced timing belt (common with wather pump) now I am thinking about what should be next .... so do you think it will bring some improvement after replacing sparks? and what kind do you recommend for this 2.0i engine?

 

I'm glad to hear the belt was done. Maybe someone else can help with the spark plugs; to be honest I haven't replaced mine yet.

 

...I noticed some strange "dry" sound from engine place after replacing belts ....and also when I stop the engine I can hear some :"furting" noise from the exhaust ....4-5times

 

ngk, auto-lite, ac delco, any basic spark plug will work, no need in getting a great spark plug, the engine simply dosnt' need it, go to ebay and they usually have wire and plug packages which is the best way to go.

 

ngk are what the hyundai dealer said to put in for and advance auto parts or autozone what ever you like best has cheap wires

 

thank you guys , really appreciate it - they told me NGK is really good for hyundais....can you help me also with this "furting" sound from exchaust? it started after they replaced timing belts - when I come from driving (mostly in the evenings when there's no other noise) and stop the engine I can hear some noise coming from exchaust pipes....like "furting" of engine - 3-4 times during 10-15 seconds...and than it finishes

 

Hmm... that noise is odd.
Change the plugs and wires out and go from there.
It may be as simple as a small misfire.

When you replaced the timing belt, did you also swap out the tensioner and idler?
That must be done as well.
The bearings in any timing belts idler has a tendency to spin basically. The tensioner or idler then explodes and your timing belt obviously loses all tension and comes off. The end result is bent valves in the head.
