Mechanic shares how Hyundai and Kia engines are still failing in new videos

The former owners weighed with their own stories of horror engines.


There is a lot of time and research that enter the car purchasing process , to weigh the advantages of a vehicle and the disadvantages of creating a financial game plan. For example, if you want to follow the ecological route, you can debate between a Tesla or a Toyota Prius. Those who love all-terrain can envisage a Jeep Wrangler, while the owls of snow can be interested in a Subaru. However, it is also essential to take into account the longevity of an automobile brand. For example, a mechanic who goes through @motorcarnut on Tiktok has become viral after revealing the known parts to fail In the Hyundai and Kia engines.

In relation: Mechanic explains why he "would never have a Nissan" in a new video: "Worse than everything".

According to Statista, Hyundai and Kia were the main car brands In the United States, in 2023, on the basis of vehicle sales. But in a few years, these owners can discover something called "oil famine", says @motorcarnut.

Although routine maintenance and oil changes can help keep your car in a point -shaped car, some part repairs are inevitable. However, in the case of Hyundai and Kia, @motorcarnut vehicles says it is not unusual for their engines to feel a "lack of oil" due to defective manufacturing techniques.

"Oil famine has nothing to do with the owner this time," he said in the clip, who has since accumulated more than 452,000 views. "It is the manufacture of the factory's crank when they drizzle the holes for oil passages."

According to Autozone, oil passages are "pierced or thrown into the cylinder heads, the engine block and the crankshaft to receive oil under pressure from the oil pump for the distribution throughout the engine". They play an important role in maintaining a car at cruise, so when they develop a rod or hit a sound, it is a key indicator that something is wrong with the engine.

"Here ... you have a nice oil passage," demonstrated @motorcarnut before panorquating the camera with a missed oil. "This one has a rod. He struck," he said about shooting noise.

He then tries to pass an air compressor through the two oil passages. In the passage of work, viewers can hear the air swirl inside because it is not obstructed. When it continues the missed passage, the air pulls immediately because it is blocked.

"You put air here, nothing. It is because when they machine it, all deposits, they do not clean them enough. They generally accumulate in an area," he explained.

He continued: "Now it has no oil that circulates it. And what happens? It blows, and that's why it simply destroyed the bearing here."

The position received hundreds of comments, including an anecdote from a former owner of Hyundai who went to Toyota after having already encountered many oil problems.

"Had a hyundai that the oil changed every 3000 miles like a clock, locked up at 56,000 miles. Done with the two brands! Toyota only now!" They shared.

Another Tiktok user said: "It happened to my engine, my Hyundai has just died or seized."

"Ours failed 40 km away. Sitting in the dealership store for several weeks while we have led a rental. Finally, he recovered it and it never run right after. They told us exactly the same problem, "wrote a person.

"This shows how these companies care about the quality or supply of their customers for our money," we read in another comment.
