timing belt

Its an interference, so yes, The extent its damaged depends on engine RPM at time of breakage.

If your timing belt breaks you and your bank account will not be happy. Why risk it, get it replaced.

2005 Tucson 2.7 Belt broke coming awsy from a stop. Loud pop. Engine died. Resuts were 2 Exhaust/2 Intake valves slightly bent in Cyls 2 and 6 respectivly, Piston nicks very minimal. Lots of work to do yourself, but saved alot in labor (going rate today is between $125-$145. Also performed additional parts replacements while engine open.

tow it to a hyundai dealer and set fire to it

Hey, when it comes to us vehicle owners performing ''Routine'' Maintenance, somehow replacing the ''Timing Belt'' gets overlooked. Since most vehicles have ''Interference Engines'', it only makes sense that if you plan on keeping the vehicle for years to come, taking a day out and devoting it to this important job. I'm just as guilty as most vehicle owners when it comes to changing that damn belt. Our 1998 ''Family'' Honda Accord just hit 225k miles in July of 2020. For a 22 year old Honda, the mileage is more to the low side. It's been in the family since 2009. I bought it with 97,500 miles on it. So at an average of 11,590 miles per year, if we wanna see 250,000, the belt will need to be changed. The sooner the better. Now back to our 2006 Hyundai, Tucson, it has 155k on it now. My guess is that we'll be able to get at least another 50 to 100k out of it before it's time to junk it. The reason for dumping it when we hit 200k isn't because of how the vehicle is made but we live in Michigan and the salt kills cars and trucks. And I've been told that Hyundai's were never made to be on the long term list of vehicles. Whereas Honda's were. In fact I'm looking at these 3 vehicles. 1998 Jeep Cherokee, 2000 & 2002 Honda, CR-V & last, a 2005 Hyundai, Santa Fe. I wanted to look for a Toyota, 4Runner because that vehicle is still ranked #1 in America & has been for years. I just watched 2000 4Runner with 278k miles sell for $9,200.00..... No thank you. I want a vehicle that will last but dang, I can buy 2 to 3 Honda's or Jeeps for that amount. Another thing about Jeep, before they were turned into the same stuff nightmares are made of. Totally Junk Vehicles. The Liberty, Patriot & Compass will suck all the money out of your bank account. That's what I know from owning a Patriot and from many, many people who have been complaining about the same issues that I have. When Hyundai, Santa Fe & Tucson were brought into the US, they were considered the most inexpensive small to mid size SUV. I happen to like them. They may not belong to the same ''High Mileage Club'' as Honda but because I like buying used vehicles, Hyundai's been one of my 1st choice vehicles for years. Thanks for letting me rant on and on.... Dan
