What we check first
The Hyundai issues a specialist knows by heart.
These are the well-documented, high-frequency faults on Hyundai platforms. Whether yours has them depends on the year, engine and mileage, which is what the diagnostic is for.
Theta II engine bearing wear
2.0T and 2.4 engines from about 2011 to 2019 can knock from rod bearing wear. We check for the knock, and we check whether Hyundai's extended coverage still applies before you pay for anything.
GDI carbon buildup
Direct injection engines coke the intake valves. Rough idle and lost power at higher miles respond to an intake cleaning.
Dual-clutch transmission behavior
Hesitation on the DCT is often software. We check for updates and adaptations before anything mechanical.
