About $1200.

Get it diagnosed by an ASE certified technician, not just a parts changer. Many so called "mechanics" will just start changing parts until they get lucky. A technician will find the cause of the problem. Once you find the true cause of the problem, you can replace only what's needed.

Sounds like you have a bad oil pump or the pressure relief valve (in the oil pump) is stuck open. An actual oil pressure test needs to be performed where a mechanical oil gauge is installed where the pressure sensor goes. This way you will know if the light is being honest with you. If you do actually have low oil pressure, change your oil pump.

I used a spanner tool to hold the front crankshaft pulley and a breaker bar to get the bolt out. After this, the pulley came off by working it left and right and pulling out at the same time.

We're working on an instructional video that shows this repair step-by-step. We're very busy in our shop and have little time to work on it, so it will be awhile. We will update this video's page when it's available.

+Alex Fu The serpentine belt and accessory belt are one in the same, just different terminology. The timing belt transmits power from the crankshaft to turn the camshafts and keep everything in time. The serpentine belt (or accessory belt) takes power from the crankshaft to drive your power steering, alternator, a/c compressor, etc. There are 2 belts on the Hyundai Tucson - one serpentine belt and one timing belt. When replacing the timing belt, purchase a Aisin timing belt kit. This kit will include everything you need, except for a serpentine belt. Aisin kits are the closest to factory parts you can get without the cost. Most Aisin kits come with instructions that will show you the timing marks and help you get it done right. Good luck on your project!

+VideoNOLA Most fancy plastic engine covers have only one purpose - to look good on the showroom floor. We remove and re-install many useless engine covers everyday. They are annoying to us, too. However, some engine covers (like the Mazda CX7) have an actual purpose. On the CX7 in particular the engine cover funnels cool air to the intercooler.

+Joseph Gallion Thank you for your intelligent comment. This video was not meant to show exactly how this job is done. This video was meant to ONLY show why it should be done early. If you are looking for a video to show exactly how this job is done, you probably should not be trying to do this yourself. Good luck.

+Taco Worstofall Yes the 2.4 is a non interference engine. However if there are large carbon deposits on the pistons valves can be bent by hitting carbon filled valve recesses. 9 out of 10 times there are no bent valves when the 2.4 belt breaks, this is not the case with the 2.0 it always bends valves.

+Kirk Matheson Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed the video.

+Joshua James Probably your front right motor mount.

+clasota15 Yes a loose belt can hit the cover and make noise, I would have to hear it myself to say for sure.

David L Absolutely!

jeffrey sanders Unfortunately, it could be leaking from one of many different places. The most common places for leaks are the radiator and water pump. We would have to see your car to determine where it is leaking from.

Andy Trujillo It depends on your skill level. It takes our Master Tech about 3-4 hours to do this job.

Kool Acclaimed This 2.7L V6 engine has a timing chain, not a belt. Timing chains are only serviced if they are loose or noisy.

I have another question, Mastermind. If I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil rather than that conventional 5w-30 Havoline oil should I remain changing my motor oil every three months or three thousand miles or can I change it every five thousand miles or every six months, which ever comes first? And do you recommend using synthetic oil on this typical car rather than the basic oil that most people would used? After I have read so many reviews about how bad this notorious 2.7L engine is I have gotten cold feet about basic oil that is capable of producing oil sludge.

Kool Acclaimed The best thing you can do with that engine is to run high quality conventional oil like Valvoline or Castrol with a BG MOA at each oil change. BG MOA extends the life of your conventional oil to 5,000 miles, but you must use a high quality oil filter to do this. We recommend K&N or Purolator PureOne filter. This is the same oil change service we use for our high performance race motors. If you have sludge in your engine now, you may want to do a BG Engine Flush.

Mastermind Denver - I have one last question: my air condition (blows out hot air rather than cold air as a normal air condition should) and when I have the air condition or defrost on -- even though my a/c doesn't blow cold air -- the vehicle will squeal and it will have a rough idle up to 4k rpm. With that said, do you think it is the a/c compressor that should be replaced (because I recharged the system with 134-a refrigerant and it still blows hot air) and do you think the idling come from a faulty idle air control valve that should be cleaned or replaced? And thanks for your precised answer pertaining to the oil.

Kool Acclaimed Your welcome! Happy we could help. Unfortunately, we would have to see your car to help you with your a/c system. As for the idle and the noise, try disconnecting the electrical connector or removing the a/c fuse to see if those problems go away. You probably have a bad a/c compressor.

Th3p0lic3 The complete timing belt service including all necessary components - your timing belt, idler pulley, timing belt tension assembly w/bracket, water pump, seals and new coolant is $995 parts and labor. This estimate includes all OEM Chrysler parts and a warranty, too. If you mention this youtube video, you get $100 off that price. Thank you for your business!

Thank you, Alex! Glad you liked it! :)

Dennis Pfeifer Thank you for the compliments, Dennis! Glad you liked our video. Blessings to you!

We did not intend to show how to change the timing belt. If you do not know how to remove a timing belt, maybe you shouldn't try. A professional is much cheaper than a new engine. Best of luck to you!

Austin Peters Personally I would not run that belt past 90K, just to be safe.

Unfortunately, we do not have a full length video. This is something we are considering doing in the future, but have not had time to do it as of yet. Thank you for serving our country!

Your welcome! The 2.4 is a non-interference engine (technically) unless excessive carbon buildup is present. There is also a very slight chance that valves will hit each other, but it is very rare.

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the video. We prefer AISIN timing belt kits. They have proven to us to be reliable time and time again. You don't have to change the bracket most times. Replacing the bracket just makes for a more complete job.

Technically, the 2.4L engine is a non interference motor meaning valves will not hit the pistons unless their have been modifications or excessive carbon buildup on the pistons. However, it is possible for intake and exhaust valves to collide under extreme conditions (i.e. high RPMs, etc.). Most times the 2.4 engine is ok after a timing belt breaks. The 2.0 engine never lives through a broken timing belt.

Thanks. I'll try to change the triming belt the next week.

alex perales Your welcome! Anytime. Good luck with changing your timing belt. Hope it all goes well!

Yes, the simple 2 gears and 1 chain of a OHV SBC are extremely dependable. However, not even Chevy has been able to design a timing chain setup for an OHC engine with the same results. OHV (2 gears/1 chain/No chains or tensioners) OHC (Multiple gears/Multiple chains/Tensioners/Guides, etc.) I have not seen very many DOHC timing chain driven engines that can go over 150K without timing chain replacement or repair.
