I've had the plugs for a number of months but apprehensive about doing this myself. Finally got around to it and was a breeze on my 2016 1.6L Turbo Tuscon. The video tutorial was just excellent! Thank you!
Its easy on these engines but I remember the days when they'd have a V6 crammed into a front wheel drive platform and the back 3 were nearly impossible. And even the rear drive cars, the right side with the A/C & smog stuff in the way you had to go thru the wheel well. Those were hard!
You missed some very important steps. First before you remove plugs you should have a air can and blast any dirt away from the plug whole. Next, you should make sure that gaps on the plugs are accurate and correct. Another tip is to reverse the tool with the spark plug until you feel the thread lock in, then you can continue to screw in the plug as this will help to prevent cross threading. Another one is to use a torque wrench (as stated in the video but not used) so as to not over torque or under torque the spark plug. Just some tips for anyone looking to do this and not risk any damage to your engine.
$200 for all 4 spark plugs replacement by the dealer service? That is not too expensive to pay to make sure you don’t mess it up. Especially the tightening torque
That was scary the amount of tension used to ratchet first plug off.. wouldn't want to snap one off. I think ill swap mine out every 40k miles. My EGTS is 3 years now with 18k miles. Also when I replace them on my motorcycle common practice was hand tighten and then ratchet 1/4 turn. Looks like u did that as well
Awesome video. I just got misfire light on my truck. As i was driving right after i used my turbo button, I am hoping is the spark plugs Thanks for the video very helpful
A perfect tutorial! Really helped when I had my Veloster, thank you! Is there any possible way you could do a spark plug replacement video for a 2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5 as well? Watched every tutorial I could find and nobody is as patient or goes into as much detail as you do
If I had a 4Runner I'd change the plugs in it but I don't drive one so I can't :( This was my own personal car. I'm driving a '22 Tucson now so its not going to need plugs for a long time. The change interval on the non-turbo engines is longer
Nothing really significant. When I traded it in, I think it was at most a half a quart low and that had been several months since my oil change. And that was at 67k miles.
U might want to try and us a spinner know after breaking the plug loose. That squeaking im hearing may indicate a need for lubricant. R u using and actual spark plug socket or a 5/8 socket
Does anyone know if the "turbo" version (Sonata 2011) has wires that need to be replaced as well? I've seen multiple videos that go over spark plug replacement... and none of them mention the wires. Thanks!
@@bml33 Thank you for your info. The reason I am asking because I have one of china branded car and they require to replace the spark plugs every 20k in km not miles. I have 2022 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6 FWD turbo. It did not make any sense to me to do that.
See this page from a Hyundai forum. Its a Sonata forum, but the engine is the 1.6T Gamma 2 so it should be the same. Apparently one of the guys on there is a shop tech and posted a screen shot from the service manual: www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/2021-sonata-limited-1-6t-spark-plug-gap.700324/
U are grabbing that wrench to far out at the end of the handle thus Appling to much torque but u will realize this the next time you go to remove them. Did u double check the gap? Did you look at plugs side buy side for correct length.
WHOAH! At 10:30 he thinks he heard a click... He's thinking about an old school spark plug & boot. There is no CLICK to be heard on these. There is however a spring inside the spark plug boot (which obviously comes attached to the coil) that makes contact with the top of the spark plug. The spring makes sure there's constant pressure...which makes me wonder why the top of the spark plug is round. Anyways don't wait for a click because you'll be there all day. Good video nevertheless. I was hoping new plugs and coils would fix my car however the misfire ended up being a bad fuel injector. Not even sure if a scanner is capable of detecting a bad injector.
I have the same type of engine on my 2015 Sonata, anyone having an issue with high oil consumption? My car burn oil like crazy with less than 100k miles on it
I have heard of a lot of people having that problem. Mine was not too bad, about 1/2 quart every 5,000 miles when I'd have the oil changed and it had 67k at the end.
They say that these spark plugs are pre gap. My question is how do they know which car engine it goes into. The car manual doesn't even have it. I called up my Hyundai dealership service dept. They couldn't even tell me the recommendation gap space. What the heck. Does anyone know what the gap space for a 2017 Hyundai tucson 2.0 L is?
I haven't seen any gap recommendations. These plugs (specific part number) might only be used in the turbo engines and they used this turbo engine in many Hyundai and Kia models, so if that's the case then the gap would be the same for all and no need to adjust them.
Service departments do not make any money by giving out information. Eyeball the new plugs against the old plugs, and if they look close, good enuf, if you can't find specs.
Awesome tutorial. Helped me change out the coil packs in a 2019 Elantra Gt N line.

Was a great demo, changed my plugs and air filter with no issues. Thanks much Bruce!
Thanks Bruce! I have never changed spark plugs on my own, and your video made it so easy. Thank you so much!!

Very helpful demonstration. Very clear, and includes reminders and suggestions. Thank you.
This has been the best video yet on the Veloster thanks

I dont always torque but I do check gap.
Iridium plugs are pre gapped from factory and trying to check the gap can actually damage the plugs.
Thank you for sharing this, I've got a misfire in cylinder 1 and I need to replace my coil packs on my 2016 veloster turbo.
You just saved me +$200. Thank you sir!

You better check the gap on the new ones before installation too!!!!!!!
Were the plugs pre-gapped?
It didn't say so on the box.
Great video!

What was the gap set at?
I don't remember. I actually didn't do any adjustments to them before installing. It ran great afterward.
@@bml33 I figured it out. It's .035-.039
Excellent.
Great video! Do you have one on changing the serpentine belt for the same engine?
No, I never replaced the belt. By 67,000 it didn't need replacing.
Hi. You were doing this on cold engine? There are different informations about this in the Internet
Yes. the engine was cold at the time.
Does that motor burn oil
Nothing really significant. When I traded it in, I think it was at most a half a quart low and that had been several months since my oil change. And that was at 67k miles.
I have the same type of engine and it burn oil like crazy !

It was an actual spark plug socket.
Don't forget your cabin filter
I did the cabin filter in a separate video.
Does anyone know if the "turbo" version (Sonata 2011) has wires that need to be replaced as well? I've seen multiple videos that go over spark plug replacement... and none of them mention the wires. Thanks!
Spark plug wires are pretty much a thing of the past. The ignition coils sit directly over the plug, one for each plug.
Thank you!@@bml33
Hi, How often should I replace them?
45,000 for turbo models, double that for non-turbo models.

Can i use Denso spark plugs or NGK only.
From what I have read online, some people have had success using the Denso #3479 spark plug.
You should only use NGK Laser Iridium Plugs. Sure, you can use a different plug the Laser can handle higher temperatures that no Laser plugs.
U are grabbing that wrench to far out at the end of the handle thus Appling to much torque but u will realize this the next time you go to remove them.
Did u double check the gap?
Did you look at plugs side buy side for correct length.
They are the same length. I didn't have a gap tool so I didn't check it,
Those are important details. If you make instructional videos it would be very important for a novice to have this info to.
Gap Guage are very inexpensive and its portent to check. Gaps aren't always set right from the factory.
@@fuzznutz7182 Iridium plugs are pre gapped from factory and trying to check the gap can actually damage the plugs. Per NGK install instructions.
