Why does my Accent’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Are Hyundai Accent engine noises bad?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Hyundai Accent engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Hyundai Accent engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Hyundai Accent radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Accent radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
