The 2008 Hyundai Elantra comes with a 2.0 L 4Cylinder engine and this engine uses a timing belt. While many manufacturers as well as customers prefer a timing chain the belt is still perfectly fine and will only require some maintenance from time to time. It is recommended that You change the part every 60,000 miles at the MINImum and closer to 80,000 miles maximum. If You are unsure when You need to change it there are some symptoms You can check for. Ticking noises from the engine, exhaust blowing out more smoke than usual, or the vehicle turning over but not starting are just a few things that can be the result of a failing belt. -
