I really appreciate your video series on the Elantra. I have a 2016 Elantra limited and every time I previously had run into an issue because I’d overlooked something (or was just clueless from the start!) your videos have solved my problem. Now I don’t wait for issues, if you have a video for my application, I’ll watch your video first and avoid the headaches. Very clear, methodical and thorough from the tools you need to the steps throughout the entire process- All instructional videos should use this format! Thank you and best of luck to you in all your endeavors!

This was an automatic vehicle, so I couldn't talk about the clutch fluid reservoir. However, I checked the owners manual and the clutch reservoir and brake reservoir are the same for this vehicle. Brake/clutch fluid share the same reservoir. It's a common practise I have seen on many other vehicles.

Now older vehicles had transmissions where you could check the fluid. There used to be a dipstick, to check condition of oil and replace it when it went bad. Newer vehicles, like the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra and the 2017-2018 Hyundai Elantra, have transmissions which are filled with transmission fluid that has a very long life. This transmission fluid is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. However, if you are going to keep the car for a long time, I suggest you drain and refill new fluid every 160,000 kms. On the bottom of the transmission there should be a drain plug and fill plug to put the new fluid. Hopefully this helps! 😁

you need to tell clients about the strainer...this strainer limits the flow of brake fluid when filling if you want it to fill faster hold the strainer off to one side but you will have to get your fingers wet or wear gloves this is still time-consuming but it will get done... hold the strainer off to one side and repeat

I have around 52k miles on my car. I don't know if it's the right time to do transmission fluid change but I do a lot of city driving. Would you recommend it?
@VirarAutomotive 3 жыл бұрын
I personally think it is a little early for a transmission fluid change as that vehicle is rated for 'lifetime' fluid service life. However, since your driving is predominantly in the city, you may get a transmission flush at 60k miles. That way its just an easier number to remember the service mileage for records.

@VirarAutomotive 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you. That just sounds odd. Just to be sure, could you confirm that the fluid was at minimum level and when you opened up the reservoir you couldn't see anything in there? Just to note it doesn't take a lot of fluid to top off the brake fluid reservoir. Maybe just 40-50 ml of fluid and that's about it
@dreamcometrue6708 2 жыл бұрын
@@VirarAutomotive Yes, brake fluid is at the minimum line. As soon as I started pouring, it started to overflow. I thought maybe the red piece (filter) needed to be removed in order to allow it to go down. I couldn’t get it off and didn’t want to force it, so I sopped up the stagnant fluid with some paper towels and put the cap back on. Not sure what to do. I was trying to avoid a trip to the mechanic for something that I could do myself, but I may have to end up finding one to help me.😕Thank you for responding!
