What should I do if the Beijing Hyundai ix35 engine has cylinder scoring?
2 Answers
Engine cylinder scoring can damage the piston assembly and cause scratches on the cylinder walls. It can be sent to a repair shop for maintenance. If the scratches on the cylinder walls are too deep or the piston assembly is severely worn, a new kit should be directly replaced. More details about the IX35 engine are as follows: 1. The engine model of the Beijing Hyundai ix35 is G4NA. 2. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. (1) The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 118kW (160PS) and a peak torque of 193N·m, paired with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. (2) The 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 103kW (140PS) and a peak torque of 242N·m, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
That time when my Hyundai ix35's engine seized up really scared me—I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I was driving on the highway when the car suddenly started shaking violently, the tachometer went crazy bouncing up and down, and the temperature gauge shot straight up. I immediately turned on the hazard lights and pulled over, shutting off the engine without hesitation—another minute of driving could’ve blown the engine! Later, after towing it to the dealership, I found out the oil had run dry and the cooling system failed, causing internal engine seizure. The mechanic said repairs would be a hassle, likely requiring disassembly, inspection, and replacement of pistons and cylinder liners, plus towing and labor costs—easily several thousand bucks down the drain. The worst part? Delaying repairs could’ve led to total engine failure, and a brand-new replacement would’ve cost over ten grand. Looking back, I often slacked on oil changes and skimped on coolant checks. My advice: stick to regular maintenance, check the dipstick and coolant before long trips, and pull over immediately if the temp gauge spikes.
