The code he came up with is P1443 which came up as EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL VALVE my question is in the book of codes definitions it says for ford does it have to be specifically for a Hyundai vehicle? If this code is right is this easy to repair? and what are the symptoms for a car doing this? | |

| | Cars... what is your dream car? and what is your ideal car? | | Well, eversince I was a little boy, I have always wanted a Knight Rider for myself. And up till today, I still do.
Even though some of the technology is a little out dated, I am sure with the latest technology added and updated to the interior of the car, it would be just as cool to have a car like KITT.As I grew older, my preference of the models I would like to own changes. Even when KITT is always on my mind, I still look at other cars that are available locally.My first impression of a really cool car was the 1985 Honda Prelude. The sleek stream line of the car, plus the two door sporty look reminds me so much of my favorite car!Then came the Honda Accord. A very reliable car that is big enough for a whole family, and still can be modified with minimal body kit to give that really sporty look.By and by, I started to look at the bigger sedans. The Nissan Cedric was my next favorite.
Then came the Toyota Estima (first generation).
Then the Honda Odyssey.
Now I am setting my eyes on either the Hyundai Sonata or the Chervolet Epica.heh heh... I wonder, when I can finally get my car, what will it be.of course, all the above mentioned are dream cars...... | |

| | Roaring noise from rear wheels | | My girlfriend has a 2000 Hyundai Sonata, it makes a loud roaring noise when driving, once in a while it will make a loud "bump" noise. The car rides fine and has no other issues, I thought it could be a bearing. | |
| | Taxi fare to be increased com Jan08 | | I was sitting down and thinking about this issue for a while.
Let's take for example, the common model, Hyundai Sonata, that is being used as a cab here.
The average cost is about $80,000. The average lifespan of a taxi here is 7 years before the car is sent to the scrap yard.
Assuming that insurance is about $1000 per year due to the multiple driver coverage.
Assuming that the taxi travel about 1000km per day (24 hour day, 2 shifts). This would mean there is a need to service the car every fortnight based on a 10,000km cycle.
If every servicing cost $200 each time, that works out to $400 per month. $4800 per year.
The daily rental of a taxi is $92. That works out to $33,580 per year.Cost of petrol is borne by the driver, so we will not work this costing into consideration.That means, the company will have to fork out $80,000 + $4800x7 for the cab and its maintenance.
This will work out to $113,600 for the entire lifespan of 7 years.
Assuming there would be repair works for wear and tear for normal usage, we add another 20% to the cost for the entire 7 years. This will add another $22,720 which will bring the total to $136,320.
For easy calculation, we round up... | |
