Sonata GL V6-3.0L (1997)
Timing Belt: Adjustments
NOTE: The timing belt tension does not normally require adjustment. However, if noise results from the timing belt hitting the cover, timing belt
tension should be adjusted using the following procedure.
1. Remove the access cover.
NOTE: This job is easier if the air conditioner compressor belt is removed.
2. Loosen the timing belt tensioner mounting bolt 1 to 2 turns.
3. Turn the crankshaft 2 revolutions in a clockwise direction.
4. Tighten the timing belt tensioner mounting bolt.
5. Install the access cover.
