Hyundai Accent Wheel Cylinder Change?
i have a hydundai Accent 2003 and mileage 55k on it. Since lst week break hav become tough n requires hard pedal to apply, when i took to Tires Plus they recommend to replace the wheel cylinder and brake system flush which costs 330, will i get it done some where else at low cost? Advice plz A: The wheel cylinders, if indeed leaking, are covered under the 5 year/ 60,000 mile warranty (even if you’re the 10th owner). A dealer, using your VIN, can determine the ‘warranty start date’ of your vehicle. If you are beyond the 5 year mark, new cylinders from Hyundai do run about $30.00 each. The shop of course, has to buy them from someone, then they in turn mark up the price to make a small profit for themselves. This is normal and expected. You shouldn’t need to flush the system unless it has been ‘opened’ many times and is contaminated. Brake fluid is a clear amber-tinted color. Ask them why they recommend changing it if there is no contamination. If price is a concern, have them print you
