Goetz engines turned out to be remarkably unproblematic. Yes, after 60-70 thousand kilometers, immediately after a cold start, hydraulic lifters begin to tap, but after warming up, the knock subsides and does not progress with time. After 50-60 thousand kilometers, crankshaft oil seals can leak, due to the “fires of St. Elmo” on high-voltage wires, there are problems with starting in wet weather, spark plugs often need to be replaced twice as early as 30 thousand kilometers and most often cause the Check indication to turn on Engine. It will be more expensive to ignore it - you can "get" to replace not only the oxygen sensor ($140), but also the neutralizer ($800). And after three or four years, you often have to change a burned-out or punctured (do not neglect the protection of the engine compartment!) “corrugation” of the exhaust system ($ 150), although you can weld a universal “accordion” in its place.
After 80 thousand kilometers, the engine mounts begin to tire ($50-70). The first “bell” is increased vibrations, the second is a knock in the supports. The third, when the body of one of the supports collapses, it is better not to wait - the fallen power unit will damage the wheel drive. And do not tighten with the replacement of the timing belt - its breakage after 60 thousand kilometers threatens by no means a friendly meeting of valves with pistons, especially on 12-valve valves with a volume of 1.3 liters. And 1400 cc motors turned out to be the most picky about the quality of fuel: a little something - the engine stalls after a cold start or starts to “play” with speed. “Flashing” the control unit helps - if the machine is still under warranty, then it is free, and after the warranty period expires, you will have to pay about $100 for the operation.
However, if the throttle block is dirty, the speed will float in any of the motors. The crankcase ventilation system is to blame. Flushing is best entrusted to knowledgeable people. It is better to change the air filter at every maintenance after 15 thousand kilometers. This is easy to do on your own - unlike replacing the fuel filter hidden in the gas tank ($ 30), which is required every 60 thousand kilometers.
Cooling radiators ($ 250) due to leaks in the lower tanks were often changed under warranty and often did not live up to 100 thousand kilometers - more reliable ones appeared only after restyling. The “automatic machines” produced by Hyundai were also not very durable on the Goetz of the first years of production - sometimes, due to premature wear, they had to be sorted out before 100 thousand kilometers. And there are problems with the control electronics even now - the input and output shaft speed sensors are failing, because of which the “automatic” after 50-60 thousand kilometers can start to work jerky, or even go into emergency mode (remains in third gear). But the repair costs no more than $ 200, and otherwise, taking care of the “machine” comes down to changing the oil every 45 thousand kilometers and the filter after 60 thousand kilometers.
After 50-60 thousand kilometers, a manual transmission may also require intervention - more precisely, torn cables of the gear shift drive ($ 80 each). The driven clutch disc ($90) can last up to 120 thousand kilometers, and before that, it may be necessary to replace the drive seals, the intermediate axle shaft bearing and a pair of release bearings ($40), warning of their imminent "death" by whistling.
And the rear suspension is vociferous and in good condition. The upper mounts of unheated shock absorbers are tapping - and it's usually not the rubber bushings. If the "voice acting" of the suspension is annoying, you can replace the "native" harsh Mando shock absorbers with something softer (for example, Japanese Kayaba firms are suitable). The resource of shock absorbers is up to 60-70 thousand kilometers. The bushings and stabilizer struts "live" the same amount. Front shock absorbers ($90 each) require updating after 90-100 thousand kilometers - often together with thrust bearings (they are sold separately from the supports for only $10). Together with them, it makes sense to change the wheel bearings ($50), steering tips ($25), silent blocks ($40 per side) and ball joints ($25) of the front levers - both of them are changed separately.
Goetz's specific problem - the fragile studs for attaching the wheels to the hubs - has no age. But, as if anticipating future problems, the Koreans made the studs inexpensive ($1.5 each) and easily replaceable.
Most Getz are equipped with power steering, and on pre-styling cars with a 1.6 engine, there is also an MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) electric power steering located on the steering shaft. In the "electric" knocks of the worm shaft on irregularities are possible, in the "hydraulics" the pipe connections and pump seals sweat - neither of which is critical. A small backlash in the engagement of the gear and steering rack after 120 thousand kilometers is treated by adjustment, and crunches when turning the steering wheel disappear after replacing the steering shaft bearing ($ 20).
The brakes also turned out to be long-lived: the front pads often last longer than 40 thousand kilometers, and the discs - up to 100 thousand kilometers. The pads in the rear drum brakes serve at least the same amount (in cars with a 1.6-liter engine in our market, they are disc - their pads “walk” one and a half times less).
Goetz body successfully resists corrosion while its coating is intact: under a layer of paint - galvanic zinc-containing primer. But the metal is not of the best quality - do not be lazy to immediately tint chips and scratches, otherwise rust will bloom in a matter of days. The paint, especially for pre-styling cars, is not very durable and after six or seven years it begins to swell on the trunk lid, doors, thresholds ... And plastic bumpers and door handles can begin to shed even earlier.
But the salon is doing well. The budget upholstery is not wiped, the seats do not sit out. And the interior creaks even in fresh cars. Not too reliable buttons for heating the seats and power windows, and the “proprietary” problem with fogging of windows in wet weather can annoy - even frequent replacement of the cabin ventilation filter does not help. The air conditioner saves, but after three or four years it will require recharging due to a gradual refrigerant leak.
On average, "getzik" loses 8-9% per year of the original price. A three-four-year-old car in good condition can be bought for only 220-240 thousand rubles - however, it will be a three-door with a 1.1-liter engine and “mechanics”, which is only suitable for a leisurely drive alone. The most powerful and expensive 1600 cc cars (up to a quarter of offers) cost 270-350 thousand rubles with a manual transmission, with an "automatic" - 20-30 thousand rubles more expensive. And the most popular versions with a 1.4 engine are estimated at 250-340 thousand rubles. And you can sell such cars without any problems - there is a demand.
Article rating
Hyundai Getz- a compact, comfortable, well-controlled car, it can be bought for less than 10 thousand dollars. When these cars first hit the market, they found their owners very quickly, not only because of the low price.
Really problem-free motors work in the Hyundai Getz, the only thing that can happen after 60 thousand km. mileage- These are the current crankshaft seals. Spark plugs very often fail 30000 km. and because of them, the "Check Engine" light comes on. Therefore, as soon as this bulb lights up, you should not waste time and immediately start replacing the candles, because if this is not done, the oxygen sensor and even the expensive ($ 800) converter may fail. It was also noticed that after about 4 years it is time to change the corrugation of the exhaust system, which can burn out or break through, especially if you do not keep the engine compartment clean. You can also put an accordion instead of a corrugation.
After Goetz skates 80000 km. it's time to change the motor mounts, which cost about $60. Usually, it all starts with vibrations, then a knock appears in the bearings, if they are not changed at this stage, then the housing will collapse on one of the bearings, after which the engine may fall and damage the wheel drive.
Also, do not forget that the timing belt needs to be changed once every 60,000 km., to avoid serious consequences. There are engines with a volume of 1.3 liters, and there are also 1.4-liter engines, and so, the latter are more picky about fuel quality. If the quality of the fuel is low, then the engine will stall until the car warms up, or it happens that the speed of the car floats. These situations can be corrected quite simply - reflash the control unit, such an operation will cost about $ 100 if the car is not under warranty.
It is also necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the throttle block, if this block becomes dirty, then floating speed will appear on all engines in the Goetz. The crankcase ventilation system is the culprit for contamination of the throttle valve block, so it is necessary to clean it periodically, moreover, the work is quite delicate, it must be trusted to professionals. Also desirable once every 15,000 km. do the replacement of the air filter, fortunately, you can even do it yourself. And of course, once every 60,000 km. you need to change the fuel filter, which is located in the gas tank.
After 100000 km. mileage cooling radiators often failed, because the lower tanks began to flow. After restyling, they began to install stronger tanks.
Also, automatic boxes from Hyundai, which were installed on the Getz of the first years of production, do not differ in particular durability, there were frequent cases that these boxes were worn out already for 100,000 km. mileage. There are still cases when the speed sensors of the input and output shafts fail, this causes problems with the electronics on the automatic gearbox, after which the car starts to twitch, and in the future the automatic transmission goes into emergency mode - 3rd gear will always be on. Fortunately, the repair of this box is inexpensive - about $ 200. And if you follow the box and once every 45,000 km. change the oil and filter, then there will be no problems at all.
In most cases, a manual transmission is installed in the Hyundai Getz, it may also require some repairs after 60 thousand km. - the cables of the gearshift drive are torn, as for the clutch driven disk, it is already failing after 120000 km. mileage. A new one costs $90. Approximately for 100,000 km. mileage usually it is necessary to change the drive seals, the intermediate bearing of the axle shaft, the release bearings.
Suspension
Even if the rear suspension is in good condition, then it makes a considerable amount of sounds. For example, the upper mounts on the shock absorbers knock if they do not have time to warm up. This, of course, is nothing, but if these noises are annoying, then you can change the regular shock absorbers to softer ones.
Rear shock absorbers will last no more than 70,000 km. mileage. The bushings and stabilizer struts have the same resource. As for the front shock absorbers, they can last longer - about 100,000 km., After which they will have to be changed, and they cost $ 90 each.
Usually it is necessary to immediately change the support bearings, each bearing costs $ 10. You can also replace wheel bearings, steering tips, silent blocks, ball bearings of the front levers.
There is still such a problem with the Getz - these are rather weak studs for attaching the wheels to the hubs. But the good thing is that these studs are inexpensive - $ 1.5 and can be easily changed.
Almost all Hyundai Getz have power steering, but older versions, still pre-styling, with a 1.6-liter engine, have electric boosters.
Pipe connections can fog up in the hydraulic booster, and knocks at the worm shaft appear on the electric booster when the car is driving on a bad road. But it's all nonsense. If there is a backlash after 120000 km, then it can be adjusted. There may also be a slight crunch when turning the steering wheel, which means it's time to change the steering shaft bearing for $20.
brakes
The brakes in Goetz last quite a long time - the front pads serve about 40,000 km, front discs - 100000 km. There are drums on the rear wheels, the pads on them last about the same. On machines with a volume of 1.6 liters, there are disc brakes on the rear wheels.
Getz's body
The body of the Hyundai Getz resists rust well if the paintwork is in order. A galvanized zinc-containing primer is applied under the paint. But the metal itself is not good enough, therefore, as soon as chips or scratches appear, they must be immediately painted over so that rust does not grow.
On pre-styling cars, the paint is not particularly resistant, and after 7 years of service, it can swell on the doors, trunk and sills.
Salon
The interior retains its appearance for a long time, it uses budget materials, but the fabric on the seats is not rubbed. Sometimes there are creaks in the cabin. The car has air conditioning, however, it must be recharged every 4 years. A considerable amount of luggage can be placed in the trunk, thanks to the correct shape of the luggage compartment.
Price
Hyundai Getz is a budget car, but it is in demand, it loses about 9% of its original cost in a year. Now a decent car with a volume of 1.1 and in a 3-door body can be bought for about 240,000 rubles, but it’s a bit crowded, and you won’t accelerate much. But the most nimble 1.6-liter modifications can be bought for about 300-350 thousand rubles. But they will have a manual transmission, and for those who want an automatic, you will have to add about 30,000 rubles more. But modifications with a 1.4-liter engine are considered the most popular, they can be taken on the market for about 250-340 thousand rubles. Hyundai Getz is a liquid car, you can always sell it later, because budget cars are always in demand.
Engine 1.4 l., manual transmission, power windows, air conditioning, one airbag, heated front seats, rear drum brakes.
Moved to Getz c VAZ 21093 i, which drove 4 years. I’ll make a reservation right away - after 1 year of operation 21093 the engine was forced. The cylinder head was modified and a sports camshaft No. 52 was installed, which added agility to it. I had the experience of driving such cars: Niva, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda accord tape S (190 hp on the mechanics).
We chose for a long time, re-read all the tests in magazines with my wife, and at first we chose the Accent, because it suited us for the price / quality. But then Goetz turned up and re-read all the tests, and then a ride, we decided to take it. It was used for 1 year, with 30,000 km. run.
Now it has 37,000 km.
When we were given a ride on the Getze for the first time by its salesman, my wife and I had only good impressions, especially after 21093. Engine noise in the cabin appears only after 3000 rpm. The plastic of the panel is of course “oak”, but nothing rattles. The cabin is quite ascetic, but all the levers and control buttons are located in convenient places.
I was pleasantly surprised by the high seating position of the driver and passengers, while no one reaches his head to the ceiling. There are much more rear seats for passengers than in the nine and accent. No wonder they say about this car that it is bigger inside than outside.
Engine - from low revs goes so-so. If you smoothly move from a place to the 1st, and then sharply press the gas to the floor, then the car thinks for a second and begins to slowly gain momentum. 21093 did not have this - I pressed it and she immediately went briskly (even before forcing). Although I heard that 16-valve subcompact engines are not very lucky from low revs, so I was not very surprised. But if you release the clutch more sharply, then it starts off as it should and my ex 21093 cannot keep up with it. By the way, the Getz motor is very similar in character to the Honda accord tape S, I don’t compare cars, but I’m talking about the nature of the motors - they are not very good at the bottom, but the power wakes up after the promotion.
On the track, the Getz showed itself only on the good side, especially compared to 21093. With a difference in weight of about 100 kg (the Getz is heavier) and a 97-horsepower engine, the Getz behaves much better in such disciplines as acceleration and reaching a maximum speed of 176 km / h (with 3 passengers + driver, full trunk, some cargo was on the knees of the rear passengers).
Although the Getz is 18 cm shorter than the 21093, it is surprisingly much less "goaty" on the uneven track, I think because of the lower ground clearance (at least somewhere it helps) and better aerodynamics.
Suspension is quite stiff, but I like it, because. the car behaves well on the road (not rolling), the steering is very good and in general it is nimble.
But the manual transmission is twofold. The gears are long and the work of the engine - manual transmission is very elastic. On the one hand, this is convenient. You can switch gears less often, especially in the city. But on the other hand, it killed the explosive character in the car, although there are not many fans like me. My wife travels and is happy. And lovers of hotter need to take a 1.6-liter engine, there are all disc brakes, although of course - a little expensive.
I almost forgot - I really liked the visibility into the side mirrors, they are hemispherical.
Breakdowns - only one, the bearing of the hydraulic booster tensioner whistles, but has not changed yet.
The car is good, in any case, domestic cars can not be compared with it.
The appearance of the little Hyundai Getz does not make the heart beat faster, and many, passing by, do not even notice this car. However, this has its advantages for those who are not used to standing out.
Model history
The first serial Hyundai Getz was released in 2002. In addition to South Korea, the car was assembled in India, Malaysia and even Venezuela. The subcompact was offered in many markets and therefore had several names. For example, in Korea and Syria - Click, in India - Getz Prime, and in Japan - TV. In Venezuela, the baby was generally available under a false name - Dodge Brisa II.
Three years after the global production of the model gained full speed, the Koreans decided to restyling. The car received more rounded headlights, an updated grille and taillights. From that point on, the Getz model was sold unchanged until 2009, when the Hyundai i20 took its place. However, in many countries, the production of the model was still ongoing, in particular, Getz was supplied to Russia until 2011.

In a car of this segment, the choice of the right engine is determined, above all, by efficiency. For this reason, the base gasoline engine immediately disappears. It only seems that a small unit will save on fuel. In order to accelerate the car at least a little, you will have to “turn” the engine strongly, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in fuel consumption. And although the appetite will not be too big, it will be commensurate with the level of consumption of engines with a capacity of 1.3 and 1.4 liters.
The base 1.1-liter unit has mechanical valve clearance compensation, which requires periodic monitoring (once every 30,000 km) and complex adjustment. The 1.3-liter engine is similar in design to the base unit, but is equipped with hydraulic valve clearance compensators. Unfortunately, hydraulic lifters wear out fairly quickly, resulting in a very noisy engine immediately after starting. The 1.6-liter engine has a variable valve timing system and two camshafts in the block head. All gasoline units are equipped with a timing belt drive, which must be replaced every 60,000 km.
Is it worth considering the purchase of an "exotic" diesel modification? At today's prices and the quality of diesel fuel, this is not the most profitable solution. Diesel units of the CRDi family, especially at high mileage, are prone to malfunctions that are expensive to fix. One of the most common failures is the failure of the boost pressure sensor. But there are pluses - diesel engines are more flexible and consume less fuel - 5-7 l / 100 km. It is worth noting that the 3-cylinder unit does not differ in softness of work: it growls and vibrates strongly.
With age, in many instances, engine oil leaks through the oil sump and crankshaft oil seals. Nevertheless, there is no need to dismantle engines for serious repairs before 200-300 thousand km.
Design features
Hyundai Getz has two body types: 3-door and 5-door. The most popular, of course, are the 5-door versions. Unfortunately, many cars of the first years of production are very poorly equipped and do not even have air conditioning, ABS and power steering. The last two entered the list of serial equipment after the update in 2005.
In a car of this class, there is almost never room for a complex suspension scheme or a technologically advanced transmission. The thesis is also true for the Hyundai Getz. The front suspension is a classic MacPherson strut and the rear is a torsion beam. A choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic was offered. According to the results of crash tests EuroNCAP Hyundai Getz earned 4 races.
Typical problems and malfunctions
Goetz in terms of reliability, perhaps one of the best cars in the history of the brand. But he is far from the notorious Japanese impeccability. What can fail? First of all, the suspension, which is a common thing on Russian roads. In front, the stabilizer struts and bushings, as well as silent blocks of levers, are knocked out quite quickly. Behind - shock absorbers wear out prematurely, and anthers sometimes begin to knock. Due to the separate arrangement of springs and shock absorbers, replacing the latter is cheaper and easier. With age, drum brakes can also rattle.
Getz owners complain about the unsatisfactory quality of the paintwork, which is vulnerable to the slightest scratches, and sometimes even peels off. However, thanks to the 90% galvanization of the body, there is no outbreak of an epidemic of corrosion. Things are different with the subframe and exhaust system, which often rust. In older cars, traces of corrosion can be found in the engine compartment, on the bottom, chassis and brake system elements.
Sometimes the power plant controller malfunctions or the high voltage wires fail. The rest of the shortcomings are usually minor. Problems with the central lock, tailgate lock, ABS sensors (contact oxidation) and flimsy door seals are another typical sores of this model.
The market is quite well stocked with spare parts: they are available and very cheap. Therefore, Goetz can be recommended to novice drivers. Troubleshooting and the consequences of possible accidents will be quick and easy.
Conclusion
It is quite possible to find a still young and already inexpensive Hyundai Getz on the market. In addition to an excellent price-to-age ratio, the Getz provides a decent level of comfort and a fair amount of space for its class. But, unfortunately, the car also has disadvantages, including rather poor equipment and finishing materials of not the best quality. However, the compact in terms of reliability surpasses much more reputable rivals. Thus, it is an excellent choice for people with a rational approach who need a reliable, inexpensive and practical car.
Typical faults:
1. Engine roughness is usually caused by faulty high voltage wires.
2. A loud exhaust sound occurs when the flexible connector of the exhaust pipes is worn.
3. Short-lived rear shock absorbers are easy to change and have a wide range of inexpensive replacements.

Hyundai Getz 1.4 liter engine 97 hp with a 16-valve timing mechanism turned out to be a fairly reliable and durable unit. The engine received the factory designation G4EE. With careful operation, the motor could easily move up to 300 thousand kilometers. A slight knock of hydraulic lifters on a cold engine is not a reason to worry, but replacing the timing belt should be done on time. Today we will tell you in detail about all the features of the motor.
In-line injection engines of the ALFA series have a huge number of modifications. These are four-cylinder four-stroke liquid-cooled gasoline engines with in-line vertical arrangement of cylinders and a 16 valve cylinder head. The engine has hydraulic lifters and does not need to adjust the valve clearance.
Hyundai Getz 1.4 liter engine
The engine block of the Hyundai Getz engine is a single cast iron casting that forms the cylinders, the cooling jacket and the oil line channels. The blocks are made of special high-strength cast iron, the cylinders are bored directly in the body of the block. On the cylinder block, special lugs, flanges and holes for fastening parts, assemblies and assemblies, as well as channels of the main oil line are made. At the bottom of the cylinder block there are five crankshaft main bearing supports with removable covers that are bolted to the block. Engine main bearing caps are machined complete with the block and are not interchangeable.
Cylinder head Getz 1.4 liter
Cylinder head Getz 1.4, made of aluminum alloy, common to all engine cylinders. In the lower part of the cylinder head, channels are cast through which the liquid circulates, which cools the combustion chambers. Seats and valve guides are pressed into the head. The intake and exhaust valves have one spring each, fixed through the plate with two crackers. The G4EE engine has two camshafts. Quite an interesting design, see the photo below -
1 – a bolt of fastening of a gear pulley of a camshaft;
2 – an epiploon of a camshaft;
3 – a cover of the forward bearing of a camshaft;
4 – a camshaft of inlet valves;
5 – a chain of a drive of a camshaft of inlet valves;
6 – a camshaft of final valves;
7 - hydraulic valve lifter (hydraulic compensator);
8 - cylinder head
Timing drive device Hyundai Getz 1.4 liters
The timing gear drive is combined, since both the timing belt and a small chain are used there at the same time. The belt transmits torque from the crankshaft pulley to one camshaft, and on the opposite side there is a small chain that connects, through sprockets, the second camshaft, thereby synchronizing the timing.
Replacing the timing belt with a Goetz 1.4 liter is required every 60 thousand kilometers, the chain must be changed every 120 kilometers. Usually, the rattling of a stretched chain is already heard at 90-100 thousand mileage.
