noise coming from belt area

Husband mentioned doing that but also said it is no easy task to remove drive belt. He is a mechanic,but old school,but knows basics of an engine. Have you had any problems like this with this particular make,and motor?

Not really!.. How many miles on vehicle/engine?.. Oil changes been kept up to date??

59,280 miles on it and we just purchased it Didn't notice noise until after changed the oil and put what book calls for. been reading about tensioner problems and Hyundai telling one person to put 10/30 in instead of 5/20. We did drain some oil and put lucas in it,noise is still there Car is in great shape new brakes and low miles

Yep

sorry I was to fast responding to your last reply you were not done. I answered about miles. Did it under edit so maybe you haven't seen it,that is why I am writing now. Sorry

Yeah, I'm almost one fingered typist (LOL).... It's hard to say without actually hearing it but with no more miles on it than that it shouldn't be timing chain related.. *IF* the previous owner changed oil as required!.. Really need to remove the belt and try it... Hope it works out, I like that car!.. BTW, we don't have a lot of problems with them @ the shop!!

thanks,husband says one day he will do that,remove belt,but he isn't real worried about it,car runs great,all lights go out right away so,hopefully we don't have any problems with it. Love the car! thanks again!

Yep
