Is it pretty straight forward or something only a professional should do? I have changed them in the past in other cars and it wasnt too hard. Im guessing the 2.0 is alot easier than the 3.8 too right? And its still 60,000 miles when you should change the belt and water pump?

I believe the Genesis has a timing chain. Not sure what the recommended maintenance is.

If its a chain, then usually you can go much longer than 60K, since they tend to not wear out like belts do.

Take a look at this site for technical information on all Hyundais.



https://www.hyundaitechinfo.com/



You will need to create a login identity and password. But the site gives you all kinds of technical, repair and maintenance information.



As for the Genesis Coupe, it lists all models as using timing chains. Even gives repair procedures.
