I've worked on my 2006 Hyundai Sonata for years. I had to replace the alternator last year because of the head gasket oil leak. And it was a cold February day and it took me 4 hours because I didn't know the quick tips I'm showing you in this video. Since I had to replace the alternator again in my Sonata V6, I decided I would help all the other Hyundai owners out and save them some $$. Follow these steps to replace the alternator in your Sonata and pay a mechanic for the hard stuff. These secret tips also work for making easy work to replace the serpentine belt on a 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Hyundai Sonata 3.3L V6 UPDATE: my sonata is no more. I suggest anyone with a sonata with high mileage watch for getting an engine light for timing too advanced. it's caused by the oil control valves which get sludged up. There was a TSB on it i guess and they changed the way the valves are made slightly. But it's a hard change and I never got it done. As a result the timing chain tensioners have broken or won't stay tight, something, which is now causing issues with the oil pump keeping pressure because the timing chain drives it. Mechanic said $1500 to work on that. Better to go with rebuilt engine. $2500 to replace, car is only work $2500. If it'd caught it earlier and had the oil control valves changed might have got a few more years out of it. Had 155k on it, so happy it lasted me 11 years.
