The 2004 Hyundai Sonata is equipped with a timing belt rather than a timing chain, which wasn't used in Sonatas until the 2006 models. A timing chain can last the lifetime of the vehicle, while the timing belt should be checked regularly, preferably every 10,000 miles or 12 months. If any wear, tear, damage, or breakage is detected on the timing belt, it may need replacement, costing between $38 to $188 for the belt itself. Additionally, professional labor for replacing the belt can cost an extra $50 to $240.
