The 2009 Hyundai Sonata is equipped with a timing chain in the engine, which is an enhancement compared to a timing belt as it does not require replacement. Timing belt replacements are among the costliest routine maintenance tasks, typically needed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Contrastingly, a timing chain is durable and can last for over 300,000 miles. However, I would suggest replacing the water pump every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It is also advisable to conduct an annual inspection of the chain to ensure it is secure and undamaged to prevent any potential breakage.
