In the 2013 Hyundai Sonata, the starter is positioned under the oil filter and above the A/C compressor on the driver's side of the engine. Accessing and removing the starter can be tricky as you'll have to reach underneath the vehicle where the transmission connects to the engine block. A 14mm socket will be required to loosen the bolts securing the starter. Make sure to disconnect the battery cables before starting the replacement process. The nuts needed to open the heater hose are located behind a plastic air vent just below the turbo. Replacement starter costs can vary between $65 and $120 depending on whether it is an OEM or aftermarket component.
