Frequently Asked Questions?
Q: How do I confirm my first-gen Rio has this 1.6L (VIN 5) engine?
A: The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be "5". This distinguishes it from the base 1.5L engine (VIN 4). You can also check the under-hood emissions label for engine displacement.
Q: What warranty is provided?
A: This engine is covered by a 60-day warranty. To keep the warranty valid, you must provide proof of professional installation.
Q: Is this the same engine as the one in the 2003-2005 Hyundai Accent?
A: Yes, it is the same core Gamma engine. The Hyundai Accent of the same generation shared this powertrain. For a direct bolt-in, you must transfer all Rio-specific external components from your original engine.
