Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[janeiroseis]

[SIZE=3]I had a chance to "play" with 2 SFs sa Ilocos recently.

Malakas!

My family was also at Ilocos (Norte) on the last weekend of October and saw 2 SFs.

The other one was a black SF owned by the Farinas according to my Sis in Law.

While the other one was parked in front of Fort Ilocandia.

Sino ba dito may stock ng stepboard for SF. Pls. PM thanks.

You mean OEM Hyundai SF stepboards? im in china now, i checked with the supplier. medyo tumaas coz of the higher RMB.if you want i can bring u in a month for 23K(installation included). PM me if interested.

Duda ako don sa X1R na pinalagay ko na additive sa 1K PMS ko.
Wala gaanong makitang info sa google and ung website nila down pa.

duda ako sa lahat ng mga car additives, better stick ka nalang sa mga OEM oils or better mag full synthetic nalang mas better ang gains

Thanks sa link. I am convinced and I'll take your advice.
Next PMS, no more oil additive. 1,000 din ung X1R na yon.

yuichi meron kang nakitang carmat for the SF yung pang 3 rows na black rubber?

[Horsepower]

That's weird, bakit nilagyan ng X1R??? nagpalagay po ba kayo sir Ferdine?

Additive is a no-no esp on such a new engine.

tama nga sinabi mo, tahimik talaga ang SF. This car is soo good that I started to get bored sooner on it and handed the key to my wife immediately after the break-in. Na miss ko ang wwwhhhhhhmmmmm sound sa makina ng luma kong civic pag nag engine brake ako. Dinig na dinig kasi sa loob. Pero itong SF minsan nakakatakot. Hindi mo alam ang bilis mo na pala dahil tamihik sa loob. Ang gusto ko lang sana sa Sports mode ng shifter ay yong + (upshift) ay yong hila-in mo at hindi itulak sa taas. Mahilig akong mag engine brake sa 3rd gear kaya downshift is patulak sa taas. Kaso lang sa mga design ng sports mode ngayon, + sa taas at - sa baba. Hindi ba pweding pag baligtarin to?

i guess the reason why the - is down eh because "downshift" nga tawag don diba when you shift from a high gear to a lower gear....inversely...pag nag shift ka from a low gear to a higher gear...eh "up shift" ang effect non diba...kaya the + is on top....

Honestly, I didn't know about this. I didn't ask them to add an additive like X1R. Sila lang ang naglagay at pinakita nalang sa aking ang bill. This is learning lesson for SF owners who are going for the 1K PMS. Tanungin nyo kung ano ang scope sa trabaho.

I tried to ask the SA about the X1R but per their experience, there are more satisfied customers than the sorry ones. Ayos lang naman raw ang X1R. Mas mainam na ginawa nila 5 years ang warranty para sa wear and tear kung meron man. Ang napansin ko lang na right after the 1K PMS, the gear shifting was more dynamic than before. Napakadali mag shift ng gear at noon in heavy traffic parang naka 3rd palagi. After the service it can easily shift to 4 with the same driving condition at parang mas relax ang makina kaya nag improve ang FC. I don't know the effect of the additive to the wear and tear but performance wise may pinagbago to the + side dahil ang lakas ng hatak.

I still have to read it all. But I think I'll have a serious look on this next time my SF goes for the next service. There could be some exceptions but to believe in additives is actually a risk. Hindi natin alam kung kaninong "interest" these informations like in the link above could benefit. Surely the consumer will benefit in the long run of course. But there's another document though quite dated, discussing about the product X1R - a test by a Helsinki Technical University

Sir Yuichi, I'll study about your price. Will PM you later.

I think yung mga casa na naglalagay ng oil additives may kikbak lang yan
sabi sakin ng isang mechanic maganda lang maglagay ng additives sa mga "old" engines hindi yung new ones pati bago pa yan e bakit naman lalagyan agad ng oil additives?
di ko lang gets correct me if im wrong ha

You made a point and I am starting to seriously think about it. Ang masabi ko lang na if halimbawa additives could cause deterioration to new engines then bakit pa lagyan ang lumang makina. mas lalong ma affected ang older engines dahil old na eh. Metalurgy wise mas lalong kakainin ang luma kay sa bago di ba? So what's the point of putting it in older engines?
Kung sabagay tama ka... mas mainam na yong makaiwas ke sa matamaan.

[kokey]

Wala talaga standard ang Hyundai CASA.

Our Hyudai Starex tci * Hyundai Makati - Cousin Starex tci * Hyundai Laguna

1st 1000 PMS

Makati
Change engine oil lang ginawa plus the usual checks. (5.5 liters of oil)

Laguna
Change engine oil (6.5 liters of oil)
Change transmission & deferential oil. (reasons: hindi daw bagay sa weather natin ang oil from Korea.)

Up to now pag change oil ako e 5.5 liters pa rin nilalagay ko, e sakto naman talaga sya. Up to 10,000 pms lang kasi ako sa Hyundai makati kasi mas malapit Laguna sa amin & sarado na MAKATi kaya Laguna na talaga ako pa-pms. Parati sinasabi sa akin ng SA na kulang daw dala ko na oil, dapat daw e 7 liters kasi 6.5 daw dapat.

Sa laguna pati e hindi galing sa sealed container ang gamit na oil kaya ako na nagdadala sarili ko oil unlike sa makati na sigurado ka na galing talaga sa sealed container ang oil nila kasi naka-container sya na 1liter. Sa Laguna kasi e nasa drum ang oil nila, hindi ka sure baka may mga dumi ang pantakal nila or ang naka-expose na hose from the container e may nakapasok na insekto o kung anung contaminants.

Ngayon lang pati ako may nabasa na CASA na nag-advice gumamit ng additives.

Sorry po medyo OT.

Think twice before you buy a HYUNDAI.

might be ordering a santa fe soon... latest would be next week. sold my car already so i need to make up my mind. tried reading this thread but it's already 2am and it's more than a hundred pages long. i just have a few questions:

1. What's the fuel consumption of a 4x2 diesel SF? a 4x4 diesel SF? city driving and highway driving.
2. have there been common SF problems/complaints here?
3. Where's the best place to buy one? what freebies/deals will they give?

thanks

If you backread i posted my FC- best was 14+ and worst was 11+ combined city/hway


2. have there been common SF problems/complaints here?
Engine too quiet/ride too comfy


3. Where's the best place to buy one? what freebies/deals will they give?

Before i bought-i've been to many dealers to get the best deal,try this and schedule a test drive- 0915-569-3782

[wilfy819]
