Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[kimika]

Ive been to Hyundai at the forth today para personal ko na makita SF. ang nakita ko lang na medyo mahina ay yung supplied na Kumho tires..Lahat po ba ng SF ay Kumho tires ang nakalagay?I want to change it to Continental or Michellin

same impression with you re. kumho but when i research kasali pala ang kumho sa le mans at wrc so di sya mahinang klase just look at the sipes of kumho kaya maganda sya when cornering

[safala]

medyo nakalog na naman utak ko kasi tong pinsan ko inintroduce ulit yung Ford Everest na 4x4 at 4x2 07..anyway nagdesisyon na ako na SF na..medyo bulky kasi yung FE...at malamang mas maganda at mas comfortable SF.
any suggestions to make up my mind to 101%?

Kinonsider ko rin ang Everest. But as you said bulky siya at saka di ako nagandahan sa 3rd row seat. Bench type kasi at saka walang headrest. Though maganda rin handling and stability at saka pang offroad talaga.

what sounds are you talking about... the normal sound that you will hear is from the seat belts when no one is wearing them specially sa front seats, kasi tumatama sya sa sides...

other than that wala akong naririnig our of the ordinary...

ive seen their website & pretty much impressed with the achivements..i hope the quality that are in US/UK are the same here in Pinas..(cguro naman) anyway if that so..well ok pala!

I notice my SF has a lout of sound (not kalampag) from underneath and from the cabin especially pag nalulubak. But I think those are usual. Wala naman ako naririnig na Unusual though.

I know this might be a stupid question since I'm not so much into car tech stuffs but I was wondering what a turbo timer is for. Is it advisable to install one? Can someone here direct me to a link to previous threads about the subject so as to be informed? Or better yet give me a crash course about it? Your reply will be much obliged. Thanks

buy me a coffee first

lahat ng may turbo kailangan palamigin muna bago patayin yung makina, lalo pag hataw or long drive.

pero kung nagmamadali kang bumaba or stop and drive ka, dapat mong mahintay pa ng mga 1minute para don. pero kung may turbo timer ka, kahit patayin mo na at hawak mo na susi, aandar pa rin yung makina depende sa setting ( 1 min, 30 secs..etc). so hindi mo na kailangang maghintay pa.

pero ako nagttext lang ako while waiting kaya kahit ala Turbo timer ayus lang.

Mga SF Owners,

Speaking of cooling down the engine before turning off - do you always do this kahit na mga 10kms travel lang.

Kasi office ko from my house is about 20minutes lang and less than 10kms lang to travel. Pagdating ko sa Office Parking, pinapatay ko agad engine. Wala bang issue to?

I know that sa Manual nakalagay na cool down muna before turning the engine off especially long drives and I don't think a 10km travel is already a long drive kaya pinapatay ko na agad.

Your thoughts?

[tiboyx3m]

Maraming salamas sir yuichi
Sa next EB or event treat kita coffee if ever we do meet.
I have another question. Comparing gas variant to diesel, can someone give me a detailed list on parts need replacing for periodic check ups? (prices included) ex; oil- ? liters and price, para may comparison lang sa maintenance costs between gas and diesel. AFAIK, gas yata mas mura maintenance. AM I right?

[washburn]

*nels76 maganda kahit 1 minute mo cool down ang turbo para safe,

*tiboyx3m halos parehas lang ang maintenance ng dalawa mahal nga lang labor ng papalit ng timing belt sa diesel dunno sa iba, try ko check resibo

[nels76]

Hmmm.

Thanks, yuichi.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

Angas ng SF sa Avatar mo ha.

SF owners check out top gear's december issue, looks like the new SF's (hyundai pasig test unit) have AVT DVD head units standard. it's being compared to the Outlander and CR-V though they're pricing could be wrong and the # of airbags (6 daw!) but the DVD head unit is definitely AVT. Lucky new buyers. hehehe

*washburn - search ko na rin sa previous posts, may nakita yata ako dati na breakdown ng cost sa parts n labor regarding periodic maintenance sa SF. I just got home now and let the turbo cool down for 1 minute sa old MPV ko bago ko off engine. Practice lang uli ika nga. Salamas po ng marami
To SF owners, any major problems occurring from your rides that we should know about as of this time? Sa mga taga HARI, dealers etc. anything?

Share ko lang pala kanina, nakatayo ako sa labas ng coffee shop in banawe (smoking) around 10:30 pm, may dumaan na SF CRDI, ang silent ng tsikot na to grabe. After a few seconds isang suv din ang dumaan (d ko na mention what) gas variant pero mas may noise. I guess the claim about lesser engine noise is true indeed. A big plus for a diesel lover like myself.

Very informative indeed. Thanks Yuichi, kailangan palang palamigin ang SF natin before turning off the the ignition key. Ngayon ko lang nalaman yun ha! Ano bang magiging consequences kapag hindi pinapalamig ang engine? Ever since kasi hindi ko pinapalamig yung SF ko.
I owe you a cup of coffee sir!

sir check mo din yung sunglass cmpartment mo baka yun ang kumakalog ganun din ako dati hirap na kahahanap yung sunglass ko lang pala

[O!lman]

check nyo rin yung mga pockets at toolbox compartment. Baka may mga unsecured na gamit o tools doon na kumakalog!
