Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[DragonHeart]

Hello guys, I just want to know if some of you already experienced some unusual sounds coming from the cabin internal components and under chassis of your santa fe?

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...

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!

I've heard of MOTUL's CRDI engine oil specifically formulated for our sensitive CRDI diesel engines. Haven't tried it coz my odo is past 3k na. Will try it cguro sa 5k checkup nalang but will have to confirm with the CASA if this will affect the warranty. I think I've read it somewhere in this thread that someone has already tried it narin. Why don't you check it out also.

My father-in-law to be owns a Hyundai Tucson and its really really great. Im looking at getting the 2007 Santa Fe, but I'm thinking twice since there were issues before about the after sales service. Remember the issue with the 2003 - 2005 Starex not getting parts and service. Has it now improved? Guys i need your help.

It's my first time to own a Hyundai and so far no complaints on after sales service. About 4 weeks ago my wife heard an unusual sound when starting her SF in the morning. She does not know anything about engines but she knows when there is something wrong because of the unusual noise. Sabi niya nawawala naman after awhile na tumatakbo ang engine. Pero dinala pa rin niya sa Prince motors sa commonwealth. They diagnosed that the belt tensioner is defective but not that serious yet so she can still use the car. Dinala pa nga niya sa Tagaytay with that condition. The part was ordered by Prince motors. 2 weeks later they called my wife to get it replaced for free and under warranty. They don't have available belt tensioner at that time that's why it took 2 weeks to get the part. I just assumed the part came from Korea.

compara sa dati konti lang ang hyundai dealership at halos sa grey market nabibili ang starex pero ngayon parang kabote na nagsulputan ang dealership kahit saan ako magpunta meron na e hehe kaya mafeel secure ka na hindi ka iiwanan sa ere ng hyundai, hindi ko alam sa resale kung nag improve pero sa service ok naman tinatawagan pako
IMO test drive at pagisipan mabuti

Oo nga ako rin tinatawagan

On the subject of air filters...

Drop-in air-filters don't really do all that much for power... they might make the engine feel a little more responsive, but the benefits aren't really all that great. And with today's modern, computer-controlled, sophisticated turbo-diesels, just changing any part of your intake or exhaust will not always result in added power... sometimes, quite the opposite, as the computer sees the change in the amount of air going in or out of the engine and adjusts the engine's operating parameters so that it's making exactly as much horsepower as before... or less.

The sure way to improve your Santa Fe's performance is through a performance chip like the Unichip or one of the many diesel tuning chips on the market right now. I think Kevin Limjoco writes about his experience with one in this month's (June, 2008) C! Magazine.
