Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[LadyRider]

Kamusta po ang new year mam LR?
Kaya pala hindi ko kita macontact eh, ang layo mo pala Naka bili ka na siguro ng bagong HU

Oo nga Sir medyo malayo ako ngayon sa Pinas. Sa January 11 pa ako makakauwi sa atin.

Napalitan ko na rin po HU ko. I changed it to Kenwood na po.

Sayang di na p tayo nagkita sa Pinas. Ingat po kayo and God bless!

hi sir sprinter, I think you misunderstood my statement. Hindi po nagwork yung immobilizer sakin. Wala rin ako na-upgrade sa alarm - stock lang. Nagstart pa rin yung car kahit naglock nako from inside.

My observation, alarm works... but no immobilizer.

Go inside the car and lock the car from remote.
- If manually exit from the car, alarm sounds.
- If start the car, it starts.

may immobilizer yan sir...
dapat kasi ibang keys ang gagamitin...
nag try ako magpa duplicate (for testing) pero wala pang available dito sa Pinas ng kasukat ng keys natin.

Great! In that case, no need to upgrade alarm for me.

[KaibiganMo]

hey!

just crossed the 1,000km mark of my santa fe.

may i know what kind of oil (brand, grade etc) did you use for the first 1,000km for maintenance?

thank you.

[tidus1203]

Hmm.... mukhang napabilis pag break-in ko ah. 1300 nako, kakalabas ko lang 2 weeks ago from casa. Time to visit Hyundai.

I usually avoid using the car kasi eh dahil wala pa kasi akong plaka hanggang ngayon eh (2009 lang ako nag pa register) pero they are already processing it as we speak. Nasa 668km pa lang ako!

Guys, have you tried sitting in the 3rd row? Sobrang ganda talaga ng ride, makaktulog ka talaga eh, laging tulog mga boys ko pag long drive eh. Hehehe.

I tried it during the test drive and yes the 3rd row is the best in its class in the market. Leather seats and the very smooth ride. Talong talo yung Fortuner and Everest in that regard. Kaso for my height masikip na yung knee room and the head room so yun yung complaint ko sa 3rd row. But that is ok I don't forsee myself seating there! I am 5'10 by the way...

hi sir, yung alarm upgrade kase is secondary to some. as for me, ang habol ko sa gt808 or autopage is the turbo-timer built-in to it and the shock sensor which is not available in the stock. it is recommended to install turbo-timer in the CDRi engines to allow the turbo to cool down for at least 1 minute before shutting off the engine especially after a long hard drive. with autopage/gt808, you can set the timer to 1 or 2 minutes, then turn-off the ignition, take the key, lock the car and leave while the engine is still running for the desired wait time. sabi naman ng iba, what they do to cool down the turbo is drive slow pag malapit na sa destination para mag-cool down ang turbo at hindi matagal wait time before shutting off the engine. thanks.

Pano warranty kung magpalagy ng turbo-timer? Ano definition ng long-drive, kung Makati-Ortigas long drive ba yun? Right now, I discipline myself to cool down engine for about 30 secs. Pero mukhang useful nga turbo timer.

Ano po yung shock sensor?

sabi naman sa casa, add-ons like turbo-timer does not void the whole engine warranty. specific lang daw iyon sa affected part, if ever. my personal definition of long-drive is perhaps an out-of-town trip where turbo is in full use particularly when running over a 100kph, overtaking here and there

shock sensor is when the car is subjected to a shock thru physical contact or thru vibration while armed that sounds off the alarm, which is not available in the stock alarm. thunder and big bikes passing thru may trigger the alarm depending on the sensitivity level

VGT (the turbo type installed) is at full blast around 1750rpm. What you can do while you still don't have a turbo timer is to avoid going beyond that when you're near your destination.

However, turbo timer is useful for those who are not familiar with turbocharged engines [esp when your car is borrowed by a sibling or parent(s)].

[yebo]

kaya ako ever since nakabili ng auto na may turbo (starex) e lagi ako may baon na immodium para no need for a turbo timer

slow down ka na lang pag malapit na sa destination, basta hindi pumalo yung turbo for the last 1-2 minutes of your drive e ok na yun.

Hello po.

I notice the leather seats get scratched pretty easily. Tapos red pa inner layer, so pansin agad yung gasgas.

How do you take care of the seats? According to manual, wash with soap and water. But is there anything that can make the leather more resilient to scratches? Mahirap iwasan ang gasgas pag may kids...

Pwede rin kayang iretouch with Kiwi black?

Nakow hindi ko pa napapansin yan ah? Ma check nga bukas

[tidus1203]

Well I know many people will go against it pero I did it na rin. I actually used the free seat cover the dealer gave me. Yeah I know, I know we shouldn't use seat covers on leather but hey at least I know its protected from scratches. The downside is you can't feel the leathery touch as much as if its not covered...

thanks sir HP sa karagdagang kaalaman in the proper handling/maintenance of our rides hehehe

[tidus1203]

By the way how would you know if the turbo is kicking in? Do we just look at the revs or are there other more signs that we can look out for if the turbo is kicking in or not?

Just had 1Km checkup - Hyundai Manila Bay. Total cost - P2,780.00. Semi-synthetic. Tama ba yun? Change oil lang daw kelangan gawin.

Natanong ko rin immobilizer, iba-iba sagot ng service. Sabi nung technician meron, sabi nung SA wala. Ano ba talga kuya?!? Anyway, isipin ko na lang na wala para added bonus kung meron.

almost 2 yrs old na SF ko pero leather seat ko naman ay OK pa till now. Minsan kasi may mga sharp objects yung mga pants natin which can scratch the leather. Hindi rin talaga maiwasan! Kaya sabihan nyo na lang si Inday na alisin yung naka-suksok na malaking suklay sa back pocket ng pants nya
Meron pong nabibiling leather conditioner ang Armourall.

Sir Oilman, yun ba gamit mo? Naghahanap kasi ako ng Mothers brand leather protection/conditioner eh.
Ok din ba ang Armourall?

Sir Trackers, ang ArmourAll kase nagpapalutong ng leather at may tendency mag crack in the lone run. Try mo din yung D'Best na brand. Mura na at all around use pa!

Sa Manila, mabibili po ito sa True Value. Alam ko si Sir Benjie meron din tinda nito!
