Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[kent1023]

hello. newbie here, and i need some suggestions. i'm about to trade in my Innova, and I've just about decided to get a Hyundai, specifically a Sta Fe or a Tucson. i need your inputs as to which model to choose.

1st off, there's a toss-up between a 7-seater vs a 5-seater. i'm more inclined towards the 5-seater, but wifey wants the extra seats when we have company (grandkids).

2nd, i'm currently based in pampanga, and i'll be using it mainly to travel to work. on average i'd probably travel 20kms daily. occasional trips to manila on weekends. would i be better off getting the gas or diesel variant? and should i get the 2WD or 4WD?

3rd, any feedback as to the service provided by Hyundai Pampanga? it's the closest and most convenient for me to go to, or should i touch base with other dealers in mmla?

all suggestions and inputs are most welcome. hopefully i'll be able to get my dream SUV before my b'day!

na drive ko ang tucson gls ng brother ko, masasabi ko lang na mas happy ako sa santa fe ko

underpowered ang gas variant ng santa fe at tucson, go for the diesel variant. naka 4x4 santa fe ako pero never ko pang nagamit ang feature na to (4wd lock)

kung 20km lang tinatakbo nyo everyday overpowered ang Santa FE CRDi. saka ang dami ko na naririnig na hindi okey sa Hyundai Pampanga

mag Sonata na lang kayo para elegante tignan bagay na bagay sa age nyo.

His wifey said she want 7 seater. Kung Sonata 5 seater lang at subrang elegante ito para sa pang araw araw na errand.

SF 4x2 ReVGT ang kunin nyo, wala na kayong hahanapin pa IMHO

Intindihin niyo si OB.

Minsan nakakalimutan niya inumin yung mga gamot niya.

had my 1K PMS sa Dasma last saturday. OWS semi synthethic ginamit (9 liters). overall cost -= 4.6K.

actually dapat talaga sa Alabang sked ko for the PMS kaso i need to get something from EJ so sinabay ko na but unfortunately di kami nagkita ni EJ so end of the day e tinuloy ko na PMS and yung kunin ko sa kanya e pag release na lang ng plate ko.

pero next pms (5K) ko sa alabang na.

What!!!

9 literS!

Saang CASA ba yan Sir?
Anu yan tantyahan nalang at hindi na susundin ang manual?!!!
Dito sa amin ako nagdadala ng oil (SS) 6 liters ang dala ko at hinihingi ko ang remaining na kalahate pag labas ng CASA. Hindi ako nagpapasubra at sinusunod ko as per manual kahit sinasabi pa ng Tech na kulang pa daw as per dip stick. Natural na hindi agad makukuha ang sukat, it takes time bago bumaba ang oil sa pan kasi

[Starex_Gold]

5.5 Liters lang ang oil ng Gen 2.0 na Santa Fe?

Ang layo sa R series. Buti pa kayo mura lang maintenance.

Kaming naka R series 8 Liters oil ang required

meron 7 seater sonata????? ang overpowered pala eh nasa distance travelled at hindi sa makina???


anyway, sabi nga ng barkada. kung kaya ng home made jeeps ang kalsada, kaya yan ng mga well designed at well built 4x2 SUV.

i would go for SF crdi 4x2. para pang all around. always ready na din for family outing with the grandkids. SUV can and is being driven by all ages. wala sa age ang pag gamit ng SUV. basta wag lang minor at wala pa driver's license.

Yes Sir! 5.5L lang

Sa eVGT dapat FS oil pa ang gagamitin

[Starex_Gold]

Ok ako dun sa FS oil

Naka hanap ako ng dahilan para mag Motul eh hahaha

[kent1023]

so tama talaga ang nasa manual natin na 7.8 liters ang oil capacity. nilagay nila sa akin 8 liters, sobra ng 200ml...ibig sabihin nito hataw mode uli para bumaba ng konti ang oil level ko

[Starex_Gold]

*Kent1023: Diba sobra ng 200mL yung sa'yo.

Ok lang yan bro. Pag chineck mo yung dip stick mo sa umaga, baka wala pa sa "F" mark

Yung sa akin ganun parin. haha

[kent1023]

medyo incline kasi garage ko sa house kaya mahirap kunin ang level sa dip stick. wala namang nagbago sa takbo niya, mas tumahimik pa nga don sa motul

I think 200ml is tolerable wag lang 9 liters

"Lahat ng bagay na sobra or kulang masama"


OT Kent advance happy birthday!

[Starex_Gold]

^

What more kung 10 Liters in a smaller displacement. ;)

3,500 na yung odo ng Tucson ni Bryan. Thank GOD hindi pa nasisira. hahaha

[dbhollanda]

tracker-> sa hyundai dasma sya. yun ang sabi sa kin ng service advisor pero gagawin ko e idadaan ko siguro sa hyundai sucat para pabawasan ng langis. never na ko babalik don in the first place naman e dapat sa alabang talaga ko mag pa 1K PMS di lang natuloy kasi magkita kami ni EJ kasi may kukunin ako sa kanya.

[trackers888]

Wala pang epekto yan sa ngayon pero ang span ng engine life ninyo become less.

Napakamahal ng repair ng CRDi engine believe me, not unless after 3 years trade-in ulit ng bago

[kent1023]

*trackers- thank you sir, kahit sobrang advance hindi ako maka log in sa santafeclubph, laging error sa password

ang mahirap niyan yung mga hindi member ng tsikot na umaasa lang sa mga sinasabi ng casa. hindi biro ang gastos pag nasira ang evgt engine, yung ordinary na diesel ang mahal na kaya

Hi to Sta. Fe owners, I want to share lang po my recent experience with my sta. fe. I had a 4x2 Sta. Fe 2007 model I love the ride very much ang had no complaints about my unit until last Sunday when my family went to Church of Manaog. Were on our way home I'm driving at 120km/hr we were about to overtake a bus when my car suddenly lost its power. Then the check engine lights appears. We stop and check the engine's oil. We drive at the nearest gasoline station. All they can do is to clean the fuel filter & air cleaner. The max speed of our car is less than 40km/hr at 4,000rpm..The transmission stuck at low gear, even the triptonic stay at 3..luckily we manage to go home at less than 40km/hr speed that is 11hours ride from manaog to manila via Mc Arthur highway. Last Monday I brought my car to Hyundai Marcos Highway until now they cannot fix my car and they said that there is something wrong with the transmission. The manager call some help to HARI already because they cannot fixed my unit. I felt to bad to think that my car is only 3years and 3mos and they said that it is no longer under warranty..Is there anyone experience the same problem? Need some help please...

[Starex_Gold]

2007 mo nabili..

hmmm..

Hindi ka ba sir umabot dun sa 5 years warranty ng Hyundai?
