For anyone interested here’s my review of the Tucson. Model Feb 06 Diesel Manual "Arizona"

I bought her in August 06 with 22,000km on the clock and went past 46,000 yesterday, so 24,000 km driven by me in one year.

Overall I’ve been very happy with the car and found her tight enough for city manoeuvres and steady at motorway speeds up to 170 km/hr (in parts of...

On the Tucson, the time can be changed from the normal am/pm display to the 24 hour reading.
Example: 1.00pm can be changed to 1300.
To do this, you need to press the "R" button for 2.5 ~ 3 secundes (or untill the display changes).
So far, this feature is on the late 2004+ Elantra & Tucson only.

After a lot of deliberation, I bought an '05 blue Tucson GL yesterday. I was going to get a Honda Fit, but the $6,000 price difference between a new Fit and this used Tucson was enough to sway me.

Anyhow, I've got a couple questions to which I cannot seem to find answers on Google.

First off, I read in the manual that the parking lights should go off...

Today, after a decent rain storm, I noticed water drops on the inside read window of my 2005 Tucson - so I have a leak.

I am pretty sure that the window was closed and locked.

The leak point is top and dead center of the window.

Anyone else have this?

I shall be contacting the dealership tomorrow.

Steve

We live in Canada, and I was wondering if you guys would mind giving some details as to what you all paid for your vehicles..

The more info the better!

Hi,

My Tucson, started jerking on taking off, also until i reach a cruising speed the car doesn't have as much power as it used to have.

What could it be? You think it's serious?

Thank you for your help,
Jen.

HI THERE,

Anybody here knows of a good shop in miami where I can order rear spoilers for my TUC?
I'm from Brazil and this part is really expensive here.
thanks

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=1]I have a severe leakage issue with my Tucson's sunroof. I was hoping some of the contributors to this forum could check their vehicle's sun-roofs the next time they're going through a car-wash or parked near their garden hose at home. You really need to inspect the sun-roof for these leaks as it doesn't actually drip into the interior of the car, but rather...

Hi guys,

Sorry but I'm new in 4x4 Tech , what is the relation between ABS ( Anti lock breaking System),TCS (Traction Control System) ,ESC(Electronic stability Control),

If a car is having ABS & TCS does this conclude that ESC is available ?

I'm a new owner of a Tucson 2008 and i got a leak from the top breaking light, I went to the dealership after 3 day i got it for this problem and they said they fixed it after 3 weak and couple of days rain i got the same problem. Water still coming down in the back window where the breaking light is. Anyone got the same problem?

Hello,

We have an 08 Tucson and just noticed that the heated seats turn on intermittently. We tried turning on the seats then turning them off, and it really didn't do much.

One thing I did notice is that it's warm near the lower back and rear of the seat, and it's just a little warm -- not totally on.

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?

The last 3 times the dealer changed the engine oil, the dipstick always showed just a little less than half an inch OVER the full line. While some leeway is built in, it can damage the engine and the Hyundai Owners manual specifically states in bold letters DO NOT OVERFILL! The 1st time I drained the excess myself, 2nd time I returned to the dealer and they said it was the auto oil gun, and...

Moderator- let me know if this is better posted in another forum before I second post it, thanks.

I've asked here before and didn't get a fix so I'll try again. The problem is that any time the temperature is below 40F the idle on the 1st start of the day will go to 1600-1800 rpm area and take 5 minutes to get down to 1200 rpm where I'm comfortable putting it in drive. ...

Hi, I am a new member and have not found a similar subject in the search function for this forum. Recently, while on a weekend trip in my wife's 2005 Tucson V6, the engine consistently lost power (felt like it was running on 3 or 4 cylinders, but did not backfire) when the automatic downshifted when trying to maintain speed (about 70-75 mph) going up rather small hills. The same power loss...

Hi All!

I'm having some issues with my 06 Tucson. When it is raining pretty hard the brake light and battery light come on and I immediately lose power steering until I stop the vehicle and turn it off and back on.

I have had the vehicle to the Hyundai dealership twice now. The first time they stated the serpentine belt was bad and needed to be replaced. Replacing...

Hi everyone. My wife has an 05 Tucson with the 2.0, due for a timing belt. Anyway, I would like to know what tools I am going to need for the job, as I have to bring them home from work. What procedures need to be followed? Also, how long does a job like this take?

Does anyone tried to change the interior Tucson dash by a wood (see attached photo), how far we can go using wood trim in a Tucson

I was wondering if anyone here has had any issues with their A/C? I am asking because I noticed last week while driving the Tucson in hot weather, I had the A/C on and I noticed it would blow cold for a little bit then it would blow non cold air, then the compressor would kick in and the air would get cold again. Wanted to see if this is normal behavior on the 2007 Tucson 2.0 or is something about...

Hello everyone.

I have a 2005 Hyundai Tucson 2.7 V6 and as of late, I've been having a problem with it.
I'll try to explain it as best as possible.

Anyone who is curious, I talked to a technician at Valvoline, he told me that Mercon5 is perfectly compatible with all Diamond atf which is used in Hyundais and Mitsubishis including Diamond atf Special M-11, they have tested and used it extensively in their fleet vehicles requiring Diamond atf. Just thought someone would like to know.

Hi everybody,
I will be moving back to Italy after 6 years in the US and I'd really like to bring my 2007 Tucson V6 Limited 4WD with me. Does anybody know if Hyundai cars which are produced for the US market are compatible with european standards (safety, emissions, specs...)?
Thanks in advance,

Hello all

My air conditioning system on my 2005 Tucson starts to smell musty / mouldy after~ 30 seconds of putting it on. The smell then dissipates a bit. I've taken it to the dealer 2 times and its booked in for the 3rd time next week. So far the dealer has just put 2 of those deodorising 'bombs' in it and it seems to clear it for ~ 3 weeks and then it comes back. I think...

The purpose of this letter is to bring attention the severe hardships myself and my fiancé have been going through with the 2007 Tucson, not only mechanically but poor customer service as well including being sworn at, hung up on and questioned even for my capability of how I drive my vehicle.



Before purchasing the Tucson I was able to research, as well test drive the...

Does anybody has a proper list of which items should be replaced during the servicing of the Tucson ?
At what service intervals should spark plugs, filters, timing belts etc ?

Many thanks

I am looking to change the drive belt on my wifes 2005 lx. It has the V6. I checked on the Hyundai service site, but it only has the proceedure for the 4 cylinder model. I can see the tensioner I just need to know how to move it to release the tension so I can remove the belt. Thanks in advance. On a side note the dealer wants 149.00 to do it.

This is my first post to this forum. I am planning to buy a hitch for my 2006 Hyundai Tucson. I can find hitches online for about $130.

Hi all great forum, quick question form a newbie, having owned a santa fe for 3 years i recommended to hyundai to my uncle and he bought a brand new tucson 2.2 diesel special edition 2 months ago.

Since delivery he has had a slight hesitation when going though the gears accelerating, bit like blip on the throttle, its been in 3 times now and they still have not fixed it.

The fuses are okey, so why dont my power windows work.
None of the switches, either on "my" door, or the passengers door, works.

Is here a kind of relais, or something else, and where to find?

I need to buy new bulbs for my headlights, does anyone have any info about these



or




they say that these bulbs will replace the stock bulbs.
is this true?

does anyone have any info in this

Has anyone successfully removed the floor console? I'm having a bit of trouble removing the end cover (where the 12V outlet is) - any advice from anyone who's successfully taken it off? It seems that (according to WebTech) once that's removed, it's just a matter of screws and bolts, which are no problem.

Thanks in advance!

Hello every one.

I have bought a Tucson V6 Ltd and want to take some inputs from you people on remote starters. Has any one done that on there Tucson, and is willing to share his/her experience. Any suggestions on brand names, do’s/don’ts would be highly appreciated.
