Rear Differential Shudder - Rectification

It has come to the attention of very many Terracan owners that a shudder from the rear differential occurs at low speeds with the steering wheel slightly off centre.

This problem has been caused by the ongoing abnormal wear in the LSD (Limited Slip Differential) unit due to incorrect lubrication of the LSD componentry.

In order to rectify this situation I suggest strongly that you do the following:

Return your vehicle to your preffered or local dealer. Aware them of your on-going problem with the rear differential.
If they say that they cannot rectify, or they find nothing wrong with the rear differential, then provide them with this information.

The rear differential fluid is to be that only of LS-90 grade, if they have acces to Genuine LS-90 fluid then insist on it's use. However any LS-90 fluid will be sufficient as the grade is not exclusive to Hyundai.

The additive that must be used in conjunction with the LS-90 however, is exclusive to Hyundai and the part no. is:

53410 - 4AQ70

The additive may take a while to get to your dealership if they are unaware of it's existence, but be assured it does exist.

The reasoning behind taking your vehicle back to your local or preffered dealer is it is now up to you to demand the installation of a new differential along with the new oil and additive.

Once this has been carried out, the vehicle must be driven in a "figure of eight" manner until the noise has demished completely.
This action works the additive into the LSD to ensure that the LSD is efficiently lubricated and treated.

Good luck "King of the Land" owners!!!

My name is Jeff, I am Canadian from the west coast of, and am living in Costa Rica. I have owned a 2004 Hyundai Terracan for one year now and enjoy tinkering on it. I am curious if anyone here might know what the stock turbo manifold pressure should be? And if adjusting the pump will bring the turbo pressure up at all and in turn, will that increase fuel mileage? Thanks, Jeff.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a 2006 Highlander Auto, I tow a Jayco Destiny 16.9 foot, 1680 kgs. It tows very well at 100 kph cruise control on, overdrive off at 2900 rpm.

I have just completed almost 2000 kms, averaged around 15 litres per 100kms which I felt was quite good, almost the same consumption as my 2006 3.3 Sonata traveling in 4th at 100 kph (2800 rpm), two great vehicles.

With the Terracan, this is almost out of the maximum torque (1750 - 3000 rpm), in overdrive at 100 kph it revs at 2100, but the torque convertor tends to engage/disengage constantly which I realize will cause excessive transmission overheating.

My question is:
If I fit 265 tyres instead of 255, besides a great price advantage I am hoping this will lower the rpm at my 100 kph choice, bringing the rpm further into the torque range.

Has anyone tried this, and was it satisfactory?

My 2004 Terracan has a fan mounted under the intercooler, but the plug for the electrical connection is not connected to anything. The plug is hanging at the left-rear corner of the engine, when viewed from the driver's seat. The electrical connector has two male connectors in it and if you jump them together, the fan runs. So, I assume that there must be a switch somewhere that is supposed to be connected to this connector, perhaps a thermostat switch. My car has quite a few dead-end connectors throughout, perhaps because it is a basic model without a lot of options. Does anyone know if it is normal for the intercooler fan to not be connected to a switch or thermostat? Thanks, Jeff M.

Would anyone happen to know if there is a filter for the air entering the cabin? And if so, do you know where to find it? Thanks, Jeff, Costa Rica.

Hi all, my first post

I have this problem since I purchased the vehicle second hand from October last year (2008). It is a 2005 Hyundai Terracan diesel with an automatic transmission. It has now done almost 65000km on the clock.

If I put my foot down on the accelerator and let it rev past 2100 rpm and immediately lift my foot off the accelerator and let the engine come back down to idle, the tacho will show the rev drop below idle (at around 800rpm or so) and causes the engine to cut out.

I have been to the dealer service center for about 3-4 times now and still have not got this problem resolved. I am close to desperation on this problem and am in need of further enlightenment.

To date from what they told me, they have fixed the following things to no avail:-
1) Fuel line pipes - replaced
2) Brake switch - replaced
3) Engine tune up - the service manager actually showed me a bunch of 8 digit hex codes and I presume these are for all four cylinders since there were four lines of this but all have different hex codes on it.

I am hoping that someone has experience with this problem before and could shed some light as to how to resolve it.

This problem is not only annoying, it is also dangerous. I rather not have my missus having to sue Hyundai if something happens to me because of this problem.

Hello

I want to know whether anyone has tried those mudtires 33x12,5x15 to Hyundai Terracan?

HI there, soon my husband and I gonna move to Tulsa, OK. I am driving a Hyundai Terracan and would not like to abondon it. Is anybody out there who can help me out to know if I can take my car into the states? It is a Terracan CRDi and build for the european market (spain). I heard that it is easier to get the car importet if this model is already on the american market. So, how strong it the Terracan market in the USA? would love to hear that there would be no problems to take my car with me.
thanx a bunch

Hi all, I am experiencing an intermitant problem on my 2005 crd manual. It will start and instead of idling at approx 800 rpm it only gets to about 500rpm. If you swich off and restart it then will perform normally. Its been back to the dealer for a diagnostic check but it showed no fault codes. Its been ok since the trip to the dealer about two weeks ago, but has now flared up again. Its due back in the dealer on monday, but has anyone else experienced this, and if so what was the fix? The dealer will probably say no fault codes again and do nothing, so anyone got any pointers? cheers When driving the car performs normally. When it is idling at the lower level, the throttle shows no response.

Hi All,

I have a 2005 Terracan, and have lately experienced a problem with either the automatic transmission or the 4wd transfer gearbox.
My model is a 2.9CRDI with an automatic 4wd system. (no 2wd drive option).

The car is making a loud squeaking/crunching sound when the engine is breaking the car. The fault occurred firstly when driving the car down a steep hill at 60mph. I immediately turned the car into neutral, and the sound disappeared.

I went to a mechanic today, and he claimed that this was not the automatic transmission, but rather the 4wd transfer gearbox. He also claimed that this was a normal fault on the Terracan. (Can anyone confirm..??), It would be nice if anyone could confirm this, before I start spending XXXX$, replacing the wrong parts.

The sound is present only when going downhill without any throttle. Apart from this the car behaves normally.

All help will be appreciated, Thanx guys.

I have a factory fitted alarm in my CRDv which has no sensors of any kind indicating that a person is bumping or entering the car by any other way other than by opening the door. Some robbers got into my car by overiding the door switch by opening the doorhandle and were in the process of taking out the key switch when a friend of mine saw them and scared them away.
I purchased a new 3rd party brand alarm and was going to install it but have found I cannot disable the existing, Hyundai one. The existing one waits 30 seconds then automatically arms after which the central door lock switch on the drivers side no longer funtions (so the new alarm also cannot open it). If I then open with a key, the hyundai alarm sounds and imobilizes the car.

Is there a way to disable the Hyundai factory fitted alarm system?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi All - I am new to the site and I am wondering if anybody can assist me?

Hyundai Terracan 2.9 CRTD (2004) - Auto (Mileage 45K)

I have a couple of problems with my Hyundia Terracan

I don’t think either problems are related though as the second has been a problem for the past year but it never happened enough to warrant mentioning it at service

First problem

I can put my foot down sometimes and the rev’s will build as normal, then for no apparent reason they will suddenly just die, and it feels like the vehicle is kind of misfiring or the same sort of effect you get when you have water in the HT Cap of a 50cc 2 stoke motor bike, but it does not stall.

If I then back off the accelerator and re-apply the power, all is fine and it will quite happily carry on as normal. It can be very dangerous when over taking, if it happens at the wrong time…

Second problem

Also when I put my foot down sometimes the engine takes on a different sound, a deeper louder roar under load, but if I take my foot off the accelerator and re apply again the engine sound returns to normal… Any idea’s anyone?

I appreciate any feedback that may assist in sorting out both problems

I wonder if anybody has any suggestions about this. My 2003 Terracan Diesel Auto has the automatic climate control fitted. I set the temp to 21C in either auto or manual mode and it warms up as it should. It then cuts the heat but continues to blow cool air. The problem is that it never turns the heat back on unless I keep increasing the temp all the way up to the max of 32C. I have checked this with a thermometer and the cut of temp is spot on.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello fellow Terracan fans: Yesterday while decending a steep hill here in Costa Rica, in first gear, the car suddenly lurched and felt as though the transmission had slipped out of and then back into gear. I don't think it did actually slip out of and back into gear, I think that the engine actually experienced some sort of sneezing action. It happened several times but I'm at a complete loss as to what took place. Have any of you experienced this? Thanks, Jeff.

I accidently drained the front diff oil on a 4WD Terracan. Can i still drive it in 2WD to the garage to get some oil without killing the diff?

Hi

I drive a 2002 Terracan witha 2.5l diesel engine (56 000 km). I have trouble starting the engine and replaced the glow plugs and checked the glow relay. No check engine light is on. The car runs well otherwise. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi, Global T-fans,

It's a pity that Hyndai stoped making Terracan in Korea Factory. I think this the most stupid thing the Hyndai top administrators did.

But luckly, the original Terracan production line is in China now, and still in making Chinese version Terracan.

I'll bring more info about this final Terracan in China.

Here is my brand new sliver Terracan made in China at 2009/Feb/25, I just brought it at March/25/2009.

Hope you all like it.

Thanx for watching!

Hi All!

I am the very proud owner of a 2003 Terracan 2.9D auto with 40k on the clock.
Can't believe how good it is towing my boat and coping with all sorts of slipways/beach launches - and all for a TENTH of what my friend paid for his Range Rover Sport...

Only problem is that the tailgate lock jammed yesterday and no matter what I do, it won't unlock. Have tried spraying WD40 silicon lubricant into the lock and inside the presshandle itself but no joy. The rest of the central locks work fine, with the sound of the tailgate lock also working too.

Am wondering if the use of the tailgate washer has run grit and dirt down into the handle recess and jammed it?

Any ideas? Am a little desperate as am due to head off in two weeks for a boating expedition for my 40th and it's going to be "interesting" with no opening tailgate...eek!

Many thanks for any suggestions!

I have a 2006 56 plate terracan with 15,000 miles on the clock it has been fine so far apart from when i put it into 4WD

I put it into 4WD when stationary but it doess not engauge so you have to drive forward to engauge it but it engauges with a clunk and then it's fine is this normal?

Thanx

Hi crdi owners. My diesel auto was returning between 7 & 8 litres per 100Kms for the first 5000 kms on country running. After 10000 the fuel consumption deteriorated at 30000 I am struggling to get 10 litres per 100Km on the same trips. I had the 30000 service completed today & the dealer said the fuel consumption was within the
allowable figures. My speedo also appears to show 107Kmph when I am only doing 100kmph making the fuel consumption 7% worse than calculated. Is this a common
feature? are we all being conned by inaccurate speedos. I know of many people who
say they are getting X litres per 100Kms but they would not know how to accuratly check their consumption. If you fill to the top & set your trip & fill to the top again to check your consumption & can use a calculator I would really like to hear from you.If you quote mpg or x litres to the tankfull it won't be any use to me. If my consumption is way above the average any suggestions where to start to look? Hyundai are not going to help.

Hi,

Just wondered if this is me being a bit tight or if anyone else has noticed a sharp increase in Hyundai service pricing.

My Terracan is due for it's 5 year 50k service. This is identical to the 30k 3 year service, which in November 2005 I payed £171.11 for. The same main dealer has quoted me £274.07 for the 50k service.

I know the price of oil has risen but this seems a very steep increase in price.

A Hyundai dealer further away has quoted 'about £220' which I will probably go for, and another main dealer quoted £300.32, for a simple oil change! This is the last service before the warranty expires, so dont want to go to an indie until it is out of warranty but will probably do so next year.

Does anyone know a good indie in the South Coast/Thames Valley area?

hi, ive recently purchased an 04 terracan. The parcel shelf is missing, could do with some help locating where to buy one from. Thanks

Hi Everybody in Hyundai World,

I Bought a new Terracan in November 2004 and it has done about 20,000 miles. It is the 2.9 DTI engine and ever since new the gear change when cold is difficult particularly from 1st to 2nd but when it warms up it is OK. Has anybody experienced this problem and managed to find a solution. It has been suggested the type of gear oil used by Hyundai is too thick for our climate in the UK.

Also anybody ever fitted a front push type towbar to the Terracan? If so have you experienced any problems with the fit?

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi there

I own a 2002 Terracan with a 2.5l turbo engine. Does anybody know the Bosch part number for the glow plugs?

I want to make sure I install the correct plugs

Thank you

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone else out there has a terracan with altitude meter? - I am in China and have one, but my drivers manual is in Chinese which I cannot read - has anyone got a manual they can send me,or tell me how to adjust?
Thanks

I have a 2005 Terracan (auto) CRDI diesel, and am looking at purchasing a caravan suitable for the Terracan to tow. I reside in Western Australia.

I am looking at a caravan, tandem axles, 19.6 in total length with a tare weight of 1640 kg, would anyone out there towed something similar that could advise me on the Terracan performance, and any good/bad comments.

Also, I contacted Hyundai in relation to the Trek'n Tow system, but they no longer make them, and if one could be located it would be $2350.00, plus fitting. The Trek'n Tow would have allowed the mass tow bar load to be increased from 200kg to 250kg. Can anyone offer an alternative solution.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I pulled off a country road today onto a muddy passing place to give way to a car coming towards me. both driver side wheels were in mud, both passenger side wheels on tarmac. When i tried to pull off the rear wheel on mud spun but i could not pull away (on a slight upslope). I didnt put the can in 4wd as i thought the one rear wheel on tarmac would have given me enough traction (through the LSD) to pull away, but no. I reversed out in the end but shouldnt the LSD have got me out? , or am i misunderstanding the way an LSD works?

Hi all, I have just put a tankful of BP Ultimate Diesel through the tcan. I normally get between 29 and 30 mpg, and this doesnt alter no matter how i drive. This stuff has only given me 26! To top it all the car stalled today and would not restart for the wife! She managed to start it on her own, but the car would hover around 500rpm on idle for a few seconds and then revert to normal. she also said that the check engine light was illuminating. I have just refilled with normal diesel and everything now seems fine. Any thoughts on whether this "ultimate" diesel caused this? I have not had a minutes trouble with the old girl (the car not the wife!) until i put this in the tank. (It also cost me £9 extra to fill up with Ultimate)

Hi All - ive just sent back my twelve month old Range Rover Sport and bought a Terracan Limited and all I can say is that the motoring press massively understated this car.

The Rangie went back to LR as it towed like a pig and bounced so much we all felt like Churchill the dog ! LR spent 12 months trying to find the problem (the LR engineer described it as 'like driving a capri when the shocks have gone !!!). In the end they confirmed it was a problem but didnt know how to fix it so for 45+k you still dont get customer service.

Whilst the Terra lacks the handling and the refinements (or if your a snob the status) of the Rangie but it tows better, has more toys than all but the top of the range LR and best of all it costs a third of the price with a 5 year warranty !

What made me pick the Terracan - when the Rangie couldnt cope a few weeks back and we and a 2.5t caravan were towed off a field by a Terra on road tyres !

I reckon that £600 to cover a set of Koni's and a tuning chip and I will have the near perfect tow car.

Thanks to everyone for a great and very informative forum.

hi
i want to get ,ore psi in my terracan year 2003

i want to get 15-18 psi do i can?
what is the normal psi in our car



thank you

hey guys, i'm wondering if there is any Australian owners here with 4x4 SUV's?

Hi all, I have a 2005 manual crdi and i was descending a very steep slope in 1st gear low range yesterday, not touching any pedals (as you do!) and it felt to me that the ABS was kicking in occasionally(!). I have read on an australian forum that the auto might have some system of hill descent control on it, but they say nowt about the manual. Has anyone out there experienced this in 1st low?, or am i going mad in my old age? needless to say the terra got me down beautifully as always!

Hi, I have a problem with the front washers on my '04 Terracan. I believe the filter at the pump, or at the exit to the washer bottle is blocked as if I remove the tube to the bonnet nozzles and blow back air comes up through the washer bottle OK and the washers will work at full power for a few seconds, but then reduce to a trickle.

The rear washers are fine which is a little confusing as they use the same reservoir and I assumed the same pump?

I noticed a previous post with the same problem, but any knowledge on where the filter is and how to access would be great. It looks to me like the bottle is held between the wing and the wheel arch, so I'm hoping not a major fault to fix and I guess one that warranty would not cover!

Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me with this problem.

Please help me get a download for 2002 Hyundai Terracan

Hello everyone, I was reading the forums in regard to the 60000 checkup and having to get the timing belt changed in order to hold on to the 100,000 warranty. I just got a 2009 sonata I4 and was looking through the owners handbook and it states that the 100,000 10 year warranty covers the timing chain. Does that mean that the 09s have a timing chain instead of a belt? ( just curious, new to the forum)

I have a 2003 terracan 2.9 crdt. My question is does it have a timing belt or chain and what are the replacement times ?

Hi, Please can somebody offer me any advise as the 2004 Terracan 2.9 CRTD AUTO that I bought in September 07 with 20k on the clock has no real power when towing my 1500kg caravan I was told it could tow 2.8 tonnes and all reviews I read said it could sit a motorway speeds with the largest caravan or trailer on all day long. I can just about get it up to 60mph but it is a real struggle to get there and if I try and overtake a large lorry its a nightmare sometimes I can get past very slowly but other times if I get caught in the wind coming off the lorry there's no chance. Last week going down the motorway with no incline at all it kept changing down a gear all the time and then revs up and then changes back but by this time its down to about 50 mph. The problem is so bad that on holiday last week I used 75 litres of fuel in just 220 miles and about 65 litres on the way back when I just sat behind the lorries.
Hyundai have told me that as the engine management light or gearbox lights are not coming on its not worth taking it into them as they wont find anything. The only suggestion they have is that the throttle cable might have stretched and this why I don't have full power when I need it towing and its fine when im not towing. I dont want to pay £350 to have it remapped if it is a problem with the car as I could be throwing good money after bad, I had a Terracan pass me on the motorway towing similar caravan and he flew past me like I was doing about 30 mph so Im sure the problem is with my car and not Terracans in general. Any advise or suggestions would be greatfully received. many thanks Lee

I have now 140 000 Kms with my Terry, and I ask my self who as the biggest number on its counter ?

Hi all,

How can I remove the interiour light as I need to fit a roof mounted antenna.

Hi there, I live in Canada but spend the winters in the Dom Rep. I just bought a Terracan, 4wd with a 2.5l diesel and auto transmission. The car has 53.000 km on the clock and had a rough life (roads over there are terrible). It it pretty suggish but seems to run fine. Is there anything what should be done at this time. I heard about an additive for he diffs. It has trouble starting first thing in the morning but starts always at the second try. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much
Ciao

Hi all
I have a 2007 terracan special edition.
last night I tried to open the car with the button on the key and nothing happened. No locks or flashing lights.
Tried the second key to see if the key battery was low but still now effect.
Opened the car with the key in the door and the alarm went off and the engine was imobilised. Shut the car and relocked it and the alarm system reset it's self.
Went to the car this morning and the car opened and closed on both keys and started as normal.
My question is, has anyone else had the same problem and if so was it fixed by the dealer. Being an intermitant fault its a bugger to find, are these alarm systems affected by direct sunlught and temperature like the old Rover cars were. Lastly does anybdy know if there is a way of overriding the alarm and imobiliser if this happens again in the middle of nowhere
Thanks for you time in reading this any help or sugestions would be gratefully received.

Hi

My 2004 2.9 diesel terracan occassionally hestitates (feels like the engine is cutting out although no dash lights come on) when changing gear from 1st to 2nd and also occassionally does the same when cruising in 5th gear.

I used to think it only did it with the A/C on but this isn't the case.

Anyone else had this problem? If so what is the solution?

Many thanks

Hi
Do any of you clever folks out there have any knowledge of reprogramming the 2 button remote key for a Terracan. The key starts the car ok but the remote part does not work although the spare key works fine. Changed the key battery with no luck so I am presuming it needs reprogrammed Been on the net and found information about other Hyundai models which refers to a 'set' remote switch on an ETACS module but does this apply to the Terracan. This is a UK vehicle so hopefully somebody has had a similar problem.
