I would like to know in Canada what brands are there that makes charcoal filters for the cabin on a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe..and how much are they?

I Have a ticking noise coming from the front when I first start up the vehicle and only lasts for 5-10 secs maybe 15 secs tops.. I assume I think its from the engine..any ideas?

[FONT=Geneva][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue]After 3 years of trying to track down this smell, (mostly present in the summer months) I finally tracked down the culprit. IT IS NOT THE AC OR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AC/HEAT VENTS. THE SMELL seems to come from the vents but IT IS NOT THE VENTS -- THE PROBLEM IS 1 or 2 DEFECTIVE FREEZE PLUGS IN THE REAR OF THE AUTO. Look underneath the trunk (IF SANTA FE...

I am experiencing rattling on cold start up and then the noise goes, which makes me wonder is it big ends or is it tapits?

Alright, im submitting this from my phone so we'll see how well this works out...but anyway. So its time for me to get new oil for my santa fe and im in a toss up between what would be better for the truck, the 5w-30 or the 10w-30. And im probably going to go with the Royal Purple Synthetic, so if you guys could help me out....

Hi,

i have 2001 2.4 santa fe, was driving yesterday in heavy rain for about 3 hours, and my santa fe started showing an engine fault light. the car starts but idles poor and doesnt seem to have much power. I have checked the egr etc and they seem to be ok. cant get the fault code yet, as its sunday and no garage is open.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Alright, my lethargic little santa fe (in my humblest opinion) needs some open heart surgery, i.e. a new air intake. Not because it actually needs one, but because better gas mileage, acceleration, and a little extra power would be nice. So far it seems like it will be an easy setup. Remove the factory intake box and the like, and replace it with a 90 degree angle pipe, top for the intake, and...

I purchased a new keyless remote fob for my 2002 santa fe and followed programming instructions and eventually was able to program the new remote. But, I did not realize I had to program my existing remote at the same time. Since, I have retried programming both remotes many times with no success--the new one works, but the old one won't. The instructions were: 1) Locate switch under dash,...

There seems to be a single clunk noise when pulling the e-brake this happens one every time you pull on the handle.. so for example if I where to pull it 6 times once every time it would make a clunking noise.. I can hear in the cab and seems to be coming from the rear drivers side.. and ideas?

A few ignition questions for those in the know please.....

1. I'm planning on replacing the spark plugs soon. I notice in the Owner's Manual it recommends the NKG or Champion Platinum ones...neither of which I can readily find. I have found the Bosch Platinum +4 ones that are apparently the right ones, but these have 4 "points of ignition" leading up to the end of...

hey all, trying to work on a friends car...her rear hatch is sticking a bit, the lock mechanism it seems actually...

curious if this is a common thing that you guys are aware of or if I need to just go at it and see what I can come up with...

ideas? Thanks in advance!

I am getting this error code and my air filter is soaked! Any ideas? I have a 2004 3.5 with about 76,000 miles. I have not driven thru any water lately.

Hi there,

does anyone have a set of running boards or Nerf bars for a 2002 Sanat Fe that they are willing to sell?

cheers

Hi,

I have 2005 Santa Fe. For third time now my air filter is soaked. The first time I recall going through puddle and then learned from dealer air intake in driver's side wheel well.

So we've been careful around puddles now which is sort of ridiculous living in Pacific NW but...

The car stalled again on me the other day, I popped open the air filter box,...

I have a 2001 Hyundai santa fe as of yesterday my check engine light came on. I can fill a hesitation at take off and around 40 mph. I checked it with a hand held scanner and got a error code 1167 and 0304. Could anyone please let me know what these codes mean.

Hi - changed my timing belt and spark plugs with wires recently. I found my car's overall noise levels (engine) reduced however the RPM jumps high (beyond 3000) whenever I am attempting to accelerate, even from full stop. Just wondering if this is normal? Someone told me to do a complete reset of the system , i.e. remove battery terminals, wait for 5 min and connect them back again. Basically,...

We own a 2001 2wd Santa Fe. Recently replaced the harmonic balancer, due to an interstate emergency!! default/w00t.gif' 'w00t.gif' /> Thats another topic all together!
Anyway, yesterday, we were at road speed of 65mph, using cruise control, when all of a sudden, it downshifted...

I own a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD with a 2.7L V6. The car has approximately 91,300 miles. (The warranty is no longer valid since I am not the original owner.) I just had the timing belt and timing belt tensioner replaced. When I picked the car up, there was a new metallic-sounding clocking noise present that was not there before. It is proportional to engine speed (i.e. - it is more rapid at...

I see that those with the new Santa Fe have started a thread on mileage and to see how theirs are holding up. I figure we 'originals' default/whistling.gif' 'whistling.gif' /> should have the same thing.

Give us your date of purchase, whether you bought it new or used,...

I went to the dealership because my airbag light was coming on and they told me that my front passengers side seat belt buckle needs to be replaced as the seat belt is not properly latching and there is an issue with the wiring. So they said I need to replace the buckle - and it will cost something to the tune of $250 just for the part. Does anyone know where I can order this part online...

Does anyone know how to turn the check engine light off with out going to the dealer? i had a loose gas cap and they are telling me it will take 100 starts for it to turn off.

I had CEL on and Autozone said it's something with the accident sensor. Unfortunately, after taking it to Hyundai they said it's nothing and reset the CEL, I forgot the number. The CEL has again re-appeared and I am sure it's the same cause. Digging forums, I realize there are TWO accident sensors connected to the air-intake (FRONT) of the engine. Question: (a) Is this a normal...

Hi,
I have a problem with a bad smell (like a sick smell) when I first switch the Air Conditioning on. This lasts for about 5 minutes. I have a late 2002 UK 2.0 litre Turbo Diesel model (right hand drive). Is there a filter that needs replacing? If so where is the filter and how easy is it to access/change on my car ? Would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks, Dave.

This is my first post here, so here we go.
I have a three pin maf sensor connector on my 2003 santa fe. How can I find out which wire is which. Does anyone have a wire diagram they could send my way or is there a way to find it by using a volt-meter?
Thanks in advance.

My blower quit at 68k miles (just 8k over the warranty) and I must wring out the problem and get my blower back. Checked the blower motor with a 9v battery, it works. Checked the resistor and it is in the parameters of "Hmaservice.com", relay and fuses are good because one is shared with the moon roof and the other one is visible. Sooooo it must be the switch, right? Switch is...

Just had my wife's sante fe out of town in indiana and it broke down. the mechanic shop that they towed it to said the timing belt had broken and they later found that the cam-positioning sensor went bad also. well we had that fixed. about 2 days later after only driving the car for about 2hrs. straight it lost just about all power. it would idle fine but not go easily at all. we had it towed...

Does anyone know a quick and easy way to disable that door bell sound when you open the door or unbuckle your seat belt with the engine running? I know it's there for our safety but I've got my reasons so no speech please.

Basically I'm importing my 2001 Santa Fe GLS from the UK to Australia and it will need to comply with their odometer requirements.

I need to know if there is a way to change the Odometer display from miles to km's without having to change the complete assembly unit? Also need to know if you can get replacement dial covers in km's too!

thanks

Marty ...

Morning,

does anyone know where i can get schematics of the 2.0TD engine used in the 2001 Santa FE?

as the HMAService website does not list this engine with the santa fe

any help would be appreciated.

Ian

Thank you to all the experts that share their wisdom here. It's been some good reading so far.

So I have a simple question.

I have a 2004 Santa Fe - 4 cylinder manual transmission.

To keep up to date with the maintenance schedule I will need to replace the spark plugs and engine coolant soon.

I'd like to do as much of this on my own, as I really...

Hey guys, I'm looking to change the bulbs in the overhead lights in my santa fe, the two by the clock and glasses holder, the main overhead lights, and then the small light over the trunk area. I'm mainly interested in doing this because I want to change the bulb color to give a little bit of a unique twist to the cabin. I can't seem to figure out how to access the lights though, am I...

Hey Folks it's me again. My car has always had some trouble with the AC. Once I changed the condenser and it was working fine until one time while driving it discharged all the "gas" of the airconditioning. Last week I filled it up again and today it discharged again. What could be the problem ?

Let me know 'cause it's hot here in the islands !

I have an aftermarket amp that I am thinking of installing with my aftermarket HU.
I would like to put the amp under one of the front seats. Are there any concerns with removing the front seat to do this ? Any Issues with me doing this ?

Also, where is a good place to route the power from the amp to the battery ?

Thanks
Joe

2006 Sante Fe with about 20,000 miles. CEL light is on for P0130-O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1).
Thats the 02 sensor before the cat right? Its the one that you see when the hood is open and you look at the exhaust mainfold.
Would this be covered under warranty? Thanks

My SF is white with the standard grey lower trim- I believe it is grey on most two-tone models. I picked up touch-up paint from the dealer based on the vehicle paint codes. The white matches perfectly, however the grey touch-up is much darker than the existing grey. I also notice that no matter how long you let it dry, when you go over it with the clear coat is rubs off on the clear coat touch-up...

anyone know how to get fan control switch out to replace it dont know how dash comes apart im stumped any ideas.. thanks steve

When I purchased this Santa Fe new, the clutch did not engage until it was almost completely depressed. The mechanic said he would adjust it. He did that and it then engaged about a quarter way up, which I was happy with. Its three years later and now when the clutch is fully pressed while in gear the auto keeps moving. Is there something that needs to be readjusted or is this a major problem?

Oh where do I start. 2003 Santa Fe, V6 Auto, FWD.

The engine has been making a loud ticking noise lately, starting right after an oil change it seemed. It actually sounded a lot like a stuck lifter, so I had an engine flush done, but this did not remedy the problem. Popping the hood one day it was particularly noisy, I noticed that it sounded like it was coming from the serpentine...

Hi are they easy to replace?
i have a 2001 2.7 V6

Many thanks

Is there a way to make it beep when locking the doors with the keyless entry? I like reasurance. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm new to the Forum and I'd like to say hello to all of you out there. I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 3.5 and I'd like to change my rear spark plugs . From what I understand I have to remove the Plenum? What else is involved to get to the Spark plugs?

thanks,

I have a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe and the headlights at this point in time are covered in a sort of "fog" looking substance.

Any help on how to get this unknown substance off would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I have a sensor that is on its way out, I'm told by my dealer that it is bank 1 sensor 1 and the part number is 39210 37125. Can anyone tell me where this one is, I have looked at the locations someone posted up as word docs but I can't tell which one is bank 1 sensor 1!! I've attached the doc to save searching!

2004 Santa fe- air bag light stays on-

Does anyone have a trouble shooting protocal to follow?

occasionally I get a smell from the blow vents when first starting my 2006 Santa Fe and the smell does go away after a few mins, why am I getting that smell and what should I do to fix it? would it be possible that I have a coolant leak??

Thought I needed an alignment but found out the lower-control bolt was rusted out of the subframe. The 2001 SanteFE has only 39,000 miles on it. I'm paying for it we need the car. $2400.00 bucks! But I'm going to proceed to go through Hyundai and attempt to get reimbursed. I'm starting with their 800 number upon the advice of a Kia dealership owner. Anyone else have any...

I bought my 2003 SF back at the end of Feb. Love the way it handled in the winter here in the New York. Problem was though, I have a steep driveway, no issues going up, but when backing down the driveway, all four tires locked, and I was still sliding down the driveway. These are the original tires (Goodyear) with great tread left on them. What kind of tires do you find to be a great all-season...

I have read a few posts from people asking for advice on how to replace the front wheel studs.
My 03 AWD Santa Fe is apart at the moment and there is no way that the studs can be knocked out with the hub in place.
I have removed the caliper assembly, rotor and hub nut and fabricated a slide hammer to try and remove the hub assembly. It will not budge and I don't want to hit it any...

Purchased a 2003 used with 45k on it.... I have noticed that there is a clunk, I am assuming from the transmission, when I brake from speed, slow down but not stop, and accelerate. Checked fluid level, it is low, but not below the add line. Not other transmission symptoms, shifts are smooth when starting from a stop. Thoughts......??????
