This parts place sells one for the '02-'03 Santa Fe and says it's an OEM fuel filter. If you can believe the site, it fits on the bottom of the fuel pump inside the tank, which wouldn't make it something they'd expect you to change frequently unless access to the pump in the tank is lots easier than it is on most cars.
 
The Edmunds Maintenance Guide says it gets changed at 52,500 and 105,000 miles.
 
Any owners lurking who've actually changed out their fuel filter?

Interior door and panel removal by johnc

How does one remove the interior door panels and the rear interior side panels on the Santa Fe 2004. What holds these panels on? Is there a trick or a procedure to follow? Are there invisible clips or screws? Is there a special tool required? Where can I find this information? At this time I want to remove the rear side panels in the cargo area under the window.

2002 Santa Fe Electrical Problem by anthony78

Recently my heater core as gone out and I have had it replaced. The mechanic said that it flooded the computer (both located in dash) and said that is why the entire dashboard lights, gauges, radio illumination are working only sometimes. They wanted 300 bucks to diagnose it and said it probably wouldnt be worth it to replace. Is this true? Could it be a relay instead or some other issue all together? The problems only started happening after the heater core when out and before and after it was replaced. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Transmission 2002 Santa Fe by ncamp

My Santa Fe gets stuck in 3rd gear when driving. Have to pull over turn it off and
restart. In the morning after warming up, it won't go into gear, lots of stopping,
jerking and thunking. Does this sound like the Transmission shift computor? or
the sensor? I also see notes about a faulty switch in console shifter housing.

Warning light by paphospete

I have a 2.7 petrol Santa Fe' that I bought new in 2002. I've had numerous faults that are far too long to go into here and for reasons best known to themselves, the Cypriot dealers only give a three year warranty instead of the five offered elsewhere.
 
Yesterday I had a 'check engine' warning light come on and the vehicle is running 'lumpy'. I have no choice but to go to a main dealer here in Cyprus but have no confidence in their ability to find the fault or charge the correct amount.
 
Any offers anyone? What should I be looking at?

I had my Sante Fe into our Hyundai Dealer and 3 other mechanics. I was told everything from a module to a new transmission!
I took it to our local Jiffy Lube and all it needed was transmission fluid. Although
I have it serviced as required, it seems to run low. The check light in mine has
always come on when low on oil or transmission fluid.
 
Funny all the mechanics missed that!

I just had a rear lower control arm failure with my Santa Fe. It is at my mechanic now. In the course of doing research on recalls, I find that Hyndai has finally issued a safety recall for this defect.
