#74 of 133 Re: no timing belt replacement at 60,000 voids warranty? [nomoresantafe] by michaelw2 Dec 06, 2005 (2:07 pm)
Replying to: nomoresantafe (Dec 05, 2005 10:45 pm) also curious   my dealer told me even if I do not change engine oil at 3month/3thousand mile, will invalidate all the warranty, even in the owner manual it said 7500 miles( correct me if i am wrong).   the more tricky part is what if I change it at 4 month or 3100 miles? will it also be ok?   I guess it really depends on hyundai's reputation on warranty.

#76 of 133 transmission and antifreeze fluids by tmbm Jan 31, 2006 (2:24 pm)
Hi I have a 2004 Santa Fe. Had it inspected today and the guy at Midas showed me the transmission and coolant fluids. Said at 27,800 miles the trans. fluid should not be black!! Also the overflow container had no coolant in it. The temp was only set for 20 below. Here in upsate NY should be set for 35 below. Went to the Hyundai dealer where we are leasing from and he said both should be taken care of ASAP for over $400!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions? Thanks.

Replying to: ohiojim (Sep 20, 2005 7:16 pm) Hi ohiojim Saw your post about changing the timing belt on your 2002 v6 santa fe. I have a 2001 4wd auto 6 cyl santa fe and am thinking of changing the timing belt and water pump on it myself. How did you get on when you changed you t-belt. What problems did you encounter, what sources of information did you find useful? Did you need any special tools/computers Was the job worth while doing yourself? I am mechanically minded learner just changed the t-belt on my girlfriends vw jetta using bentely manual   Thanks in advance for your help Patrick

I have a 05 Santa Fe with the 2.7 V6 engine. I am going to start doing oil changes myself but can't figure out from the manual how much oil, with filter change, the car takes? Is it 4.2 or 4.8? Also, how much transmission fluid on the auto tranny? Thanks for any help.
#79 of 133 Changing radiator cooant by teacher447 Jun 24, 2006 (11:46 am)
I'd like to change the coolant in the radiator of my 2004 SF. There is a plastic plate under the radiator. Is there another way than to remove it to get to the radiator petcock?

Replying to: zarin (May 24, 2001 12:30 am) My wife sewed a terry cloth towel with a zipper on one end(make it slightly larger than the base of the child seat). Into this she placed a piece of foam mattress block. She placed this cushion unit between the leather seat in the back and placed the child seat on top of it. After 4 years, whenever we've had to clean the back, the leather was protected from scuffing and the foam block cushioned the leather seat from imprinting. Be sure to condition the leather seat in its entirety whenever you clean to maintain its suppleness and texture.

Replying to: nomoresantafe (Dec 05, 2005 10:45 pm) Get that sucker serviced. My vehicle caught fire w/ relations to the timing belt. see: www.flaminghyundai.blogspot.com. You will not find mention of the timing belt there, but I assure you it was part of the problem, as well as the water pump, and clashing pistons/valves. Thank you.
#82 of 133 60,000 Maintenance and Timing Belt by joblack Nov 01, 2006 (8:11 am)
I have a 2003 2.7 V6 and need to change my timing belt shortly, as I have 59,000+ miles. Do I need to do "all" of the 60,000 maintenance in order to keep my warranty in tact or can I do portions of it? (I was told that instead of the 60,000 maintenance, I could do a Transmission Flush Service and a Coolant Flush Service instead). Also, I was given a price for the 60,000 maintenance which included the spark plugs, but was told the wires would cost an additional $85.00. Does that make any sense?? Thank you.
