2016 Hyundai Santa Fe - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hyundai Santa Fe smoking signal switch.
Do you mean the signal / indicators switch is smoking and making crackling, arcing sounds? Yes, that can easily cause a fire, but fuses should prevent it. The fault needs immediate attention preferably by an auto-electrician rather than a mechanic.
How often do I change oil on my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited?
The general rule is a change every 12 months. Not all vehicle manufactures use a dedicated oil service light. Some use a message on the dashboard display or even the Check Engine Light. If you are in ANY doubt change it anyway! Check your oil on the dip stick and in the fill hole for the colour and, using latex work gloves, the feel of it between your fingers. Good oil should be the colour of very weak coffee and very smooth and slippery to the touch. If the oil is dark coloured, black or gritty to the touch Replace it as soon as you can! Also look out for any "mayonnaise" like build up in the filler hole. This is one of the signs of a blown head gasket.
How often you change the oil can also depend on a few other things.
-Miles driven in a year,
-How hard you drive it,
-Where in the world you live.
- Past history of the car.
If you drive a lot of miles I would suggest you change the oil every 12 months even if you don't think it needs it. Oil cleans as well as lubricates thats why it turns black over time. I use 10,000 to 12,000 miles or once a year which ever comes first as my rule.
If you do less than 5000 miles a year you could possibly stretch it to every 18 months or 2 years BUT NOT more than that.
If you drive the vehicle hard do it every 12 months no longer than that. Your giving the engine a good work out so fresh oil is always good.
If you live where it is really cold, really hot or very dry you will need to change it every 12 months every time as the extremes of temperature alter the thickness of the oil making it behave differently, (Cold - it's thicker and harder to flow, Hot - It's thinner and flows very easily).
An older car may not have been looked after properly so really old, dirty, black oil can actually damage an engine.
2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Rear
I'd love to know how this turned out as have the same problem with 2009 Santa Fe now.
Broken rear window has been removed but cant open the hatch.
I have removed the internal liner and all the lever rods are attached. A bit of glass inside the door and I have tried banging on the door to unblock it. Squirted CRC in the area and will leave until daylight and have another go.
2010 3.5l. How did transmission fluid get on top of the automatic transaxle?
Just guessing - 3 possibilities come to mind; spillage during filling or topping up, the transmission was overful and fluid has been ejected from the breather or the fluid has boiled and been ejected from the breather...
Your first call should be to someone who has dealer level diagnostic equipment to check the fluid level.
2010 Limited 3.5 FWD. How can I find oil and coolant leaks?
Finding oil and coolant leaks can be difficult and systematic work on an unfamiliar engine and usually begins with a wash down followed by a short road test and a close inspection from many angles with a strong light and a mirror though those familiar with the engine can often make a fairly accurate guess at the (common) locations.
These days many professionals add a fluorescent dye to the coolant or oil and instead of searching for the leak with a normal inspection lamp they use an ultraviolet lamp...
2008 hyundai sante fe chime wont shut off while driving, radio not working
both circuits are powered through the i/p junction box (fuse box) through power connector feed basically it needs to have voltage checked at door switch and radio power in see if has voltage, common supply is from I/p fuse box may need this replaced. if a door switch is not opening switch when door closed then this will make chime come on , most common issue is seat belt buckle gets shut in door and bends door panel at switch contact point . check this area first for dents.
