My 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe making a horrible noise. Was told in order to take care of the noise. . Needed to replace the air conditioning compressor. I asked the dealership if there was any way to bypass and was told no. Is that correct? I feel deceived already by them because they told me it was the teancher on the tiMing belt. I had that fixed and still the the horrible noise it went in for.

its your serpentine belt (thats what its called) and you will need a 3/8 ratchet and then find the belt tensioner. The tensioner has a spot where you need to put the ratchet into and pull or push depending on whatever way and that will releive the pressure off the belt so you can take it off.

If you live in the US, take it to qany Auto Zone store and thy will read the codes off for you, I would suspect any right thinking competitor would do the same, check if you don't have one near by.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi

On the 2.7 engine it is located beside the starter. You will have to remove the starters heat shield to gain excess to the crank sensor.
