Hyundai Santa Fe - excessive tappet noise.

Excessive tappet noise on a Hyundai Santa Fe V6 registered 55 with 27000 on the clock. How do I fix it, please?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    hi from uk why do you need to fix the problem ? hyundai warranty is 5years and as your vehicle has only 27000 miles ? this is most certainly a fault on the engine ? that is covered your vehicle is not yet run in so to speak ? this noise may or may not be serious ? so contact HYUNDAI'S HQ COMPLAINTS WITH THE PROBLEM 1ST and do not be fobbed off by dealer as to warranty cover

Ok my tappets on my hyundai santa fe 2003 4 cylinders is making noise and i would like to know what can fix that

The problem with hydraulic lifters is they clog loose oil flow.I will give you a trick my dad taught me years ago.Drain two quarts of the engine oil and top it off with auto transmission fluid.No this will not damage engine.Let the vehicle idle till the noise is gone, may take an hour.Then change oil and filter.I have been using a quart of atf in my oil for 20 years and i drive high mileage vehicles with lots of miles.I am driving a 95 chevy van and a 01 buick both with over 200k and no oil leaks or sludge in the engine.Cheap fix.

My 03 Hyundai Santa Fe is slipping out of gear while im driving

Sounds like the clutch is slipping . You will need a new clutch assembly and fly wheel. Also make sure the crank shaft end play is not excessive.
