CAUTION: If your Santa Fe has the 4 cylinder engine (2.4 Lit I4), that's DEFINITLY a risk. Get the belt inspected! The 2.4 lit 4 cylinder is notorious for belt failure (even before 60,000 miles due to the heat generated by the engine in the timing belt area. There is also a balance belt accompanying the timing belt on the 2.4 lit -- it is also prone, but not like the timing belt).
If it's the 2.7 or the 3.5 Lit V6, I still recommend you have the belt inspected by a competent technician.
The 2002 Santa Fe came with three (3) possible powertrains (engines). The 4 cylinder, and two different V6 engines - i.e. 2.4L 4 cylinder, the 2.7L V6 and the 3.5L V6.
The crankshaft position sensor on the 4 cylinder and the 3.5L V6 are in the same place - Front Crank Shaft behind the pully (behind the timing belt cover.
On the 2.7L V6, the Cranshaft Position Sensor is located in the engine block (Left Hand Side) near the flywheel (adjacent to the LH (Bank 2) exhaust manifold.
Note: Left Hand Side means the radiator side (front) Bank 1 is the firewall side.
Hello! I need a little clarification...The trouble report list the model as a Santa Fe with a 2.0 td...The Santa Fe does not have a 2.0L engine...It has a 2.4L (4 cylinder) or a 2.7L (6 cylinder)...Please tell me which engine is in the Santa Fe...
I have just had similar problem was on my way to work and car just stopped like it ran out of fuel . my balance shaft belt broke which caused the timing belt to jump a tooth still waiting for a quote for repair its up to $2000 so far through hyandai. after looking at other web sites realised this is a common fault with 2002 santa fe. you may want to get the crank angle sensor checked as well as my car has done two so far. hope this helps and your car is not as serious as mine
Hi:
All of the engines in Hyundai santa fe are interference engines, so you should regularly change your timing belt. The timing belt also drives the water pump, so it is always a good idea to change that too, if you have the engine apart for the timing belt. Here is a link to check out!
take my advice, do not try to replace a timming belt on 2.4 eng, unless you know the product, it uses a balance shaft that has a specific timing set up and you will need special holding devices to hold the twin cam sprockets, one mistake and its all over,a 2500 dollar mistake save yourself a lot of money take it to the dealer.. unless the belt has already broke, then you have bent valves and broken pistons
First of all, the particular vehicle you describe (2003 Santa Fe) came with three different engines (the 2.4 (4 cyl), the 2.7 (6 Cyl) and the 3.5 (6 cyl). Which one is it? NOW!.. Which belt are you talking about?
