My dad wants to buy a 2001 Santa Fe but he needs quite a bit more leg room.
I can see that you can gain 2-4 inch by doing the modification version 2 but I would like to know how much you would gain in total by doing both mods? As i can't see how much you actually gain by doing version 1.
thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated

While reading elsewhere on this forum I learned that not only is there a rear differential but also a transfer case whose fluid should be changed.
I didn't even notice a fill and drain plugs for the transfer case while changing the transmission fluid.
No doubt these plugs are also under the splash pan and that it will have to come off again.
The specs for the fluid for the differential and the transfer case could be interpreted to fit Mobil 1 synthetic gear lubricant 75-90W, GL-5.
What are the pros and cons on using Mobil 1 for the replacement fluid for these two applications?
Or is it best to play it safe and follow the owner's manual recommendations for these fluids?
The rear differential's plugs are obviously in clear view. Are the transfer case plugs in a... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Skiziks) http://santafeforum.net/topic/6081 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:00:30 PST <![CDATA[ I'm looking for a double din bezel control trim for my 2005 Santa Fe ]]> http://santafeforum.net/topic/5984/t/-m-looking---double-din-bezel-control-trim---2005-Santa-Fe.html
I want to install a double din in-dash car DVD player in my 2005 Santa Fe: for that I need a double din bezel control trim but it impossible for me to find one. I live in France where it's impossible to buy one.

Long story short, it's been a year this month that I've owned the '08, I've replaced the filter repeatedly on my '02 Santy, how hard can it be to figure it out? Turns out, it's even easier on the 2nd gen Santy. Absolutely everyone and anyone can change it out on your own without a single tool, without taking anything apart to get to the filter. Open the glove box, squeeze each side of the glove box inward a little to let the rubber stoppers on both sides slip past the little grooves they sit in, let the box hang gently on its own and - there is the filter housing sitting horizontally!!! That simple.

A few casual observations that may help someone if they decide to do the same in the future and want a couple pointers!

#1 - I found that etrailer.com was my cheapest option for a purchase (at least when I purchased it, this may change at any given time!) I bought a Draw-Tite hitch, but the Hidden Hitch brand is identical. They even have an instructional video of an actual install of the very hitch on an '07 Santa Fe (which will also fit the '08 and I am assuming the '09 thus far -no feedback yet). Shipping was free, but I opted for the 3 to 5 day express shipping for $7.50 more... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Edging1) http://santafeforum.net/topic/5887 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:21:40 PST <![CDATA[ Replacing Turn Signal Stalk ]]> http://santafeforum.net/topic/5631/t/Replacing-Turn-Signal-Stalk.html
Before you start, make sure the steering wheel is in a close to dead center (if not dead on) position.

1. Tilt the steering wheel up all the way.
2. Remove the four Phillips head screws on the underside of the column casing trim.
3. Slide the tilt wheel lever up all the way and use a long screwdriver to pry the two column trim pieces apart.

It consisted of a transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. The resistor controlled the rate of flow into capacitor and once it (the capacitor) filled, the wiper would cycle once.

A friend came over not too long ago and we opened up the rear wiper logic box to examine it. I feared it would be totally computerized but imagine my relief when I saw simple solid state electronics.

I am going to be installing a remote starter in the 2001 santy which already has keyless entry/alarm. I am wondering if anyone has found an alarm disable trigger pin on the alarm module so that the keyless entry doesn't set off the alarm.

Where is the alarm module located?

I tried it with a second unit and the same thing happened. The I put the old one back in and it works like a charm..... but no fob.

Has anyone run into this before? It is like there is a wire of relay not in place. does anyone have wiring diagrams for these two different setups (keyless and no keyless)

I helped a buddy of mine replace his pads and change the rotors on his 05 2.7 AWD on Friday and with two small exceptions everything went smooth.
I started in the rear and the first rotor we attempted to remove wouldn't budge. Five pound mallet, deadblow hammer, nothing would make it move. Started wondering was I missing something like a retaining bolt or needing to use a jack bolt like some of the older cars I've owned. After about two hours of banging on this bad boy I needed some advice. I called Kevin at Hyundaii Accessory Mall and he was more than happy to help. Just keep spraying it with WD40 and whack away, no retaining bolts (other than those two usless screws) and no jack bolt. It finally came off and the rest of the brake job went smooth.
Once again the guys at Hyundai Accessory Mall have come to the rescue, they are great.
