Opel in February 2013, began to look for yourself options. The criteria were as follows:

• Definitely Crossover: Roads in Sochi 2 years before the Olympics caused mixed feelings from hatred to power, pity for their car, envy pedestrians and desire to pay
• Preferably Avtomat - never had a car on the ACC, they say forgives driver's handheld and gives her left leg an unprecedented level of broiler comfort until full atrophing of the left leg as an unnecessary rudiment
• Be sure to have air conditioning - summer in Sochi begins at the end of April and ends at the beginning of November, I would like to keep the sobriety of the mind and the dryness of the armpits at least being inside the car
• Large salon and trunk - children's armchairs, strollers, bags with potatoes, disseminated, emigrant, shelter from his wife in case of unauthorized arrival home in 3 nights in a state of acute alcoholic, etc.

Review Handai Santa Fe 2008 diesel

In short, crossover. Budget at half a million rubles. Searches on the sites of salons. After an hour of searching, it became clear that for buying a car in the salon I a little more than a pod. Google, Drome, Avito.

Cascaia, Icstreyla, Raven4, - Everything that I was approached by the budget had either the state of autoham with mileage of more than two hundred km, or at the same run was almost my peer.

And here on the drome I see the ad - Santa Fe Classic, 2008, 530 kilubla, in Krasnodar in "Salon", type trad-in-room machine. The condition is good. Mileage 76 tyk. Turbodiesel, automatic, full-wheel drive, leather-face, climate, PEP, is it not cooking coffee. I called, got shattered, went to Krasnodar to Salon.

Purchase Handai Santa Fa Classic

We come to Salon - a fenced open-air parking with an assortment from the pelvis to Maseratti and an office in the form of a tricky shed. It should have scared, but the euphoria and anticipation of possessing as the ashes did their job. My car was already washed and she stands bitten - heated. Embedded. I must say the taurachtel she is not an hour and a half. Having left for a couple of tens of kilometers away from this landfill and having gone to dine, sowing back to the car realized that the battery was dead and dumbfounded in half an hour before my arrival. Well, okay, bought a new one, put everything ok.

My impressions and review Handai Santa Fe 2.0 Diesel 2008 after year of operation

For a whole year, the car did not deliver problems in general. Fair. I thought I was in the matrix. Consumption keeper, rides perfectly, Shumka is a good, the family is pretty. The drive is always complete, even on that erased rubber turns as on rails. I found that some kind of alien flows, "the pump gur died, well, as he died - he was broken to Herama.

Tagazovsky Wine Code does not fight on existers and other Emexes. I went to official representatives, ordered a new original - 9k rubles, in stock. Signed on the replacement, - in a week and 6k rubles for normochas. Ohreneli, some Patzanenok for a half thousand in the charation-installation service I replaced him in an hour. The steering wheel was better than the previous one. But how it looks in the cabin

My problems with Hyundai Santa Fe Classic

A week later, I drove into Zipie and somehow unsuccessfully, leaving the mud gave the Gat's that some axis sought the other. It began to pull the box when overclocking from the 2nd to the 3rd gear. And on the tiptonik almost did not jerk. Changed the oil in the automatic transmission. Effect 0. Called the Officials - Repair from 20 to 40 Kilubla. Scored.

So sold, by the way with this problem. A year ago, I made a chassis in a circle, put a new rubber - the Chinese replica Hancuc. Drop-collapse. The machine came to life in terms of comfort.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2008 Diesel Specifications

The engine power is enough for overtaking up to 100-110 kmh with more than, good torque, excellent high-terrain machine, normal dynamics. There is not enough 5th transmission, but not critical. Consumption is very pleasant. I had a 6.2 liter on the computer at least 6.2 liters in the back. The computer is lying about 7-9% in its favor.

At idling the car does not have the point of breath, he is heated with a clock. On the go warming up to the working barrier for a couple of kilometers of working urban traffic. Eats oil, well, my car ate. Approximately a liter by 3-4 thousand kilometers. Lil synthetics Castrol Magalka Diesel 5W40, the master said with the next replacement we will pour 10w40 (mileage 102-103 thousand).

Tagazovsky machines have a liner disease - this is the disgusting quality of the LCP (paintwork), especially on plastic, paint departs without visible causes. Bumper, moldings, door handles, mirrors. It is necessary to be to this ready. I did not care. I am not cultivating a car, but simply go on it. Behind, by the way, the place is also plenty

The climate is magnificent, air conditioning, the stove works as it should, without complaints. IMHO is weak the electrician, for the CAN bus, from which the plugs fall out forever. Not fatal. If the lamp does not burn, and it and its fuse is integer - the problem is 100% in connection to the bus. No need to scare.

Conclusion or Hyundai Santa Fa Classic Owner Reviews

Summarizing, I can say that I did not come across a kindness and reliable apparatus. Very unpretentious, comfortable car. Eats any solarium. Does not cause trouble. The only thing I regret that I took Tagazovskaya assembly.

There would be a purebred Korean and a couple of years later (well, or at least less owners than mine, I was in the latter, I would probably not sell at all. Value for the price / quality of this generation Santa Fe is magnificent. The presence of existing options for such a price was not no one from classmates.

Oh yeah, - the body is terrible. Well, yes, probably. Speed. Probably this is the first factor, which scares the potential buyer. All interested I would recommend such a car 2009-2011 with a mileage of no more than 50-60 thousand. I was pleased with the machine, parted almost with tears in my eyes.

I gave it with a huge discount due to trouble with automatic transmission and need to paint plastic body parts. I will not supplement feedback, since the car has already been sold, but I will answer questions if such appear.

Thank you for cautiously, I hope someone will be useful. I wish you all good luck on the roads and peace above your head.

In 2005, the Central Summary South Korean crossover Hyundai Santa Fe, which was serially produced since 2000, conducted facelifting. Changes were made to the radiator lattice geometry, the shape of the rear light unit, the rear bumper. Inside the cabin reworked the combination of the main appliances. The speedometer received a scale registering a speed of more than 140 mph, which was limited to the facelifting of 130 miles / per hour. Driving and passenger sunscreen visors acquired a sunpatch and pockets. In the Hyundai Santa Fe 2006 models, the model range began to paint in the body color of the bumper. 2.7 liter gasoline V6 was declared as the base engine. Among the options, it was possible to block the front airbag on the side of the passenger seat in the event that the front place is not busy, or the person is sitting low growth (child). 3-point seat belts were added to the database.

In 2006, Hyundai Santa Fe received another portion of change. Color Merlot (Merlot) and Red Canyon (Canyon Red) seized from the color range, and added a new color - dark emerald (Dark Emerald Green), available only on pre-ordered. The LX equipment was renamed Limited (limited series) and received the corresponding nameplates on the rear door. In Europe, the Santa Fe 2006 model year was offered with a new 2.2-liter diesel engine and a modernized 2,7-liter gasoline V6.

In 2007, the second generation of Hyundai Santa Fe was debuted at the North American Motor Show in Detroit, the mass production of which began on April 18, 2006 at the Hyundai factory in the USA, Alabama, Montgomery). From the preceding generation of Hyundai Santa Fe 2007 model range distinguished the new, modern exterior. The production of the first generation was discontinued and replaced by the model of the second generation. In Russia, the production of the Base model Hyundai Santa Fe was continued on the Taganrog Automobile Plant, where the car is produced to this day under the Hyundai Santa Fe Classic brand.

Inside the cabin Hyundai Santa Fe 2, the first of Hyundai Motor models received a blue-colored control panel (traditional for Hyundai is a green backlight) and highlighted cup holders. The top package Limited has become available in a leather finish. Large rear headrests, overlapping an overview from the inside, received a new form "SHINGLED", which does not interfere with visibility. The rear row of seats equipped with individual three-point safety belts and fastening of children's chairs.

In Hyundai Santa Fe 2008, the full drive system was significantly reworked (Borg-Warner Torque Management). The changes concerned the transfer of a larger torque on those wheels that had better grip with a road surface. In Hyundai Santa Fe, the second generation was solved the problem of body rolls when turning at high speeds. In 2008, Hyundai Santa Fe received a new navigation system manufactured by LG.

The second generation of Hyundai Santa Fe according to Consumer Reports in 2008 entered the top 10 of the world's best cars. This annual rating, considered one of the most prestigious and popular, evaluates cars on road testing points, safety and reliability.

In June 2012, the third generation of Hyundai Santa Fe crossover was launched.

Hyundai Santa Fairy-generation was first introduced in 2006 at the North American International Auto Show. The first serial Santa Fe 2 began to gather in 2006 at the American Hyundai facilities in Montgomery, Alabama. For the US market, Santa Fe was completed with V-shaped 6-cylinder gasoline engines with a volume of 2.7 liters (185 hp) and 3.3 liters (242 hp). 2.7 L was combined with a 4-speed "automatic", and 3,3l - with 5-speed. In 2007, an updated sortade appeared in Europe, where he received the prefix NEW. Santa Fe NEW was offered with 2.4 L gasoline engines (174 hp) and 2.7 liters (188 hp), as well as with Turbodiesel 2.2 CRDI (150 hp). Gasoline 2.4 liters and turbodiesel aggregated with a 5-speed "mechanics". For a motor 2.4 and 2.7 liters, a 4-speed "automatic" also relied, and for 2.2 CRDI - 5-speed.

In 2008 and 2009, there were small changes in the equipping of Hyundai Santa Fe 2 and the interior of the cabin. At the end of 2009, a more voluminous restyling was produced, after which Santa Fe was additive f / l. On the American Santa Fe 2, a V6 of 3.5 l with a capacity of 2,080 hp was installed in return for gasoline 3.3 liters, and a pair of motors amounted to a 6-speed "automatic". On the European continent, it was excluded from the list of 2.7 liters available to V6 with a capacity of 2.7 liters, and the power of the diesel 2.2 CRDI was increased to 197 hp. The 5-speed manual transmission was replaced by a 6-speed, and the "automatic" received six steps.

Hyundai Santa Fairy of the second generation was greatly popular and, according to European automotive analytical publications, was among the top ten. Large crossover is no less popular and in Russia, yielding only Mitsubishi Outlander XL in terms of sales.

Engines

Gasoline Motors Hyundai Santa Fe II are very reliable and do not deliver hassle owners. On V6 2.7 l after 100,000 km, the "ignition coils" (800-1100 rubles per piece) sometimes surrender. Catalysts go more than 150-200 thousand km. On the same mileage, the radiator begins to leak. Slow leakage can not be noticed, here it is necessary to closely monitor the level of coolant in the tank. Due to the features of the tank design, there is always a small amount of antifreeze at the bottom, even when there are almost no liquid in the system. As a result - overheating - deformation - engine replacement.

Diesel motors require more close attention. Problems often begin after refueling by poor quality diesel fuel. Resource nozzles more than 100-150 thousand km. The cost of new nozzles fluctuates in large limits from 6-12 to 18-20 thousand rubles. When running more than 100-150 thousand km, the owners of diesel Santa Fe New begin to notice a small knock. One of the reasons is the wear of the Coupling of the TNVD. A roller of the drive belt tensioner becomes a little less frequently. On diesel Santa Fe F / L, the owners also mark outsiders, more often during the cold season. It shifts fuel pressure regulator.

One of the reasons for the difficult launch from the parishes of cold weather after 100-120 thousand km - gas candles. With a longer use of candles, there is no discontinuity cases of bumping and their clogging when trying to replace. To remove the "broom" you have to remove the head of the block.

Approximately 100-150 thousand km can start twisting the rod of the vacuum regulator of the ward to the turbine. One of the preventive signs is the flowing pipe of the superior at the entrance to the intercooler due to the passage of the turbine. The turbocharger itself, but when running more than 150-180 thousand km, no, no, and it begins to "drive oil". The cost of the new is about 50 thousand rubles. When running more than 150-200 thousand km, there is a breakdown of the cylinder head laying.

Transmission

Mechanical and automatic gearbox are very reliable. One of the non-hazardous incurable disadvantages of the "automaton" - shocks / pinks when switching after a long movement in traffic jams. Technically, the problem is not solved, the situation is slightly smoothed after replacing the oil in the box. On Santa Fe F / L, when running more than 40-60 thousand km, faced with the need to replace the switch of the ACP lever positions (1-3 thousand rubles).

Hyundai Santa Fe New (2006-2009)

For the transmission of thrust on the rear wheels (up to 50%) corresponds to a multi-disc friction clutch controlled by electronics. The coupling easily overheats when slipping, and frequent departures on off-road quickly make it. The cost of a new coupling about 60-80 thousand rubles, restored - about 20-25 thousand rubles. The coupling is maintainable, the cost of its recovery is about 5 thousand rubles.

In 2008, minor modifications were made to the design of the electromagnetic clutch, which increased its reliability slightly. The first signs of the failure of the node are kicks / shocks / beats when moving with twisted wheels. As a rule, the coupling is enjoying more than 100-150 thousand km. Frequently meeting faults: the disappearance of contacts in the connectors or opening the winding of the electromagnet, as well as the scattering of the bearing.

The suspended bearing of the cardan shaft goes over 100-150 thousand km. The new bearing costs about 5-6 thousand rubles, the work on its replacement is estimated by services in 2 thousand rubles. With a mileage of 150-180 thousand km, it is possible to replace the elastic coupling of the cardan shaft (5-7 thousand rubles). Rear gear seal can "sit down" when running more than 150-200 thousand km.

Internal Slus has more than 100-120 thousand km. The cost of the drive assembled about 16-19 thousand rubles, and the work on its replace will require about 1-1.5 thousand rubles.

Chassis

Hyundai Santa Fe F / L (2010-2012)

Front shock absorbers Hyundai Santa Fe New surrenders when running more than 80-100 thousand km. On Santa Fe F / L, the native front racks begin to flow while running a little more than 20-40 thousand km. More often shock absorbers "die" in frost. The support bearings of the front racks Santa Fe F / L have to change after 40-60 thousand km.

Front and rear stabilizer bushings serve more than 60-100 thousand km. The cost of the sleeves is about 100-200 rubles per piece. Ideally, to replace the front - it is necessary to lower the subframe, which significantly increases the cost of work - up to 6-8 thousand rubles. But with a certain skill, you can do without lowering the subframe.

The owners of Santa Fe f / l in winter often complain about the creak of the back - the cause of the rear stabilizer bushings. Stands of stabilizers walk more than 40-60 thousand km. The cost of the rack is about 600-1000 rubles.

No vitality and rear hub bearings requiring replacement when running more than 60-100 thousand km. Bearings are changing assembly with the hub, the work on the replacement costs about 1.5-2 thousand rubles, and the hub itself is about 4-6 thousand rubles. Hyundai Santa Fe f / L often "clicks" at the first moment of the start of the movement. The front foot nut lift solves the problem, but for a while, after a while, clicks appear again.

Santa Fe F / L steering rack can sound when running more than 20-40 thousand km. On New, such a defect is less common.

Other problems and malfunctions

Body iron in places appearance of chips does not bloom immediately. Metal to corrosion is not inclined. In rare cases, Santa Fe is encouraging paint on the roof and around the frame of the windshield. Headlights often fog: after washing, in the rain or winter. Many owners still have new cars complained about the poor closure of the doors, which had to clap three times. One of the reasons is rigid seals. I managed to correct the situation after adjusting the door lock brackets.

Plastic Salon Hendai Santa Fe 2 is easily scratched and often creases, especially in winter. Moreover, the interior updated F / L crepts stronger. It is contributing to acoustic discomfort racking the rear curtain of the trunk and separate sofa backs. Easy to scratch the skin of the seats. F / L steering wheel after 20-40 thousand km. Dealers made a warranty steering wheel replacement, but after a year or two, the situation was repeated. The manufacturer did not fix this problem, apparently focusing on creating a new generation of Santa Fe.

When running more than 150-200 thousand km, it may refuse the drive of the climate installation damper drive that is responsible for the distribution of streams. On Hyundai Santa Fe f / l, an ESP cannot be disappeared with a flashing display indication of the full drive. After turning off the ignition, everything passes. The cause of such a phenomenon can be bad contact at the point of mass attachment, the "curve" setting the alarm or fad of the gear gear selector block. The ESP signaling device can also catch fire due to the burning of the brake pedal stop signals ("frog").

Conclusion

As a result, it turns out Hyundai Santa Fe 2 quite a reliable car, if you do not take into account the resistance of some suspension elements and other trivia. No wonder the authoritative automotive editions of the West contributed Hyundai Santa Fe to the top ten. Disadvantages the restyling model, which, along with small improvements, was carried out in the direction of downsayzing in certain directions. Apparently not to increase the price of the updated Santa Fe.

Acknowledge, I expected a greater effect. On paper, the advantage of turboodiesel looks overwhelming: it is 23 liters. from. more powerful, and torque is almost twice as above: 436 against 226 Newton meters! Moreover, the last, third generation of fuel injection "Common Rail" using piezoelectric nozzles makes it possible to achieve this impressive value from 1800 and up to 2500 crankshaft revolutions per minute. And as a result, overclocking until hundreds of one and a half seconds faster. However, recreated behind the steering wheel "Santa Fe-2.2CrDI" with a gasoline machine, something from a number of the output I did not find.

Yes, Diesel "Höndai" cut back, but not so much as the technical characteristics suggest. He willingly, the spores accelerates from the traffic light, alive responds to the gas pedal with urban rebuildings, does not hang on the oncoming lane during protracted overtaking on the track. But not to say that "Santa Fe-2.4" loses a lot. It can be approved with all the responsibility: not only almost two hundred powerful forces of the R series of the R - his development was engaged in a team of 150 designers, which successfully mastered the E150 million - but also 174 liters. from. No less modern gasoline engine "Santa Fe" is enough for all occasions. What, by the way, was taken care of again the freshest 6-speed automatic transmission, replacing the former 4-band "automatic".

Of course, 2.2CrDi is more economical. But you should not count on the front digits in TTX. What is 6.2 liters outside the city! For the week of our acquaintance, I could not convince the bornecomputers to show 10 l / 100 km when traveling along the highway near Moscow. In the city, how can you see for our pictures, the diesel "Santa Fe" drank 12-13 liters. In general, it can be assumed that the gasoline unit is about two liters voraciously. If so, then for three years (or 70 thousand kilometers) 2,2crdi will save its owner a hundred thousand rubles with a small tail.

But it is worth looking into the price list, and it is found that the basic diesel "Santa Fe" is 241 thousand more expensive than its most affordable gasoline fellow. And all because 2.2crdi cannot be purchased forward - only with a transmission of 4 x 4. In the optimal configuration "Comfort" - "Baiz" implies a mechanical transmission, which, in combination with a diesel engine, is difficult to call a good choice - a gasoline difference difference will be much more acceptable 116 thousand rubles.

So it turns out that only the one who has a sufficiently large gasoline stationary with the drive on the front wheels can be saved in a serious way. But if you need a full, albeit "parquet" - do not forget about a passenger independent suspension, which "Santa Fe" inherited from "Sonatata" - Sundrop, then you have two full options. Pay less first for the version with a 2.4-liter motor or overpay for a diesel engine and then spend less on fuel.

The rest of the car is equal - both distinguish the spacious, comfortable, well-equipped salon and not prone to aggressive chassis character. Here, by the way, why the serious theoretical advantage of a diesel engine in power and the moment cannot be called decisive: "Santa Fe" does not encourage a sharp, dynamic ride. In any case, it remains a car for traveling with the whole family for long distances at any time of the year and on any roads - of course, with a solid coating.

And yet, if you dig a pretty, you can find at least another argument for "Santa Fe" with a motor 2.2CrDI. The fact is that such a car has a competitor in our market, oddly enough, one-only "Sorrento" with exactly the same turbodiesel series R. And all the others are sold in price. The average size crossovers are sold in Russia only in a gasoline version.

We decided:

Powerful modern diesel is perfect "Santa Fe". It is more expensive than a gasoline engine, but promises to recoup the difference in the price of fuel economy.

From Hyundai? Today there is nothing surprising. But in the 2001th presented to the general public Santa Fe made a lot of rustle. The first pancake was by no means a lump - let not the most drive, but a well-balanced pariclenier came to taste very much.

It is from 2001 to count the success story of Santa Fe. In 2006, a new model came to replace typically Korean for design, more stylish, aimed at the European Buyer. However, the first generation only moved to the Tagaz conveyor, received the Classi prefix and for some time was sold in parallel with the novelty. But today is not about him. The second version of Santa Fe enjoyed no less popular, one of the reasons for this was the presence in a modest line of diesel engines 2.2 liters. Another engine was a 2.7-liter gasoline unit developed by 190 hp. Both "engine" were offered both mechanically and with automatic transmission, however, with gasoline aggregated a four-band-band ACP, and with Diesel - fivedia band. After restyling 2006, the choice of engines became more: a 2.0-liter 2,2-liter diesel was added to a seriously upgraded 2.2-liter diesel engine, and the V6 volume of 2.7 liters gave way under the hood of a new 2,4-liter motor. Boxes were changed: both types of transmission received 6 gears. Hyundai minimized the costs of the owner for servicing the crossover - at least such a conclusion suggests after comparing the list of operations at the same time. The belt in the drive of the timing of the first engines changed more reliable and "living" chain, oil in the gearbox and gearboxes stopped needing to replace. This once again emphasizes the intention to compete on an equal footing with European manufacturers, who have long limited the appetites of dealers, establishing their (rather low) tariffs for that.

Long-lived aggregates

The engines are generally quite reliable - with neat operation and proper care, they fully maintain more than 300 thousand km without overhaul. Of course, problems happen: so, closer to 50 thousand km have to change (or rinse) nozzles of diesel engines, the quality of spraying of which falls due to poor fuel quality. Approximately this mileage, it happened, burned candles of incandescent. In the first models with gasoline V6, catalytic neutralizers quickly faced (more than 60 thousand km could not stand), but very soon this problem disappeared. Santa Fe owners with a 2.7-liter engine and mileage of more than 150 thousand km is often followed by oil level - its consumption increases.

Transmission? No problem!

The weak place of the front suspension is shock absorbers. Whether the quality of the parts is not the best, whether severe power units create a large load - somehow the racks withstand 40-60 thousand km. Twice the sleeves and the stabilizer racks serve, but they will not surprise anyone in Russia. When mileage 20-40 thousand km may require replacement bearings, after 60 thousand km most likely you will have to replace the silent blocks of the front levers.

With the rear suspension, the situation is similar: sleeves and stabilizer racks also require replacement after 20-30 thousand km, shock absorbers again do not demonstrate the wonders of the survivability. But the nodes of the transmission of interventions require infrequently. On cars with "mechanics" closer to 120 thousand km, a clutch replacement is required, and often with a two-headed flywheel. Since the operation implies a dismantling of a subframe, it is rather laborious and, it became cost (about 11 thousand rubles. It is only a job). The transmissions themselves are withstanding more than 150 thousand km of operation. Pretty rarely fails of the Viscouft, suspended bearing and drive shafts (the backlash appears in the spline connections).

The front brake pads usually grabs 30-40 thousand km, rear - 40-60 thousand discs have to be changed after the second replacement of the pads. There are problems with the brake system - flows (and in the salon) the main cylinder.

Opinion expert

Sergey Ashnevich, technical expert, www.blockmotors.ru

The reliability of Hyundai Santa Fe and, accordingly, the state of cars in the secondary market is highly dependent on the specifics of their operation. If the previous owner did not consider it necessary to slow down in front of the wells and "lying police", prepare for the emergency replacement of shock absorbers. I imagined myself by Jeeper and loved to climb on dirt - perhaps the clutch is already faulty and the crossover from the all-wheel drive has become a front-wheel drive. In general, I will call the car reliable, especially since the relative availability of spare parts and a long warranty period makes it not so much to worry about each breakdown. Santa Fe is not observed any serious technical problems, the body is well protected from corrosion, "glitches" electricians are very rare

It seems the risk of trivial, but I consider it necessary to once again remind owners of Santa Fe that they have only a crossover that is not intended for serious off-road. Want to force the marshes - buy an appropriate car, a real SUV. But if your "off-roud" is a primer to the cottage, Santa will really be an excellent choice.

Opinion Opinion

Alexey Ilyin, Hyundai Santa Fe 2010 G.V., 2.2 diesel + AKP, 104 thousand km

From the car, I'm just delighted: reliable, comfortable, spacious ... The only problem with which I had to face, low-quality shock absorbers. They thundered from the first kilometers, for the first hundred thousand kilometers installed new three times (under warranty). Diesel successfully survived three winters, always turned into any frost. Antigel additives used only with a strong minus, mainly in the tank was standard diesel fuel.

More than once I went on my Santa Fe for long distances - this is where you will evaluate the comfortable chairs and fine settings of the chassis. A couple of times spent the night right in the car: if you fold the rear seats, it turns out the compartment with a flat floor, which is ideally fits a semi-gun inflatable mattress. In a word, an excellent crossover for both the driver and passengers.
