Good day everyone, Thanks for the whole tread, reviews and solutions provided.

Please I need help with reviews on Hyundai Santa Fe 2007 -2009 model. Is it advisable to get it as a first time car user and also what are the things I need to check out during inspection.
Your responses would be much appreciated. Thanks.🙏

just ahead ahead. Very fantastic ride. Try to get the limited edition. I have sold a lot of 07-09 Santa fe. They are very fantastic SUV. Get the 3.3L engine.

Please can you help me to understand the difference between the 2.2, 2.7 and 3.3L engine also considering the fuel efficiency and durability seeing I'm a novice to the market.

Thanks alot.
Much appreciated.

Hello, somebody please help.

I am considering a 2016 Hyundai Tucson .
I think the size and interior is perfect.

However I have some concerns , as I saw some reviews on its double clutch transmission having delays (or something like that )sometimes.

I would like to find out if it’s really a common problem. I would also like to know if there is a fix . I would also like a general review on the model.

And if review is negative , please help with perhaps better recommendations?
I considered the 2015 Santa Fe, but i think it’s much too big in size for me. The 2014 rav4 came up but it’s pricier and bland on the interior side. The 2015 Nissan qashquai came up, but people said Nissan was not good enough . Please help.

For context , I am a 5’4 lady , living in Lagos island and currently drive a 2013 corrolla sport.
Thank you .

i would like to buy the corrola if you will be selling. Anyway to contact?

you can browse it up. Only bought 3.3L V6 engine and that is why I can vouch for it. It's fuel consumption is very decent for an SUV. I only sold the Santa fe S Limited versions. https://www.nairaland.com/7296940/sold-foreign-used-2009-hyundai

As a 1st time car owner, your best bet is going with a trusted technician like 07089030689 for inspection.
I'm of the opinion that all cars (regardless of brand) will serve it's primary purpose well if well maintained and looked after properly.
I also advocate you buy what you need, would be loved seen driving (specially the kind of car you'll turn back to admire after parking), and can comfortably maintain for a 1st time owner.

Good morning,

Please I want to purchase a naija used Hyundai Accent 2013, what do I need to check out for. Thank you for the responses.

Good evening.

Please I need help with my 08 Elantra. Its been parked for a long time but I intend fixing it now. While driving, it doesn't move into next gear when the gas pedal is stepped on. Rather engine only revs higher then it takes some time before gear eventually engages. Reverse works perfectly. It was scanned and the flowing codes came up:

P0700 - Transmission control system (MIL requested)
P0011 - "A" Camshaft position - Timing over advanced or system performance
P0501 - Vehicle speed sensor "A" range performance
P0625 - Generator Field/F Terminal circuit Low.

Please help, thanks.

What's your take on Santa Fe 2015 ... A good car to buy for a lady? Note car is Nigeria used and user is elderly

Don't want a car to give her issues

Thanks for your response in advance

I'm always sceptical about Nigerian used. Do due diligence. Those Korean cars are best not bought Nigerian used. They don't tolerate abuse. Most Nigerian used cars are abused.

Good morning all, i just bought a Hyundai Sonata 2010 with a very bad engine with the help of a mischievous mechanic i thought i could trust. I've tried to return the car but to no avail. Now it seems the only option i have now is to fix the car.

The engine smokes from inside the bonnet and also leaks oil and water together (all dese we didn't see when we checked the car)

Can anyone recommend a sound Hyundai engineer or tell me the best advice on what to do. Thank you

Don't fix the engine, get a replacement engine. Only that I was told the engine is a million plus sha.

After fixing get rid of the vehicle

When you say it smokes from within the bonnet, I assume it's oil leaks from the valve cover thats dropping on the hot exhaust. If that's the case, a valve cover seal and generous silicone should do the trick.
For the coolant leakage, your mechanic needs to identify where it's leaking from.
As long as the engine never die (at least not yet) you can fix those leaks without issues.

That's the best advice I can give. But look for a technician for second opinion. But those Kia engines eennnhhh, I reserve my judgement.

My engineer says he'll have to ring the engine, that it will be okay after that.

Am glad to be here.
I use a sonata Hyundai 2008. NF. Limited. 2.4.
Being using it for a little above 2 years now.
I have being using Total Quartz 5000. 20W-50. I hope it's ok. If not which one?

The car has being serving.
I wanted to change the back coil spring. The inability of the 19 bolts to put out easily, I had to change the sprinkle, back chamber and fix broken nuts in the process of removing. I wonder why the nuts and bolts became so hard that the panel had to put fire on them.

Hello sir, can you please recommend a good Hyundai mechanic that handles your car .. I'm in Lagos

I am not in Lagos.
An experienced Toyota, should be able to help you.

[s]Check for leaks in steering rack, pressure pipe or pump[/s]

Check EPS, check EPS fuse/relay, check wiring harness and ground wiring.

Hello guys, am considering switching to Hyundai car, Santana Fe or Tucson, the real problem is finding a good technician in a case of repair, its the greatest fear, among my environment, so can a good Toyota Technician work on these kind of Cars? And are they expensive to maintain?

A good technician should be able to diagnose and fix your car. Your major concern should be availability of parts if you do not reside in Lagos, and other big cities.
