Why does my Santa Fe’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Santa Fe testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why does my Hyundai engine sound different?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Hyundai Santa Fe engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Hyundai Santa Fe engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Hyundai Santa Fe radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Santa Fe radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Santa Fe to suddenly stop?

If your Santa Fe car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
