Many thanks!! Just changed my '17 Santa Fe Sport's plugs in 30 minutes because of your video. Perfect!
I’ve been searching for a good video like this bro, I really loved how you explained this process.
Thank you
Danny
Great video. Not mentioned was that the engine needs to be cold before starting the job due to the aluminum heads. This is how to properly use a torque wrench. My dealer quoted me over three hundred dollars for the replacement on my 2014 Sante Fe Sport 2.0 Turbo. As a side note my local dealer who makes up their own schedule for unneeded stuff did not inform me that the Hyundai manual recommended replacement at 45 k miles or 36 months. Ordering my plugs now...
Excellent video, Great direction great voice sound like a true teacher…I’d take your class.
Absolutely great video, thanks so much for sharing!!!
Mikeybo's 2014 veloster turbo thanks you.... keep those videos coming!!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you! Shop quoted this at $322! Will definitely buy myself a (simpler) torque wrench & do it myself.
Thanks so much for the video! You saved me a ton of money on this one!
Glad I could help!
Great video once again
Thank you that helped a great deal
Very nice instruction.
Nice informative video on how to perform a spark plug change on the Hyundai.
Seems pretty straight forward.
What mileage is recommended for changing them out?
I'm interested in cleaning my intake valves on my 2016 2.4L Santa Fe Sport, can you do a video on how to do this service?
Great Video
Thanks for your assistance
Great video thanks!
Definitely had to properly set the gap on the plugs for our Hyundai before installing them.
Thanks a lot!!
❤❤❤
Do you have any videos on throttle body cleaning??
Great video! Saved me lots of $$$$. I unplugged the coils and when I did part of the plastic broke off. It did still make that click when I put it back in. Should I put some kind on reinforcement on the plug or just leave it??? Another tip I learned in to use a magnetic tool to pick up the old plug out of the cylinder. I found the plugs off EBAy for about $15!
Glad it helped!
Wht kind of ngk laser iridium spark plugs do I get for a 2015 Hyundai sonata?
So I have a 2018 Hyundai Sonata sport. I have iridium XP spark plugs from auto lite. It says set the gap before installing on the boxes. What do I do?
Have a 2012 sonata! Awesome vid, with exact tools needed for the plugs. I like to change the iridium's every 75k, maybe that's to early, but my engine is burning about .25qt every 1k, idk if that effects my plugs, (they were nice in color) but I'll play it safe! And thanks for giving the torque for everything! Very thorough
Thanks for the positive comments! I’ll be doing some other repairs and services on this vehicle so stay tuned! We’ll be doing the transmission fluid, coolant, and sway bar end links just to name a few
You are doing fine 75k is perfect and industry standard for me it 75k regardless of make and model maybe some will disagree with me that’s cool when I worked in then independent shops every 75k was my recommendation just to minimize broken plugs in cylinder heads and so on with naturally aspirated (non boosted engines) and every 30-50k on boosted engines
@@Autotech1776 good to hear! 👍 Cheap fixes compared to expensive engines
@@philipev exactly no such thing as over maintenance IMO
Hyundai manual recommendends replacement at 45 k miles or 36 months on my 2014 Sante Fe Sport Turbo.
Great video and instructions. Appreciate the torque specs too. However, I need to warn everyone against using Autolite plugs. I installed Autolite and my car had some serious issues 1 day later.
Always stick with NGK or denso plugs
Have to change the spark plugs and ignition coils, on vehicle!.. after watching your video, would you recommend me doing anything not talked about in this video. Because I am changing these myself.
I wouldn’t change the ignition coils unless they’re giving you issues. Many aftermarket coils that you’d be using to replace them are inferior to the parts you’re removing
Thanks for this. I have a question on the plug gap. I cannot find this ANYWHERE in the manual. I have a 2018 Santa Fe sport with the 2.0t engine. I’m seeing online that the gap is .044 but this is for the 2.4 engine. I just came across some info saying that for the 2.0 the gap should be .035. Not sure what to do since the manual states nothing.
Iridium plugs do not need to be gapped .044 is the standard gap that’s all you need
One thing you should have mentioned is that the engine should be completely cool so the spark plug hole won't become deformed before you can get the new plug installed.
I prefer to do them with the engine warm if I’m completely honest. They seem to come out easier.
Did you say 4 foot pound torque for the coil bolts?
I watched your video and then decided to change plugs on my 2016 Hyundai sonata 4 Cylinder 2.4 liter, it has 117,000 mi. Another video said 15 lb torque for the plugs so I started trying to check around verify. I looked up the specs on the NKG laser irdiums. They say 10.8 to 18 lb for the cast iron head and 10.8 to 14.5 for the aluminum head. So my Question is if I took mine down to 15 ft lbs, (which I did) sonata 2016 is aluminum head, Am I good or should I back them off and re-torque?
You’re fine
@@SEsGarage thanks! I figured I was probably overthinking it
Nice video ,What is the part number for the spark plugs
SILZKR7E11
So, no anti-seize on the spark plugs? I'm old school and not used to the newer cars.
Recheck spark plug gap... factory set not always accurate. Also need anti seize on threads to prevent bake on
In my professional career I’ve NEVER antiseized a single spark plug. Never had an issue. If anything a small drop of engine oil will suffice. Iridium plugs are not supposed to be gapped
@@SEsGarage That can be debatable.. Will just leave it at that.
What NGK plugs please?
I’ve seen a few videos on changing these…do we not have to disconnect the battery?!?
Nope! Completely unnecessary for this repair
@@SEsGarage That sounds insane!
Is it safe to assume the torque specs for the plugs(18ft/lbs) and the coils(4ft/lbs)are the same for a 2015 sonata as well?
Yes
For that Engine GDI sonata 2013 ,, Is it preferred to use NGK Spark Plugs or DENSO spark plugs ? I’m tryna do Spark Plug service on mine , but tryna See which is Best/preferred for GDI engine.
They’re interchangeable I’d happily run either in my vehicles
@@SEsGarage for sure Thanks 🙏
Does anyone know if the "turbo" version (Sonata 2011) has wires that need to be replaced as well? I've seen multiple videos that go over spark plug replacement... and none of them mention the wires. Thanks!
No wires. They’re coil on plug
Thanks you!@@SEsGarage
Tankyou
QQ. If you find oil during the spark plug replacement, what does it mean? What do I do next?
Time for valve cover gaskets if you find oil on the outside of the plug!
So no antiseize on the threads? I see different mechanics choosing to add or not add.
I only use antiseize for marine applications
Is a 2011 Santa Fe the same with a 2.4 motor the same install !
Yes!
Is this video also for 2018 santa fe sport
Yes!
Do you have video on 2013 Hyundai santa fe?
This is the exact same engine and they use the same plugs. You can follow this video
@@SEsGarage but my santa fe is a 6 cylinder
@@xMrGAJx I have one for a 2010 Santa fee. Process will be very similar

Can I get the parts no., thx
do i need this fancy torque wrench? seems like a waste of money
I’m a professional mechanic, so I use mine regularly and it’s more than paid for itself. If you’re not going to be using it often, than yes it’s an absolute waste of money. However, I opted to use it to show the “correct” way to do the job
😂😂 torque wrench and hand tools lmao sorry flat rate taught me good and tight lmao not bagging also a Hyundai tech love you videos man Illinois Hyundai tech here and proud tbh everyone bags yea the warranty shit sucks but they are the MOST Simple car
I put on an act for these videos if I were still flat rate you know damn well that torque wrench would be sitting in the tool box 😂😂
@@SEsGarage 😂😂 lmao I get the concept of teaching people the right way I had thought about doing similar videos as you and legit street cars but I’m still active in turning wrenches don’t wanna face any back lash from either my shop or union so I’ve kinda stayed away but keep it up man
I’m huge into this car world love every car except German ones fuck them lmao everything else is cool and I’ll work on em lmao
Also based on the tarnish on that engine it’s a unicorn it hasn’t been replaced recently or ever and that’s rare these day I have one now we are putting a second engine it (cars totaled and pa still said yup)
@@Autotech1776 she’s still got the OEM vin plate on the bell housing definitely an original engine
Can you please do videos about ways to help make these engines last. I am terrified since learning about the class action on these engines. Im also hearing they are super picky about repacing engines turning most down. I can not afford another car right now or I would trade it. They make it sound like it WILL happen not IF. I need to do all I can to make this car last.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to make them last. It all comes down to a manufacturing defect that affects all of these engines. It’s not a matter of if, but when they’ll fail. I’ve replaced more well maintained engines than I can count. It’s really a shame
I hate spark plug sockets with rubber thing. I got the magnetic one and no issues.
Interesting that you left the distributors connected to their wires.
Those connectors can be pretty fragile as the cars age! No need to unplug them for this job and it prevents them from possibly breaking
Sorry, he isn’t a good teacher. This is for people who somewhat know what they are doing.
Can you elaborate? I’d be interested in making a “working on cars for beginners” series if you will
