Good evening, sir. I would like to thank you and your wife for making this video. I have the same car as yours, and it has been a nightmare trying to find someone who's got a 3.5 hyundia doing timing belt. I started off doing cam and crankshaft position sensors now its timing, but i really wanted to thank you. SALUTE 🫡
Excellent Job! You did Good with the Water-pump! Most Mechanics use a Emery-Cloth Wheel on a Die Grinder to clean up leftover gasket crud! Sandpaper would take a little longer, with the same outcome! I couldn't find (part 3)of your Timing Belt Project! Good to know about those top timing gear-sets!!! And those little holes in the Tensioner Pulley center! And the holes in the auto tensioner remind me of Old-school GM Alternators! I use a small drill-bit to hold things like that, the shaft of a small drill-bit is smooth and durable! I'll make a list of parts needed before starting this job! (with Thanks) D
Runs really good!!! Alot more power and better fuel mileage. I would recommend changing ASAP on a 2003. I believe 99-00 had alot of time belt problems. If the time belt breaks while driving you could possible ruin the entire engine. Good Luck...
I had to change both cylinder head gaskets(03 Santa Fe 2.7L), so this was a part of it. You didn't have to remove the entire water pump assy. That back cover could have stayed on. I bought my pump from the dealer and it looked like the one you bought. For future maintenance, I recommend HMASERVICE. It's the official Hyundai online maintenance manual for all vehicles, and it's free.
On the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors it's best to bite the bullet and get genuine Hyundai OE! They will more then likely keep you from having to go back in to for a long time. To me, that worth a few bucks more!!!
Question: did you happen to notice a bolt that goes through horizontally to the lower intake manifold. There seems to be one I cant see that is keeping me from removing the lower manifold. Thanks...BTW great video!
I gave you a thumb up because that looks tough to do. I hope I never have to do one. But if I do, I will be coming back to your video. Is this the hardest timing belt that you have done? Love your videos.Thanks for sharing.
Len, did you replace the Throttle Positioning Sensor as well? I usually replace both, along with the water pump, when doing this job. You only want to go in there once. The TPS is back toward the firewall, on the right rear of the engine. Make sure you make marks to install the new unit.
How did your truck run after it was all assembled? I have a 2003 with the same engine...this video will greatly help me when my time comes...I think I would have changed out the alternator though...great job!!
This project cost me about $500 and a good 10 hours. This was my first time doing a project of this magnitude so I did take my time. I would be careful with this purchase and have a qualified mechanic take a look at it first. These are ZERO Tolerance engines. Meaning if the timing belt has slip or is completely broken. The pistons could have hit the valves and bent or broken them. This basically ruins the engine. If it still runs you could try a compression check on each cylinder. Good Luck.
Oh you bet I did... Wasn't about to have too tear this down again just for that. Plus there was a small hair line crack in the sensor so its probably a good thing I did. I also replaced the cam shaft sensor.
It sounds to me like it may have jumped time... When you replaced the crankshaft sensor did you check your timing marks to verify that everything was still on mark? Maybe the sensing plate on the crankshaft or camshaft??? Is your check engine light on? Maybe have someone put it on a computer to see if some codes may point you in the right direction. Good Luck.
hi *Shadetreetech*. do you have a link to the cam tool? I've been searching for days with no luck for the specific tool and don't know if the generics will fit. really in a bind. thanks. .
I believe it’s a Kent-Moore P/N 09231-39000. I found one on kiaspecialtools.com. Apologies this is coming a year after your comment - I’m just investigating this job myself
i'm just now getting to the job. your videos cut out the part of removing the rear timing chain cover. I can't get mine off with that power steering line just a half inch away. how do you get that rear cover off without busting it? I struggled for hours and will hit it first thing tomorrow but not very optimistic.
About how much did this cost? The reason I ask is because I found a 2005 Santa Fe with 88K miles on it and a bad timing belt for about $3,000. So I was wondering if it would be a good project to save money on a car. Also, is there any way to check and make sure that it's actually the timing belt that needs replaced and not something major. thanks, John
i have a 2005 santa fe done timing built drove it for 1000 kms and then this happen ...when it get warm it stuls out i change the crankshaft senser cam senser and plugs stel ts doing the same anyone know this is happening

FYI, you can usually find timing belt/water pump kits for these cars online for $200-300 depending on manufacturer.
Torque specs for metric engines are in NM or Newton-Meters. You can convert NM to LbFt by dividing NM/1.356 = LbFt.

Did you ever make part 3?

RockAuto has the crankshaft sensors for $12 plus shipping

How many hours did it take all together?

Is it possible to replace the camshaft position sensor without undoing the belt and crank pulley?
Thank you for posting this tutorial video. Where may I find part 3?

What is the timing marks on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3-4
There are notches on the pulleys.

i am in over my head…
i have a 2005 santa fe done timing built drove it for 1000 kms and then this happen ...when it get warm it stuls out i change the crankshaft senser cam senser and plugs stel ts doing the same anyone know this is happening
That Sucks that they never used a chain.. That's a real pita
