In this video I bring you along as I perform an ignition tune up on a 2010 Hyundai SantaFe 3.5. The customer also wants a new belt and tensioner installed. It's not to bad a job really. It looks more intimidating than it really is. -Enjoy!

Back to the south main auto channel. We're going on the 2010. It's's the high end day it's the santa. Fe and it's got the 27 ish or so 35.
I guess. It is in this little guy uh. The fellow brought her in he wants the plugs the wires the cap the rotor before he told me so we're going to give him some spark plugs and some spark plug boots because i'm assuming that's what he meant by plugs wires cap and rotor. He also wants a new belt and belt tensioner.
It's a customer request. So we're gonna go through and do that uh to do this little guy you do have to pull this uh plenum here so the three spark plugs. I already removed the little plastic cover here the three front ones you can do the three rears you cannot without removing the plenum. So we're going to get a blow nozzle give it a toot and then get started.
I think we're ready to get started so we're going to get us a magnet tray. We'll stick that up there looks like we're going to need a lot of 10 mil. So i grabbed 10 millimeter. Short and beat.
I think we'll just get started quite a bit of stuff here it looks busier than it is i think so uh. There she is baby don't you very quickly and gingerly slip the intake out of your way or the plenum rather. We're just going to plug the holes in case. Today is the day of the dropsies well.
I guess we don't quite need this yet but we can use it we're gonna peel. All the coils out of it six bolts didn't drop a miracles do that so we can set those little fellas right. There let's set these little fellas right here unplug them if you wish look in the holes. It's the important part always look in the hole.
See if there's a bunch of crud in there these ones look good i mean real good if there is junk in there just blow. It out with a blow nozzle. We will remove the plugs like so then we'll have a look to see if there is any anomalies. I don't believe there is he didn't have any complaints everything looks pretty normal nothing weird.
We'll get the new ones and we'll jam them back in there it's classic 94404 from astro tools a magnetic spark plug universal extension socket set from astro tools link in description uh. Fantastic set use them over my snap ons any day of the week because they put the magnet in the bottom. Where it should be instead of up in the barrel where if you just breathe on it you break the spark plug uh. I suppose you could still break a spark plug with these if you're a knucklehead.
But not near as easily as you can do with the snap. We'll be using the ngk they're cut with a laser. They've got the iridium they're premium and with ngk laser uridium you get increased performance increase fuel economy reduce emissions and extra long life so if you want to live a long time buy. Ngk laser your radios you'll live forever.
So we'll pull them out they should be gaffed already but could you imagine doing a youtube video where you just stuck these straight in without even checking them. Now the comments would go crazy so we're gonna use a one millimeter feeler gauge here and i tell you what you got to be careful that little piece of precious metal. Well it's precious. So don't go. Flicking it off and i think the spec was one to 11 millimeter. Ish hyundai kia is very open we'll say on their specs of stuff but i believe the torque spec was even like 15 to 22 foot pounds just pick a number it says so we're gonna wind these down in the hole um no we're not going to be using the anti seize. The vehicle is that over 100k. It is 12 years old we pulled out the ogs with no issue whatsoever and they were the same plugs.
So i'm gonna think in the year 2034 when these will need to be done again a the vehicle is not going to be around because it won't last that long in the prny and b. Usually at that point. It's on its seventh. Owner well spark plugs are a long ways off the list of things that need to be done so get them in there.
I'll get the other ones here done. 15 to 22. I took a vote uh. We're gonna go 20 good even number.
We're going to start cramming them down. They're going to feel a little funny because they've got the washer. So the washer has to crush. Usually what you do in this case.
I think once it touches you end up going like three quarters of a turn that's kind of the average. If you're not going to use a torque wrench like 98 of the world. I think they even may even say on the box uh. So yeah so they're ngk's statement.
Here with the pictographs. I think that's what they're called you run it down until she touches and go about another half a turn unless. It's a tapered style. Then you go 1 16 of a turn so for what it's worth.
Let's see we did torque all these cracks see lost my train of thought one two buckle. My shoe. Better do these ones so let's see just out of curiosity. There's 20.
So let's see let's take this one until she's okay right there she touches so ngk says a half a turn let's see how close that is to the spec. I need to get another click here well so we're going to come over to this area well we'll do a cut. We'll do two quarter turns. We'll go here and then there again you ready there's a.
Quarter there's another quarter that's 85. There's three quarters of a turn like i told you originally let's try it again over here. Let's see let's take her till. She touches okay right there touch.
I just got some resistance. We got a little resistance. There's a quarter. There's a half that time that half was uh about 13.
We got almost three quarters. So it's all about perspective. I guess and feeling you know how do you know when it just touches so i don't know use a torque and choose your head whatever you want to do now we've done the plugs. We've got to do the wires cap rotor points condenser we gotta do the whole thing here we got these from the uh ngk from napper uh made in tijuana. It says six or eight required depending on if it is a six or eight cylinder. It also says and these are the plug boots and i believe are they the right ones are they the wrong ones. My guy because they look a little different. So let's open up one of course.
They're backed by the unlimited limited warranty as stated on the box. So we'll peel this off. We'll peel this one off down here make sure it goes on in the correct way boom. And there is our spring up on the inside let me get well.
I guess we can go caveman with it because we know the new ones work so we just give it a little pull you can see on the top side. You have the little dungeoner going straight across and the bottom is a bit fatter just like the new one bottom side top side all right makes sense it just makes it a little trickier to install so you can put it on give it a little push see if it catches oh in this case. It did look at that boom. So you don't want it just flicking out so in this case simply by pushing it down like that it did go in and catching the inner circle.
Otherwise. You kind of got to come by the spring with a little pocket screwdriver don't go cave man. Just just ginger down in there feel around and then don't stick the old one back on stick. The new one on a little dielectric grease you're good as gold baby.
Once you get all those swapped over give it the dielectric. It's about that much i would say just enough to cover by three quarters of the hole in the end of the boot. You see what i'm saying don't go hog wild with it the dielectric grease is used to insulate. It is never used to make a better connection contrary to your belief.
It is dielectric meaning. It is non conductive and this will insulate around the end of the boot to try to stop the electrons from shooting out the side because they really don't want to go down the middle of the spark plug spark plugs are very high resistance. Plus. It has to ionize the gap from mid air in the cylinder.
So if it can leak out the side of the boot and hit the side of the head by golly. It's gonna because that's easier control yourself all right now we'll get the torque wrench. So is kind of funny. Some people will take connectors on cars pack them right full of dielectric grease.
I think you're making a better connection and uh 99 of the time you're not particularly if it is a very small pin connection you know like in an ecm and i can't tell you how many times. I get a car comes in from the other shop and that ecm connector is jammed full of dielectric grease uh oftentimes creating way more problems than the original problem they were trying to fix with their guests and you have to clean it all out and you know restore pin tension. If you wanna uh contact enhancer stable at 22. That's the only way to go baby.
Once all that's done. It is simply a matter of throwing it back together uh feel free to replace the plenum o rings uh. If you would like to these ones are sticking up. Way up past the flat easily are reusable inexpensive to replace. If you like to do so use your judgment. Give them a good look over if you're going to reuse them we have to make sure that they are protruding that they will create a seal and i don't see any problem in these um. So so uh. I think uh last.
But not least the last the bolt and the power steering line on the back of the intake. Easy daisy. So the air plenum does come off quite quite easily on these folks. Most of it's all common sense.
As you can see it only took a minute or so to zippy zap. It off there and just put bolts back where they belong snug them up. It is plastic. So use your noodle.
When you're tightening stuff down torque wrench if you don't feel feel safe. If you're not in your safe. Place use a torque wrench otherwise. That's the easy job baby take your dielectric grease.
Give a little shot in each one of these the next guy will thank you and i thank you line it up give it one of those give yourself one of these and go see if the car still runs. If it does that's great first try so we're going full oem on this got this baby from napper uh. Not a sponsor. It's a schaeffler they use uh ena ina you know bearings bearings luke.
I believe they're all the same uh company it's made in the korea. And it's uh. The same as the one we're taking off of course. We're going to take a flip around there right away there and everything.
But you'll see you know has all the same stampings and castings on it as the og so let's uh peel this off here. What do we need looks like probably a 17 or maybe a 12. I'm guessing let's see 17. It is we use that big old ratchet that we already took out now the belt on these uh.
The og is made by continental uh. We're gonna put a bando on it which i was a little surprised to see it wasn't a band though but i had the og hyundai kia belt on it and it said continental contractor. So you can get continental belts. If you like i'm a big bandeau belt guy myself.
If i have a choice that's what you get i'll usually always get a banner or a mitsuboishi no it's a great belt in my opinion that baby loose uh so and that's that folks that baby slips right out of there we're gonna slip it right in with the new one we're gonna do the upper bolt here first. We'll just get it started baby come on all right we got that one started grabbing the big dog shimon down right. There now we can finish off that top one. I just want to kind of get it set where it needs to be you know grab your torque wrench torque that down to spec and then we're also going to tighten up this little fella and we'll torque that one down to factory.
Specs and then we'll get the belt threaded back up through there hopefully somebody paid attention to which way it went because this guy didn't that'd be torque wrench. Now. If you're using a four foot long bar like we are use your noodles. This is where it can get kind of stupid. If you know if you're being stupid. I guess so there we go there's that and then we can take the old 19. Still the same size stick this little fella on there make sure she works oh baby nice. There's the bandeau get these at napa also made right here in america get ready to hit pause folks.
There's your belt. Diagram for you in case. You need it looks just like that and there you are that was your only chance you had so we'll see if we can copy the diagram anyways. It's always easiest to stick it back on a smooth pulley instead of trying to get it up over rib pulley.
If that makes sense to you as far as what i'm talking about is your last pulley to put it on you know what i mean i think she don't like uh. I'll just say go with that i believe so yeah so i'm gonna take i'm gonna do as i say that i do we're gonna in this case. We're gonna throw it on a crankshaft last even though it's a ribbed pulley. I'll show you a little something there.
I've got a backup pad and that water pump. There and everything oops. He's still with me i'm going to show you a little trick. There.
Me mom taught me so typically you don't put it last on a rib pulley because usually the rib pulley's got a big outer lip on it to go up and over uh in this case. The crankshaft does not okay. I don't know if any of this makes sense to you so technically this should it should pop on for us. I could be totally wrong.
But in case. I'm not i just wanted to lead up to that doesn't feel like she's done more down that rib. There there it goes and just look around make sure the old belts on all of the grooves not kind of half hanging out making. Sure.
She's up on the smooth parts everything looks good up there i'm happy you're happy. Everybody's hats you're happy thanks that's just a matter of throwing plastic bits back in like so and then put the bolts back in there we just give it a look make sure. It's on all the pulleys everything looks good this guy should be happy. We did everything he asked i have folks the plugs the plug boots belt tensioner on your hyundai santa fe.
If you're upset about the noise in the background. Don't worry. It's just my daughter learning how to make a living we make our children work for money so she's cleaning cars raise them up right and hopefully they don't turn out to be jerks uh. Don't you be a jerk comment section.
The questions the comments the facebook instead it is my viewers i can do it thanks for watching.
that's right earn them coins!!
I had a truck driver walk into the shop tonight to check on his Freightliner. As he gets close, I say "Whats up Mrs O?" in my best Mr. O voice. He didn't get it.
Great video. My sons flip burgers and pay their way to college. Good on you sir. Your kids will succeed. you sure are a good teacher.
Awesome, teaching your children about responsibility and working for money.
Nice work MR "O"
You claim that the Factory Belt is Continental. I am confused by this. After I shut my Shop down and started working for another Shop, I have always pushed the Office Women (1 of them is the Current Owner of Said Shop) to use Gates.. They used to buy the worst Brand Dayco from Carquest… Here on the West Coast, Kia and Hyundai have their Logo's along with the Gates Logo on both Serpentine and Timing Belts… (Finally made them realise that these work and no more comebacks.) Do you think they may use different belts for different Regions???
Is silicone grease and dielectric grease the same (interchangeable)? I read that they are. Just wanted your opinion. 👍
Are you gonna show the cap, rotor, points and condensor or what!?
Much less invasive than a plug/"wire" job on a 2010-12 Ford Fusion with a 3.0. I had to remove the battery & battery tray, disconnect the fuel lines & EGR, replace the plenum & EGR gaskets, etc., etc. Don't want to do that again unless I am getting paid….
do you charge less in fast mode or are the rates the same. always learn a lot watching
Good work!
Maybe I've watched too much Sci Fi, but that Hyundai plenum looks like something off the set of the original "Alien" movie.
Teaching your children to be responsible adults one day is the job of parents. Keep up the good work.
timing belt not due yet?
Thanks for the video!
Great video thanks .. "plugs caps ,rotor button" maybe throw a set of points and condenser too …. showing his age there but you can see by the condition of the car he's a old school guy with pride in his possessions something that seems to be lacking these days in people's busy lives.
Kia hyundai engines are junk…. Famous for seizing and rod-bearing failure….my 2015 3.3 gdi just siezed up with no warning….. huge issue kia and hyundai refuses to address … read up on it…ps love the channel Eric👍🏽
Hey bruh, you forgot to clean the points when you put them in!
lol bando is the amazons budget belt
If your in Canada and near a princess auto they sell those same spark plug sockets for half the price and they are just as good
What do you use in plow plugs/connectors? Fluid Film? I have always used dielectric grease but still get corrosion from time to time..
I was so relieved to see you remove the paper towels from the intake ports. I forgot one time and found out the internal combustion engine does not like blue paper shop rags. I can laugh about it now.
Nice to hear Mrs. O. chime in that she is happy !!! A happy family is happy !!!! Teaching your kids to earn what they get makes them appreciate it more and be more frugal about where it gets spent !!! This job went very smoothly and everything fell into place !!! Well done, Eric !!!!! Never had no problem with Korean parts – Bando, Hyundai or KIA !!!!! But you gotta LOVE them DORMAN parts – a failure in every box !!!!!! Missing Luna the kitty, can you please put her in a couple of your videos ??? After all, she does keep your shop and office rodent free, she definitely earns her keep !!!!!! 😸
did you fix the front cover andd upper oil pan oil leak ?
Awesome parenting. Teach them right and less worry of things going wrong.
What is with the painters tape?
Stupid electron's, always looking for an easy way out.
Don't forget to check the vacuum advance
So NKG plugs should be used in a demolition derby vehicle so the car will liver forever?
I have a Hyundai Santa fe. You taught me how it should be pronounced, I told my wife that and she is sceptical about that. I let her listen to you say it even. But I keep pronouncing it your way (the correct way). But at the end of your vid you forgot to say it your (the correct way) way. A friend and I learned how to say many words as you say them. Oh yea your mechanical and diag skills are good too.
I wish all fan belts was as easy to do like the Hyundai.
Great to hear your kid's working hard learning the value of the shilling and working hard to enjoy it and a good family working together like a teem Kudos to you 🇺🇲♥️👍🏻🇬🇧.
Your the man Eric thanks for the video/content!!
Great engine Tune Up video Eric o Nice work as always @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
just throw those pesky coil contact springs in the trunk with the cap, rotor points, condenser and new ballast resistor.
Do you typically give the old parts back to the customer?
Had an instructor at a Honda M/C tech school tell me he spent a day and a half installing and removing spark plugs so he could tell the proper torque 'by feel'.Why not just use a torque wrench?Takes all kinds I guess.
I found 2 Massive 30 pin connectors male and female packed with aluminum anti seize the other day was causing the tail light fuse to vlow continually had to search the entire Harness to find that it was both connectors passenger and driver side kick pannels that bridge the tail light harness to the Fuse box oh man it took 15 hours worth of brake clean and compressed air blowing back and forth between the took to get all the goo out Eric O was shorting multiple pins in the connector to the tail lights and tow harness aluminum anti seize is not Dielectric Grease People lol @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
The cap and rotor looked brand new 😅
You assumed I wasn't going to just ugga Dugga them plugs in. The question is how many ugga duggas?
Amazing amount of work just to change plugs🤦♂️
You are a good man Eric.
Blue tape guy is OCD
Points? Condenser?
Awesome vid parental teaching !
Good job, both on the Hyundai and the child!!!!
Well done on teaching the kids! Oh and the car was good too 🙂
Well that went pretty smoothly. Thanks for the entertainment
ok sorry tell her great job make that bank
a local man has a hondo odessey that tensiorner is a b@@@##
I enjoyed the commentary on 'The path of least resistance'
sounds like the guy across the road mowing in ever vid.
Definitely need a daughter car detail video now!!!
Eric O, I have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited like the one you featured in this video. I have a problem that even the dealership or my local mechanics can't solve. My transmission started leaking from a port on the top of the transmission housing for some reason and nothing they tried will stop the leak around the bolt. The bolt does have an O ring which i have replaced but yet it still slowly leaks. The dealership tried teflon tape and nothing works. I tried thread sealant and that didn't work either. I'm running out of options. What is safe to use on the threads of the bolt that can withstand high pressures of a transmission leak that won't seize the bolt incase i need to take that bolt out in the future. Much help appreciated.
Hyundai seems to make a lot of design changes to their engines. One year, Santa Fe has a 3.5 liter engine. The next year, it’s 2.9 liters. Now, it’s 3.5 liters again.
Is it just me but did the number 1 plug not get tightened or torqued?
And I’m not being an armchair critic. I’m sure it would have been done off camera
Why no battery rackets in the last few videos?
Just cut the belt off next time unrouting it is a pain in the hoo hoo.
Yup, cleaning cars is woman's work. 🙂 You sexist!
So we should all line up and tell Trina "Hey, your dad told us you clean cars……" 🤣
Honestly, if I had an issue that I couldn't figure out, I'd probably make the 5 hour drive to your shop just because a trustworthy mechanic is so damn hard to come by lol
That light scared me. Looked like it was heading for the belt
What’s up with the 1/4 inch air ratchet ?
Napa sponsor this man.
My grand kids all work this summer, one (13) works at an A&W flipping burgers, 2 of them (13 and 16 ) work as cashiers in a grocerie store, the older one (16) works as a hockey trainer and monitor in a day camp for 5 to 9 year old kids. This keeps them out of trouble while the parents are at work.
If I could have moved that fast in my flat rate days, I'd be a millionaire now
You are a great parent… My father taught me the same way you teach your daughter… Great job on the car repairs… =)
No throttle body cleaning?
plug contact springs: what to I search for? I didn't replace them last time and now I want to inspect/replace. Thanks.
Thanks a lot, I own a 2017 Santa Fe with the 3.5 with 100K miles and it's about time to change the plugs. I wasn't sure it I wanted to do it myself but after watching your video I will do it
I've learned so much from this channel
Better be careful or the DPRNY will come after you for child labor law violations and tax evasion and whatever else they can find that comes with a hefty fine.
So that was the daughter in the background not Mrs. O. I must say that except for your shop I have never seen an auto garage in real life that actually had interior and exterior windows that one could see through.
She must need money for icecream!
Eric. You forgot to use the 20lb sledgehammer to reseat the plentum. Now it's gonna blow the rear wheel cylinders and cause the brake light to malfunction and mess up the muffler bearings causing the car to prematurely rust. GREAT JOB. 😅😅
Bando belts are the best IMO they're like the number 1 OE belt manufacturer
Thought I had tuned into Pakistani truck repairs when everything went fast forward 🤣
I might be in the minority, but I love the background noises on your SMA videos!! Reminds me of better days…
What a load of junk! Look at all that plastic.
I think you're supposed to get a permit to be happy in New York
You install that belt like a pro
I'm not being a jerk!
I was taught to put the belt over the largest pulley last
A very wise mechanic taught me back in the day…… "if" you have a choice of final pully that you are installing the belt… the one with the Largest circumference will be the easiest.
I would definitely replace the coils also and use the old ones as spares..I have more than once had to change a coil in a not so good neighborhood..😰
OMG you are making your kids work? You better watch it or the comrades from child protective services in PRNYwill come and slap you silly. 😜
Pump jockey eons ago, when we changed oil we always washed windows in and out dumped ashtrays and vacuumed, I think some of the customers only had their car cleaned at oil change time, good job for the kids
Flipping heck what a waste changing the oil every 3000 miles, all in favor of not going with the full "condition based" up to 20k miles " Long Life " service intervals, but 6k miles, even 10k miles with modern oils, is no problem. Particularly if it's going to rust away before the engine can wear out.
So at first I thought you had Mrs. O working hard at cleaning up until you explained about the kidos learning to work for a living. I agree with the thought as I was raised that way and tried to do the same with mine. I will say keep up the great work.
If mama’s happy every body happy!
+1 for Stabilant 22 … sticker shock when you see the price for such a tiny bottle, but it last for years and works like magic !
Just finished watching Rainman, and now I'm watching South Main Man…
I'm Happy
Make them work for it. another Belt goes down or on
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
easy job buddy
Was all this purely preventative or was the car exhibiting any symptoms?
