Common problems and easy repairs on a 2001 Santa Fe

The 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GL is a moderately difficult vehicle to maintain, but shouldn’t be too hard for those experienced in vehicle maintenance. You will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle for access to it. The lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle and be difficult to turn. Changing the cabin air filter with reliability is a problem, as you will have to completely remove the glove box for access. You will need a few tools to access the center brake light bulb. The tools necessary may not be readily available for a repair.

Some things are easier on the 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GL. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will make it easy to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis. Changing the engine air filter is no problem, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. Checking the oil level is easy to do, as the dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
