it might be hard to hear since i had my phone far away from the car i can record while having my phone right next to the engine
okay
Definitely burns oil; how is the oil in your sump looking?
Also, any lights on the dash? If so maybe hit up a reader
you can tell if a car burns oil just from the sound?
I don’t think a stock Santa Fe sounds like that so I am gonna assume something is wrong on the turbo side though. I did find this video that may be related.
Hey guys i will bring you along on how i diagnose if i suspected a turbo complain. In this Hyundai Santa Fe turbo, the customer is complaining about abnormal noise while driving, or accelerating. On this case the leak on the intercooler is not that bad that can cause a check engine light. Many mechanics can misdiagnose this as a turbo failure. ...
Do you not see the blue smoke?
Could maybe also be the diverter valve, not to sure though. Really hard to diagnose over discord.
True, Hyundais never run right
Oil smoke is white
im a bit colourblind, but now that you say that i can maybe see it.
it's more commonly blue
That’s coolant not oil
No it’s not
It’s a blueish grey, trust me I know. My dad’s t100 is on its 3rd head gasket lol
Was blue when my radiator got blocked
That’s coolant
Was blue when my radiator was blocked bro all I’m sayin
Coulda been too hot and ended up burning some oil but idk dawg
Ur probably burning a bit of oil then
Well I don’t anymore so
there was a check engine light but its gone now
i dont think it could be burning oil bc i have been checking the oil level after every drive and the level is not droping
if yall need i can put my phone closer to the exhaust so you can see the smoke more clearly
and abt the coolant thing
like 3 days ago i checked it was at level but the next day i checked the tank was empty
i filled it up again now its at level again but idk where does it dissapear
the head gasket was changed like 1k miles ago
i also drove the car on ramps but couldnt find anything leaking
oh and when i took off the engine cover plate i saw that the 4th fuel injector had oil on top of it
and there is some kind of connector that connects to the turbo but when its plugged in the car keeps choking and does not want to drive
and the turbo whistle was never there before
