Just sharing that my 2004 Santa Fe hit 170,000 miles and I finally gave in and had the timing belt changed since my mechanic had been telling me for 2-3 years that - you just never know.
Well, when he got it off, it was in excellent shape and I really could have skipped it. But by the time a mechanic can see it, it's too late and the labor is already invested. Anyway, can't speak for the other years, models, but the mystery is solved: 2004 Hyndai Santa Fes have GREAT factory timing belts that can run forever. Leave them alone.
