My Santa Fe’s engine is ticking after oil change – any expert Hyundai repair service in Dubai?
I’ve got a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe that’s been running perfectly until last week when I got an oil change at a quick lube place, and now there’s this weird ticking noise coming from the top of the engine when it’s warm. I’ve read online that the Theta II engines can have timing chain issues or problems with the high pressure fuel pump, but I’m not a mechanic and I don’t want to guess. I really need to find an Expert Hyundai Repair Service Dubai that knows these GDI engines inside out and can tell me if it’s just a noisy injector or something more serious like a failing lifter. Has anyone here dealt with a similar ticking sound that turned out to be harmless, or should I be worried? I’m in Al Nahda but willing to drive anywhere for a shop that actually has experience with Hyundais and won’t just tell me it needs a rebuild. Would love a recommendation from someone who’s owned a Santa Fe or Tucson long term.
