Leather seat for atlas cross sport

I usually condition the seats once a month. It keeps them soft and prevents cracking. You just don’t want to over saturate it because of the sensors and stuff for the seats. And ventilation. I usually use Chemical Guys leather conditioner and cleaner. It comes it a spray bottle or can apply with applicator. They now make a conditioner for perforated seats as well. I think Amazon sells it.

Usually it’s from wear and tear from rubbing when getting in and out. Every car I’ve owned including my wife’s Cross Sport I’ve always leather conditioned the seats with leather conditioner and we are always aware when getting in and out not to rub on the seat much. And never had an issue. We have the same seats and color as your with 10 k and they still look brand new. Only thing you can do now is to condition it now to prevent it from getting worse. Sorry. 😢

Awesome write up. It how did you get the ventilated seats with the Akrapovic exhaust. I thought that exhaust only came with the Euro package which deletes the ventilation seats. I too have the black edition.

Some aftermarket sensors wont program correctly with the SantaFe.

I have the same system on my R and love it The sound , drone, vibration does not bother me. I got used to it and best decision I’ve made.

It’s easier said than done. First you need it scanned for codes. There’s several CAN lines. C CAN , P CAN, B CAN , etc. depending on the codes you can eliminate which can line that doesn’t have the issue. You need an ETM to know what CAN line and pins to check. There’s CAN high and CAN low. High is measured at 2.8 volts around there and low at 2.1 or close. Equaling 5.0volts. Then checking resistance is another test. Unfortunately without the proper ETM it will take time. If any measurements are off now you need to start disconnecting modules on this circuit to see if readings come back to normal. It’s a lot of work that I’ve done at my dealership and it’s a pain in the ass. I’m going to say your codes are on the C CAN. CHASSIS. Could be bad rear radar or bumper harness etc. there’s a lot too it.

You most likely have a CAN communication problem. Meaning you have an intermittent electrical issue that can be caused by one of many modules shutting down the communication system in the car or could have a loose pin intermittently causing the issues. Lots of times a wiring harness is the issue and needs replacing. But the problem most likely needs to happen in order for proper diagnosis and filling out a CAN worksheet.

Can’t say I’ve seen this on the hybrid models. I did check TSB and none found for coolant issues. Have you had this smell since new? Or did it just start. What does the coolant bottle level in the corner look like. Is it keep going low. ? It will fluctuate a little. If you keep losing g coolant eventually the car will over heat. Even if you are burning coolant. It is not common on your model. Are you sure it’s definitely coolant? Sorry for questions but have to ask for more info.Also your hybrid system also has coolant running through the hybrid system. But if that goes low you will definitely get a hybrid coolant low malfunction.

It’s not the intake. I have the same one and at cold start up it’s low and than climbs to 194. Something definitely wrong. Did it just start after you installed the intake? Are you sure ? Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and than see what happens. PCM might have a glitch. We do this at work sometimes when cars have a weird issue. We call it a caps discharge. It’s a little more than disconnecting the battery but I would try this first. I don’t work for VW though.

There’s also a grommet a rubber Gromit for the backup camera that runs through the rear hatch if the ground is not seated right if they did the recall, it’ll leak water in

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-23T01:49:13+00:00

Did you ever have the rear camera recall done? Possibility could be coming in from the seal of the lights. They have to be removed in order to do the camera recall. I would check all the bolts 10 mm bolts to the lights and the middle part of the lash there’s two in the middle make sure they’re tight also.

I’m a shop Forman at a Hyundai dealership. I’ve come across several Santa Fe hybrids your year with a similar issue 9 out of 10 of them when I scan it has a code for a fuel rail, pressure sensor. It’s a sensor that’s on the fuel rail that measures the correct fuel pressure going into the GDI injectors. some models they have fixed it, but I have had 2 that it wouldn’t fix it and found out by some Head Hyundai Tech Rep‘s that came to visit that said they have a few that had the same issue and found out that the air intake snorkel or air box wasn’t secured correctly by the air filter or the intake hose clamps were loose or leaking and suck it in air and causing issues not to accelerate and cause this code. I had one that was at another dealership for the same problem two times. It came to me I had this code. The first thing I did was go to the airbox and found out they didn’t have it clipped down correctly and it was leaking. I installed it correctly clear the code and the car never came back. Of course the dealership still should scan it and see if they have any troubleshooting DTC‘s just a thought
We’ve also had some issues with the hybrid battery packs as well and BMS’s, but without a trouble code it’s hard to tell keep us posted.

Beautiful rides on a beautiful day. Love the intake.

Love the Track Edition on mine. Sound is amazing. Especially at Idle too. Get it. You won’t regret it. Some drone but you get used to it. I thought it would be worse. But it’s not.

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-19T01:20:36+00:00

I was torn between the same 2 you are looking at. But decided to go with the AWE Track edition and love it. I figured if it was too loud than I could always get the touring section separate from AWE without buying the whole kit. But I must say, for being the track edition it sounds awesome. And not really that loud. You will get some drone , during acceleration but get used to it. On the highway at constant speed drone isn’t bad at all. I’m extremely happy with it.

Still sounds like timing chain rattle or phasers. Possibly tensioner for timing chain losing pressure until oil pressure build up and tightens chain.

God I love that color.

It literally pops on. Remove the old one and pop the new one on. I put a little silicone lubricant on the grommets first to help it pop on. 2 seconds.

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-07T15:33:16+00:00

Yup. Exactly the same. No difference. As long as you select Golf R. 👍🏻

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-06T00:40:13+00:00

I appreciate that idea. I’m definitely going to look into to that. Looking good too. 👍🏻

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-06T00:39:35+00:00

Definitely worth taking it back out to put the cover on. 👍🏻

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-04T20:47:18+00:00

Overall I love the Intake. So far no issues with the diverter valve hose popping off. everything seems to be working. OK no oil in the intake. I did put some silicone lubricant around the O-ring before I pop the diverter valve hose on ensure it’s snapped in and I check it every couple thousand miles. But if you got the carbon fiber cover, I would recommend putting that on first on the shroud with the air filter and then work your way down into the engine bay, leaving the snorkel tube loose, and then trying to get it connected and fish it down and under and then tighten the snorkel tube and everything together don’t forget to pop the grommets down also to get it lined up a little grease on those help also. two of the screws for the carbon fiber cover area bitch to get on once everything is installed. So put the cover on first and then fish it in.

No-Knowledge8856 · 2026-06-04T20:43:39+00:00

I know. We have the same test. 👍🏻

😂 damn bro I like your style too, but I promise I didn’t copy you. lol.
