I also have a 2005 Santa Fe 2.0L CRTD with a single mass flywheel, and have noticed the clutch has been slipping occasionally, but more so when towing or going uphill. I have just had the clutch replaced at 90,000 miles with another Valeo clutch, but found there was very little wear to the old clutch plates, but high spots on the pressure plate and evidence of clutch slip and overheating. The clutch was last replaced 75000 miles ago by the previous owner, having only done 15000 miles from new. I hope this is now going to be the end of the problem, as I only tow a small caravan anyway.

Hi, I have a 2002 Santa Fe TD.

The clutch slips now and then under power. I think it's going as the clutch is right on the top of pedal. Well I think it always was? Did you replace the flywheel, and how much and where did you get the clutch kit? How many hours to replace it?

Thanks, Martin.
