Hyundai Santa FE 2018 R 2.2 CRDi Automatic engine D4HB
Engine reliability and common problems:
In 2009, Hyundai-Kia introduced a new generation of R-series diesel engines. The 2.2-liter version featured a cast-iron block, an aluminum 16-valve cylinder head with hydraulic lifters, and a Bosch CP4 Common Rail fuel system with 1800-bar piezo injectors. It used a dual-chain timing setup, with separate upper and lower chains. Boost was provided by a Garrett GTB1752VLK turbocharger with variable geometry.With proper maintenance, this engine is generally reliable. Its design is simple and robust, with no major inherent flaws. Most reported problems are the result of neglect—delayed maintenance or cost-cutting on oil and other critical consumables.
The engine delivers strong power with relatively low fuel consumption, but it is highly sensitive to diesel quality. When the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) fails, it can send metal shavings into the fuel system—a failure that typically appears around the 200,000 km mark.
Rattling, knocking, or rustling sounds from the timing chain area are often caused by a clogged hydraulic tensioner channel. This is usually due to poor-quality oil or long intervals between oil changes. While the chain itself can last 150,000–200,000 km, even when stretched, it rarely skips.
Other known issues include frequent glow plug relay failures and a relatively short lifespan of the crankshaft pulley. Additionally, a clogged pre-filter in the fuel tank can cause power loss, vibration, and jerky performance during driving.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.

| Camshaft drive | Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. More service info |
| Timing chain change interval | 200,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
| Fuel system | Common Rail Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair. |
