I highly doubt the 2008 or 2009 santafe has a timing belt. Manufacturers have moved away from belts because they break and slip, and alot of angry customers.

I take that back I believe the 2.7L model has a belt, the 3.3L has a chain. Sorry for my mistake. If you do have a belt however between 96KM and 144KM. You should be safe within that range.

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that my 2008/2009 Santa Fe is CRDI 2.2. I was told by the agent that I need to change the timing belt around 60Km. So is it still applicable for me to change about 90Km?

Thanks levin91e

60K miles is usually recommended but in kilometers that would be about 95k kilometers.
