Hyundai Getz Cylinder Heads
Cylinder Heads to suit the Hyundai Getz, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide. Find quality Hyundai Getz scrap yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai Getz Cylinder Heads?
The cylinder head sits on top of the engine block, housing the valves, camshafts and combustion chambers. On 1.6 CRDi, 1.6 T-GDi and 2.0 CRDi Hyundais the aluminium head is especially vulnerable to warping or cracking after overheats — an SA tow-strap incident or failed fan clutch is often the trigger.
Signs You Need New Cylinder Heads
Getz Cylinder Heads: what actually decides fitment
Sold here across TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), the Getz is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.The facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Getz — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Getz ran Alpha 1.3/1.4 and Alpha II 1.6 in this market.

Send both to us with the cylinder heads you are after , along with the engine code off the block or VIN plate, and whether the car is petrol or CRDi diesel. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Getzshares the Alpha engine family with the Accent LC and MC — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the Getz is mostly long out of production but still everywhere on South African roads, which makes the Getz a used-parts car first and a new-parts car second. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Getz Cylinder Heads — Questions We Get Asked
Will cylinder heads from another Getz fit mine?
Not automatically. The Getz sold in South Africa as TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), and the facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Getz come with?
SA-market cars ran Alpha 1.3/1.4, Alpha II 1.6. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
How much does a Hyundai cylinder head cost in South Africa?
Real SA pricing is wide — heads run R2,950 to R11,500 depending on engine and condition (new vs recon) and a Hyundai head gasket is around R945 through our supplier network. Send us your VIN and engine code for an exact quote.
What are the symptoms of a cracked cylinder head?
White smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss without visible leak, overheating, milky oil and bubbles in the expansion tank are the classic five. On 1.6 CRDi Hyundais, head cracks often follow an overheat. A combustion-gas test on the coolant confirms it.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai head gasket?
The gasket itself is affordable — a multi-fit Hyundai head gasket is around R945 through our supplier network. Labour is substantial, typically 8-12 hours including skimming the head and replacing bolts. Send your VIN for a full quote on parts and labour.
Can a cracked Hyundai cylinder head be repaired?
Sometimes — a small crack in a non-critical area can be stitched or welded by SA engineering specialists in our supplier network. Cracks between valve seats or into the water jacket usually mean replacement. We send heads out for pressure-test before quoting a repair.
Why is there white smoke from my Hyundai exhaust?
Almost always coolant entering the combustion chamber — head gasket, cracked head or cracked block. A sweet, sticky smell confirms it's coolant rather than water vapour. On cold SA mornings a short puff of white vapour is normal; persistent plume is not.
