Hyundai H1 Radiator Hoses
Radiator Hoses to suit the Hyundai H1, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai H1 Radiator Hoses?
Radiator hoses are the rubber pipes that carry hot coolant between engine, radiator and expansion tank. On Hyundai i20 and Accent we see the top hose harden and crack at the thermostat housing and the plastic radiator pipe snap where the rubber hose clamps on.

H1 Radiator Hoses: what actually decides fitment
Sold here across the original Starex, then the TQ iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex, the H1 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.Panel van, bus and people-mover bodies on the same TQ base take different rear-end, glass and trim parts, so tell us the body style, not just the model.
- 1
Find the generation code on your H1 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The H1 ran 2.4 petrol on selected Grand Starex derivatives, D4CB 2.5 CRDi and 2.5 TD on the earlier Starex in this market.

Send both to us with the radiator hoses you are after , along with petrol or diesel, and whether the car has air conditioning. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the H1no Kia equivalent — the H1 is its own commercial platform — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the H1 is mostly shuttle, tour and staff-transport work, which means very high annual mileage and a strong bias towards diesel injection, turbo and clutch components. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai H1 Radiator Hoses — Questions We Get Asked
Will radiator hoses from another H1 fit mine?
Not automatically. The H1 sold in South Africa as the original Starex, then the TQ iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex, and panel van, bus and people-mover bodies on the same TQ base take different rear-end, glass and trim parts, so tell us the body style, not just the model. 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 H1 come with?
SA-market cars ran 2.4 petrol on selected Grand Starex derivatives, D4CB 2.5 CRDi, 2.5 TD on the earlier Starex. 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 radiator hose cost in South Africa?
Hyundai radiator hoses run R200-R950 depending on pattern, with hundreds of SKUs across our supplier network. Pro Hyundai Spares sources OEM hoses for Getz, i20, Accent and Creta.
What are the symptoms of a leaking Hyundai radiator hose?
Coolant puddles, steam under the bonnet, a sweet smell and a rising temperature needle are the main signs. A soft or bulging hose section on the engine usually betrays the leak before it bursts completely.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai radiator hose?
Fitted at an SA indie, budget R800-R2,450 including coolant, hose and an hour of labour. Top and bottom hoses together cost a little more. Always do a pressure test afterwards to confirm the system seals.
Can a burst radiator hose damage a Hyundai engine?
Absolutely. A blown hose dumps coolant in seconds. Driving even a kilometre warped the cylinder head on countless Hyundai 1.6 CRDi engines we have rebuilt. Pull over, call the AA and get it flatbedded to a workshop.
How long do Hyundai radiator hoses last?
OEM rubber hoses last 7-12 years on i20 and Accent engines in SA conditions. Heat cycles harden them from the inside. Replace hoses alongside any major cooling-system work. Plastic radiator outlets on i20 snap first and need watching.
