Hyundai i20 Cooling Fans
Cooling Fans for the Hyundai i20 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i20 you are running
What Are Hyundai i20 Cooling Fans?
The cooling fan pulls air through your Hyundai's radiator when road speed alone isn't enough — crawling in Joburg traffic, idling at a drive-through, or sitting through load-shedding at a boom gate. Getz, i20, Accent, Tucson and Creta all use electric fans controlled by ECU and resistor modules.
Signs You Need New Cooling Fans
i20 generations and cooling fans — the short version
Ordering cooling fans for a i20 starts with the generation: PB, then GB, then the current BC3.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market i20:
Air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned Hyundais take different radiators and fan assemblies, and the CRDi diesels add intercooler plumbing that the petrol cars simply do not have.
Send us petrol or diesel, and whether the car has air conditioning with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct cooling fans against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i20 Cooling Fans FAQs
Will cooling fans from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about i20 cooling fans?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The i20 ran as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai cooling fan cost in South Africa?
Real SA pricing — a Hyundai Getz radiator fan (1999-2005) runs around R1,380, with Getz fan sets covering 1992-2020 in our supplier network. Labour is typically one to two hours for a front-clip replacement. Send your VIN for an exact-fit quote.
Why is my Hyundai cooling fan not working?
Most often a blown fan resistor or faulty relay — both cheap fixes. Hyundai Forums logs this as a classic Getz, i20 and Accent fault. Less commonly it's the fan motor itself or the ECU's temperature sensor input. Scan tool plus resistor test pins it down fast.
Why does my Hyundai cooling fan stay on after the engine is off?
Normal for 5-10 minutes on a hot engine — the fan cools the block to prevent coolant boil. Beyond that, a stuck relay or failed thermal switch is to blame. Hyundai Forums documents this across Getz/i20/Accent models.
What causes a Hyundai to overheat when the fan is working?
Thermostat stuck closed, blocked radiator core, failing water pump, or air in the system from a cracked expansion tank. The fan is only part of the story — if coolant isn't circulating, no amount of airflow will help. Pressure-test and scan for thermostat codes.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai radiator fan?
Parts: budget aftermarket from around R1,380 for a Getz fan up to OEM pricing for Creta and Sonata dual-fan assemblies. Labour is one to two hours. We source fans and fan assemblies nationally through our SA supplier network. Ask for a VIN-matched quote.
