Hyundai ix35 Coolant Reservoirs
Coolant Reservoirs to suit the Hyundai ix35, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai ix35 Coolant Reservoirs?
The coolant reservoir — also called the expansion tank — is the plastic bottle that holds overflow coolant as your Hyundai's engine heats and cools. Getz, i20, Accent, Tucson, Creta and Elantra all suffer hairline cracks in the tank neck or filler cap seat, especially on high-mileage SA cars.
Signs You Need New Coolant Reservoirs
What a parts desk needs to know about your ix35
On the ix35, LM are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.Because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not.
- 1
Find the generation code on your ix35 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The ix35 ran Theta II 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the coolant reservoirs 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 ix35mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the ix35 is mostly sold in big numbers as a mid-size family SUV and now firmly in the second- and third-owner phase, where turbo, injector and body-panel demand peaks. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai ix35 Coolant Reservoirs — Questions We Get Asked
Will coolant reservoirs from another ix35 fit mine?
Not automatically. The ix35 sold in South Africa as LM, and because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not. 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 ix35 come with?
SA-market cars ran Theta II 2.0, R-line 2.0 CRDi. 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 coolant reservoir cost?
SA retail is friendly — Getz expansion tanks are common stock and an aftermarket tank fitting Getz/i20/Accent/Elantra/Creta/Tucson runs around R707. Labour is one hour. Send your VIN for the exact part-number match.
What are the symptoms of a cracked coolant reservoir?
Slowly dropping coolant level, a sweet coolant smell after driving and white scale deposits around the tank seams. On Getz and i20 models the crack typically starts at the filler neck — look for a damp patch under pressure with the cap on.
Why does my Hyundai keep losing coolant?
A cracked expansion tank is the most common cause across Getz, i20 and Accent — well-documented on Hyundai Forums. Other suspects are a perished radiator cap, a weeping hose clamp or a head-gasket leak. Pressure-test the system to locate it.
Can I drive my Hyundai with a leaking coolant reservoir?
Only briefly and only with the level topped up. A leaking tank loses pressure, which drops the boiling point of the coolant and causes overheating. Overheating a 1.6 T-GDi or 2.0 CRDi can warp the head — far more expensive to fix than a new tank.
Where can I buy a Hyundai expansion tank in South Africa?
We source reservoirs nationally through our SA supplier network. Getz/i20/Accent tanks are common stock; Creta and Elantra units need ordering. Send us your VIN for a same-day quote.
Not sure which coolant reservoirs fits your ix35?
Send us your VIN or the engine code off the block and our Hyundai desk will cross-check the correct coolant reservoirs for your exact ix35 derivative.
