Hyundai ix35 Ignition Coils
We source ignition coils for every ix35 generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai ix35 Ignition Coils?
Ignition coils step low-voltage battery power up to the tens of thousands of volts that fire the spark plugs. On Hyundai Getz, i20 and Accent petrols we see the coil packs crack, short to earth and trigger misfires around the 90,000-120,000km mark.

ix35 Ignition Coils: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
Ordering ignition coils for a ix35 starts with the generation: LM.
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.
Worth knowing: the ix35mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL.
What we check on ignition coils
- •The generation code, because ix35 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this ix35 was sold with Theta II 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi
- •The VIN, and the fault code if the car has been scanned
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
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.
ix35 Ignition Coils: Common Questions
Will ignition coils 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.
Can you source ignition coils for the ix35 if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The ix35 mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
How much does a Hyundai ignition coil cost in South Africa?
Single coils run R300-R2,400 through our SA supplier network. A full set of four on an i20 or Accent lands under R3,000 for most OEM-spec aftermarket kits.
What are the symptoms of a bad ignition coil in a Hyundai?
A rough idle, engine warning light and misfire codes on one cylinder are the giveaways. The engine feels like it is tripping over itself at low revs and smooths out on the open road. Fuel use climbs.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai ignition coil?
Budget R500-R2,600 fitted per coil at an SA indie, parts and labour included. Replacing all four on a 1.6 MPi costs R2,350-R4,950 with plugs, which we always recommend doing at the same time.
Can I drive with a faulty ignition coil?
Only to the nearest workshop. A dead coil dumps raw petrol into the catalytic converter, which destroys it within a few hundred kilometres. That turns a R600 coil into a R15,000 cat replacement.
How long do Hyundai ignition coils last?
OEM coils on Getz, i20 and Accent petrols typically last 90,000-120,000km. High-mileage, short-trip cars or those running old spark plugs fail earlier. Always fit plugs and coils as a matched set to avoid premature failure.
