Hyundai Mighty Coolant Reservoirs
Coolant Reservoirs for the Hyundai Mighty — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Mighty you are running
What Are Hyundai Mighty 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
Getting the right coolant reservoirs for your Mighty first time
Ordering coolant reservoirs for a Mighty starts with the generation: the SA-market light-truck range including the EX8.These are chassis-cab trucks bodied after sale, so the cab and driveline come from Hyundai while the load body usually does not — tell us which of the two the part belongs to.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Mighty:
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 coolant reservoirs against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Mighty is mostly distribution and delivery work where downtime is lost income, so demand is overwhelmingly for driveline, clutch and braking parts. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Mighty Coolant Reservoirs FAQs
Will coolant reservoirs from another Mighty fit mine?
Not automatically. The Mighty sold in South Africa as the SA-market light-truck range including the EX8, and these are chassis-cab trucks bodied after sale, so the cab and driveline come from Hyundai while the load body usually does not — tell us which of the two the part belongs to. 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 Mighty coolant reservoirs?
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 Mighty ran as the SA-market light-truck range including the EX8, so the generation is what narrows the search.
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.
