Hyundai Mighty Cooling Fans

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.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Mighty specifically, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
