Hyundai Santa Fe Flywheel
Flywheel for the Hyundai Santa Fe — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Santa Fe you are running
What Are Hyundai Santa Fe Flywheel?
The flywheel stores rotational inertia from your Hyundai's engine and gives the clutch a surface to grip. Modern 1.6 CRDi and 2.0 CRDi diesels run dual-mass flywheels (DMFs) to smooth out the heavy diesel pulses — brilliant for refinement, painful for your wallet when they fail around 150,000 km.

Santa Fe Flywheel: what actually decides fitment
Ordering flywheel for a Santa Fe starts with the generation: SM, CM, DM and TM.Five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Santa Fe — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Santa Fe ran Delta 2.7 V6 (SM), 2.2 CRDi (CM) and R-line 2.2 CRDi (DM, TM) in this market.

Send both to us with the flywheel you are after , along with manual or automatic, the number of gears, and the engine it is bolted to. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Santa Fea platform relative of the Kia Sorento across several generations — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the Santa Fe is mostly the tow car of the range, so cooling, driveline and rear-suspension components carry loads the same parts never see on a lighter Hyundai. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Santa Fe Flywheel FAQs
Will flywheel from another Santa Fe fit mine?
Not automatically. The Santa Fe sold in South Africa as SM, CM, DM and TM, and five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration. 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 Santa Fe flywheel?
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 Santa Fe ran as SM, CM, DM and TM, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai dual mass flywheel cost in South Africa?
Real SA pricing — a Hyundai 2.0 CRDi DMF runs around R11,600, with SACHS and OEM-spec units stocked across our supplier network. Labour is substantial because the gearbox must drop. Send your VIN for a quote.
What are the symptoms of a failing dual mass flywheel?
Rattle from the bellhousing at idle that fades when you press the clutch, judder on take-up, vibration through the gear lever and metallic clank on shutdown. 1.6 CRDi and 2.0 CRDi engines in i20, Accent, Sonata and Creta are the usual suspects.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai flywheel?
Parts — around R11,600 for a 2.0 CRDi DMF. Add a matched clutch kit, a new thrust bearing and a new rear-main oil seal while the gearbox is out. Labour runs six to eight hours. It's a big job; always bundle clutch replacement with the flywheel.
Can a Hyundai dual mass flywheel be repaired?
No — DMFs are sealed units. The internal springs and dampers cannot be serviced. Solid-mass conversion kits are an aftermarket option on some CRDi models but add vibration. We usually recommend OEM-spec DMF replacement.
Should I replace my flywheel when changing the clutch?
If it's a DMF and over 150,000 km — yes, replace together. The labour is identical and a tired DMF will destroy a fresh clutch within months. For solid flywheels on older Getz or Accent petrols, just skim and reuse if the surface is clean.
Get your Santa Fe flywheel matched properly
A part number from the old unit, or simply your VIN, is enough for us to identify the right flywheel for your Santa Fe.
