Hyundai Tiburon Cooling Fans
Cooling Fans for the Hyundai Tiburon — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Tiburon you are running
What Are Hyundai Tiburon Cooling Fans?
The cooling fan pulls air through your Hyundai's radiator when road speed alone isn't enough — crawling in Joburg traffic, idling at a drive-through, or sitting through load-shedding at a boom gate. Getz, i20, Accent, Tucson and Creta all use electric fans controlled by ECU and resistor modules.
Signs You Need New Cooling Fans
Tiburon generations and cooling fans — the short version
Does one cooling fans listing cover every Tiburon?
No. The Tiburon reached South Africa as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, and that alone changes what fits.The coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period.
Which engine is in my Tiburon?
SA-market cars were sold with Beta II 2.0 and Delta 2.7 V6. The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote cooling fans?
Petrol or diesel, and whether the car has air conditioning. 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.
In South Africa the Tiburon is mostly an enthusiast car with an active owner community, where the split between shared mechanical parts and unique body parts defines what is easy to find. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Tiburon Cooling Fans FAQs
Will cooling fans from another Tiburon fit mine?
Not automatically. The Tiburon sold in South Africa as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, and the coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period. 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 Tiburon cooling fans?
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 Tiburon ran as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai cooling fan cost in South Africa?
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.
Why is my Hyundai cooling fan not working?
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.
Why does my Hyundai cooling fan stay on after the engine is off?
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.
What causes a Hyundai to overheat when the fan is working?
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.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai radiator fan?
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.
