Hyundai Tucson Ignition Coils
Ignition Coils to suit the Hyundai Tucson, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai Tucson 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.
Signs You Need New Ignition Coils
Getting the right ignition coils for your Tucson first time
Ordering ignition coils for a Tucson starts with the generation: JM, LM, TL and NX4.The LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Tucson:
Coded and paired components — immobiliser-linked and body-control items in particular — will not simply plug in on a Hyundai. Some need matching to the car before they will function.
Send us the VIN, and the fault code if the car has been scanned with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct ignition coils against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Tucson is mostly the family SUV that does school runs during the week and gravel-road holiday mileage over December, a duty cycle that is hard on suspension and cooling components. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Tucson Ignition Coils — Questions We Get Asked
Will ignition coils from another Tucson fit mine?
Not automatically. The Tucson sold in South Africa as JM, LM, TL and NX4, and the LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Tucson come with?
SA-market cars ran Beta II 2.0 (JM), Theta II 2.0 (LM), Gamma 1.6 T-GDi (TL), Nu 2.0, R-line 2.0 CRDi (TL). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
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.
