Hyundai Veloster Rocker Arms

Not automatically. The Veloster sold in South Africa as FS, then JS, and the asymmetric three-door layout means the left and right sides are genuinely not mirror images — door, glass and trim parts must be ordered by side. 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 Veloster specifically, the asymmetric three-door layout means the left and right sides are genuinely not mirror images — door, glass and trim parts must be ordered by side.

Almost always a collapsed hydraulic lash adjuster not holding oil pressure, usually because oil level is low or the oil is past its service interval. On 1.6 T-GDi engines we see worn follower pads too — often a sign of neglected servicing rather than a design fault.

Parts and labour depend on the engine — a full rocker set swap on a 1.6 T-GDi is a much bigger job than a single ticking adjuster on a 1.4 petrol. Request a free quote through our form with your engine code for an accurate parts and fitting estimate.

Hyundai Getz 1.4 rocker arms run from around R150 to R250 depending on condition through our supplier network. A full set for the engine works out cheaper per unit. Send us your engine code and we'll match OEM-equivalent parts rather than generic aftermarket.

Persistent ticking from the top of the engine, rough idle, loss of power and sometimes a misfire code on a specific cylinder. Pull the rocker cover and you'll often see one rocker sitting at a different height or with a polished groove on its pad.

Yes and it's the most common root cause. Hydraulic adjusters need oil pressure to maintain valve clearance — without it they collapse and the rocker hammers the valve. Check level weekly and change oil every 10,000km with the correct Hyundai-spec grade.
