Hyundai Getz Cylinder Head Replacement Parts

The engine code is the single most important detail for cylinder head fitment on the Getz — it determines which head you need far more reliably than the year or trim level. You'll find the engine code on your V5C logbook or via a VIN check. Always give this code to the breaker when requesting a quote, as two Getz models from the same year can carry different engines and incompatible heads.

The Hyundai Getz ran as a single generation from 2002 to 2011, with a facelift introduced in 2005 that brought styling and some specification changes. Whether a cylinder head crosses that 2005 facelift boundary safely depends on whether both cars share the same engine code — if the codes match, fitment is likely, but ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production, so confirm the specific interchange with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — petrol and diesel cylinder heads are entirely different components and are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Always confirm your fuel type with the breaker alongside your engine code to make sure you're quoted the correct head.

Trim level — whether your Getz is an S, GSi, or CDX — does not affect cylinder head fitment; what matters is the engine code, which can be shared across trim levels. A head from a GSi will fit an S or CDX if they carry the same engine code, though you may receive a head with different ancillary components attached depending on what the breaker has stripped. Confirm with the breaker that the core casting and engine code match your vehicle.

The cylinder head itself is attached to the engine block and is not directly determined by gearbox type, so in most cases a head from a manual car can fit an automatic provided the engine code matches. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration, as there can be subtle differences in ancillary components depending on the exact specification of the donor vehicle.

A cylinder head is a mechanical component and does not itself store ECU or immobiliser data, so in most straightforward cases this is not a concern the way it would be with an engine ECU. However, if any sensors or ancillary components attached to the used head need pairing or coding to your vehicle, confirm the specifics with the breaker and your fitting garage before purchasing, as this can vary by vehicle age and specification.
