Used Hyundai Getz Radiator

The Hyundai Getz ran as a single generation from 2002 to 2009 in the UK, with a facelift arriving in 2005 that brought revised front-end styling. Because the radiator sits behind that front end, there can be differences in mounting points and ancillary connections between pre-facelift (2002–2005) and post-facelift (2005–2009) cars, so always confirm with the breaker against your registration before assuming a direct swap.

Your 2004 car is pre-facelift and your 2006 is post-facelift, and that 2005 facelift is exactly the kind of production boundary where mounting and connection details can change on a radiator. Engine code is the most important thing to match here — check your V5 or run a VIN check to get it — but even with a matching engine code, confirm with the breaker that the unit came from the same facelift phase as your car.

Engine code matters above everything else for a mechanical part like a radiator, because Hyundai fitted the Getz with several different engines — including 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 petrol units as well as a 1.5 diesel — and the cooling capacity and connection layout differs between them. The year alone is not reliable enough, especially around the 2005 facelift where running changes also occurred. Your engine code is printed on your V5 logbook or available via a VIN check, and it is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker.

No — body style does not affect radiator fitment on the Getz. The radiator is determined by engine code, fuel type, and where in the production run your car sits, not by how many doors it has. You can safely ignore body style when searching, but do confirm the engine code and facelift phase with the breaker.

Trim level does not affect radiator fitment on the Getz — the radiator follows the engine, not the badge. An S and a GSi with the same engine code will use the same radiator, so do not worry if the breaker's unit came from a different spec car to yours. The only cosmetic difference you might notice is that trim-specific front grilles or bumper trims look different, but the radiator itself behind them is the same unit.

The 1.5 CRDi diesel Getz was less common in the UK than the petrol variants, so there are fewer of these cars being broken at any one time, and matching radiators can take a little longer to source. Make sure you quote your exact engine code to the breaker, as the diesel cooling setup differs from the petrol cars and the parts are not interchangeable. Findapart will send your request to multiple breakers simultaneously, which improves your chances of tracking one down quickly.
