Hyundai i10 Power Steering Pump Replacement Parts

Most Hyundai i10 models do not have a hydraulic power steering pump at all — from the second generation (2013 onwards) the i10 uses electric power steering (EPS), which has no pump, no fluid, and no belt-driven hydraulic components. The first generation i10 (2007–2013) did use hydraulic power steering on some variants, so a pump does exist for those earlier cars. If your i10 is a 2013 or newer model and you are experiencing steering problems, the fault will lie in the electric motor, steering column, or control module rather than any pump.

Both the 2010 and 2012 i10 fall within the first generation (2007–2013), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but engine size can affect which pump was fitted — the 1.0 and 1.2 petrol engines were both offered across this generation. Tell the breaker your exact registration and engine code so they can match the pump correctly, as cross-engine fitment is not guaranteed.

Yes, it can — different engine variants within the first-generation i10 (2007–2013) may use different pumps, so a pump from a 1.0-litre car is not necessarily the same part as one from a 1.2-litre car. Always give the breaker your registration number and engine code to confirm you are getting the correct unit. Fitting the wrong pump can result in incorrect pressure and poor steering feel.

No, trim level does not affect which power steering pump is fitted — Classic, Comfort, Style, and other first-generation trims all share the same running gear for a given engine size. What matters is your engine size (1.0 or 1.2), so focus on matching that rather than the trim name. Be aware the breaker's donor car may be a different trim to yours, but that makes no difference to pump fitment.

2013 is right on the boundary between the first generation (which used hydraulic power steering) and the second generation (which uses fully electric power steering), so you need to check carefully which generation your specific car is. The second-generation i10 launched in late 2013 in the UK, but some first-generation cars were still sold new into 2013. Check your registration against the breaker or a parts supplier to confirm your generation before ordering any pump.

A 2016 i10 is a second-generation model (2013 onwards) and uses electric power steering, meaning there is no hydraulic pump to find — none was ever fitted to these cars. If you are losing power assistance, the fault is most likely in the EPS motor, the steering column assembly, or a related sensor or control unit. A breaker can supply a second-generation i10 steering column or EPS motor if needed, which is the equivalent part to look for.
