Hyundai i40 Parking Sensor Replacement Parts

Parking sensors were genuinely available on the Hyundai i40 (2011–2015), but only on higher specification trim levels — they were not standard across the whole range. If your i40 did not leave the factory with parking sensors, the wiring loom and bumper cut-outs may not be present, so confirm with the breaker whether your car was originally fitted before ordering.

The i40 ran as a single generation from 2011 to 2015 with a facelift around 2013–2014, and while the sensor units themselves are often the same part, the facelift did bring subtle bumper styling changes that can affect how sensors sit in their housings. Confirm with the breaker that the sensor and its grommet are from a matching bumper style to your registration, as a mismatch can cause poor fitment or an air gap even if the electrical connection works.

The electronic sensor unit itself is generally the same part regardless of trim level, so a sensor from a Style car will typically function identically to one from a Premium car. What can differ between trims is the colour-coded finish or the specific bumper aperture size, so check the colour code if you want a cosmetically clean result and confirm sensor diameter with the breaker.

Engine type has no bearing on parking sensor fitment — the sensors are mounted in the bumper and connect to the parking control module, which is entirely independent of the drivetrain. You can safely source a sensor from any i40 regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, as long as the bumper generation and number of sensors in the system match your car.

The i40 was typically fitted with four rear parking sensors, and some higher-spec variants also had front sensors, giving up to eight in total. It matters that you match the system your car has — if your car has a four-sensor rear-only setup, a sensor from an eight-sensor car will be the same unit but confirm the part number with the breaker to be certain they are interchangeable in your specific configuration.

Some Hyundai models from the same era share parking sensor part numbers, but this is not guaranteed and depends on sensor diameter, connector type, and frequency — fitment rules for parking sensors are spec-driven rather than model-driven. Give the breaker your i40's registration and ask them to cross-reference the part number before purchasing, as fitting an incompatible sensor can trigger fault codes or give inaccurate distance readings.
