A used radiator fan that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The i40 does have an electric radiator cooling fan, fitted across all variants of the model. It is an engine-driven fan you are thinking of that the i40 lacks — the cooling fan is electrically operated and mounted in front of the radiator. So yes, this is a genuine part to search for on a used basis.
The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation running from 2011 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2015, so a 2012 car is pre-facelift and a 2015 car sits right at the facelift boundary. Engine code and fuel type are the most important matching factors here, so if both cars share the same engine code the fan motor and shroud are likely compatible — but because ancillary components can change at a facelift point, you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Body style does not affect radiator fan fitment on the i40 — the fan assembly is determined by the engine, not whether the car is a saloon or Tourer estate. Give the breaker your engine code rather than your body style and you will get a more reliable match.
Yes — fuel type and engine code are the most important details for matching an i40 radiator fan, as diesel and petrol variants use different cooling setups and fan assemblies. The engine code is stamped on your V5C or can be found via a VIN check, and it is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker. Quoting just '1.7 diesel' is helpful but the full engine code removes any remaining ambiguity.
Trim level does not affect radiator fan fitment on the i40 — the fan is matched to the engine, not the equipment grade. Whether your car is an entry-level S, a mid-range Style, or a top-spec Premium SE, if the engine codes match the fan will be the same part. The only differences between trim levels relevant to a used-parts search are cosmetic ones like interior finish, which have no bearing on cooling components.
Gearbox type can influence cooling fan specification on some models because an automatic transmission generates additional heat, sometimes requiring a higher-capacity fan or an additional transmission cooler fan. It is worth telling the breaker whether your i40 is a manual or automatic when requesting a quote. To be certain the donor car matches your setup, ask the breaker to confirm against your full registration or engine code.
