Used Hyundai Ioniq Radiator Fan

It depends on the variant. The Ioniq was sold in three drivetrain layouts in the UK: hybrid (petrol-electric), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric (EV). The fully electric Ioniq does not have a conventional combustion engine and therefore does not have a traditional engine-cooling radiator fan in the way a petrol or diesel car does; it uses a different thermal management system. If you have a hybrid or plug-in hybrid Ioniq, a radiator fan does exist as part of the cooling system, so read on — if you have the full EV, speak to a breaker about what cooling components your specific car actually uses.

The petrol-hybrid (using the G4LE 1.6 Atkinson-cycle engine) and the plug-in hybrid both have a conventional cooling circuit and a radiator fan. The pure electric Ioniq (AE EV) does not use a combustion engine and has no traditional radiator fan, so this part simply does not apply to that variant. Always confirm your drivetrain from your V5 or a VIN check before ordering, as all three versions look very similar from the outside.

The Ioniq (internal code AE) ran as a single generation from 2016 through to around 2022 in the UK, with a facelift arriving for the 2019 model year. Both the pre-facelift (2016–2018) and post-facelift (2019 onwards) hybrid models share the same G4LE 1.6 engine code, which is the primary driver of radiator fan compatibility. However, ancillary and mounting changes can occur around a facelift even when the engine carries over, so while there is a good chance of compatibility, you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect radiator fan fitment on the Ioniq — the fan is determined by the engine and drivetrain, not by whether the car is SE, Premium, or Premium SE. All hybrid Ioniq trims share the same G4LE engine, so the cooling system components are the same across the range. You may find minor cosmetic or bracket differences on a part pulled from a different trim car, so mention your trim to the breaker just in case, but trim alone is not a compatibility concern here.

The most important detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5C logbook or via a VIN check — for the hybrid Ioniq this should be G4LE. Also tell the breaker your fuel type (hybrid or PHEV), your model year, and your registration, as they can run a parts lookup against it. Gearbox type (the Ioniq hybrid uses a six-speed dual-clutch automatic) can also be relevant, so include that if you know it. The more detail you supply upfront, the quicker the breaker can confirm the part is a match before you commit.

Both the hybrid and PHEV Ioniq use the same G4LE 1.6 Atkinson-cycle petrol engine, so the core radiator fan unit may well be shared. However, the PHEV has additional battery cooling requirements which could mean differences in the wider cooling fan assembly or ancillary brackets compared to the standard hybrid. Confirm with the breaker by giving them your registration and engine code, as they will be able to check whether the specific part number from their PHEV donor car matches what your hybrid needs.
