Hyundai H1 Spares

We can quote on Hyundai H1 spares across both generations — the first-gen Starex (A1, 1997-2007) and the second-gen TQ (2007-present), sold locally as the H1, iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex depending on body and trim. The TQ is widely used as a shuttle vehicle by guest houses, schools, church transport groups, tour operators and large families. Ask us about D4CB 2.5 CRDi engines, 5-speed automatics and sliding-door mechanisms. Quote us your VIN and body style and we will confirm availability and send a quote.

D4CB diesel and G4KG petrol

Two engines power the SA-market TQ H1. The D4CB 2.5 CRDi diesel is common-rail and turbocharged, and it powers iLoad panel vans, iMax buses and Grand Starex 9-seaters alike. The G4KG 2.4 Theta petrol is the other option. We can quote on both engines. Common D4CB issues — injector wear, turbo actuator failure, EGR coking — are typical of high-mileage common-rail diesels. See engine options on our Hyundai engine catalogue. When the turbo is the only failed component, our CRDi turbo stock lists turbo options — a smaller job than an engine swap.

The TQ's transmission is the 5-speed A5GF1 automatic on most automatic-spec H1s and a 6-speed manual M6GF1 on the rest. The auto box is robust if serviced properly but neglected fluid changes cause torque-converter shudder and eventual valve-body wear — ask us for a quote on a used unit. Our used Hyundai gearbox stock covers both fitments.

Sliding door mechanisms on the H1 — the rail, rollers and the inside latch assembly — wear hard, and it is easy to understand why: a shuttle vehicle that takes ten passengers a day for years on end opens and closes that door hundreds of thousands of times. Replacing the rail and roller set rather than the whole door is usually the right answer. We can also quote on front bumpers (low-speed parking damage in shuttle work is common), headlight assemblies, side mirror units, the windscreen surround, interior trim, captain's chairs, rear bench seats and seat belts from donor units. See our body parts page.

H1 owners range from shuttle and church-transport operators keeping a single vehicle on the road, to small fleets running a few iLoads and iMaxes, to families with a Grand Starex 9-seater. Ask us for a quote on parts such as the AC compressor, the alternator and the starter motor.

One H1-specific buying note. The original Starex A1 (1997-2007) and the current TQ (2007 onwards) share almost nothing beyond the name. Engines, transmissions, doors, bumpers, dashboard, interior trim — all are platform-specific. When you enquire it really helps to give us the year and either the VIN or whether your vehicle is the older squarer body or the current curved-flank shape. Older Starex parts are getting harder to find, so ask us early.
