Hyundai Sonata Spares
The Hyundai Sonata has been Hyundai's D-segment flagship sedan in SA across five generations (Y3 through LF). The NF and YF used the Theta and Theta II four-cylinder engines, with the Mu 2.7 V6 in top NF trims. Ask us for a quote on Sonata Theta II engines, 6-speed automatics, front bumpers, tail lights and Mu 2.7 V6 engines.

Hyundai Sonata Spares — What We Can Quote On
We can quote on Hyundai Sonata spares across all five SA-market generations — NF, YF and LF, plus older Y3 and EF units subject to donor availability. Send your VIN and engine code and we will confirm availability and send a quote.
The Sonata is Hyundai's D-segment executive sedan. The NF (2005-2010) introduced the first Theta family; the YF (2010-2014) brought Theta II powerplants (with the G4KJ 2.4 GDI recall caveat — check your VIN against Hyundai's recall list); and the LF (2015-2019) switched to Nu engines before the model was withdrawn from local sale. Theta II 2.4 (G4KE MPI), Theta 2.0/2.4 (G4KA/G4KC) and Nu 2.0/2.4 engines are all available on request, along with 6-speed automatics and front-end body sections.
A well-known Sonata issue is the engine knock on 2011-onward YF cars fitted with the Theta II 2.4 (G4KJ). The fault sits in Hyundai's global Theta II recall territory and presents as a deep metallic knock that worsens under load — frequently traced to debris in the oil galleries causing rod-bearing failure. For owners outside warranty, a sound used Theta II 2.4 long block is often the most practical fix. Ask us for a quote on one, or on Mu 2.7 V6 engines for NF V6 buyers and Nu 2.0 / 2.4 units for the LF.
The Sonata was priced and trimmed to compete with the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord of the same period. Ask us for a quote on interior trim, seats, infotainment head units and steering racks. Where possible we'll match the donor year and trim level to your own car — particularly important on the YF where the GLS, Elite and Executive trims used different alloy wheels, cluster designs and audio systems.

Symptom: Deep metallic knock under load on 2011-onward YF cars with the Theta II 2.4 (G4KJ) — rod-bearing failure from debris in oil galleries. Frequently causes engine seizure.

A6MF1 6-Speed Solenoid Pack & Torque Converter
Symptom: Torque-converter shudder, slipping or harsh shifts on high-mileage NF and YF Sonatas with the A6MF1 6-speed automatic — caused by neglected fluid changes.

Mu 2.7 V6 VVT Solenoid & Coil Pack Failure
Symptom: Rough idle, hesitation and check-engine light on NF V6 Sonatas — variable valve timing solenoids and ignition coil packs are the most common culprits.
Fix: Ask us for a quote on used VVT solenoids and individual coil packs. Water pump and oxygen sensor replacements also common on high-km V6 units.From R1,800
