OEM Part Number: 25310B9150 (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket radiators Nissens 606399 / NRF 59262

Accuracy note: Covers the Hyundai i10 (2014-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Radiators are sold by engine, gearbox and air-conditioning fitment, and one model usually has two or three different cores — a thicker core for diesels and automatics, a thinner one for small petrols — with different hose positions, so a radiator for the wrong engine will not connect up. The references below are UK aftermarket listings whose fitment lists name this generation, labelled by brand with the core size in mm; genuine numbers are those quoted against the listing. Check your engine code and whether the car has air conditioning against your VIN, and replace the coolant and bleed the system after fitting.

Radiators (aftermarket)	Nissens 606399 (420 x 366 x 22 mm, aluminium soldered core, plastic tanks, 1.0 G3LA 67 PS and 1.2 G4LA 87 PS); NRF 59262; Hella 8MK 366 303-711; Ava HY2589; AKS Dasis 560121N; Kamoka 7700252.
Core sizes & variants	Both petrol engines in the second-generation i10 share one radiator. The Nissens unit is listed with an integral oil cooler and a filler cap, so it suits automatic as well as manual cars.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	25310B9150
Fitment notes	Supplied with seals and a sealing cap; inlet and outlet are both 33 mm.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: automatic gearbox i10s typically need a radiator with a built-in transmission oil cooler that manual versions don't have — ordering the manual-spec part for an automatic car will fit, but won't cool the gearbox oil properly.

A Genuinely Useful Diagnostic Detail Worth Knowing — Hyundai i10 Radiator

If you're trying to pin down exactly where a coolant leak is coming from, this is genuinely worth knowing: a leak specifically from the small weep hole in the engine block near the A/C compressor points toward a failing water pump seal rather than a more general leak elsewhere.

A genuinely honest point worth knowing even after a recent water pump replacement: if a leak returns despite a relatively recent replacement, internal seals or bearings within even a new pump can occasionally be compromised, or the pump can be damaged by an unrelated issue. It's worth checking the timing belt tensioner and pulleys for wear at the same time, since improper belt tension can itself damage an otherwise sound water pump.

It's also worth knowing that the thermostat housing sits toward the front of the engine, higher up than where normal AC condensation would appear — worth checking this specific area if you're unsure whether water underneath the car is genuine coolant or harmless condensation.

Unglamorous as it is, the Hyundai i10's cooling system sits behind nearly every serious engine failure that isn't just ordinary wear — and one that went unaddressed for too long. Noticing early warning signs here is a small cost against a potentially very large one.

Before you buy: radiator size and design vary significantly by engine size, transmission type, and whether your car has air conditioning. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Hyundai i10 Radiator: What It Does

On the Hyundai i10, engine coolant sheds its heat into the passing air via the radiator, which is what keeps engine temperature in a safe working range. On automatics, it frequently pulls double duty cooling the transmission fluid through its own internal circuit — a detail that makes getting the exact part number right especially important.
