Hyundai Solaris Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

Engine Finders connects UK drivers with specialists for reliable, reconditioned Hyundai Solaris replacement engines. Whether battling Gamma CVVT failures across early AD platform petrol variants or Theta engine oil consumption issues in later AK generation models, we provide direct OEM-spec solutions.

Hyundai Solaris Replacement Engines

The Hyundai Solaris evolved through two critical generations: AD platform (2010-2017) with Gamma 1.4/1.6 petrol engines, and AK platform (2017-present) introducing updated Gamma and Theta diesel variants. All Gamma 1.4/1.6 engines (AD/AK) suffered CVVT actuator failures addressed in Hyundai Service Bulletin 18-20-001, while AK generation Theta diesels share oil consumption issues due to design similarities. The AK platform adopted improved cooling systems but inherited timing chain vulnerabilities from predecessors, affecting all trim levels regardless of power output.

Hyundai Solaris Models & Engines Codes

Solaris engines are categorized by platform generation with shared failure patterns across all trim levels within each generation.

  • Gamma 1.4L (G4FA): AD/AK platforms (2010-present) - CVVT actuator (90915-2F000) failure across all variants
  • Gamma 1.6L (G4FC): AD/AK platforms (2010-present) - Timing chain tensioner issues affecting all power outputs
  • Theta 1.6L Diesel (G4FD): AK platform (2017-present) - Oil consumption and EGR cooler problems in all models
  • Gamma 1.4T (G4LD): AK platform (2017-present) - Turbocharger and intercooler issues affecting all trims

All AD platform Solaris models share identical engine mounting configurations, while AK generation introduced revised mounting points for improved NVH characteristics.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Hyundai Solaris Engines

For Solaris owners: Used engines carry high risk due to shared Gamma CVVT failure patterns. Reconditioned units with updated actuator components (90915-2F000) are essential for AD/AK platform petrol variants. Remanufactured engines with upgraded timing components are recommended for all Gamma 1.4/1.6 engines regardless of trim level.

  • Used engines: High risk due to shared failure patterns across all Solaris variants
  • Reconditioned engines: Updated CVVT components for Gamma petrol variants
  • Rebuilt engines: Complete overhaul with OEM-spec timing and valve train components
  • New engines: Factory-fresh units with latest design improvements
