Used Alfa Romeo 4C Camshaft

Yes, the 4C is fitted with a 1750cc turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine (engine code 960A1.000) that uses a twin-cam (DOHC) setup, so it has both an inlet and an exhaust camshaft. When searching, be clear with the breaker whether you need the inlet or exhaust camshaft, as these are separate components and not interchangeable with each other.

The Alfa Romeo 4C was produced from 2013 through to 2020, and while the model did not have a traditional facelift with a renamed generation, there were running production changes throughout its life. The engine code 960A1.000 remained consistent across the range, which is a good sign for compatibility, but ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production, so confirm fitment against your exact registration with the breaker before buying.

No, trim level makes no difference to camshaft fitment on the 4C — the mechanical engine specification was the same across all variants including the standard 4C and the 4C Spider. What matters is the engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check, and that should be the first thing you give to the breaker.

Body style — coupe or Spider — has no bearing on camshaft fitment, as both variants used the same 1750cc turbocharged engine with the same engine code. Confirm the engine code matches between the two vehicles and you can disregard the body style entirely when sourcing this part.

The turbocharger itself doesn't change the camshaft specification, but it does confirm you are dealing with the correct engine family; the 4C was only ever offered with the one 1750cc turbocharged petrol engine, so there are no naturally aspirated variants to worry about crossing into. As always, match the engine code from your V5C to the donor vehicle's code and let the breaker verify compatibility before committing.

A camshaft itself is a purely mechanical component and does not carry any coding or pairing to the vehicle's ECU, so immobiliser concerns that apply to parts like engine control units or key systems are not relevant here. That said, if the breaker is supplying the camshaft as part of a larger assembly including sensors or variable valve timing components, it is worth confirming with them whether any electronic elements in that assembly require coding to your vehicle.
