Choosing the right used Alfa Romeo 4C timing chain
Used timing chains vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Alfa Romeo 4C actually have a timing chain?
Yes, the Alfa Romeo 4C is fitted with a timing chain rather than a timing belt — the 1750cc turbocharged four-cylinder engine (engine code 960A1.000) uses a chain-driven valvetrain, so there is no scheduled belt replacement interval. This means a used timing chain is a legitimate part to source from a breaker for this model.
Will a timing chain from an earlier 4C fit a later one — does the year matter?
The Alfa Romeo 4C was produced from 2013 to 2020 in a single generation with no fundamental engine architecture change across that run, so the 960A1.000 engine remained consistent throughout. That said, there can be ancillary or mounting detail changes mid-production that are not always well-documented, so confirm with the breaker that the chain and associated components match your specific registration before buying.
Does the trim level affect which timing chain I need — does it matter if I have a standard 4C or a 4C Spider?
Trim level and body style make no difference to the timing chain — both the coupe and Spider variants used the same 1750cc turbocharged engine, so the chain itself is the same part. What matters is the engine code, which you can confirm from your V5 or a VIN check, and that is the detail your breaker will need from you.
I've found a timing chain from a 4C with a different gearbox — does the gearbox type affect fitment?
The timing chain is internal to the engine and is not affected by whether the car had the TCT dual-clutch automatic or any other gearbox variant. As long as the engine code matches your own, the gearbox type on the donor car is irrelevant for this part.
What details do I need to give the breaker when asking for an Alfa Romeo 4C timing chain?
The single most important detail is your engine code, which will be on your V5 logbook or available via a VIN check — for the 4C this should be 960A1.000, but confirming it directly avoids any ambiguity. You should also give the breaker your registration number so they can cross-reference the exact specification of your car against the donor vehicle.
Are there any 4C variants that don't have a timing chain at all?
No — the 4C was only ever sold with the one 1750cc turbocharged petrol engine, and that engine uses a timing chain throughout the entire production run from 2013 to 2020. There were no diesel, hybrid, or naturally aspirated petrol variants of the 4C, so every example will have had a timing chain fitted from the factory.
