Fitment questions
Do Fiat 500s even have glow plugs?
Only diesel-engined Fiat 500s have glow plugs — these are the models fitted with the 1.3 Multijet engine. Petrol variants (including the popular 1.2 and 1.4 engines) use spark plugs instead, so if your 500 runs on petrol, glow plugs are not the part you need. If you're unsure which engine you have, check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the fuel type before searching.
Which Fiat 500 models have glow plugs — is it all of them?
No — only the 1.3 Multijet diesel variant of the Fiat 500 is fitted with glow plugs; this engine was available from the second-generation model launched in 2007 onwards. The vast majority of Fiat 500s sold in the UK were petrol-engined, so diesel examples are relatively uncommon. If your V5 confirms diesel fuel type and the 1.3 Multijet engine code, then glow plugs are the correct part to search for.
Will glow plugs from a 2010 Fiat 500 fit my 2015 Fiat 500?
Both years fall within the same second-generation Fiat 500 (2007–2024 in its original body), and if both cars share the same 1.3 Multijet engine code the glow plugs are very likely to be the same part. The engine code is the key detail here — supply it to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility rather than relying on year alone. Never assume fitment purely on year without cross-referencing the engine code.
Does the trim level affect which glow plugs I need — for example, do Pop, Lounge, and Sport models take different ones?
No — trim level makes no difference to glow plug fitment on the Fiat 500; Pop, Lounge, Sport, and any other trim all use the same glow plugs provided they share the same engine code. Glow plugs are an engine-specific mechanical part, not influenced by interior or exterior specification. Always quote your engine code to the breaker to confirm the correct part regardless of trim.
I have a diesel Fiat 500 — how many glow plugs do I need and does it matter where they come from on the donor car?
The 1.3 Multijet is a four-cylinder engine, so it takes four glow plugs in total — one per cylinder. When sourcing from a breaker, the donor vehicle's fuel type and engine code must match yours; the body colour, trim, or even the exact year of the donor car matter far less than the engine being the same unit. Confirm the engine code with your breaker against your registration to make sure you're getting the right plugs.
Could my Fiat 500 need glow plugs if it's a hybrid or mild-hybrid version?
The Fiat 500 mild-hybrid models sold in the UK use petrol engines (typically the 1.0 FireFly), not diesel, so they do not have glow plugs. Only a confirmed 1.3 Multijet diesel 500 requires glow plugs; hybrid and all petrol variants use spark plugs instead. If you're unsure of your engine type, check your V5 or ask the breaker to verify against your registration number.
