Used Fiat 500 Intercooler

Only the turbocharged petrol variants of the Fiat 500 have an intercooler — specifically models fitted with the 0.9 TwinAir or the 1.4 T-Jet engines, which use forced induction and therefore require charge-air cooling. The standard naturally aspirated engines (such as the 1.2 and 1.4 non-turbo) have no intercooler at all, so if your 500 has one of those engines, this is not a part you need. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your engine code before searching.

The TwinAir (0.9 turbo, engine codes 312A2 and 199B4 depending on variant) and the T-Jet (1.4 turbo, engine code 312A1) are different engines with different intercooler setups, so they are not interchangeable. Always match the intercooler to the specific engine code rather than just the turbo badge. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The Fiat 500 second generation ran from 2007 through to 2024 with a facelift in 2015, and while the platform remained broadly consistent, ancillary and mounting details can change across that span, particularly around the 2015 facelift. The engine code is the most reliable guide — if both cars share the same engine code, fitment is more likely, but you should still confirm any mounting or pipework differences across the 2015 boundary with the breaker against your specific registration.

Trim level — whether Pop, Lounge, Sport, or others — does not affect which intercooler is fitted; what matters is the engine code. The Abarth 500 is technically a separate model with its own tuned turbo engine (commonly the 1.4 T-Jet in higher states of tune), so treat it separately rather than assuming it shares parts with a standard 500 T-Jet. Focus on matching the engine code and the breaker can cross-reference the rest.

The 500C is the convertible (cabriolet) variant, but the engine and intercooler setup is mechanically the same as the equivalent hatchback with the same engine code. Body style does not affect which intercooler is fitted, so an intercooler from a 500C with the same engine code should be the same unit — but confirm this with the breaker against both registrations to be certain.

The single most useful thing you can provide is the engine code, which appears on your V5 logbook or can be retrieved via a VIN check — this tells the breaker exactly which turbocharged variant you have far more reliably than the model year or trim name alone. Also mention the year of your car and your registration, as the breaker can use these to cross-reference any mid-production changes. Fuel type (petrol in all intercooled Fiat 500 cases) and gearbox type are also worth mentioning.
