Used Fiat 500e Cylinder Head

The Fiat 500e (electric, sold in the UK from 2021 onwards as the second-generation 500e) does not have a conventional internal combustion cylinder head — it is a fully battery-electric vehicle with no combustion engine, so no cylinder head exists in this car. If you are searching for a cylinder head for a Fiat 500, you likely have the petrol or mild-hybrid 500 rather than the 500e, and you should confirm your fuel type and engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before requesting quotes from a breaker.

No direct swap is possible because the Fiat 500e is fully electric and has no cylinder head whatsoever, whereas petrol Fiat 500 models use combustion engines with cylinder heads that are entirely incompatible with the 500e's drivetrain. If your vehicle has a cylinder head at all, it is not a 500e — double-check your V5 for the fuel type listed, as the 500e will show as electric. Contact a breaker with your exact registration and VIN to confirm which vehicle and part you actually need.

The Fiat 500e is a fully electric vehicle and has no cylinder head regardless of trim level — Action, Passion, Icon, or La Prima trim makes no difference here because none of them have a combustion engine. If you have established that your 500 does have a cylinder head, trim level still would not affect cylinder head fitment, as trim relates to cosmetic and comfort features rather than the engine; what matters is the engine code on your V5. Confirm the exact part you need with a breaker using your registration.

The Fiat 500e launched in the UK in 2021 is a fully electric vehicle and carries no cylinder head in either year, so this question does not apply to this car. If you are finding references to a cylinder head for a Fiat 500, please check your V5 to confirm whether your vehicle is electric or petrol-engined, as the two are mechanically entirely different. A breaker will need your registration or VIN to identify the correct vehicle and advise you properly.

For any combustion-engined Fiat 500, the single most important detail is the engine code, which you will find on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check — this tells the breaker exactly which head casting is required above year or trim. You should also confirm your fuel type (petrol or mild-hybrid) and gearbox type, as these can affect ancillary components. Bear in mind that if your vehicle is a 500e (fully electric), no cylinder head exists on that car, so verify your fuel type on the V5 before approaching a breaker.
