Second Hand Fiat 500e Timing Chain

No — the Fiat 500e is a fully electric vehicle with no internal combustion engine, so it has no timing chain, timing belt, or any other engine valve-train component whatsoever. The drivetrain consists of an electric motor, inverter, and battery pack, none of which use a timing chain. If you are searching for a timing chain, you may be thinking of the petrol Fiat 500 (the conventional ICE model), which does have one — make sure you are looking at the right vehicle.

Because the 500e is electric, there is no timing chain to replace, and no breaker will be able to supply one for this model. If your 500e has a drivetrain fault, the components you might genuinely be sourcing used are items such as the electric motor, inverter, reduction gearbox, or battery modules — a breaker specialising in EVs would be the right contact. If you need a timing chain and your car is actually the petrol Fiat 500 (not the 500e badge), search specifically for the petrol 500 and supply your engine code from the V5.

This question does not apply to the 500e in any trim level, because the car is fully electric across its entire range — Action, Passion, Icon, and La Prima alike — and none of them have a timing chain or any combustion engine components. Trim level makes no difference here for the simple reason that the part does not exist on the vehicle at all. If you have a petrol Fiat 500 in any trim, that is a different model and a breaker can help you with a timing chain for that car once you supply the engine code.

The Fiat 500e relaunched as a fully electric model in its third generation, and every version sold — from the 2020 launch onward — is battery-electric with no combustion engine and therefore no timing chain. There is no year within the 500e range where a timing chain was ever fitted. If you are looking at an older Fiat 500 from before the electric era, that is the separate petrol model and your V5 engine code is what a breaker will need.
