Fitment questions
Do Fiat 500L glow plugs exist on all versions, or only certain engines?
Glow plugs only exist on diesel-engined Fiat 500Ls — they are a diesel ignition aid and are not fitted to any petrol variant. The 500L was sold in the UK with diesel engines including the 1.3 MultiJet and 1.6 MultiJet, and it is only these variants that use glow plugs. If your 500L is petrol, you will not need glow plugs — you may be thinking of spark plugs instead.
Will glow plugs from a 2013 Fiat 500L fit my 2017 500L?
The Fiat 500L ran from 2012 onwards, with a facelift arriving in 2017 — so a 2013 car is pre-facelift and a 2017 car sits right at the facelift boundary. Because glow plug fitment follows engine code above all else, check that both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) before assuming they interchange across that 2017 boundary, and confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration. If the engine codes match, fitment is likely, but the breaker is best placed to verify.
Does the trim level affect which glow plugs I need — for example, do Pop, Lounge, or Trekking models use different ones?
Trim level makes no difference to glow plug fitment on the Fiat 500L — Pop, Lounge, Trekking, and any other trim all use the same plugs provided the engine is the same. What matters is the engine code, not the badge on the tailgate. Focus your search on matching the engine code and fuel type rather than the trim name.
How many glow plugs does a Fiat 500L diesel need?
A four-cylinder diesel engine has one glow plug per cylinder, so a Fiat 500L with a 1.3 MultiJet or 1.6 MultiJet engine will have four glow plugs in total. When buying from a breaker, it is worth asking whether they are selling a full set or individual plugs, as replacing them as a set is generally recommended. Confirm the engine code with the breaker so they can pull the correct set for your specific variant.
Do I need to worry about coding or pairing glow plugs to my Fiat 500L's ECU?
Glow plugs themselves are not typically paired or coded to the ECU in the way that some electronic modules are, but the glow plug control module or relay can be a different matter. For the plugs themselves, matching the engine code is the key compatibility check, but confirm any associated electronic components with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. A breaker familiar with the 500L diesel will be able to advise on what is needed for your specific setup.
Can I use 1.3 MultiJet glow plugs in a 1.6 MultiJet Fiat 500L, or are they different?
The 1.3 MultiJet and 1.6 MultiJet are different engines with different specifications, and their glow plugs are not assumed to be interchangeable. Always match glow plugs to the specific engine code on your V5 rather than going by engine size alone, as plug dimensions, heat range, and thread pitch can differ. Supply your engine code to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part for your exact engine variant.
