A buyer's guide to used Fiat 500L starter motor
No two starter motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does a starter motor from an earlier Fiat 500L fit my newer one?
The Fiat 500L ran from 2012 onwards, with a facelift in 2017, so there are two distinct phases to consider. Fitment of a starter motor depends primarily on the engine code rather than the model year alone, so a unit from a pre-facelift 500L could potentially fit a post-facelift car if the engine code matches, but ancillary mounting details can change across that 2017 boundary. Give the breaker both registration numbers or both engine codes and let them cross-reference before you buy.
Will a starter motor from a petrol 500L fit my diesel 500L?
No — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different starter motors to suit their compression ratios and electrical demands, so these do not interchange. Check your V5 logbook or run a VIN check to confirm whether your engine is petrol or diesel, and supply that information alongside the engine code when requesting a quote from a breaker.
Does gearbox type affect which starter motor fits a Fiat 500L?
Yes, it can — the starter motor mounting position and specification can differ between manual and automatic (Dualogic) gearbox variants on the same engine. When contacting a breaker, confirm both your engine code and gearbox type to make sure the unit they have suits your exact drivetrain layout.
Does the trim level of the 500L matter when sourcing a starter motor — for example, does a Pop Star, Lounge, or Trekking need a different one?
Trim level makes no difference to starter motor fitment — Pop Star, Lounge, Trekking, and any other 500L trim all use the same starter motor if the engine code matches. Trim affects cosmetic and interior specification only, so don't be put off a unit pulled from a different trim level as long as the engine code and fuel type align.
My 500L is a 2013 — can I use a starter motor from a 2016 car?
Both years fall within the pre-facelift generation (2012–2017), which is a good starting point, but fitment still depends on the engine code being identical rather than the years simply being in the same generation. Share the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check with the breaker so they can confirm the unit is a genuine match before purchase.
Does every Fiat 500L have a starter motor, or are any variants exempt?
All Fiat 500L variants — petrol and diesel alike — are conventionally fuelled internal combustion engines and therefore all have a starter motor; there were no full-hybrid or pure-electric versions sold in the UK that would omit one. The specification of the starter motor does vary by engine, so the engine code remains the most important detail to supply to your breaker.
