What to check when buying a used Fiat 500X timing chain
A used timing chain that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Fiat 500X actually have a timing chain, or does it use a timing belt?
It depends entirely on which engine is fitted. The 1.3 MultiJet diesel and some petrol variants use a timing belt, while the 1.4 MultiAir turbocharged petrol engine uses a timing chain rather than a belt. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your exact engine code before searching for either part.
Will a timing chain from a 2015 Fiat 500X fit my 2019 Fiat 500X?
The Fiat 500X launched in 2014 and received a facelift in 2018, so a 2015 car is pre-facelift and a 2019 car is post-facelift. The engine code is the critical factor here — if both cars share the same engine code (for example both are 1.4 MultiAir units with the same code), there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but because ancillary and mounting details can change across a facelift boundary you should confirm interchange directly with the breaker against both registrations before buying.
Does my trim level affect which timing chain I need — does it matter if I have a Pop Star, Cross, or Lounge?
No, trim level has no bearing on timing chain fitment whatsoever. Pop Star, Cross, Lounge and other trim variants are cosmetic and equipment-level distinctions; what determines the correct timing chain is the engine code, which you'll find on your V5 or via a VIN check. Provide the engine code to the breaker and the trim name can be ignored entirely for this part.
I have a 1.4 MultiAir 140bhp Fiat 500X — does it definitely have a timing chain?
Yes, the 1.4 MultiAir turbocharged petrol engine fitted to the Fiat 500X uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt. To make sure you get the correct chain kit, give the breaker your exact engine code (not just the displacement and power output), as there can be variation within the MultiAir family.
Does it matter whether my Fiat 500X is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive when buying a timing chain?
The timing chain is internal to the engine and is not affected by whether the car is FWD or the 4WD AWD variant. What matters is the engine code — as long as the donor car shares the same engine code as yours, the drivetrain layout of either vehicle is irrelevant for this part.
Can I use a timing chain from a Fiat 500 or Alfa Romeo MiTo with the same 1.4 MultiAir engine in my 500X?
The 1.4 MultiAir engine was used across several Fiat and Alfa Romeo models, and in principle the internal engine components including the timing chain can be shared across platforms where the engine code matches exactly. That said, you should always confirm with the breaker by supplying your exact engine code, as specification changes can occur between model years even within the same engine family, and fitment can never be guaranteed without that check.
