Second Hand Fiat Tipo Crankshaft

Yes – the crankshaft is a fundamental internal-combustion engine component, so every Fiat Tipo regardless of engine, fuel type, or body style has one. Both the first-generation Tipo (1988–1995) and the second-generation Tipo (2015–present, facelifted 2020) are fitted with one as standard. There is no variant of the Tipo that omits a crankshaft.

The second-generation Tipo runs from 2015 onwards, with a facelift arriving in 2020, so a 2017 car sits in the pre-facelift phase and a 2022 car in the post-facelift phase. The crankshaft follows the engine code first and foremost, so if both cars share the same engine code the internal dimensions are likely to match, but whether ancillary or mounting details changed across that 2020 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration. Always supply your engine code – found on your V5 or via a VIN check – when requesting a quote.

No – trim level has no bearing on the crankshaft whatsoever; Lounge, Street, Супер, and Sport are badge and equipment differences, not mechanical ones. What matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and whether the car is manual or automatic, as these determine which engine assembly was fitted. Tell the breaker your engine code and they can match the correct crankshaft regardless of which trim your car is.

No – crankshaft dimensions, stroke, and journal sizing are specific to each engine displacement and code, so a 1.4 and a 1.6 crankshaft are not interchangeable even though both are naturally aspirated petrol units. You need to match on engine code, not just fuel type or broad displacement description. Provide your exact engine code to the breaker so they can supply the correct unit.

No – body style makes no difference to the crankshaft; the engine is the same unit whether it sits in a hatchback or an estate (Station Wagon). The crankshaft is determined entirely by the engine code, so focus on supplying that information to the breaker rather than the body style. Body style is irrelevant for this part.

The most important detail is your engine code, which is printed on your V5C or available through a VIN check – this tells the breaker the exact engine family and ensures the stroke, journal diameters, and overall dimensions will match. You should also confirm your fuel type (petrol or diesel) and gearbox type (manual or automatic), and the year of your vehicle to help narrow down any production-run variation. Do not rely on year or trim name alone, as the engine code is the single most reliable way to guarantee the breaker sources the right crankshaft for your Tipo.
