Second Hand Fiat Tipo EGR Valve

Yes, but only on the diesel-engined variants — the 1.3 MultiJet and 1.6 MultiJet models both use an EGR valve as part of their emissions management system. The petrol-engined Tipos (1.4 and 1.6 petrol) do not have an EGR valve, so if you have a petrol Tipo you are looking for the wrong part. Check your V5C or ask your breaker to confirm your engine code before ordering.

The second-generation Fiat Tipo was launched in the UK from around 2016, so both years sit within the same generation, but there was a facelift in 2020, meaning a 2019 car is pre-facelift. Fitment on the EGR valve is driven primarily by your engine code — for example, the 1.6 MultiJet code — and the emissions calibration tied to that engine, so a 2016 and a 2019 diesel with the same engine code are likely to be compatible, but you should confirm the exact part number with your breaker against your registration to be sure. Never assume fitment on an emissions-related component without checking.

Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to EGR valve fitment — the valve is determined by your engine code and emissions specification, not whether your car is a Pop Star, Easy, Lounge, or any other grade. You can safely ignore trim when searching, but do make sure both cars share the same diesel engine code (for example 1.3 MultiJet or 1.6 MultiJet) before buying. Confirm this with your breaker against your registration number.

These are different engines with different displacement and different emissions tuning, so the EGR valves are not the same part and are very unlikely to interchange. Always identify your exact engine code — visible on your V5C or stamped on the engine — and quote this to your breaker when requesting a quote. Fitting the wrong valve can cause running problems and may affect your MOT emissions result.

The 1.6 MultiJet engine appears across several Fiat and Fiat Group models, and in some cases EGR valves from donor vehicles such as certain Bravo or Linea models may be dimensionally similar, but emissions-era calibration and connector type can differ between generations and between Euro 5 and Euro 6 applications. Because an incorrectly specced EGR valve can affect emissions output and MOT results, this is firmly something to confirm with your breaker against your specific registration and engine code rather than assume interchangeability. A good UK breaker will cross-reference the part number before supplying.

EGR valve replacement on the Tipo diesel is a moderately involved job — the valve is accessible but typically involves disconnecting vacuum or electrical connectors and removing inlet pipework, and a coolant-cooled EGR may also involve a coolant line. It is within the ability of a competent home mechanic, but if you are not confident working around diesel emissions components it is worth having it fitted by a garage, as incorrect sealing can cause boost or emissions issues. Either way, always clear fault codes and check for EGR-related DTCs after fitting to confirm the repair has worked.
