Choosing the right used Fiat Tipo timing chain
Used timing chains vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Fiat Tipo actually have a timing chain, or does it use a belt?
It depends entirely on the engine. The petrol engines in the current-generation Tipo (2016-onwards) — including the 1.4 naturally aspirated unit — use a timing chain, while the diesel engines (1.3 and 1.6 MultiJet) use a timing belt, not a chain. If you are searching for a timing chain, confirm your fuel type and engine code first, as ordering the wrong type is a common mistake.
Will a timing chain from a 2017 Tipo fit my 2020 Tipo?
The current Fiat Tipo generation ran from 2016 onwards, with a facelift around 2020, so a 2017 and a 2020 are both within the same broad generation but may sit either side of that facelift boundary. The timing chain itself follows the engine code rather than the model year, so if both cars share the same engine code — visible on your V5 or via a VIN check — fitment is likely compatible. However, whether any ancillary components around the chain changed at the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Does the trim level affect which timing chain I need — for example, does a Pop Star need a different chain to an Easy?
No — trim levels like Pop Star, Easy, Lounge, and Business on the Tipo are purely about equipment and cosmetics, and have no bearing on the timing chain. What matters is the engine code, which will be the same across all trims fitted with the same engine. Give the breaker your engine code rather than your trim name and you will get a much more useful answer.
I have a 1.4 petrol Tipo — does it definitely have a timing chain?
Yes, the 1.4 T-Jet and the 1.4 Fire petrol engines fitted to the Tipo use a timing chain rather than a belt. Confirm your exact engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN decoder) and pass that to the breaker, as there are different 1.4 variants and the chain assembly can differ between them.
Can I use a timing chain from a Fiat 500 or Punto on my Tipo?
Some Fiat petrol engines — particularly the 1.4 family — are shared across multiple models including the 500, Punto, and Tipo, so cross-model fitment is genuinely possible. The safest way to check is to compare the engine codes from both donor and recipient vehicles; if the codes match, the chain is very likely the same. Always confirm with the breaker, as even identical engine codes can occasionally have production-run differences in ancillary components.
My Tipo is a 1.6 MultiJet diesel — can I find a timing chain for it on Findapart?
The 1.6 MultiJet diesel does not use a timing chain — it uses a timing belt, so a timing chain listing will not be the right part for your car. What you are most likely looking for is a timing belt kit, which is a different component and should be searched for separately. Check with a breaker who can confirm the correct belt specification against your registration.
