Fiat parts
The Fiat catalogue is small: 5 parts covering vehicles from 1980 to 2019. Four of them fit the Fiat 500 and one fits the 124. The listings include a tailgate strut, a thermostat housing, a brake hose, a carbon canister and a door handle, each with the exact years it fits.
Models
What we list for Fiat
The Fiat 500 has 4 parts and the 124 has 1. Each part type appears once: a tailgate strut, a thermostat housing, a brake hose, a carbon canister and a door handle. The brands are Autopart Premium, Motorad, Centric, Mopar and TRQ. The range is limited, so if you do not see the part you need, it is not currently listed for Fiat.
Checking fit on a Fiat 500
The Fiat 500 was sold with different engines and in hatchback and convertible body styles, and some parts change between them. A tailgate strut for the hatchback will not suit a convertible, for example. Select your exact year and model, then read the fitment table for body style and engine. Comparing the number on your old part is the most reliable check.
Replacing these Fiat parts
A brake hose carries fluid to the caliper, so after fitting one you will need to bleed the brakes and test the pedal before driving. A carbon canister is part of the evaporative emissions system and a fault often sets a check engine light. A thermostat housing should be fitted with a new gasket or seal and the cooling system refilled and bled of air.
Fiat questions
How many Fiat parts do you carry?
Five. Four fit the Fiat 500 and one fits the 124. They cover a tailgate strut, thermostat housing, brake hose, carbon canister and door handle.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after changing a Fiat brake hose?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic system lets air in, so bleed the brakes after fitting the new hose and check for a firm pedal and no leaks before you drive.
Does the Fiat 500 tailgate strut fit the convertible?
Check the fitment table. Hatchback and convertible versions use different rear openings, so the strut listing will state which body style it suits.
