Not sure you've found the right part?
Identifying the correct turbo reference for your Abarth 500
Before placing any order, it is essential to check the reference number on the original turbo fitted to your Abarth 500, to confirm that it matches the VL40 reference or one of its equivalents. This check prevents any compatibility errors and ensures a replacement that meets the vehicle's specifications.
Engine fitment for the Abarth 500
This new turbo is compatible with the Abarth 500 fitted with the 1.4 T-Jet 16V Turbo petrol engine, a 1368 cm³ unit renowned for its sporting character and responsiveness. The engine code for this engine is 199 A8.000. We recommend confirming this engine code on the vehicle's identification plate or V5C logbook before purchasing.
Exchange basis and warranty on this new turbo
This new turbo for the Abarth 500 is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. The return is only required after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so the vehicle is not left off the road. A 12-month parts warranty applies, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments, in up to 10 instalments.
Common causes of turbo failure on the Abarth 500 1.4 T-Jet
On this turbocharged, high-performance engine, turbo failure is most commonly caused by lubrication issues linked to incorrect oil, excessively long oil change intervals, or a clogged air filter. A damaged intercooler or cracked hoses can also cause a loss of pressure and accelerate turbo wear, as can driving the engine hard before it has reached its proper operating temperature.
Advice before fitting the turbo to your Abarth 500
Before installation, check the oil circuit, the condition of the hoses and the air intake to prevent any contamination of the new turbo. When starting the engine for the first time, priming the oil supply is essential to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings and to protect the service life of the new turbo.
