Signs of a worn turbo on your Fiat 500 Abarth
On a Fiat 500 Abarth fitted with the 1.4 T-Jet engine, a turbocharger that is nearing the end of its life will often make itself known through a loss of power on acceleration, an unusual whistling noise under the bonnet, blue smoke from the exhaust indicating abnormal oil consumption, or an engine warning light accompanied by a feeling of restricted performance. These symptoms, common on this supercharged petrol engine, are generally caused by worn bearings, excessive shaft play, or leaking turbo seals.
Compatibility of the new turbo with the Fiat 500
This new turbo is compatible with reference VL40, intended for Fiat 500 Abarth models fitted with the 1.4 T-Jet engine, engine code 198 A1.000. Before placing an order, it is strongly recommended that you check the reference marked on the old turbo or on the engine plate, as several turbo variants have been fitted to this engine depending on the power output and vehicle version.
Warranty and delivery of the Fiat 500 turbo
This new turbo is sold as a straightforward sale: there is no part to return and no old turbo to send back. A single delivery is made — the new turbo. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over up to 10 instalments.
Advice before fitting the new turbo
Before installing the new turbo, it is essential to check the condition of the oil circuit, hoses and air intake, as any blockage or leak in these components can cause premature failure. Pay close attention to the quality of the engine oil and adherence to oil change intervals, as well as the condition of the air filter and intercooler, which are frequently responsible for turbo failure on this type of petrol engine. When starting up for the first time, it is recommended to prime the turbo with oil to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings and to protect the longevity of the new part.
