Which FIAT Camshaft is compatible with your engine? A complete guide to OEM numbers.

Understanding FIAT Engine Architecture and Camshaft Roles

• The Heart of Synchronization: In a FIAT engine, the FIAT Car Camshaft is the conductor of the valvetrain. Whether you are running a classic Fire engine or a modern Multijet diesel, the precision of the cam lobes determines the air-fuel intake and exhaust timing. A mismatch in OEM specifications can lead to poor idling, decreased fuel economy, or valve-to-piston interference.
• Material Science in Focus: Anhui KORBOR Machinery Co., Ltd. selects high-performance alloys and utilizes advanced heat treatment processes—such as tempering, carburizing, and quenching. These processes enhance the strength and wear resistance of our camshafts, ensuring they withstand the high-stress environments of modern turbocharged FIAT engines.
• 25 Years of Specialization: Founded in 1999, KORBOR has dedicated a quarter-century exclusively to camshaft manufacturing. Our 22,000 m² plant in Anqing, Anhui, produces high-precision components that follow the IATF16949:2016 standard, guaranteeing "zero defect" quality across more than 800 automotive models.

Key FIAT Engine Families and OEM Reference Guide

• The FIRE Engine (1.1L, 1.2L, 1.4L): These 8v and 16v petrol engines are common in the FIAT 500, Panda, and Punto.
  • Common OEM Numbers: 46406323, 46770032, and 55184044.
  • Technical Tip: 8v versions are often SOHC (Single Over Head Cam), while 16v (StarJet/T-Jet) models utilize DOHC configurations requiring distinct intake and exhaust shafts.
• The Multijet Diesel (1.3L, 1.6L, 1.9L): Known for their torque and efficiency, these require high-precision shafts to handle high injection pressures.
  • 1.3 JTD/Multijet: Frequently uses OEM 46823507 (Exhaust) and 12715-85E00 (Intake).
  • 1.9 JTD 8v: Often relies on OEM 46772393, fitting models like the Doblo, Bravo, and Stilo.
• Strategic Manufacturing: KORBOR provides a 1-stop service from blank casting to finished products. Every year, we deliver 2.3 million sets of precision car camshafts to global strategic partners, ensuring every process contains innovative power.

Compatibility Checklist: Selecting the Correct Shaft

• Verify the Engine Code: FIAT engines use specific codes (e.g., 188 A9.000 or 199 A2.000). Always cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or engine stamp with our catalog to ensure a 100% fit.
• Check the Positioning: For DOHC engines, the intake and exhaust camshafts are not interchangeable. KORBOR marks every batch to ensure clarity during the high-precision mass production phase.
• Environmental and Labor Standards: We are committed to sustainable production. By reducing waste and auditing our supply chain, we ensure that every engine camshaft you receive is produced under strict environmental and labor safety protocols.

Hardcore Technical FAQ

• What are the signs of a worn FIAT camshaft?: Tapping noises from the top end, loss of power, and visible "scoring" or "pitting" on the cam lobes during inspection.
• Can a 1.2 8v camshaft fit a 1.1 8v engine?: While physically similar, the lift and duration profiles usually differ. Always follow the OEM number to avoid incorrect valve timing.
• What does IATF16949:2016 certification mean?: It is the highest international quality management standard for the automotive industry, ensuring that our production processes are consistent and defect-free.
• How does "carburizing and quenching" help?: It creates a hard, wear-resistant outer shell while maintaining a tough, ductile core, preventing the camshaft from snapping under heavy engine loads.
• Is KORBOR an OEM or Aftermarket supplier?: We are a high-end manufacturer that established strategic cooperation with many brands, providing both OEM-standard replacements and customized solutions.
