Parts Catalogs
While you cannot purchase parts at most of the below links, it will show you the manufacturer part numbers and often some basic specifications for every part- making it easier for you to find high quality parts online. Many "rare" parts on our cars can be found in new condition, cheap, at a multitude of sources online, but using FIATs part numbering system leaves you at the mercy of every vendor to have included Fiat in their cross reference catalog. Thankfully the below manufacturers have done that for you- just be a little mindful when ordering parts as there could be errors lurking, given the age of our cars and the part numbering mayhem that is fiats catalog at times.
Schaeffler Group is a large manufacturer consisting of the companies INA, Schaeffler, LuK, Continental (sort of), and FAG- each with their own area of expertise. They are even responsible for a majority of the design, and the entirety of manufacturing for the very intricate MultiAir unit found on newer Fiat engines.
Elring is a well regarded manufacturer of gaskets and seals, used by nearly all of the top brands: BMW, Fiat, Audi, and so on. Here you will find cam and crank seals, valve stem seals, and a valve cover gasket.
