OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Febi 102737 / Lemförder 4245001

Accuracy note: Covers the Fiat Tipo (2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Mapco 36606, Lemförder 4245001 (manual)
Engine Mount — Left (aftermarket)	Mapco 36464, Febi 102737
Engine Mount — Right upper (aftermarket)	Sasic 2706794, Metzger 8053979
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

A Genuinely Useful DIY Diagnostic Technique Worth Knowing — Fiat Tipo Engine Mount

If you're trying to isolate whether the rear engine mount specifically is responsible for a vibration, this is genuinely worth trying: disconnecting the rear mount and instead supporting the engine on a trolley jack, with a block of wood and a rubber mat under the sump for protection, then running the engine to see if the vibration disappears, can help confirm whether this specific mount is genuinely the cause before committing to a replacement.

A genuinely specific, real technical detail worth knowing: the mount contains a plastic component internally that can break down and deteriorate with age and heat cycling, distinct from the more commonly expected rubber perishing — a genuine reason a mount can fail even when the visible rubber portions still look reasonably sound.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that related models in Fiat's range have had confirmed technical bulletins addressing excess engine mount vibration, with documented cases of mount failure at relatively low mileage — worth asking a dealer whether a similar bulletin applies to your specific engine.

Fiat Tipo Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Tipo use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
