Let’s say you own a 2009 Fiat Grande Punto and need a new water pump. Here is how you use the Fiat Eper Catalog:
Step 1: Enter your VIN (e.g., ZFA19900001234567). The system automatically identifies: "Grande Punto, 1.4 8V Fire, 2006-2010, 5-door."
Step 2: Select the "Engine" group (Group 10). You will see a tree menu:
Step 3: Click on Group 16. An exploded diagram loads. You see the timing belt, tensioners, and the water pump (usually numbered #4 in the diagram).
Step 4: Look at the parts list below the diagram. Next to #4, you see: "55198765 – WATER PUMP – 1.4 8V – 2007 onwards"
Step 5: Copy that number. Paste it into Google or eBay. You will now find the exact correct pump, not a "universal fit."
Using the Fiat Eper system offers several critical advantages over generic parts searching:
ePER (Electronic Parts Exchange and Repair) is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ (now Stellantis) official electronic spare parts catalog. It contains detailed diagrams, part numbers, and technical information for Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, and some older Chrysler/Jeep models sold in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).
Key features:
As Stellantis consolidates platforms (STLA Small, Medium, Large), the role of ePER is evolving. The company wants you to use their official "Mopar Parts" app. However, the user community will likely keep the legacy ePER catalogs alive as long as there are 90s and 2000s Fiats on the road.
For electric vehicles and hybrid models (Fiat 500e, Hybrid Panda), the diagnostics and parts catalog are moving to cloud-based server systems that are impossible to pirate. Therefore, if you own a classic or early 2000s Fiat, download an offline version of the Fiat Eper Catalog now before it disappears forever.
A lesser-known but critical feature for restorers is the Data Card (TAV). This function allows the user to see exactly how the car left the factory. It lists the original paint code, interior trim code, and option packages. For a classic car restorer trying to return a vehicle to concourse condition, this historical record is invaluable.
The Fiat Eper Catalog (often stylized as ePER or Eper) is the official electronic spare parts catalog used by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now Stellantis) dealerships worldwide. The acronym ‘EPER’ stands for Electronic Parts Exchange Reference.
Think of it as the complete DNA map of every Fiat vehicle. The catalog contains exploded diagrams (drawings that show how parts fit together), OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part numbers, prices, and detailed descriptions for thousands of components. Instead of guessing which alternator fits your 2006 Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 JTD, the Eper catalog tells you instantly, down to the specific VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Originally, this software was locked behind dealership firewalls on CD-ROMs or local servers. Today, thanks to the digital age, several archived and updated versions of the Fiat Eper Catalog are available online, allowing owners to look up parts from the comfort of their homes.
After clicking a group, a list of sub-groups (Figures) appears.
