Engine Type:
Inline-4 Cylinder Turbocharged Common Rail Diesel (JTD / MultiJet)
Displacement:
1248 cc (1.3 Liters)
Bore X Stroke:
Approx. 69.6 mm x 82.0 mm
Compression Ratio:
Typically around 17.6:1 to 18.0:1
Valvetrain:
DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft), 16 Valves
Horsepower Range:
Typically 70-90 PS (69-89 bhp / 51-66 kW), depending on the specific variant (e.g., 70 PS, 90 PS).
Torque Range:
Approximately 180-200 Nm (133-148 lb-ft) at around 1750-2000 RPM.
Fuel Delivery:
Direct injection, Common Rail system (e.g., Bosch or Delphi).
Turbocharger:
Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) or Wastegate Turbocharger, intercooled.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 1 year, whichever comes first, often subject to driving conditions (severe vs. normal).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical: Usually around 120,000 km (75,000 miles) or 5 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. The manual will specify the exact interval and part numbers.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 30,000 - 45,000 km (18,500 - 28,000 miles) or as per manual.
Air Filter Replacement:
Typically every 30,000 km (18,500 miles) or 2 years.
