Engine Options:
Likely includes various petrol and diesel engines, such as 1.4L, 1.6L, 1.8L, 2.0L petrol, and 1.9L TD/JTD diesel variants. Specific engine codes (e.g., 182 A4.000, 175 A1.000) would be detailed in the manual.
Power Torque Range:
Horsepower typically ranging from approximately 75 HP to 150 HP depending on the engine variant. Torque figures would vary accordingly.
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines, direct injection (common rail for JTD) for diesel engines. Turbocharging common on diesel variants.
Ignition Type:
Electronic ignition, distributorless ignition system (DIS) or coil-on-plug depending on the engine.
Catalytic Converter:
Equipped with a catalytic converter to meet emissions standards of the era. Lambda sensors for feedback control.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, for petrol engines. Diesel intervals may vary.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial interval, often around 60,000 - 90,000 km or 5-6 years for petrol engines, depending on engine type. Diesel engines may use timing chains or have different intervals.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity grades (e.g., 10W-40, 5W-40) and API/ACEA specifications based on engine type and climate. Fiat 9.55535-G1/G2 or similar.
Coolant:
