🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change:

Every 7,500 - 10,000 km (4,500 - 6,000 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Turbocharged engines benefit from more frequent changes.

Air Filter:

Inspect every 15,000 km (9,000 miles), replace as needed.

Spark Plugs:

Replace every 30,000 - 40,000 km (18,000 - 25,000 miles).

Timing Belt:

Replace every 50,000 - 60,000 km (30,000 - 37,000 miles) or 5 years due to critical engine damage risk if it fails. The manual will specify the exact interval and procedure, including tensioner and idler pulley replacement.

Coolant Flush:

Every 2-3 years or as per manual specifications.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 4 (or DOT 3 if specified for older models)

Power Steering Fluid:

Lancia specified hydraulic fluid (often ATF Dexron II/III compatible, check manual for exact type)

Common Faults And Wear:

Turbocharger oil feed pipe blockage leading to turbo failure, distributor wear (8V), lambda sensor issues, differential whine, clutch wear, corrosion on bodywork (especially rear arches, sills, suspension mounts), fuel pump fragility, gearbox synchromesh wear (especially 2nd gear), electrical gremlins (aged wiring). The manual provides detailed diagnostic procedures for these.

Oil Filter Example:

Original: 7761310. Example aftermarket: Mann-Filter W940/1, Mahle OC 243.

Timing Belt Kit Example:
