1.9 Diesel (Non-Jtd):
Likely refers to older naturally aspirated or indirect injection diesels. Further specification dependent on exact variant, but generally lower power and torque than JTD versions.
Typical Top Speed:
Varies significantly by engine, generally 140-170 km/h.
Typical Acceleration 0 100Kmh:
Varies significantly by engine, generally 13-19 seconds.
Injection Type:
Multi-point Injection (MPI) for petrol, Common Rail Diesel Injection (CRDI) for JTD and other diesel variants.
Length:
Approx. 4250-4260 mm (first generation variants).
Width:
Approx. 1720-1722 mm.
Height:
Approx. 1800-1845 mm.
Luggage Capacity:
Varies by configuration (van/combi) and seat arrangement, typically ranging from 750 liters to over 3000 liters with seats folded/removed.
Curb Weight:
Approx. 1200-1400 kg, depending on engine and equipment.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Typically around 1800-2000 kg for passenger variants, higher for commercial van versions.
Euroncap Crash Test:
Achieved 3 out of 5 stars in Euro NCAP (first generation), with later versions potentially seeing improvements or variations depending on safety equipment fitted.
Braking System:
Front ventilated discs, rear solid discs. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) commonly available on higher trims or as options.
Airbags:
Driver and front passenger airbags standard on most models. Side airbags and curtain airbags may be optional or standard on higher trims.
Seatbelts:
3-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners for front seats. 3-point or lap belts for rear seats depending on configuration.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000-20,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first, depending on engine type and driving conditions. Consult manual for specific recommendations.
Timing Belt Replacement:
For 1.2 8V and 1.4 8V FIRE engines, timing belt replacement is crucial, typically around 90,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years. JTD diesel engines often use timing chains, which are generally maintenance-free but should be inspected for wear.
Engine Oil:
API SN/SP, ACEA A3/B4. Viscosity grades commonly SAE 5W-40 or 5W-30, depending on engine and climate. Always confirm with manual. Fiat recommends its own brands like Selenia.
Coolant:
Paraflu Up (or equivalent), ethylene glycol based, Type: OAT (Organic Acid Technology), pink color. Mix 50:50 with de-ionized water.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 (e.g., Tutela DOT 4).
Transmission Fluid:
Manual gearbox oil: SAE 75W-85 GL-4 (e.g., Selenia Gear Oil).
Diesel Particulate Filter:
For 1.3 JTD and 1.6 Multijet models with DPFs, potential issues include clogging due to short trips and incomplete regeneration cycles. Requires specific maintenance and driving habits.
Suspension Wear:
As with many LCVs and MPVs, suspension components like ball joints, bushings, and tie rod ends can wear over time due to load and road conditions.
Electrical Gremlins:
Some owners report minor electrical issues, such as intermittent warning lights or accessory malfunctions, often related to wiring harnesses or grounding points.
Clutch Wear:
The clutch assembly is subject to wear depending on driving style and usage, particularly in stop-and-go traffic.
