⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Variations:

The Fiat Tipo has been offered with a range of gasoline and diesel engines. Specific engine displacements, power outputs, and torque figures will vary significantly by model year and market. Common engines include 1.4L Fire, 1.6L E.torQ, 1.3L MultiJet, 1.6L MultiJet, and 2.0L MultiJet diesel engines, as well as potential turbocharged variants.

Horsepower Range:

Typically ranging from approximately 95 hp for smaller naturally aspirated gasoline engines to over 120 hp for common diesel variants. Turbocharged and higher-performance variants may exceed this.

Torque Range:

Varies widely, but diesel engines generally offer higher torque figures, beneficial for drivability. Expect torque outputs from around 120 Nm for petrol to over 300 Nm for diesel variants.

Injection Type:

Gasoline engines typically utilize multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or direct injection (GDI) depending on the specific engine. Diesel engines employ common rail direct injection (CRDI).

Emission Controls:

Covers Emission Control Systems including catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, evaporative emission control systems (EVAP), and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) where applicable.

ECU Functions:

Covers engine control unit (ECU) operations, sensor inputs, and actuator outputs for optimal performance, emissions, and fuel economy.

🔧 Transmission

Manual Transmission:

Commonly available with 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmissions, depending on engine and model year.

Automatic Transmission:

Optional automatic or Dualogic (automated manual) transmissions may be available on certain variants.

Clutch System:

Details on clutch operation, adjustment, and replacement for manual transmissions.

Manual Fluid Type:

Manual transmission fluid (MTF) specifications will vary; common types include API GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oils with specific viscosity grades (e.g., 75W-90).

Automatic Fluid Type:

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) specifications are critical for automatic and Dualogic transmissions. Refer to specific Fiat ATF types (e.g., Tutela ATFor equivalent).

📐 Dimensions

Length:

The Fiat Tipo is generally a compact to mid-size car. Exact dimensions vary by body style (hatchback, sedan, wagon). For example, hatchback models are typically around 4.2-4.3 meters in length.

Width:

Typically around 1.75-1.8 meters wide (excluding mirrors).

Height:

Generally around 1.45-1.55 meters tall.

Curb Weight:

Curb weight varies by engine and equipment, typically ranging from 1100 kg to 1300 kg.

🛡️ Safety Features

Euro Ncap Rating:

The Fiat Tipo has achieved 3-star to 5-star safety ratings in Euro NCAP crash tests depending on the specific model year and equipment package. Higher ratings are typically associated with vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems.

Braking System:

Equipped with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and often Brake Assist (BA). Higher trims may feature electronic stability control (ESC).

Traction Control:

Traction Control System (TCS) is commonly integrated with ESC to prevent wheel spin during acceleration.

Airbags:

Standard safety features include front airbags for driver and passenger, side airbags, and curtain airbags. Some models may include knee airbags or rear side airbags.

Seatbelts:

Includes front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, as well as rear seatbelt systems.

💡 Technology Features

Infotainment System:

Features Fiat's Uconnect infotainment system, often with a touchscreen display (e.g., 5-inch, 7-inch, or 10-inch depending on trim and year), supporting Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and often Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Adas Features:

Higher trim levels or optional packages may include features such as cruise control, parking sensors (front and rear), a rearview camera, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.

Connectivity Options:

Standard connectivity includes Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming. USB ports for device charging and media playback are common. Some models offer Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 1 year, whichever comes first, though this can vary based on engine type and driving conditions. Consult the manual for exact intervals.

Timing Belt Replacement:

For gasoline engines with timing belts, replacement is usually recommended between 90,000 km (56,000 miles) and 120,000 km (75,000 miles), or every 5-7 years. Diesel engines often use timing chains which may not require periodic replacement, but check specific engine requirements.

Engine Oil Specification:

Fiat Tipo typically requires synthetic engine oil meeting specific ACEA standards (e.g., ACEA C2 or C3) and SAE viscosity grades like 0W-30 or 5W-30, depending on the engine. Refer to the manual or oil filler cap for precise specifications.

Coolant Specification:

Uses a long-life organic acid technology (OAT) coolant, typically a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. Fiat Part Number 19.990.204 or equivalent. Color is usually blue or pink.

Brake Fluid Specification:

Typically DOT 4 brake fluid, meeting FMVSS 116 or ISO 4925 standards. Regular replacement every 2 years is recommended due to moisture absorption.

Power Steering Fluid:

Power steering fluid type will depend on whether the system is hydraulic or electric. Hydraulic systems typically require specific power steering fluid meeting Fiat specifications. Electric power steering does not use fluid.

Transmission Fluid Capacity:

Capacities for manual and automatic transmissions will vary. For example, a manual gearbox might hold 1.5-2.0 liters of MTF, while automatic transmissions can range from 4 to 8 liters of ATF.

Engine Oil Capacity:

Engine oil capacity also varies by engine type, typically ranging from 3.2 liters to 4.5 liters for gasoline engines and up to 5.0 liters for larger diesel engines. Consult the manual for precise capacity.

Common Problems:

Potential issues can include occasional electrical gremlins, DPF regeneration problems on diesel models if used for short trips, and wear on suspension components in some high-mileage vehicles. The manual will detail specific diagnostic and repair procedures for these.
