🔧 Maintenance
Service Intervals
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact engine/oil type)
Timing Belt:
For FIRE engines, typically 90,000 - 120,000 km or 5-6 years. Critical to follow manual. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 30,000 km or 2 years, or as needed based on driving conditions.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Varies by engine type (e.g., standard vs. long-life iridium plugs). Typically 40,000 - 100,000 km. Manual is essential.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 5W-40, 10W-40) and ACEA/API specifications. Common Fiat specification like Selenia is often recommended.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically pink or blue, mixed 50/50 with distilled water. Check manual for specific type (e.g., Paraflu UP).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid is common. Must be replaced every 2-3 years due to moisture absorption.
Transmission Fluid:
Manual transmission: GL-4 specification gear oil (e.g., 75W-80 or 75W-90). Automatic/Dualogic will have specific ATF requirements.
Known Issues
Electrical Gremlins:
Some owners report minor electrical issues, often related to sensors, wiring harnesses, or body control modules, common in European cars of this era.
Suspension Wear:
Front suspension components like ball joints and anti-roll bar links can wear over time, leading to knocking noises.
Clutch Wear:
Clutch wear is dependent on driving style, but the release bearing or clutch plate may require replacement at higher mileages.
Diesel Particulate Filter:
For Multijet diesel models, DPF regeneration issues or clogging can occur if driven primarily on short trips.
