5 COMMON PROBLEMS WITH A FIAT FIORINO 1.3 LITRE DIESEL VAN - REVIEW 

You don’t need to rebuild the engine if the chain snaps, it’s designed to brake the lifters only if that happens, no big deal and not expensive, not compared to a re built. The rattle from the chain is not caused from a worn chain, it’s the hydraulic tensioner that get stuck and makes the chain longer for a few seconds when starting from cold. It’s important to know so you’ll buy a chain kit that includes the tensioner, if you don’t change it the rattle won’t go away. Last but not least, you never check the oil level with the engine running, it will show completely wrong level.

Helpful but would be great to know what you might expect to pay for these type of repairs.

Thank you for this review. I was looking at one of these vehicles and glad I came across your review! I suppose these same faults may occur in the Bippas nd Nemos? or are they made better? 😊

El nivel de aceite se mide con motor detenido. No gires volante con automóvil detenido. El seguro de capot lo malograron poral uso. Motor petrolero no ahorra, ya que se gasta más en mantenimiento. Consejo, comprar con motor FIRE EVO 1.4 8V, fácil mecanica y muy confiable.

No midas el nivel de aceite con el motor en marcha. No muevas el volante con el automóvil detenido. El seguro del capot lo malograton por no saber usarlo. Consejo, es mejor el motor bencinero FIRE EVO 1.4 8V, mecánica sencilla y muy confiable. Lo que ahorras en petróleo lo gastas en mantenimiento. No economizas nada, a no ser que andes más de 5.000 kilómetros al mes y retornes ganancias con ese uso.

The Peugeot and fiat do not share the same engine, well at least before this face list anyway, the fiat uses it's tried and tested jtd unit. They do share the same shell and cabin accessories suspension ect. Both good engines as long as serviced well just like most cars, never follow the reccomed service intervals as they are ridiculous, same as BMW longline changes every 20k it's bonkers.
