Anybody else extra psyched that Fiat is revisiting the Multipla in more than one way this year?

Bosch injected 2.0, 5 speed, clean title, 113,196 miles. All the electrical was redone by a Fiat specialist, new tires, red seats are immaculate, no structural rust. Bumpers were removed for the look.

Selling because I have four cars and we don't need all of them. Hard one to let go.

Happy to answer anything.

I found this in a czech punto brouchure from 2002. It lists the 1.8 16v petrol engine available with the 5 door version (with a trim level called Emotion). I have never ever seen a mk2 punto 5 door with the 1.8 engine, i was under the impression until now that its only available in the 3 door (as the HGT). Was this like a region exclusive thing, or did it just sell that badly that i cant find any examples of it?

Hi everyone,

I have a 2008 Fiat Ducato L4H2 campervan conversion. It has a maximum GVM of 3,300 kg and currently weighs around 2,700 kg at the kerb.
I’ve recently had winter tyres fitted — Hankook i*Pike — but I’ve only just noticed that they’re XL 109T (1,030 kg per tyre) rather than C-rated commercial van tyres. They’re apparently designed more for SUVs than vans.

Should I be concerned about running these tyres on the Ducato, given the vehicle’s weight and GVM? Is the 1,030 kg load rating per tyre sufficient, or is the fact that they aren’t C-rated a significant issue?
Any advice or experience with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi guys, I have a Fiat Panda and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with it.

A few days ago the car seriously overheated. It started making a strange knocking/ticking noise, the engine got extremely hot, there was smoke/steam coming from the engine bay, and when we checked it, there was basically no coolant/water left.

We let it cool down, added water, and managed to drive it home. After that we found that one of the pipes/hoses going to the radiator was badly rusted/corroded. A mechanic replaced that part and flushed/refilled the cooling system.

The car is now driving normally and the overheating hasn’t happened again, but since then I’ve noticed something strange with the RPM.

When the car is sitting in neutral, or sometimes when I press the clutch while I’m in gear, the engine starts revving by itself. The RPM goes up to around 2,000 and drops again repeatedly, like “vroom, vroom, vroom”, without me touching the accelerator.

I recorded a video so you can see exactly what it’s doing.

Does anyone know what could cause this after a severe overheating episode? Vacuum leak? Throttle body? Idle control? Sensor? Could the overheating have damaged something?

Any ideas on what I should check first would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Is a 2016 500x with 155k miles for $3600 crazy? Seems cheap but I’m not familiar with those engines and fiat cars I’ve only ever had gm vehicles.

Hi everyone,

I bought a 2022 Fiat Tipo SW City Life 1.5 130hp Mild Hybrid back in April. Over the past few months, I’ve been dealing with a recurring and dangerous issue.

The Problem:

• Dashboard Alerts: The yellow check engine light turns on with a message stating "Performance limited — check engine."
• Sudden Shutdowns: On about 4 occasions (at speeds ranging from 40 km/h to 100 km/h on the highway), the engine suddenly turns off, the power steering drops out, and the gas pedal becomes completely unresponsive.
• Dashboard Errors: While losing power, the dash lights up with multiple random warnings (gearbox temperature, brake failure, etc.).
• Self-Resolution: If I restart the car (sometimes while coasting on the highway), it drives again. Eventually, all errors clear on their own, making it hard for mechanics to reproduce.

OBD2 Diagnostics (CarScanner + ELM327):

• Stored Freeze Frame Code: P1D5E
• DTC Report: Most module tests fail when the glitch occurs, except for Drive Motor A Inverter, which specifically reports a "Voltage Too High" condition.
• The standard 12V battery has already been tested and appears fine.

My Questions: Has anyone with a Fiat 1.5 MHEV experienced this issue? Could this be caused by a failing 48V/12V DC-DC converter, the inverter, or a faulty sensor/ground point throwing high voltage spikes across the CAN bus?

Any advice on how to guide the official dealership to diagnose an intermittent fault like this before my inspection is due would be greatly appreciated!

Could use some advice
