can anyone help , i've been searching the internet for a haynes type manual for a diesel multipla or some type of microfische for them but i can't for the life of me find anything at all , i find it hard to believe that there's nothing in internet world about them , so if someone can point me in the right direction of where to look because i haven't got a clue as to where to look now , thanks

I would love a Haynes manual on one, could have done with one when I had my 1st multi 12 years ago....
Have had a few workshop manuals off Ebay (CD type) for a few pounds, but I rarely use them, find them frustrating and lacking in detail.
Most of my jobs have been helped specifically in this excellent forum, lots of usefull tips and guides, and all the problems I've had have happened to other lucky multi owners.
But never ever seen a DIY manual on the multi?

As MA says, this forum is probably your best source of information.

It's worth getting a Haynes manual for the Bravo/Brava of the same period as the Multipla, as that covers the engine(s) used. Some have said the Stilo is the one to get as some of the suspension is also shared?

You can also take a look here:

Where there's a lot of useful information, most of it from past experience so is better than what you'd get from a manual.

Does the technical manual not cover what you need?

i did get a general maintenance dvd off ebay from italy but that was as much use as a chocolate fireguard because i don't speak italian and thanks for that website it'll give me a bit of reading to do when i get the kids in bed tonight and it's all quiet , cheers muckers

tried downloading the tech manual but all it brings up is a load of double dutch gobble de gook for some reason

Download all five sections, then follow the instructions here:

You have to reassemble them to form a single file, then burn them to a disc. Be warned though that even when you've been through it all it's not the most helpful of things. A lot of the time you get referred to the official Fiat tools that are made of pure unobtanium and have a price tag to match. It does give you some useful drawings though and outlines the order of works.

Hi fellow multi lovers,
I went thru this saga a couple of years ago.
Getting very frustrated with the lack of help from Fiat, I wrote to Haynes.
They kindly replied with:
"Owing to the limited number of units (Multi's) sold in the uk, it was not a viable exercise to produce a manual."
So, basically, they wouldn't have made enough wonga out of us to make it worth their while.

i think they may have been fobbing you off because i'm pretty sure there's a hell of alot more multipla's on the road than there are ferrari 250 gto's

You're not wrong bud, but Ferrari GTO is probably seen as a more prestige car than a lowly Fiat Multi - (it's all down to class and snobbery)
Do I care, no sirree, they can keep their crappy manuals, I'll can tinker with my ole bug and enjoy it, haha.
