Posts: 9 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Fiat 1.9 TD reliability With the Fiat Tipo/Tempra 1.9 diesel engine, what is the reliability like?. What things wear out fast aside from the cambelt/engine oil, how long will the engine last before rebuild?. What sort of miles/kms should i expect from the engine, how long will the cam mounted vacuum pump last?. Is there any thing i should look out for?. The engine i have i was told has done about 200.000kms. Thanks.

Posts: 2 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0  | Re: Fiat 1.9 TD reliability I just bought a tempra 1.9 td as well. Mine has 169,000 km. It runs great and is super efficient. But it's really loud when it is cold. It goes away when it warms up. The fiat shop said everybody he'd talked to loved their tempra...

My 1.9 Tipo TD (140,000 miles) engine was strong when I scrapped the car - oil cooler had gone, I had no funds to repair and the milkbottle was waiting in the wings.
