I have a 2008 Grande Punto, with the 90ps 1.3 Multijet diesel.
Does it have a timing chain or belt ? A search on this site says timing chain, but my local mechanic and the Fiat Australia service book say timing belt.
I only ask because the car although 5 years old it has only done 24,000miles and according to the service manual is say the timing belt should be checked every 4 years.
My mechanic says the belt should be changed, including water pump as the car is now 5 years old, at $1150 (aust) to do the work, I don't want to do it unless I have to, but of of course I don't want to have the belt/chain jump and damage the motor.
