I have just bough a Marea 1.6 16V. The car has 50000 kms at the clock. When it goes over 3000 rpm the engine roars as loud as hell. Could it be the air filter? Any ideas? Thanks...
 
Is the loud engine noise, a common problem with this type of car?
 
The 1.6 in the Marea is quite noisy ( especially in the automatic ) over 3000rpm but not "as hell". The noise should be a rorty note, like the Cinq sporting. Apparently the other engines are much quieter.

So yeah, someone has changed something or you have a problem.
 
Thanks Cheesemaster, i'm going ti check it tommorow at my local fiat engineer. I hope i fix it...
 
My dear friend, i had the same problem as yours. Too much road and engine noise. But, i found the sollution, which is very simple... I sold the bloody Marea and bought an Opel Vectra... And i remembered how lovely it is to have a sillent car... Marea is crap by any means :slayer: :slayer: :slayer:
 
ever since vectras became the official transport for sales reps its been very hard to drive around in one without people assuming you're a sales **** in a polyester suit, kind of a bmw wannabe that hasnt made it. in a marea people just think you're old and poor. not half as bad.
 
Yes, the only complaint in an otherwise great car. I have found my Marea Weekend 1.6 manual to be a bit noisier than my previous 1.2 Brava, especially over 3000 rpm. After 30000 miles it has settled down, but when it was new it took until about 10000 miles to sound what you might consider 'sweeter'. Just turn up the radio and enjoy driving a car with character!:)
