I Have an 06 Multipa with around 15k on the clock I brought this at the end of Feb this year and the Turbo has gone for the third time since I have had the car. with only putting around 5k on the car. Are turbos know fo faults on the multipla

Hi mate, and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!

Firstly, I assume your talking about the JTD? Its VERY rare to have gone through sooo many turbos in soo little time. The turbo on the JTD is normally a very reliable one. I would suggest that there is probably another cause that is killing your turbos, such as oil starvation etc.

Is the engine modified in any way?

What sort of symptoms are you getting? Are there any other faults that you are aware of? Who has replaced the 3 turbos? (ie dealer/independant etc)

Thanks for the info

No Mods on Car and yes sorry it is the 1.9td when it goes it just looses all power. This car does not get thrashed at all my wife drives it so it is driven very well.

In March had a full turbo change the late august particulate filter had a problem but the turbo still sounded a bit off after I had it back and then last night the light came on again I worried that I might have a faulty car

No smoke? Loud noises etc? Have fiat seen the car at all, or is this a local garage. Sounds like it may just be going into limp mode if the EOBD light is coming on. This severely limits you power to protect the engine. Normally problems with boost on the JTD are caused by wet/faulty boost solonoids, stuck/faulty EGR, Or dirty/faulty MAF.

No Smoke just a funny noise when the turbo kicks in. Main dealer replaced full turbo the local independant cleaned the particlate filter but noise still stayed

I would suggest that there's quite possibly an oil starvation problem to the turbo. It certainly should be looked into, otherwise you'll just keep blowing turbos. As I say, normally they are very reliable. To go through 3 in such a short space of time is definately not right.

I would take it to fiat/fiat dealer and explain the history, as this should ring alarm bells with any half decent Tech and they should carry out some investigation into what exactly is causing the turbo failure. This is not normal, and as i say, if its just replaced again, I would expect it to go again as i feel there is an outside fault causing it.
