Hello,
The cambelt on my 1.6L 1998 Multipla broke. Car is stranded more than 300mi from home.
Found a replacement engine from a 2000 Fiat Brava 1.6S . Will it work on the Multipla in a plug&play scenario? As in: everything fits from one engine to the other/direct swap&start?
If no, what are some engine options?
My research shows that the Brava/Bravo/Marea use the same 1.6L engine and same ECU.
From what I've read online, seems to be the same engine. I attached pics of the blown engine and the replacement. Will be ordering oil pump and belt kit if everything works
Two differences I could find were the engine codes (186 for the Multipla and 182 for the Brava but those are correlated to the manufacturer codes, just like Marea is Typo 185 but uses the same engine as Multipla which is Typo 186) and that the intake headers are plastic on the Multipla and metal on the Brava.
