Hi Peeps

Hope everyone is well,

The Cam has gone on my HGT and am looking in to getting a second had engine, Does anyone know if a Stilo 1.8 16v engine would be a straight swap ??? or if any other full engine will fit ?

As seem to be really struggling to find a HGT engine unless anyone knows of one about ???

Also My car is X-reg with engine number 183a1.000 am i right in thinking that a 2005-reg with engine number 183a6.000 wont fit ???

Many many thanks in advance for any help.

Raf

I have the same problem, did not want to start a new thread.

I can confirm that Lybra 1.8 engine WILL NOT fit, this was tryed by my mechanics.

I just cannot find an answer anywhere if Stilo 1.8 engine would fit? Can anyone confirm it?

look on this thread, https://www.fiatforum.com/stilo/219907-fiat-stilo-1-8-engine-damage.html
a thread says:


'''Thats a fair bit of damage you don't have much choice
other than to drop in another engine or scrap the car.

Either another 1.8 from a stilo or from a HGT punto
and keeping the original electronics.'''


might of answered your question

Well, reading through the forums for couple of hours now i'm under the impression that these cars have same engine:

Fiat Barchetta <-> Fiat Stilo 1.8 <-> Fiat Coupe 1.8

The problem is however, that no one actually did the swap. Everyone is just guessing that "yes, it should fit".. that way i got the Lybra engine, it wont fit, will have to return back to seller and waste half day again..

I just want someone to confirm "yes i put stilo engine into hgt and it works" or "no, i tryed and it wont go in"
