I FIND MINE IS TO HOT WHEN UP TO TEMP HAD HAVE TO TURN IT DOWN!
ALL BE IT IT'S A FIORINO WITH A FULL STEEL BULKHEAD HELPS,BUT COULD IT BE THE THERMOSTAT MAY BE DIFFERENT IN A FIORINO THAN IN THE QUBO?
IT WAS JUST A THOUGHT, AS THE VAN HAS NO ''INTERIOR'' STUFF SEATS CARPET ECT?

Morning Red Diesel,

Happen thats about right, it where mine sits, half way up the dial. Mine warms up enough for the heater in about 3-4 mile, thought hot air is only achieved after about 9-10 mile, thats in winter motoring with minus 4-5 degrees. No problem in warmer conditions..........

Take care, Qube O.

You would think that if you are not getting enough heat in the car, it can only be one of two things.
A) The thermostat opening to soon, and not allowing the water to get hotter.
B) The heater matrix, could be a slight air lock

When the Vauxhall Nova was first put on the market, they advised in the hand book to change thermostat and gave part No., for those in colder climates.

cheers Ian

Could it be then that there could be a different stat that could be used in the qubo?
During my time at a fiat garage 30 years ago, thermostats were all the same just with different opening times with the temp opening stamped on the stat.

Does anyone know if a aftermarket k&n type air filter would be a good upgrade to the standard air filter? And if anything needs to be done as regards to re-mapping/

Hi Luigi,
Bearing in mind the cost of the K&N filters I doubt if it would be financially worthwhile. You could probably get 10 years worth of the standard Fiat kit for the price of 1, bearing in mind that the Air Filter is only replaced every so many years.........

That said, the K&N is a brilliant filter. Though would the Fiat Tecs actually clean it out, and refit, when servicing your car ??

Good question, I look forward to other peoples thoughts.....

Take care, Qube O

It would be a simple task to clean it my self, but the use of the these filters would be mainly to optimise engine breathing and performance.

A k&n may give a little more bhp

I would like to say again the heater in this car is pure crap / rubbish not much heat for size of cabin to heat back of this car even on not so cold weather heater is so bad all checks done all ok its the heater not enough heat at all .. yes it will heat up but this heat in these car the heater could of done with

I would like to say again the heater in this car is pure crap / rubbish not much heat for size of cabin to heat back of this car even on not so cold weather heater is so bad all checks done all ok its the heater not enough heat at all .. yes it will heat up but this heater is not powerful enough for this car

I can now notice engine is more loose .. Engine done 1,800 so far to date ..

Heater the same give not good heat out to heat this large car

Re: Qubo 1.3 16v Multijet

About k&n filters .. Best way to get more power get it chipped for more power bhp .. If thats what your after

Dualogic gearbox can play up in very cold weather has mine did

Morning Daveukqubo,

Had my Qubo for three winters, never had a problem with the duralogic box...........though I admit it can be slower to select the gears until its got a bit of heat up. Apart from that A1............

Take care, Qube O.

Yes its ok when warm .. i started it cold -5 very slow select .. but when warmed up ok

W O W ... I just found out there is an electric version of the fait qubo for those who didnt know i will put a link to it in next post
