going to look at a multi wagon jtd soon how do i tell if its 80bhp or 115 bhp without looking at the logbook or any documention ??

Mick,
What year is the car? I don't think the 80bhp has been made for ages.
You'll notice by driving as the 80bhp in a multiwagon will be very very slow I would imagine.

You'll be wanting to read the topic below then, the intercooler is the key...

I don't think Fiat continued to make them that late but i'm not an expert.

As ICS19 mentioned the 115bhp has an intercooler. If you look through the nearside front bumper grille I think from memory you should be able to see the intercooler, it looks like a small radiator or oil cooler, is rectangle and about 6 inches wide by 10-12 inches high.
I guess the 80bhp would have a solid bumper grille the same as the offside, ie. no vents in to let the air through.

When viewing, if it is a 115 listen out for a whistling sound when accelerating, if audible inside the carm the intercooler pipe probably has a crack/split and can effect performance.

Hope this helps, Good luck

cheers it is a 115

Excellent,
If you buy it, get it remapped and you'll see around 150bhp which is a drastic improvement and much more pleasant to drive.

Are we going for the understatement award?

You Stilo owners get so excited over 150bhp

how much would it cost ? would it make much difference to mpg ?the loss of power and going from petrol to diesel is going to be quite a shock to the system so any extra power will be a bonus lol

About £200 - £300 and expect a slight degradation in economy.

but the 115 in standard form is no sluggard.

Think you should drive it for a few weeks before you think about mapping it, As argo says its no slug, far from it. I run one and i have great fun and its standard but just gets thrashed most of the time.

ok cheers bye bye mk2b fiat punto 1.8 hgt and hello stilo multiwagon ,pick it up next saturday . 2005 model with 29000 miles
