Rather than being model specific I thought I'd reach out to anyone who has owned a fiat with the 70hp variant of the mjet engine.

got an issue, when cold there is a really bad engine rattle whilst moving off, this happens until the engine temp gauge to around 2/3 of the way up

It also only happens when driving steady, if i drive with a heavy right foot it does not happen.

the noise is a brief but loud rattle 'rrrrrrrrrr' lasting a few seconds at around 1200 rpm.

from what i can gather its most likely a combustion rattle from the derv timing, but i dont think its right.
otherwise the engine is perfect, great on fuel and otherwise very good.

any others got anythin to add or offer ?

cheers

It's called "having a cold engine". ;)

I do agree it is a cracking little engine. much better than I anticipated when I test drove a GP with this engine. The 1.9MJ that I was to test was crashed that morning just before I got there. A blessing really!

How old is the engine? how many miles has it done?
