At the end of September our Croma MkII 1.9 150 had its annual service (120500km or 75000mls) but also included a cambelt change too. As we live in Italy, Croma's are not uncommon. The Fiat garage bill came to €1315 which we thought a bit steep. Current conversion rates equals £1093. Below is the breakdown and the translation for each component with part no. It is just a matter of interest what other forum members think of the prices. All costs include VAT which is 21% in Italy. Three days after its service we drove to UK and used it there for 9 weeks, arriving back Monday Dec. 2nd doing around 11000km (6835mls) without fault. (Brilliant in fact) Yesterday however, the glowplug warning came on. Our garage made a quick check and all are OK, so its going back next Monday for a diagnostic test. Anyway, apologies for the ramble. Here is the list:
