General Fiat Multipla with 1.8L engine

[HIW]

:worship:

My parents have a Multipla for 10 years now. :slayer:
Not the same, they buy a new car every x years, but the multipla never broke down!

But they say to me their dealer gives them the opinion to put a 1.8L engine in the car, is that even possible? When I search on the internet I only get 1.6L petrol and 1.9 JTD engine. (We've allways had the 1.6L petrol, weak engine)

"When I'm old, and more wealthy than now, I want to have a Multipla too" (or another awesome fiat car)

But the car is amazingly slow, when you floor it, it's still slow. And buying a 1.9 JTD Multipla isn't going to fix that coz diesel engine's don't want to be floored, right?

Thanks for any information, im just 16 so shoot me. I've never ever seen a multipla with 1.8 or stronger engine..
Btw I'm from The Netherlands so my lang is probably a bit worse than yours, sorry for that..

Thanks!

"diesel doesn't like being floored" -- correct. But it doesn't need to be. It develops more power than the 1.6 petrol, and delivers that power at lower revs. It also has much more torque, which means better pulling power on the road. 1.9 diesel is best engine for the Multipla.

Never seen/heard of a 1.8 Multipla -- do fiat make a 1.8 engine?

No such thing as a 1.8 in Multipla. As you say only a 1.9 and 1.6 as far as I know.

Fiat do a 1.8 which is fitted to Stilo and Punto HGT

There are many cars built by fiat/alfa that have engines for certain markets so its not impossible but ive not heard of a 1.8 multi.
The alfa gtv in italy has a 2 liter v6 turbo version because of their tax laws as the alfa 155 has a diesel version but again not sold in this country.

I used to have a 2.2 td toyota previa but they never released a diesal previa into the EU market. You can now get hybrid previa's as well.
