all,
my 09 1.4 dynamique doblo just threw its timing belt and i need to replace the engine...
can you tell me if a 350A1000 type engine from a grande punto be a suitable replacement for the 350A1000 i have?

i have only had it 2 weeks !!

thank you

Hi.
Thats bad luck..

Bearings failing is not uncommon with parked up vehicles

The GP engine is probably compatible.. but you might want to swap sensors to save issues

Sorry to hear, hopefully you can get your hands on a nice one in good condition. Be sure to check YT before you buy a block, lots of tips to watch out for before you buy a block.

Good luck
