Technical Life Span of a 1.3 MultiJet??

[ahmett]

Even with a petrol. I am expecting everything else to break on the Fiat before the engine gives me any grief =)

I am on 145,000 kms on a 2010 1.4 Dualogic.

It's a "how long is a piece of string" question.

Warm it up and cruise steadily at 2000 rpm, 8 hours a day, every day, it'll last forever and a day.

Sling it in a driving instructors car and perhaps it's life might be better measured in days, weeks and months!

I bought a 2004 Fiat Punto 1,3 multi jet from a driving instructor at 3yrs old
85,000 on the clock. Had to replace clutch and front brake pads and discs. I used the car for years always gave 60+ mpg, Gave it to my grandson when he was at university now he wants a Golf! So my daughter has got it. Its now 13 yrs old passed all its MOTs { had to replace e a shock absorber rubber last time !} milage now 135,000. Im sure the engine will do that again no problem. The TRICK Change the OIL every year or 10,000 miles if sooner without fail. Last you a lifetime !!

What have I got now a 2010 Fiat 500 1.2 sport in black. bought 2 years ago just 17,000 on the clock but changed the cam belt and water pump. Servicing is so important if you want a car to last.

My 1.3 multijet had done 205000 miles when I sold it still not burning oil but the original chain won't make it to that mileage

i think you really do not need to worried about 1.3 engine life span. if you are avarage good user, with a little care, it is easy to see more than 300000 miles. but in my opinion after 100000 miles better to update engine mounts

It's not the miles it's the(early) age related issues on the rest of the car
