General potential Sedici purchaser...advice??

[hebdenwill]

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and looking for a bit of advice! I may be in the market for a 1.9 Sedici 4x4 but was looking for a few pointers before I start. I've had VAG diesels before so am well aware of the importance of cambelt and regular oil changes, but are there any Fiat / Sedici specific things to look out for / avoid like the plague?

I've read cambelts need changing at 90k miles, one I've got my eye on is at 92k (hmm reason for sale lol..) and looks decent all round, MOT history ok BUT it's been seemingly unused for 2 years! and had a couple of EML on in its lifetime. My budget is around 2k so would try and get a bit knocked off and spend the £300 on a cambelt

I appreciate any pointers!

Hi

What age is this one..?

The 1.9 fiat motor is sound.. its what saab:gm used in later years

Off road abuse..and coked.up EGR are the obvious things

Never popular on here.. as a bit 'niche'

Being £2k Im guessing its a late one..


STILO section will give masses of JTD motor info
