is it a spec like SX or ELX etc. As there is a Uno Mk2 1.4 I.E., does this mean its the 1.4 turbo? Or is it just the spec?

General What does I.E mean?
Merged By Louie - LOL we kind of had this one the other week.Edit: The "1.4/70 SXiE" has no turbo - The "Turbo IE" does
Kind Regards,
The "ie" refers to the engine being fuel injected. It's doesn't denote a turboed engine.
Right thats OK, cheers guy's.
Re: WHat does the e in i.e mean?
How CAN you have an 'n' immediately after a 't', and say it properly?! We don't have silly sounds like that in English... or do we... 'lightning', I suppose, is an example. But what is that zero-'o' thing... ah well, you don't *have* to answer all my questions, Mort...
Meanwhile... someone said 'idles erratically'... maybe they should try a carburettor Uno. In fact, I reckon the badges should have marked out the carburettor models as a WARNING...
Uno 60 C (Carburettor)
Uno 70SL CVB (Carburettor with Vacuum Bits)
FIAT Tipo DGT-CVEG (Carburettor with Vacuum Bits and Economy Gizmos)

Now this is interesting... "Einspritzung (D) / innsprøytning (N)", it now looks a lot easier to say 'Einspritzung' compared with that other word!Morty Mort said:Just to add. Remember an old mate owned an Opel Monza GSE. That was 6 cyl 210 bhp monster. A large coupe with bucket seats. With the same digital panel as the Kadett GSI. I guess the model names are different as well. I think the car referred to as a Nova has always been the Corsa over here.
Einspritzung is easier for me as a norwegian to say 10 times after 10 beers, because the words actually translates easily from german. Einspritzung (D) / innsprøytning (N).
Have to work now...

As IE has a cat converter CLEANER DRIVING. Less harmful emissions choking our land :dead:.
OK more to go wrong but look on the bright side
…
More to fix.

Yeah, looking on the bright side, the Cat-equipped cars seem more reliable than carburettor-equipped cars anyway... my Dad used to subscribe to the 'more to go wrong' theory, but I don't!
With the carburettors, you get the same old faults in various different ways - there may not be much to go wrong, but there's always something of a compromise in how the engine runs. I think I must have reset the idle a dozen times on my Uno 60, and that was in just a week! Turn the mixture screw ever-so-slightly, increase the idle speed just a tad - and watch the engine stall at the next intersection.
With the Uno Turbo, hey, the engine just starts and drives off, y'know... it just seems like better engineering to me! Every part of a fuel injection/electronic ignition system can be explained logically - it's just outputs mapped to inputs. Airflow X at Speed Y = Fuel Z (you get the idea)
A carburettor always seems like something of a black art at some point... "oh, the calibrated orifice allows the correct mixture for engine idling requirements" - yeah whatever! It only needs an air leak or a slight blockage and it's all over.
So, 'i.e.' means 'engine properly managed for easy driving' in my experience! My Croma i.e. was great as well. My Tipo DGT (newer) was awful!

:yeahthat: LOL that reminds me of my 903CC Uno days, get the idol right by day, turn headlights and rear de mister on (by night), and engine is nearly stalling.
Re: WHat does the e in i.e mean?
Hehe. German words are somewhat easy to compare to Norwegian, but it is easy for me to say. Phrase of the day: Everything is easy as long as you know what you're doing...
The zero-o. It is a Norwegian letter. Same as the German "ö". If you say "eyh" in like... "eyh, don't take my plate, I'm not finished yet" to a waitress, the letter "zero-o" is pronounced instead of the letter "e". Anything more clear now Alex?

Re: WHat does the e in i.e mean?
Thanks for that, Mort!
So, sprøy is pronounced more as 'spray'? At least that makes sense
As you say though, anything's easy once you know what you're doing. I was trying to give someone directions to a main street in town the other day. To me, it seemed impossible to miss it (I've lived here for 18 years now), but he ended up walking in a giant loop and never finding it!

I found a site that clears this up.
It means Iniezione Elettronica (Italian: electronic injection)
