[@justsomeone89]

Fun fact... even dealers 'dont know' this and will never find the problem untill you buy a new car from them. There is sometimes also one in a different spot which also clogs up and creates problems. Also not many mechanics know about those. Twinair is just fiats version of vtec, but a lot more complicated.

[@walterhankin46]

My naturally aspirated fiat has 163k now, still going strong and only just now on its second clutch. 2.5k-4k mi oil changes are the answer to most of the fiat reliability problems, but that multiair filter is HELLUR important!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Spollekop]

The multiair engines are pretty reliable as long as you pamper it with service. Use the prescribed oil type, short oil intervals and change the multiair filter regularly. Don't forget to get the timing belt done I time. Every 80k miles I think. When changing timing belt also replace the water pump with a genuine replacement pump. They don't fail that often but it's a fairly cheap part and is cheap to replace when the timing belt is already off the car. It's a lot more expensive to replace when it fails later.

[@johnathangreay987]

Thanks man. You badass kickass mechanical person you.

[@rfvc600r]

It won't fix the issue, it'll still have the same problem. Source: I've been driving an Abarth for 6 years. These engines must be daily driven or pretty close to it because sitting is what causes problems, cold temperatures exasperate it. You also can't use shity oil. It has to be 5 w40 and you must change it when the light comes on, most people don't Best solution is after the car sits for awhile, "clear flood mode" and crank that little engine for about thirty seconds to build up the oil pressure. Also, if these car sit for too long they will crank like they have no compression, just keep on cranking and it'll fire up once up multiair brick is full of oil and hydraulics are operating The reason why the variable valve system has a filter is because it's a true variable valve system. The valves are hydraulically operated, lift is calculated stroke by stroke.

[@jessebrook1688]

All of the engines that run variable valve timing (or in this Fiat's case, valves) with oil pressure need regular oil changes and ALL filter changes.

[@robertgardner6353]

I used to work at a Chrysler fiat dealership those dam things came off the truck broken wood take us 20 minutes of cranking them over ( not all at once didn't want to have to do a starter) to get the oil up to the Electric Lifters to get the damn things to run

So I've got to kno since I'm hoping to go back to college to get my degree as an A.S.E certified mechanic. What's it like to work on a vehicle such as a Fiat? How is it's mechanics compared to a BMW or Mercedes? Are they similar or way off the charts? I've had done some work on foreign vehicles such as a tiny triumph car my friend could pickup one corner of the car and lift it high enough I could place a jack stand under the axels so he could work on it. The even had an Unimog? I believe that's how it's spelt. It's made by Mercedes 4wd WW2 Ambulance. The gear shift system is very odd it has a clutch yet the the gear shift lever moves forward and backward I swear it true. No joke I even asked him how in the fuk can you shift if it can't move in the H pattern. He explained it but I forgot besides it would have been nice if he could show me how it actually works yet sadly she wasn't drivable.

[@richardbrowne3641]
