Does anyone have any info on known problems or issues on the 1.25 multijet 90 diesel engine? Theres a chance my son may be given one but he can't afford a money pit or something unreliable.
Car is an 06 punto with 6 speed box. It has had a turbo whilst still under Fiat warranty but apart from that I know very little about it.

Its an excellent little engine, I don't know of any issues with them. I've driven the following cars fitted with that engine; Panda, Punto, 500 & Mito.

Thanks for the reply, having driven the car it goes very well but seems very turbo "laggy" definitely sluggish under 2300 rpm, is this normal? I know its a small engine but not sure if they are all like this.
