Frequently asked questions
Which Fiat Doblo engine is the most reliable?
1.3 / 1.6 MultiJet (diesel) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The MultiJet diesels are the Doblo's natural choice — the 1.3 (the GM-Fiat 'SDE', shared with Opel/Suzuki) is frugal but works hard in a loaded van; the 1.6 MultiJet is the better-matched, torquier unit. Both are well-proven common-rail engines with the standard cautions: DPF clogging on stop-start delivery cycles, EGR sooting and injector wear. With disciplined oil and some motorway running they're dependable workhorses; the 1.6 is the one to have for regular load-lugging.
