Character

1.3 JTD

"Nemo/Bipper. Fiat 1.3 MultiJet sourced. Same engine as fiat_13mjt. Timing chain. Swirl flap concerns at high mileage. Economical van engine."

TU3 1.4

"15 million TU engines made. Simple cast iron block. Timing belt (not chain). Head gasket can fail on very old units. Incredibly cheap to maintain. 206/207/C3 workhorse. Over-engineered for what it does."
