“The trunk does not close well, the washer fluid level is not detected”
Grigory, Magnitogorsk
A year and a half ago, I bought Fiat Albea in August 2008 and, frankly, I did it in vain. It is hard and creaking into reverse gear. The engine is unstable at idle, the needle is stable at around 1000.
Air conditioning problem. Condensate seeps into the cabin. The tech center says that this case is not covered by the warranty. I will repair it myself, and it costs money.
Lubomir, Odintsovo, Moscow region
“The car is six months old. Under warranty, they changed some kind of seal in the engine, otherwise the oil was leaking. Replaced phase sensor. Independently eliminated the flow of antifreeze (weak clamps turned out). Crickets periodically wake up in the cabin (I plug it with foam rubber seals)
Alexander, Yekaterinurg
“Fiat Albea is a good car. But he has poor sound insulation, squeaks regularly come out in the front panel. Upholstery materials are outrageously cheap. In less than a year, the locksmiths have already been five times.
Denis, Bronnitsy, Moscow region
“Albea bought only in the summer. And delighted with her. True, the driver's seat is not very comfortable and the door panels creak. And so, everything is nothing.
Eduard, Nizhny Novgorod.
“Fiat Albea is eating oil. 1 liter per 10,000 km. Total traveled almost 90,000 km. Moreover, somehow the car stood in warranty repair for three weeks (5th gear flew out). Parts were waiting.
Yuri, St. Petersburg.
“I'll tell you straight. Fiat Albea is a shitty car. Weak engine, lousy plastic, creaks like an old hag. At speeds over 110 km/h, the Fiat Albea starts to shake like a seizure. I suffered for a year and a half, sold it and sighed calmly. Yes, books on the repair of Fiat Albea could not be bought anywhere for some reason.
Dmitry, Novomoskovsk, Tula region
“I have been riding Fiat Albea for almost a year. In principle, everything suits. So, different crickets on the front. Yes, the door upholstery gets dirty. You have to clean it regularly. Changed burned out bulbs three times. Under warranty, the failure in the operation of the air flow direction regulator was eliminated.
Svyatoslav, Perm region.
“Claims against the Albea electrician. The high beam headlights burned out, the fan in the cabin somehow failed. Probably the Turkish assembly is to blame "
Ravil, Almetyevsk
“The Fiat Albea has a noisy suspension. Together with the crackling of the front panel at a speed of 120 km / h, driving long distances becomes unbearable. Fuel consumption also differs upwards from that stated in the service book and is 11 liters in the city.
Sergey, Rostov-on-Don
“Fiat Albea is a very economical car. In the city consumption - 7.5 liters. And on the highway, when last summer we went to my mother-in-law Odessa, at an average speed of 90 km / h I managed to achieve a fuel consumption of 4 liters per 100 km. Just do not think that you were not in a hurry to see your mother-in-law. It was just interesting how "Alechka" is not gluttonous.
Changed the front left pillars, eliminated crickets in the cabin. When cornering, sometimes it seems that the car is blowing away. But this is probably my personal troubles "
Milen, Shchelkovo. I have been driving Fiat Albea for 3 years now. The hard-working donkey has already run 91,000 km. The car is just great. There are almost no sores, despite a solid mileage. Now I remember with horror how I suffered with the VAZ classics. Went out of warranty after 30,000 km. The official service is too expensive and of poor quality. Spare parts are already expensive, and at dealers they became just gold. It's good that a book on repair, operation and maintenance has been published. I bought it in the online store and am terribly satisfied.

- a small van, which will be an ideal option not only for a large family, but also for a novice entrepreneur, since the price tag for buying this car in a used version is not high. This car has a lot of minor operational nuances, but on the technical side, these cars are simple, reliable and inexpensive to maintain. But what you need to pay attention to before buying a used Fiat Doblo now and try to find out.
A bit of history:
- front-wheel drive, five or seven-seater minivan class "B", which debuted on the automotive market in 2001. The car is one of the most successful commercial vehicles in the model range of the company "". Doblo is quite rational and incredibly flexible in operation, the car is available in two basic trim levels and several body styles - from a utilitarian all-metal van to a passenger minibus. After restyling in 2005, the appearance was significantly changed for the better.
The upgraded version was recognized as the best commercial vehicle in 2006 according to the following criteria: the largest loading space in the class, load capacity, comfort, ergonomics and functionality. High body and sliding side doors provide a comfortable fit, as well as facilitate the loading and unloading of luggage. Not to mention the good visibility and handling. The main plant for the production of Fiat Doblo was located in Turkey, and assembly was also carried out in Brazil and Vietnam. Since 2006, Doblo has been assembled in Russia at the enterprise " Sollers » in Naberezhnye Chelny. In 2011, agreements between Sollers And fiat were terminated. In Turkey, the car was produced until 2014, sales in the CIS were discontinued at the beginning of 2016.
Advantages and disadvantages of Fiat Doblo with mileage.
The quality of the paintwork of the body leaves much to be desired, a large number of scratches and chips appear in the first years of operation of the car. But as for the corrosion resistance of the body, everything is not so bad in this component, rotten Fiat Doblo is a rarity. When buying, be sure to pay attention to the condition of the thresholds and rollers of sliding doors. Also, check for factory markings on all windows and the condition of the license plates of the body , the fact is that the main part of these cars was imported from Europe, often they are taken there broken, but restored here, and as a rule, they don’t spend much on it.
Power units
Fiat Doblo was equipped with gasoline and diesel power units of varying degrees of forcing - gasoline 1.3 (70, 85 hp), 1.4 (77 hp), 1.6 (103 hp); turbodiesel 1.3 (75, 85 hp) and 1.9 (105, 120 hp). The most widespread in the secondary market are cars with a 1.3-liter diesel engine. One of the advantages of this engine is its efficiency, many owners often joke that the car does not eat fuel, but simply smells it. Also, this motor has an impeccable reputation for reliability. The only thing that owners of a car with a mileage of over 100,000 km face is increased oil consumption. The Fiat Doblo fuel system is demanding on the quality of diesel fuel, and if the previous owner refueled with low-quality fuel, expensive repairs cannot be avoided. Cars with a 1.9 engine are much rarer and only in the Maxi body, which was not officially sold with us, which means that all cars with such a power unit were imported from Europe, as a rule, with high mileage and in very poor condition.
Among the gasoline versions, the 1.4 engine is considered the most popular. As operating experience has shown, this power unit, with normal maintenance, nurses more than 250 thousand km without any complaints. The rest of the engines are also quite reliable, and rarely require unplanned investments. Therefore, if you want a car with a reliable engine, it is better to give preference to gasoline modifications.
Transmission
The car is equipped only with a five-speed manual transmission with cable control. The transmission is very reliable, and in order to "kill" it, you need to try very hard. Clutch service lines directly depend on operating conditions and driving style, on average, it is enough for 70-80 thousand km, if you drive very carefully, it can last 120,000 km. The release bearing, as a rule, starts to buzz after 60,000 km of run.
Salon
The quality of interior trim materials is of very low quality, as a result, after 3-5 years of operation, the entire interior begins to knock and creak. Does not add acoustic comfort and sound insulation, as it simply does not exist here. Despite the fact that the machine does not have a large amount of electrical equipment, electrical problems are quite common. So, in particular, the owners note the quick failure of the horn button, ignition system and power windows. 
Driving performance Fiat Doblo with mileage.
The chassis of Fiat Doblo was specially developed taking into account the specifics of cargo and multi-purpose versions, so it does not have common components with the company's passenger models. A MacPherson-type suspension is installed in front with lower arms mounted on a powerful subframe. At the rear, a dependent spring suspension is installed, supplemented by an anti-roll bar. As operating experience has shown, the Fiat Doblo suspension is quite strong, and if you do not use the car for constant transportation of large loads on a broken road, then it will last a very long time.
Most often, owners have to change the stabilizer struts and bushings, they serve no more than 40,000 km. The ball bearings will have to be replaced about once every 50-70 thousand km, and at such an interval it is necessary to change the anthers of the CV joint. Silent blocks of levers and wheel bearings can withstand up to 80,000 km. Closer to 100,000 km, the shock absorber support bearings begin to die (manifested by grinding and knocking when turning the steering wheel). The shock absorbers are very reliable and run up to 150,000 km on average. The rear suspension is eternal, the only thing that will have to be changed here is the stabilizer struts and bushings, every 100-150 thousand km. It is worth noting the low cost of spare parts, for example, in order to completely sort out the front suspension, you need to spend up to 400 USD. 
Outcome:
Fiat Doblo is a great option for a large family with a small budget for the purchase and maintenance of a car. No one will deny that Doblo has a lot of minor flaws, but you don’t need to spend fabulous amounts of money to eliminate them, and if you wish, you can fix them yourself - in the garage.
Advantages:
- Large salon.
- Load capacity.
- Economical and reliable power units.
- Low cost of maintenance and repair.
Flaws:
- Weak paint finish.
- Lack of soundproofing.
- Rattle salon.
- Rapid wear of sliding door rollers.
Year of issue: 2008
Well, we can draw some conclusions.
Soon it will be a year and 6 months, as I am on it, and not under it.
However, the devil is in the details. And the details are:
Having traveled around the city (found and lost a job in my car), and on the highway, I came to a simple conclusion. The machine, in a sense, was created for a person, but not ours, but a Western one. In other words: you go quieter, you will continue and I will explain why.
Yes, this car can go fast, but it was not originally designed for racing. It was created for a smooth and comfortable movement from point A to point B. I read last year that in the decaying west, young families buy such cars (kids, strollers and other related junk).
The most optimal speed mode on the highway, in terms of fuel consumption, is to keep the speed within 2800 - 2900 rpm. Yes, the speed, of course, will not be the permitted 90 km / h, but less (80 km / h), but a small deviation.
I was going in the fall to go by car to the bourgeoisie. Finland in a nutshell I ran around the sites and I see that their speed on the highway is 80 km / h (and in the city in general 50 km / h) and no, no, otherwise the fine will be such that you won’t have time to shout to your mother. True, I never went to the bourgeoisie. I put everything off until later, but here comes the crisis.
Comparing the above, I see that the car is running, but in their bourgeois speed permits. Here in the city (St. Petersburg) I drive in 4th gear, at a speed of 2000-2200 and it turns out just 50-55 km / h. At the same time, the instantaneous fuel consumption is very nice, and the average, taking into account traffic jams per day, is 8.4 - 8.5l / 100km.
Taking into account the throttle response and high-torque power of the engine, in essence, you can get under way from second gear, and coasting in a traffic jam, even more so. What surprised (pleasantly) in the city you can drive in 5th gear, the engine calmly takes this gear from 55-60 km / h, and there are no jerks and strains, but it’s better to switch from 55 km / h, then the transition is smooth. With greater speed, small, but a jerk.
In 4th gear, you can drive in the range of 35-70 km / h, but it is more comfortable for 50 km in the city in 4th gear and 85 km on the highway in 5th. At what, I will especially note: in the first place - I haven’t traveled more than 80, now if I’m not in a hurry, i.e. I drive alone, then I keep 75-80-85 km / h, and the consumption on the computer (I spread my hands - virtually) as per the instructions, i.e. 6.3 l. (in winter, of course, more, i.e. up to 6.5-6.9l) Of course, for those who like to light on the principle: the trigger to the floor, and I don’t know others - THIS MACHINE IS NOT SUITABLE. But for those who want to come from home and back safe and sound and fall asleep in their bed (Shchyutka. Bambarbia kergudu), I think this vehicle should be considered.
In general, sitting in this car, both in the city and on the highway, I don’t want to go fast, on the contrary: to go and contemplate. There is no feeling of resentment that you are overtaken on the highway by all and sundry. The midge flies fast, but lives a little, and you, like a detailed beetle, fly yourself slowly. Yes, and when you are overtaken, they go ahead, therefore there is less strain, the road in front of you is always free.
Road holding is very confident. Visibility - you can't imagine better. Low beam and high beam are excellent, but I would now say a little differently. The dipped beam is very good, but the distant one is not very good, i.e. the lighting is good, but it differs from the near one, but not much.
Exterior mirrors, especially the driver's, allow you to see how the rear wheels rotate and even see the reflection of the backlight backlight. Parking in reverse does not present the same difficulties as before. Dimensions here, well, you just feel it and that's it.
According to the passport, the car has a carrying capacity of 600 kg (500 kg of cargo and 100 kg driver). And I loaded it according to this very passport and even more (28 bottles of water, 19 liters each) and the infection goes, and at least henna. Now the truth has found a job and the car is no longer used.
Transportation of long items is best on the roof, but I advise you to have a small ladder in the trunk, since there is room there.
Comfort suits me perfectly. The plastic is hard, so what. A car for driving and transporting, and not for relaxing and sleeping on a dashboard.
Likes: door pockets and a huge overhead shelf the width of the cabin. I have discs there, and a first aid kit, and all sorts of rubbish.
But after all, there must be shortcomings, omissions and harmfulness, this cannot be. I'll be glad, they are darlings. Eat!
What drew attention and then by accident. When closing, the side sliding door hits the front door and as a result the paint on the sliding door (uppermost corner) is knocked down.
Replacing candles. You can replace them yourself, but so hemorrhoids. Candles are located between the engine and the cab. But that's not all, you need to remove the plastic casing, but as the master at the service station warned me, you need to remove it carefully, because. the casing has tubes that must be disconnected first and very carefully.
The hood does not fit snugly on the right side and this is a factory defect. Dust flies under the hood.
The backrest of the front passenger leans back only and the head restraint is not removed (this is in the case of transporting dynos).
The glove box is small. Only the instruction manual for the car fits there, well, put the gloves on and that's it.
Decisively lacking washer right rear hinged door.
Hooks for clothes in the cabin are inconvenient.
Lack of literature on repair.
If you need bodily comfort, carry a lot (family, dog, harvest, garden equipment) and hurry slowly - take it, you won't regret it. I am satisfied.
Before that, there was a VAZ 21083 and 2111 - crooked grandchildren from a grandfather from Turin (Italian Automobile Factory from Turin). Sold and converted. We, MY MOTHERLAND, make weapons well, this is very pleasing - The death of NATO and their henchmen in the form of our Lada and roads that exist in the Amur Region.
The Fiat Stilo golf-class hatchback, which was born in 2001, was designed to save the long-suffering Italian company from the crisis in which it found itself in the late nineties of the last century. But sales of Stilo did not go. Although it was distributed throughout the countries of Western Europe in a fairly large circulation, the Italians clearly counted on more. But for those who are looking for an inexpensive used car, the Fiat Stilo is definitely worth a closer look. Other things being equal, the Italian hatchback costs less than its main competitors. But what about reliability? Let's figure it out.
Fiat Stilo has no problems with corrosion resistance. If the car has not been in an accident, then you are unlikely to be able to detect rust spots. Although this does not mean at all that they will not be in the future. Like it or not, but in terms of protecting the body from corrosion, cars from Italy have never been ahead of the rest. The same can be said about the build quality of the cabin. Finishing materials in the Fiat Stilo, although quite high-quality, but on most cars, interior plastic begins to creak a little over time. So after all, most of the competitors of the Italian car are not without this drawback.
But in terms of the number of problems with the electrician, Fiat Stilo is significantly ahead of most of its classmates. And it's not to say that these problems arise due to the unreliability of certain nodes. Most of them arise due to problems with electrical connectors. Because of this, for example, an indicator light may suddenly light up, indicating a malfunction of the airbags. So before buying a Fiat Stilo, check the work of all electronics, and there are quite a lot of them on the “Italian”, check with special predilection.
There were quite a lot of gasoline engines for the Fiat Stilo, but in our market most often only the most popular power units are presented. There are not so many problems with them, but they are still not without weaknesses. The main disadvantage of a 1.8-liter gasoline unit is that the valve timing controller fails too quickly. With a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, the problems are different. In it, most owners have to change high-voltage wires and ignition coils. Also, after purchase, be sure to check the health of the cooling system sensor. Often, it is because of it that failures occur in the operation of the cooling fan. Well, the most reliable and unpretentious can be called a 1.4-liter gasoline engine. But you can’t count on dynamic movement with such a modest power unit.
Quite often, diesel engines can be found under the hood of the Stilo. They are quite reliable. Every 70 thousand kilometers they will have to change the belt in the gas distribution mechanism. Also, if you buy a car with very high mileage, be prepared to replace the injectors, thermostat, and turbocharger.
Most Fiat Stilos have a manual transmission installed. And it is she who is the best choice for this car. There are usually no problems with it. But from the famous "robot" Selespeed, which was installed on the Fiat Stilo with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine, it is better to immediately refuse. You will not get much pleasure from driving a car with such a gearbox, and its repair is very expensive.
The suspension of an Italian car is nothing complicated, therefore, it will not be necessary to repair it so often. Most often you will have to change silent blocks and stabilizer links. Well, with high mileage, be prepared to fork out for a set of new shock absorbers.
The steering of the Fiat Stilo is quite reliable. Some kind of global breakdowns, which will require huge cash injections for their elimination, it should not upset. The brake system of an Italian car should not present unpleasant surprises either. Most owners only think about it when it's time to change the brake pads and discs.
So the Fiat Stilo isn't that scary after all. Naturally, the Italian car is very far from the leading positions in the reliability rating, but there are no unambiguously weak points in its design either. Rather, Stilo will strain you not with major breakdowns, but with small “sores”, the elimination of which will take time, but not a lot of money. If that doesn't scare you, then the Fiat Stilo is for you. For little money, you will get, albeit not the most reliable, but well-equipped and still stylish European car.
1988 - 1996 years of release
The level of quality and reliability of these vehicles depends on the year of their
release. The impression of the appearance is very good, but in cars
1989-1992 possible clouding of the red paintwork
colors after four years of operation. In the Tipo model 1989-1993. water
can leak through the windshield seal, which is often why
the fuse box under the
front panel. The first attempt to rectify the situation was made in
1991 (higher quality gasket insert). In cars
1989-1991 due to poor gluing of the trunk seal, it is possible
ingress of water into it (the situation has partially improved since 1990), and in
Tipo models 1989-1990 too weak door locks.
The quality of the salon and its equipment as a whole can be described as
"slightly above average." The salon itself is wide and spacious, and in the model
Tipo the available width is not fully utilized; she's like
"uninhabited" and exceeds the width of similar cars of this
category, hence the impression of spaciousness and convenience, especially on
front seats. Tempra has a classic trunk good
capacity. And the station wagon version is very functional throughout
volume; tailgate very practical: double opening
provides maximum access to accommodate luggage.
But, despite the above advantages, the interior trim is unimportant,
the noise level is high, especially in diesel versions. Dashboard
vibrates noticeably in cars of all years of manufacture. Position
improved since 1990 and then since March 1993, i.e. during
appearance upgrades. As for the interior equipment, in these
machines do not have luxury versions, but the main types of equipment
are present in versions S, AGT, SX and DGT, which distinguishes FIAT Tipo
from many competitors. The driving position is far from
perfection, and the contour of the seats makes him sit straight all the time,
not being able to lean on the door. All cars rattle
seats, there is play in their sled. The situation improved somewhat after
March 1993. Finishing elements are of poor quality pasting and
packing, weak fastening. The situation has somewhat changed for the better since
1990 and then from March 1993
Suspension in a car, as they say, is not very, but still better than
previous FIAT cars. Road holding is good, especially
petrol versions. In the Tipo model 1989-1990. with 1.4 liter
engine noted a number of cases of failure of shock absorbers. IN
1989-1993 vehicles with power steering
hydraulic booster, in some places there are leaks of the working fluid
due to poor tightening of the hose clamps during assembly
(removed as of March 1993). And in the Tipo model 1989-1992. fast
the tires of the rear wheels are deformed.
The engines installed on these machines have poor technical
characteristics, high fuel consumption and sensitivity to its
quality (especially for gasoline versions). Diesel units
also do not shine with their qualities, with the exception of the version with
turbocharged. In cars manufactured in 1989-1993. with engines
volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, there were several cases of failure
fuel pump, in the Tipo 1988-1989 model. - fuel leak from
rubber fuel line. The cars were later recalled locally
sale for troubleshooting. Rubber hoses replaced
fabric-coated hoses.
In cars of 1994 and the first releases of 1995 with 1.4- and 1.6-liter
engines and exhaust gas catalyst have problems with
coolant temperature sensor, malfunction may occur
power unit. Problem solved in November 1993 by installing
a new gasket (metal but rubber coated) between
sensor and cover body.
In cars 1989-1993. with a 1.6-liter power unit, there is
oil leak at the cylinder head gasket (repaired since March 1993,
and until that time, the gasket had to be replaced every
15.000-25.000 km run). In addition, there is oil leakage
crankshaft rear oil seal after approximately 45,000 km. IN
cars 1993-1994 excessive oil consumption due to
piston rings (problem solved in September 1994). In cars
1991-1992 with 1.8-liter engines there are failures in operation
power unit at low speeds (the problem has been fixed since July
1992 by replacing nozzles), and in cars of all years of production -
significant oil consumption. Increased oil consumption is also noted and
in cars 1989-1994 with diesel and turbodiesel engines
volume of 1.9 liters (problem solved since January 1994 by installing
other types of piston rings).
In cars 1989-1992. slight leakage of fuel from the injection pump is possible.
The first attempt to eliminate the defect was made
manufacturer in 1992, and since June of the same year, the plant began
install another injection pump. In cars 1989-1991. with turbodiesel
1.9L engine has a weak head gasket
cylinders. The first attempt to rectify the situation was made in 1991
but the result was poor. The problem was finally solved in
1992 by changing the gasket, as well as by improving
engine cooling. In cars 1989-1992. can fray
rubber hose going to the oil cooler (problem solved in
September 1991). In the Tipo model 1989-1991. a leak occurs
coolant from the cooling system (fault corrected at
factory since June 1991), and in cars 1989-1990. —
vibration of the exhaust system elements (eliminated in 1991 by installing
new muffler - stainless steel).
Many problems arise with the gearbox, especially in cars,
released before the modernization of the appearance (until March 1993). Yes, in
cars 1989-1993 often there are box failures by the time
approx. 80,000 km (disappeared after March 1993), oil leak
on oil seals (the first attempt to solve the problem was made in March
1991, and the problem was completely solved in March 1993:
double shoulder seals).
In cars 1989-1992. Difficulty shifting into first gear
reverse gear (eliminated since 1992 by improving the processing of gears).
In cars 1989-1991. bad synchronization of the third gear is noted
(improved in 1992 by installing a new synchronization ring).
And in cars 1989-1992. there have been several failures
synchronizers by the time of running 100,000 km (from July 1992 to
new synchroniser retaining rings are installed). In TD version
release 1989-1991 differential is unreliable, cases of rupture are noted
housings of the axes of its gears, jamming of the entire mechanism (situation
changed at the factory in March 1991 by improvement
processing the parts of the assembly and installing new washers on the axis of the satellites).
In addition, there are many shortcomings and malfunctions in
electrical equipment. In cars 1989-1993. failures may occur
in the operation of the central lock (the first attempt to correct the situation was
undertaken in 1991, the second - in March 1993), electric motors,
contacts and power window control buttons (attempts to improve
position taken by the manufacturer in October 1990, February 1992
and March 1993). In the 1993 Tipo 3-door, bad
front wipers work, and in cars manufactured in 1989-1991.
wiper control buttons often fail (problem solved
in April 1991 by installing new buttons).
Wiring harnesses in the Tipo model 1988-1991 breaks after 3-4
years of operation, as a result of which the rear of the car remains
without power supply. Not working: rear window defroster system,
glass cleaner and washer. Defect fixed in October 1990
g. In cars 1989-1993 Difficulty adjusting the air conditioner
(it is constantly violated), it is impossible to fine-tune
temperature. The problem was solved in 1994 by improving the electrical
connections in control circuits, including the air temperature sensor in
cabin, and by replacing the electronic control system. In all cars
years of production are possible: the occurrence of malfunctions of the speedometer,
indicator lights come on. Partially the situation has improved since 1990, and
then - during the period of modernization of appearance. In the Tipo DGT version,
failures in the readings of the liquid crystal indicator (extinguishing of individual
segments), and in all cars - a quick burnout of the rear lamps
lanterns.
WHAT TO PREFER?
Version 1.4 is the least powerful, but it also has the lowest price. Version
1.6 is the faster version. It has an 83
hp (with a catalyst - 75 hp) and has been produced since 1993. Version 1.8
i.e. has much better performance. Especially when it comes to
cars produced after March 1993, when cars started
install a new gearbox control. 1.9 D - "modest", but
and cheap diesel. It has a serially installed power steering.
When buying a 1.9 TD version, it is better to look for a car made after 1992:
he is more reliable.
