Title: Am thinking of buying a fiat doblo
Post by: tom cronin on February 27, 2012, 08:12:01 pm

Had one before for awhile and really liked it, lovely to drive, good on fuel ect, but never used to carry any weight on it. Whos got one? Happy with it? Reliable?

Ive got one on an 05 plate,

Its done around 145000 and drives around 600-700 miles a week,

I dont want to praise it too much as I know what will happen tomorrow if I do.

Was wondering about the 1.3 engine, had the 1.9 turbo, was superb engine and drive.
I was concerned about carry the weightof water with such a little engine?

cool them dpf are a pain, basically you need to drive it at nice highrevs every now and then like 4th gear for 10 mins at 300000 revs to stop them clogging up which is over a 1000 job, also forte now do a product which helps but i havent got any yet. basically diesels are made to be driven some distance to get to certain temps etc
