Engine / equipment
Fiat Sedici (Suzuki 1.6 petrol and 1.9/2.0 Multijet)
Period mentioned
2006–2014
Symptoms
Manual gearbox problems. On the 1.9 diesel: limp mode from a clogged EGR, swirl flaps and particulate filter on short trips or long idling, failing alternators, timing belts that break when the water pump seizes, oil pump, dual-mass flywheel and turbo.
Possible cause described
The Sedici is a twin of the Suzuki SX4. The 1.9 diesel is the same as in Alfa, Opel and Saab and shares their problems; Honest John recommends changing belt, tensioner, pulleys and water pump every 64,000 km.
