I got my car PB11AK 0780 serviced on 24/01/2011after 108452 Kms for
normal routine service with Oil filter change, Brake Pad set, Fuel Filter, Air
filter, other standard checks, (Job card No. JC-GoyalM-RJ[protected]
I was on my way to Sirsa on 2nd Feb 2011 and my car got breakdown, I called up
your nearest dealer Mehta Motors - Bathinda and got the car checked and they
told us that oil filter is damaged due to oversize and needs replacement which
they did by replacing engine oil and oil filter ( but car didn't run and it was
told that due to non standard product used by Goyal Motors oil filter got
damaged and its broken parts have entered into engine and engine got damaged)
I requested goyal motors to check the car and they told me that they will check
the car and get the same repaired at the earliest, they bought the car from
Mehta motors and started repairing it and told me that turbo has malfunctioned
which is quite normal in Palio stile model of Fiat. They have repaired the same
fault for more than 5 cars and 6 cars are under repair for the same fault pan
Punjab,
I think i have been ditched by selling a car which is having a in built
manufacturing defect and you need get your engine overhauled anytime b/n 75000
KMs to 125000 kms.
Request you to get this manufacturing defect removed at assembly stage/
Manufacturing stage and repair my car as goodwill gasture
Thanks and Regds

there is a problem with the hose of the Turbo air inlet. the clamp that holds the air-inlet hose to the turbo assembly is originally a spring-tyoe clamp. this clamp has the possibility of coming off easily and it allows dust to enter the trubo-unit.
it happened with me at only 7000 kms (Stile SDX) and the entire turbo-unit siezed (pieces broke and it jammed). the broken pieces entered the engine and #4 cylinder siezed (jammed). the entire engine with turbo unit, costing about Rs. 2 lacs (with labour) had to be replaced.
initially fiat tried it's best to put the blame on me, till one engineer friend fought for me and proved to fiat that it is a manufacturing defect.
fiat, after much fight, accepted it's defect and replaced the engine and turbo unit at their cost. the clamp has now been replaced with a screw-type clamp (instead of the spring-type) and a notification issued to replace all fiat diesel units with this type of clamp.
you probably faced same thing with the other 11-cars also you mentioned.
hope this helps.
