New Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet Turbo – Ref. 822088

What a healthy turbo does for your Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet

Behind the wheel of a Grande Punto fitted with the 1.3 Multijet engine, the difference is felt from the very first metres: crisp acceleration out of roundabouts, no flat spot on the throttle, and a stable idle with no suspicious exhaust smoke. When the turbo starts to wear, this Italian city car loses its characteristic liveliness, fuel consumption rises, and the engine warning light may come on intermittently. Fitting a new turbo restores the original driving feel on this widely used model, whether in town or on the open road.

Compatibility with reference 822088 on the Grande Punto

This new turbo is compatible with reference 822088, which is fitted to certain Fiat Grande Punto models powered by the 1.3 Multijet diesel engine of 1248 cm³.

Before placing an order, it is essential to check the reference printed on the label of the original turbo fitted to your vehicle, as several power variants were used on the Grande Punto throughout its production run.

Common causes of failure on the 1.3 Multijet

On this small-capacity engine that is heavily used in urban driving, the main cause of turbo failure is insufficient lubrication, due to poor-quality oil or missed oil changes. A clogged air filter, a cracked intercooler, or split boost hoses also accelerate premature bearing wear. Driving too hard immediately after a cold start, without allowing the engine to warm up gradually, can also weaken the turbo over time.

Points to check before fitting

Before installing the new turbo, carefully inspect the oil circuit (pressure and cleanliness of the oil lines), the condition of the intake hoses, and the air intake to rule out any contamination. When starting up for the first time, prime the turbo with oil before the initial engine start to ensure immediate bearing lubrication and protect the longevity of the new part on your Grande Punto.
