This thread is making me think I should have spent the $200 on the diesel Golf. Oh well. So is there a such thing as a diesel Fiat engine?

CommieGIR posted:Yes. Yes there is. But if you live in the US like me you'll never see one anytime soon except in Jeeps Nope. live in Australia. I'm just contemplating a horrible bastard child and was curious if the motor is available.

CommieGIR posted:Ah, then chances are you got it. The Jeep Grand Cherokees have a Fiat diesel engine, do they sell the Fiat 500 there? The new one? No idea. Haven't seen one but then 90% of people here either drive a 4x4 or a ute.

Goddamn that brings back memories of being a kid sitting in the cab of a loving huge old Dodge flatbed powered by one of these, travelling all over the place with a full load of bees.

They have to pay the price for having cars which for decades only took a few minutes for most people to pull the engines.
