Your Opinion on Fiat

[dannycoup]

My 1997 Fiat Ulysse Turbo diesel has broken down again & needs an engine & gearbox change. Knowing that the spares, whether new or 'potong kereta' are very hard to find & also very expensive, would you advise to still proceed with the repairs & face probable headaches again in the future or would you recommend an engine change to a more popular Japanese engine like Skyline ?

All opinions are welcome including tips on what other options, where to source & also price indications.

Thanks & regards

repair the MPV, and sell. get Estima.:D

in my knowledge, Ulysse shares same platform and certain engines with Peugoet 806 and Citroen Synergie (now known as C8). sadly, neither was on sale in our country thus, finding replacement parts are on the difficult side. sorry for you.
