Fiat Doblo 2008 - Is turbo the same? Fiat Doblo / Vauxhall Combo 1.3 - Kz13
Hi

I have a fiat Doblo 2008 1.3 (1248cc) multijet, possibly need a turbo. I have also got a 2008 1248cc Vauxhall combo which some people have suggested maybe the same engine and same turbo?

Would anyone know for sure?

Thanks

I’m fairly sure that this is an engine designed by Fiat, which was also supplied by them for Vauxhall to use.

Enter the respective registrations into the ECP, GSF or similar websites and see if the same part number comes up.

It is the same engine, but there were a few different power outputs ranging from 70 to 105PS. Because both of the OP's are similar sized vans of the same age, I'd expect them the have the same output (70PS) and be otherwise identical.

I can't say with 100% certainty that the turbo from the Combi would fit the Doblo, but I'd be very surprised if it didnt.

Does a visual inspection and comparison of both engines not clarify?
