2018 Fiat Toro problems
The 2018 Fiat Toro was sold with an engine that we have documented: the 1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II. The 1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II has serious faults that affect the cars of that year. Outside the engine, one documented fault affects 2018 cars, such as ignition and injection relays that can switch off the engine (2018 campaign).

What changes compared with the 2017 Fiat Toro
- Score: 6.7 → 6.3
- No longer affected by: engine function linked to the P position not enabled on the Toro diesel (2017 campaign) (rest of the car)
- Starts to be affected by: ignition and injection relays that can switch off the engine (2018 campaign) (rest of the car)
1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II engine in the 2018 Fiat Toro
Names: 2.0 Multijet II 170 CV (turbodiésel)
- With caution
2.0 MultiJet II (120-170 hp, 2008-2024)
120–170 hp
It shares the same weak points as the 1.6 in the timing belt, EGR and particulate filter, with the addition of a turbo and a dual-mass flywheel that work with more torque in the higher-output versions. Recommended with a service history and after checking these components.[4][5]
Faults that affect 2018 cars
- High severityFrequency: CommonEmissions controlSaturated diesel particulate filter (DPF) from incomplete regenerationsIn urban use with short journeys, the particulate filter does not manage to complete its regeneration and becomes saturated; garages recommend a weekly motorway run to avoid it. The filter itself is among the weak points flagged in the 1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II after a certain mileage.
- Critical severityFrequency: OccasionalTimingEarly tensioner wear and risk of timing belt failureYes: the tensioner can lose tension before the official 120,000 km interval, with a flapping noise that, if ignored, can end in the belt snapping and the valves hitting the pistons. Several garages recommend bringing the change forward to around 90,000 km in mixed use.Repair (garage): €420–€550Appears at around 90,000 km
- Medium severityFrequency: CommonEmissions controlEGR valve blocked by soot in urban useYes: the EGR valve builds up soot with urban use and short journeys, which causes loss of power and turns on the engine fault warning light. It is one of the most frequently cited faults of this engine in both the Jeep Renegade and the Fiat Doblò.Repair (garage): €200–€500
- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalInjectionInjector faults and DPF particulate sensor failureIn some batches, a fault in the injection system or in the DPF particulate sensor turns on the engine fault warning light. In the Fiat Doblò, worn injectors or injectors with poor atomisation are also cited as a cause of power loss, higher consumption and black smoke when accelerating.
- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalClutchDual-mass flywheel wear in manual versionsThe dual-mass flywheel on manual versions is one of the weak points flagged in the 1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II after a certain mileage. When it wears it causes vibrations and metallic noises at idle and when using the clutch, and replacing it is not cheap.

Is the 2018 Fiat Toro better than the 2017?
Our score goes from 6.7 in 2017 to 6.3 in 2018. No longer affected by: engine function linked to the P position not enabled on the Toro diesel (2017 campaign) (rest of the car). Starts to be affected by: ignition and injection relays that can switch off the engine (2018 campaign) (rest of the car).
What is the best year for the Fiat Toro?
According to our score, the best is 2025 (10.0/10). The year with the worst score is 2018 (6.3/10). Each year's score counts only the engines sold that year and the faults that affect those cars.
What faults does the 2018 Fiat Toro have?
The most important ones documented for 2018 cars are: early tensioner wear and risk of timing belt failure (1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II, critical severity), saturated diesel particulate filter (DPF) from incomplete regenerations (1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II, high severity), ignition and injection relays that can switch off the engine (2018 campaign) (electrical system, high severity), eGR valve blocked by soot in urban use (1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II, medium severity) and injector faults and DPF particulate sensor failure (1.6 and 2.0 MultiJet II, medium severity).
