Buying Tips for 2008 Fiat Qubo
- Inspect both exterior front door handles carefully; the interior plastic linkage pivot frequently snaps, leaving the door unopenable from the outside.
- On 1.3 MultiJet diesel models used primarily as urban runabouts, confirm that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) warning light is clear and that oil service intervals have not been missed.
- Test the heating and ventilation blower across all four fan speeds; the thermal resistor pack under the passenger footwell is prone to burning out.
- Inspect the front suspension strut top mount bearings for crunching noises when turning the steering wheel at standstill.
- Check both sliding rear side doors for smooth operation and latching; clean the exposed lower guide runners of road salt and grit.
