Fiat Uno

The car that motorised a continent, and in Brazil it stayed in production until 2021 — so an Uno is far more likely to be a South American car than a European one. Flex-fuel is the fact that changes its diagnosis: most Brazilian examples run on any mix of petrol and ethanol, which means the fuel trim adapts across a wide range by design and a long-term trim reading that would be a fault on a petrol-only car is normal here. The 1.0 Fire is the engine most have.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
