I`ve got a multipla 1.9jtd , or rather my other half has for the kids. no jokes please, we`ve heard them all !! LOL its really a great fun car, recently we`ve noticed a deterioration in the performance of the car. it used to be quite a fast and nippy car,(believe it or not). There seems to be no guts there anymore, more often than not, in second gear, when pulling away after a turn I can floor the pedal, and theres nothing for a few seconds (3-5) secs, even then it doesn`t take off like it used to. This is not a problem for my wife, as she says she doesn`t need the power, however I feel that running the car when its clearly underperforming, will do more harm than good and will eventually lead to breakdown when we need it most. I daren`t take it to fiat, they wanted £280 for a basic service, they will probably want a leg this time. Incidentally the car has been serviced recently although not by fiat. has anyone got any ideas what might be causing the problem. mike
