An important thing to know about the 1.4 Multiair engines.

Model: Jeep Renegade 520, MK 1, BU - Years 2014-2026
Part: Engine

In this video, we can see a very important detail to know about the 1.4 multiair engines, represented here by a Jeep Renegade. This issue arose during the Covid lockdowns, but can still occur now. If this engine is left idle for even just a week, the multiair valves, as shown by the YouTuber, empty of the oil needed to operate them. This, while not causing damage, prevents the car from starting or makes starting very difficult. There is a method to recharge the multiair, using a funnel on the cover that needs to be refilled with a specific tool, but it is not a simple system accessible to everyone. The advice is therefore to start the vehicle at least every 2 or 3 days.
