An Important Thing to Know About 1.4 Multiair Engines

Video tutorial

This video highlights a very important aspect of 1.4 Multiair engines, represented here by a Jeep Renegade. This issue emerged during the COVID lockdowns but can still occur now. If this engine is left stationary for even just a week, the Multiair valves, as clearly shown by the YouTuber, drain the oil needed for their operation.

While this does not cause breakage, it prevents the car from starting or makes starting very difficult. There is a method to recharge the Multiair using a sort of funnel located on the cover, which needs to be filled using a specific tool, but this is not a simple system accessible to everyone.

Therefore, the advice is to start the vehicle at least every 2 or 3 days.
