The Jeep P00 – Petrol (FCA) is a 1,368 cc, inline‑three turbocharged engine produced between 2017 and 2023. It features direct fuel injection, a single twin‑scroll turbocharger, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). This compact unit delivers 130 kW (177 PS) and 270 Nm of torque, with technologies like MultiAir III enabling precise valve control for responsive performance.
Fitted to models such as the Renegade and Compass, the P00 was engineered for urban agility and efficient highway cruising. Its character balances peppy low‑end response with commendable fuel economy. Emissions compliance was achieved through a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) and three‑way catalyst, meeting Euro 6d‑TEMP standards from launch.
One documented concern involves the high‑pressure fuel pump, with potential for reduced fuel delivery under load, as noted in FCA Service Bulletin 09‑012‑21. This issue is often linked to fuel quality or filter contamination. FCA addressed this with revised pump specifications and updated fuel filter service intervals in 2020.
Production years 2017–2023 meet Euro 6d-TEMP/6d standards depending on model year and market (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/FCA/5678).

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for city driving but requires premium unleaded (95 RON minimum) to prevent knock and protect the high-pressure fuel system. FCA MS-12991 (5W-40) oil is critical for maintaining variable valve timing (MultiAir) performance. The GPF demands adherence to correct oil specifications to prevent ash buildup; low-ash oils are mandatory. High-pressure fuel pump longevity is directly tied to fuel filter service intervals (recommended every 60,000 km) and fuel quality, as per FCA SIB 09-012-21. Avoid extended idling to minimize GPF soot accumulation.
Oil Specs: Requires FCA MS-12991 (5W-40) specification (FCA Owner's Manual). Low-SAPS formulation mandatory for GPF protection.
Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP certification applies to 2017-2019 models; 2020+ models meet Euro 6d (VCA Type Approval #VCA/FCA/5678).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Requires 95 RON minimum fuel (FCA TIS Doc. F3A-9123).

The Jeep P00 – Petrol (FCA) was used across Jeep's Small Wide 4x4 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts for the Renegade and revised cooling for the Compass-with no major facelift revisions affecting core compatibility. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold (FCA TIS F3A-8800). The 8th VIN digit typically indicates engine displacement ('B' for 1.3L petrol). Visually, the engine features a black plastic intake manifold with '1.3 T MULTIAIR' branding. Critical differentiation from the 1.4L FIRE engine: P00 has a twin-scroll turbo with a distinct exhaust housing and a centrally mounted GPF. Service parts require VIN verification - fuel system components for pre-2020 models may differ from post-2020 units due to pump revisions (FCA SIB 09-012-21).
The P00's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles using substandard fuel or exceeding service intervals. FCA internal data from 2021 indicated a notable number of pump replacements under warranty for early-build vehicles, while UK DVSA records show no systemic emissions failures linked to the GPF. Extended low-speed driving and poor fuel quality make adherence to service schedules critical.
Analysis derived from FCA technical bulletins (2019-2022) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2020-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
