Hello Guys,
I am attaching the latest manual for the Fiat 500.
Two points i have noticed that have a lot of relevance to this forum.
1) All TA engines should use 0w-30 oil.
2) They now recommend you change cambelt and auxbeltat 60,000 km/4 years if you mainly drive in town instead of just check it like they used to say in the older spec manuals. (this would concern 1.2 and 1.4 owners specifically)
Now personally i changed my cambelt + auxbelt at 75,000 km/3 years. My cambelt and water pump looked fine and could have lasted a while longer in my opinion, but it wasn't worth the risk. The AUX belt was completely knackered and noticeably noisy by then especially on cold start up and power load whilst cold.
