Can anyone help me with a step by step guide to doing the timing on the Seicento V reg as the timing belt as snapped and i am going to replace it myself but never have done anything like this before..
All help appreciated... thanks.

Welcome to the mad house,

However

Whilst i appreciate this is your first post, you really should have read the rules.

I know, its a real pain, so I'll go gently.

In your signature are a selection of options for you to click on to get information such as you require.

If thats also too much hassle, use the search facility.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm (sound of tongue biting)

Well you need axle stand to allow removal of drivers side wheel (in UK) to remove the inner wing shield, then you will know you need to try the FAQ and guides.

But it is easy with FIRE engines, just dont annoy the crank angle sensor, or its wiring, e.g. it wont like a good thump with a spanner...

if its 1108 engine then its just a case of lining up the marks on the cam wheel and crank wheel

If its an 899 you are in real trouble, its a chain.

Thanks for the image but which pistons have to be at top dead center as when the belt snapped the engine were running at half revs and i think it may have knocked it out of sink..?? it is a 1.1 like you said..! cheers.

No 1 should be at TDC on the compression stroke (both valves closed, cam lobes pointing upwards). No 1 is nearest the timing belt.

You're very unlikely to have done any lasting damage.

I think there's a guide in the Guides............. up top, below the FF banner.
