Can I use the Fiat 500&Panda guide for Grande Punto engine (1.2 8v 2007.)?
Is it comparable to the other one, for Punto mk2? (in terms of comprehensiveness & quality)
Thanks

Hi,

have alook on the internet. (Google) for a chap called, Sam Naprawiam
his Manuals are spot on Much better than haynes.

I have these Manuals in PDF form,its a shame im not allowed to put them on
here or iwouid,but they are floating around the www. worth alook for them,

Have a look in our Downloads section you can download the full fiat workshop manual

you must download all 8 parts then mount in WINRAR then burn using nero to a cd rom IIRC

Thank you. I already have "Grande Punto eLearn" and it is very useful.
I was looking for something as detailed as Haynes manual. At least for engine.
The rest I can manage. I do not want to spend money on a manual for Pandu if engines are not the same. That's my problem. Fiat Grande Punto by Józef Zembowicz is an excellent book but
(I think) in Polish.

The 1.2 pandas have the same engine. However the 1.2 500 is modified unit with variable valve timing

It depends what Haynes have printed in the manual as to if it will be any use

The haynes covers all three 1.2 8v units, from the early narrow cambelt with manual tensioner, through mid wider belt, auto tensioner (mine) to the later 70hp engine in last of the Pandas and all 500s. Browse Amazon for best price.

Thank you. Now I'm a little more confident to spend money on this.
