Technical Fiat Grande Punto and Evo Haynes manual?

[everson38]

Hey Guys

I have a punto tjet 1.4 2009.
I was thinking about buying a haynes manual. Now the book says it does not cover tjet, but u was thinking of getting it for such things as alternator belt.change and the transmission, as I was.hoping they are fairly similar and allow me to do such work?

Does anyone know if this is possible or would I be wasting my money?

Thanks

Hi Emmerson,

if it was for me, I would not buy it; you'll find a lot of similarities but also a lot of discrepancies !! I'd rather refer to eLearn which you can download from the net and that covers the 1.4 TJET amongst other GPs...

BRs, Bernie

Hey Berne.

Yeah I quoted you the other day in a post. I just cannot get that elearn to work on my mac computer. I have a post of it I was actually asking if you could see what's wrong with screen shots. So this is why I took this as another option

It's worth it to have all torque settings in one place and for jobs not covered by guides on this site. Alternator belt is covered as is common with other aircon models. The T-Jet is the only one with the c510 transmission, not covered. Anything to do with turbo or induction and IC is also sadly missing as I found out when I had to replace the coolant radiator

I got a soft back copy from eBay for about £5 delivered.

Cheers

Ben

Hi Emmerson,

did you finally managed to get the .iso file rebuilt from .rar segments ?
If so you should be able to burn a CD from that .iso and read it on your Mac using an utility like VirtualBox...
If no, the very first step is to get the .iso file, no alternative !!

Hi Emmerson,

had a look in eLearn procedures regarding your request in PM.

The single belt replacement is quite simple as they describbe it:

- remove sound-proofing cover
- remove turbo air-intake pipe
- remove air-filter assy
- lock the belt tensionner
- remove old belt
- install new one
- refit in reverse order ...

Not describbed: The belt tensionner is spring loaded, so to ease the job, I'd recommend moving it (spanner, crow-bar, plyer...) to get the belt lose and lock it in this place. There seems to be a hole in the block or the support and on the tensionner itself so one can insert a locking pin. Once the new belt is in, simply release the tensionner.

Hey Ben appreciate this! You dint still have link to your ebay fr the book when I type in the haynes manual for grande punto it's about £12.99 + postage. So it defiantly has the alelternator belt job in there? As I would get it simply for those two reasons. Torque specs drive belt change

Not sure how good your local library is, but mine had a copy of the GP Haynes Manual when I looked. Worth a look if you're not sure it's going to be useful, before paying out for a copy of your own

Does anyone has GP Heynes manual in PDF ? :devil: Becuase here I cannot buy it, it's not on our market. I found only some Poland version somewhere in Poland e-shop...but I need Slovak or English version to understand. And eLEARN or ePER are not so detailed...

Are you willing to buy it on ebay and have it shipped to you via that way?
