Hi,

I have 91K on my Fiat 500 and was wondering how to inspect the timing belt. I do have the Fiat technical manual but I can't seem to figure out where the timing belt cover is. The manual says remove the engine cover and its right there underneath it. Well In my car Its really just the air cleaner and I looked underneath it and it looks completely different and I don't see the cover. Also not sure where the cover is. Is it on the passenger side or drivers side? (its a left hand drive car)

Thanks,

Dave

That manual could be for the Twinair engine.

My mom has a Fiat 500 has the same engine and it had the engine cover underneath the engine cover is the same air cleaner if you bought the car used then maybe the previous owner took the cover off and if you want to car new then the factory forgot to put on the cover. the cover is not required if you want to buy them they’re like 60 bucks.
 
Right side of engine there is a black plastic cover.
Picture below should help.
Be careful and sapport engine b4 removing the 3 engine mount bolts as engine will rotate forward and will b hard to align the 3 bolts. Screenshot_20200520-030722_Google.jpeg
