Hello again guys.
Sorry for starting so many threads, but I live in Sweden so this is the start of car season. This time though it's not a planed repair. Today I was driving along and suddenly the engine cut out. A small tilt of the timing belt cover (one broken cover bolt made that possible) revealed a belt that just slid about and fell of the top wheel, leading me to believe it snapped.

From what I understand the engine should be fine (fiat panda 4x4 1.0 i.e.cat 1988) but I have no idea how to time the engine and change the belt, so advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
/Albert

Spotted excellent guide here..should cover it?

Best of luck with the repair

Ah excellent, thank you very much. One more question that wasn't answered in the link. When I go to autodoc to browse for a new belt, I am given two options that both says they will fit my car, one belt with 104 teeth, and one with 125. Which one is the right one?

Hi
I would use the FIAT parts system ePER
To compare part numbers

For general problems:

Using the forums Excellent SEARCH may well save you a LOT of typing..

In 'advanced search' you can specify just panda classic.. or include Uno too

Charlie

I had no idea the eper system existed. Although I can't enter sweden in the country selection step in the first step. Swedens few panda was different spec than the UK.

Yes perhaps I should use search more, I appologise.

No problem

Is the SE panda 'unique'.. or just Different to the UK ?

I like 'fiatdalys' website for accurate parts comparisons.. and possibly more relevant to your region

Charlie

Well no it's not really unique I guess. But mine is a 1988 4x4 1.0 litre i.e. cat. And from what I understand the fuel injected engine wasn't available in the UK in 1988.
Other than that I guess it's kind of unique in the sense of rarity, they were never really sold here and most that were sold have long since died from rust from salted roads.
I don't have any numbers for the normal two wheel drive, but the 4x4 was taken in one year (1988) by one dealership and so the 4x4 was sold fewer than 100 cars, all in white. They are so rare that people don't know they ever existed so it turns alot of heads that's for sure
