okay so went ahead and bought all the things for doing the timing belt. I have go the tensioner, belt and water pump.
But upon reading the haynes manual have come across a problem. As mine is the 1.2 8v 55plate it only gives a rough guide as to tensioning and states i should take it to a fiat garage immediately after to get it checked. But for obvious reasons I don't want to do that as it is a pointless exercise. So what do fiat do to check that it is tensioned correctly?
Is there a tool i can buy cheaply or some other way of doing it?
Kind of annoyed i was expecting this to be an easy job i would just risk it and take it as correct but thats not me.
Thanks
