I think I tried to give you some details before when you just got the truck and you had photo of it at a fuel station, but it is not a common model around here.
The 178F is what I was trying to go by and all I had in my Autodata manual for 2012 was for a 178B engine in a different model.
I will post the details I have, but maybe someone else on Forum has more specific data.

Many thanks mike,
This specific model 178F which I have was manufactured in Brazil, parts here in South Africa is not easy to get for these models. I just ordered the head gasket set from the local Fiat agents in Cape Town, apparently I have to wait for 3months for it to arrive from overseas somewhere. Last month the Fiat agents told me the Behr radiators for these models are discontinued, so I modified a radiator from a different fiat model with very similar specs to fit in mine. I ordered so many alternator/power steering belts and other parts before, but strangely nothing fits on this model. Surely the head torque settings of all the Fiat 1.4L Fire engines should be similar?

Hi Hennie, you don't perhaps know where the Engine Number is located, my dad passed away and his bakkie need to go for roadworthy to be transferred into a new owner name, but the traffic dept can't find the Engine Number, and won't pass roadworthy without?

The engine number may be stamped on the end of the block just above the gearbox bell housing just below the head. Pig to find if you did not know.

Hi everybody,

I am a new member. Can anybody help me with the torque settings? I have a 2010 Fiat Strada 1.4 pickup. I need the cylinder head, big ends and cam shaft settings.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Is this any good?
It's from a 2012 AutoData Manual but presumably later versions were not sold in this country so only up to 2008 and 1.2i. Try and confirm with other sources to be sure. If you have the engine series number it may help to cross reference to another model using the same engine.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the information!

The engine is the 178F5038. The 178B can be found but not the 178F. It always seems to be absent from manuals. A local technician also confirmed this.

I am not sure but I read years ago the that engine used in the Strada is very similar to the Punto engine. Just some useless information...

Same as you , I can find 178B fitted to Fiat Palio Weekend and Siena models up to 06 but nothing on a 178F in my AutoData manual which goes up to 2012. Sorry.
Maybe someone else on Forum can help.
