Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of the break master cylinder for a Fiat Uno 60D Start 1800 Diesel L-reg?
The problem started when the breaks were slowly pressing down to the floor while I was standing at the traffic lights.
Push came to shove when the MOT was due, so I tried to get a new master cylinder. The scrap yards didn't have the part, fiat dealer couldn't get one. The after marker dealers can't seem to get the part....well get the right one.
The fiat dealer managed to get me the rubber set (overhaul kit)...I bet I paid way over the odds for that though...but I am not ungrateful.
I have taken the master cylinder apart and put it back together that many times that I must have changed something. I know I was an idiot for not taking a photo and writing a description, but I thought that getting a new part would indemnify me from needing a picture and description.
I can't seem to find a workshop manual to confirm that the diagram is actually in the book...... or at least a detailed description.
I think I would be ok assembling a master cylinder but this fiat 60D start is nothing like the run of the mill usual car master cylinder types.
The part has 2 different piston sizes, a whole array of washers and spacers at the circlip side and more complications. The rubber seals seem to be floating on steel locators (on the master cylinder piston). Just to mention the "unusual-ness's" of the unit.
My car isn't the best, but I like it. The rust developing on the body probably doesn't make it worth keeping working, but the car wants to keep running, so I want to keep the car alive and working. Apart from the breaks, the car should be ok going through an MOT.
Any person with a Haynes book that can confirm that the diagrams are in the book. Perhaps better yet, scan and email a copy to me, or photo copy and mail me the copy?
Many thanks in advance.
