Well i got the rocker cover gasket replaced yesterday with not problems, as you can see in the pic's clearly where it was leaking from at the front edge in the pic,

Well i striped it down cleaned and replaced it and used some instant gasket sealant on each end of the cam on the corners just to help seal it and i then placed the cover back on and tightened up the bolts and bobs your uncle no more leaks

Cheers Scuderia

Whats next for the Cinq?.

Hi Lagdti well ideally the timing belt next,the car is now 10 years old and when i had the rocker cover off yesterday i took a little peek at the belt and the rubber looks to be in good order with no hard wearing marks about it but i tend to be heavy footed in this car to much fun not to be so i think i will go for it in the next month,

i took the old trusted tape deck out of it today and have a single CD player in the house ready to replace it sometime this week,i took the time today to trace the wire coming from the back parcel shelf to the stereo compartment and seem to be OK,well no joins in then from both sets of front and rear speaker wires, in time i might change them for something newer we will see what the funds are like as i go along ??,all the original wiring loom is still there and what looks like its been hard wired at some point beyond the original block connector so fingers crossed my CD player will plug into either original or hard wired block connector when i come to do it?,

After this i would like to get the car washed and valeted outside and in as well as the engine compartment cleaned up from the oil leak then get it up on the axle stands in the garage and get the wheels off and make a decision to have them reconditioned or not or replace them,but any further than that iam not quite sure whats next after this,god this is fun

Cheers Scuderia

l ideally the timing belt next

Timing belt is like really easy do although if it snaps it wont cause damage to any part of the engine just inconveince of you breaking down, but as you say, 10 years old fiat recoomend you change them 72,000 or 5 years im a bit sad lol does look like a tidy car tho

Hi not that sure if it was a power belt but it was a Gates belt,thats what i have fitted to my Espace 16v last year,good belts well i think so for the money,

Sounds like she did not have much luck i bet she was near ah well the joys of motoering yeah

Nice looking cinq that

As said, belt is no big job on one of these, can be done in half hour to 40 mins. Get over in the cento section and say hi (unless i missed that thread already lol)

Re: My Metallic Blue 1998 Cinquecento 1.1 Sporting

You can gett hem cheaper than that. No kit, AFAIK, for the Cinq, but it really makes sense to do the tensioner at the same time -- they have a very hard life.

As for mods, 14" MOs, Punto GT front disks and white Sei mirrors, of course.

I have 2 imola blue Cinqs.

Hi fingers99 there seems to be that much going on in my head with regards to what iam going to do to the chinqu but iam thinking of saving the original alloys and getting the painted Ford Diamond White and then lacquered???or new wheels but we will just have to wait and see,just out of interest where are you from?iam Up in Scotland,

Oh are the Punto front disc's just a straight swap for the originals on the cinqu??

You have a good taste in cars and colour
