Servicing

[steve powell]

Hi all,

I am going to do a service at the weekend including oil, air and fuel filters. It was mentioned to me that the sump plug on Fiat`s are a tapered alun key type thing can anyone confirm this just so I can make sure I have all the stuff to hand on sunday when I do the job.
Also as with certain diesels there is a special process for filling with oil to prevent the car running on it`s own oil after re-filling does anyone know of any nasty`s like that with the Fiat engine??
Oh the car is a Bravo TD100 on an r plate.
As always any advice much appreciated.

Steve

its a 12 mm allen key steve, pain in the arse cause my set only goes up to 10 mm.
i ended up making one out of a 12 mm bolt and add ing 12mm locking nut the other end with an 11 mm nut to keep it in place(crude but works) or if you not tight as tight as me just buy one mate if you dont already have one..
