Technical Tipo 1.9 DT Manual

[Fast Finger]

Hi all, first post here so go easy on me

Ive just baught a Tipo TD 94 and have to do a bit of work on it first.

It needs the front sub frame changing (got one to go on), brake pipes at the front and a couple other small things.

The problem is i cant find a manual anywhere. All the ones ive tried on this site dont seem to work for me and after spendig hours on search engines i am none the wiser.

If other tipo manuals will suit my needs (as i presume the majority of the car will be the same/similar) any manual will do me.

Please help. Im good with my hands but dont have much time as i have just sold my other car so need this one up and running pretty soon and hope that a manual will give me a headstart.

Any help here will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Mark.

P.S. Is it common for the bottom half of the engine block to be covered with oil?, do they have a common problem with this??

Surely someone must be able to help me.
Im buying the car off my brother who has already started tho work on the car but does not have time to fix it. This is where the problem lies, changing a part on a car is easy as you can just "reverse jigsaw" it if you know what i mean. But as he has already started i dont know what he has already done to it and ive never worked on a fiat before.
Please help before i break something.
Cheers.

could try ordering one from fiat, probably cost you a tenner, but its cheaper then breaking something expensive

Very true indeed.
Well i just managed to get the sub frame off without the manual and also without releasing the ball joint's which i was told i would have to do.
Only problem now is the new one is in my brothers van and no one seems to know where he is, not even which country.
Bugger!

What are the dimensions for the stud patterns for the Tipo.
I have three sets of alloys, all old (ive had them about 10 years), all corroded(which i dont mind as im going to go black) all from some unknown source.
They are 4 stud but without my car here (half way through sub frame change) so i thought if i can find out which will fit ill start cleaning and colour changing.
So if some one would be so kind as to enlighten me please.
Many thanks,
Mark

Tipos are 4x98 PCD, as are most Fiats/Alfas/Lancias. I've not managed to find a manual for the later Tipo full stop, let alone the TD!!
