Re: hi

When should I change the cam belt and chain

There is no chain on the 1108. Timing belt is given at 105,000 kilometers, valve clearance check at 30,000 kilometers.

Little owner's Manual/Handbook and humongous factory workshop manual in the Downloads section.

Re: hi

Sorry. Cos the cluch isa bit hard to pit in to gear. Especially reverse it crunchs. This cluch thing is doing my head in I phoned national auto. And there saying it the c526 what gos in my car for def

Who the FCUK are national auto?

If it has detente, it's a 514 box. You can peek along the driveshaft. If you can see a whopping great boot which attaches to the differential itself, it's a wet shaft box, C526. If you can see a CV joint which joins to a cup, it's a 514.

Ask fools, you get foolish answers................

Re: hi

Re: hi

Make sure he replaces the cam belt tensioner at the same time. They take an aweful lot of stick.

The price is suspiciously cheap. Be very careful.

Re: hi

Yea he is replacein the tensioner. I hope **** all eles happens to the car. Only had it a month.

Re: hi

Well, you're replacing some stuff which probably doesn't need replacing. Not fair to blame the car.

Re: hi

Sorry. Because the clutch is a bit hard to put in to gear. Especially reverse it crunches.

Did you try adjusting it first?

Re: hi

hi

Havein murder try to change the cluch cable thoe. What's the best way to do it. On fiat seicento sportin. Only doing the cable. To see if that's all it is first. That's what the guy suggested. Try that if it's not the cable then do the cluch. 30 pound to fit cable. And 80 pound for cluch if it is the cluch.

Re: hi

Passenger seat out, lie on your back. Maybe release the bottom of the dash if you have really big hands.

Re: hi

Your Member's Motors threads have been merged and moved to the correct section. In future, all queries should be posted here, Member's Motors is meant to be a place for maintaining a build log and showing off pictures of your car, not for technical assistance.
