In short you can't change the bushes on a Seicento rear arm, the design simply does not have provision for pressing the old bushes out and you can't purchase bushes for this purpose except from specialist poly-bush suppliers. It is substantially easier and more cost-effective to just replace the arm as a unit. If you do choose to replace the bushes you will need to cut/drill the old ones out and be prepared for a fight as it really isn't easy to do. The inner and outer bushes are identical.

To set the timing on a Fiat Ducato 1.9 van, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys according to the manufacturer's specifications. After confirming the alignment, secure the timing belt or chain, and double-check the alignment before reassembling any components. Finally, rotate the engine manually to ensure everything moves freely without interference.

To fix the horn on a Fiat Ducato 2-liter, you typically need to access the horn, which is usually located behind the front grille or near the radiator. You may need to remove the grille or certain panels to reach it. Check the wiring connections and the horn itself for any damage or corrosion. If the horn is faulty, it can be replaced with a new one, ensuring proper connection to the electrical system.

To dismantle the cylinder head on a 2001 Fiat Palio 1.2 ED, start by disconnecting the battery and removing any components obstructing access, such as the air intake, exhaust manifold, and timing belt. Carefully unbolt the cylinder head, starting from the center and working outward in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping. Once the bolts are removed, gently lift the cylinder head off the engine block, taking care to avoid damaging the gasket or surrounding components. Finally, inspect the head and gasket for any damage before proceeding with repairs or reassembly.

Fiat retained the 1.2 8v engine for its combination of reliability, cost-effectiveness, and fuel efficiency. This engine provides a balance of performance suitable for urban driving while keeping maintenance costs low. Additionally, its simplicity in design allows for easier manufacturing and servicing, making it an appealing choice for budget-conscious consumers. Overall, it aligns with Fiat's strategy to offer practical and economical vehicles.

A Fiat dealer can give you an owner's manual. The owners manual should outline what each warning light indicates and its function.

First, thing to do is run the car for 5 min's lets the oil get nice a warm, so it flows better. Second, jack up front of the car. Use axle stands to secure vehicle while working on it. use a sump key plug should be 12mm or 10mm. Next put the drain pan under the drain hole. undo sump plug let old oil drain into drain pan on floor. Then tighten drain plug finger tight and then 1/4 turn. Next move onto the oil filter use a filter strap to remove it. On the new filter use a bit of oil on the new oil filter seal...then spin it on and tighten it hand tight ...don't use any tools. Next the easiest part use look at your owners book it will tell you the amount of oil you need to use. on my 1.9jtd its 4.3 liters. Now here the trick measure out only 4 liters, let it settle. turn the engine on run for 2-3 mins check for leaks. If everything is good drop the car on a level surface. clean up the oil dip stick and add .3 litters to bring it up to factory speck. drive it around for 5 mins and recheck oil level. your done . change oil and filter every 6,000 miles on diesels, oil takes a battering.

I owned one of these cars in the 1970's.

At that time there was a Fiat racing company in Georgia (can't remember the name) which sold instructions and parts to install an oil filter.

Complicated undertaking the best I can remember - had to remove the engine, remove oil pan, and take it to a welding shop to get some of the oil passages closed off. I then think it had to be drilled for new passages with hose adapters to route the oil to the new filter which bolted to the inside of the engine compartment.

Had to use special oil resistant hoses and on several occasions the hoses would pop off, spraying oil all over the hot engine and sending the car to the side of the road in a cloud of smoke.

A lot of work and, in today's terms, would be expensive.
