Replacing the Timing Belt on a Fiat 600

Model: Fiat Seicento MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Timing belt

Prepare to replace the timing belt on a Fiat 600. Lift the car on a column lift; remove the front wheel and the right wheel arch liner. Once these operations are completed, remove the cover panel of the belt (remove the sensor). Using a suitable spanner, loosen the second tensioner and slide the belt off its seat. After fitting the new belt, use the spanner to install the tensioner, tightening until the correct belt tension is achieved (install both belts). Finally, check the tensioner and the belt itself, and tighten everything with a socket wrench.

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working. Now, relieve the tension from the tensioner pulley and remove the belt for replacement.
