• Step 1: This is the layout of the hydraulic clutch compo-
nents. Note that the master cylinder supply hose (b) is a low
pressure hose. The method of disconnecting the rigid hose (k)
and the flexible hose (h) is very similar to that for disconnecting
the brake hoses in PART H: BRAKES, Jobs
15
and 16
Removal of the master cylinder or slave cylinder, should
replacement become necessary, can be easily discerned from
the drawing shown here. Note that, if the clevis pin which
holds the master cylinder to the pedal is worn, it should be
replaced. The master cylinder bolts can be reached only after
the cover (f) has been undipped and removed. The slave
cylinder is held to the gearbox casing by the bracket (e) and
must first be disconnected from the clutch arm (I).
• Step 2: These are the internal components of the clutch
master and slave cylinders. Because the clutch components are
not as safely critical as brake components, it is acceptable to
- mounting bracket - vibration damper - rigid hose - clutch operating arm Job 14-1
• Step 9:
Remove the
bearing
retention
cirdip from the
stub axle
(also,

- slave cylinder - flexible hose • Step 10:
...and press out
the old
bearing
{Job
13-1,
part c).
Note
the
inner race
usually breaks
free and
has to
be drifted
off
the hub,
as
shown.
Q Step 11: Clean the stub axle and press in the new
bearing, putting pressure on the outer track only. Refit
the
cirdip.
Q Step 12: Now press the hub into the bearing using a
suitable
tube putting pressure on the inner track.
• Step 13:
Continue the

extend their life by fitting new seals, when necessary. Note that
you will need to use internal circlip pliers to remove the circlip
from the pushrod on the master cylinder in order to dismantle it.
When you need to bleed the clutch hydraulic system, follow
the procedure described for brake bleeding in PART H:
BRAKES, Job 17. Because the circuit is far simpler, the
procedure itself is likely to be both simpler and quicker to carry
out. Note that the bleed screw (f) is normally covered by a cap
(e) which must be removed before the bleed screw can be
slackened.

• Step 2: To remove, drain the cooling system, disconnect
the switch and unscrew it from the radiator.
• Step 3: H INSIDE INFORMATION! Test the switch
using a test bulb and two leads. Connect one to a
battery terminal and the other to one of the switch
terminals. Now connect a wire between the remaining
switch and battery terminal. (9

Q Step 1: Locate the coil (2) next to
the battery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On 1.6 models
from 1993 with SPI Monomotronic
fuel injection, the high tension coil
is integral with the distributor.
• Step 2: Make sure the ignition is
switched off and disconnect all LT (the
smaller, low tension) wires from the
coil, making note of their locations for
refitting.
• Step 3: Unplug the HT (the
thicker, high tension) lead to the
distributor at the coil end. Undo the
mountings and remove the coil.
• Step 4: Mount the new coil, remake all connections
correctly and firmly.
Job 3. Distributor - removal and
refitting (1.4 litre engine).
FACT FILE: 1.4. LITRE ENGINE
DISTRIBUTOR
This system is of the BREAKERLESS
INDUCTIVE DISCHARGE type (2nd gener-
ation) and employs a distributor looking
much like those used on older cars, still
having an internal centrifugal advance mechanism, a vacuum
advance mechanism (3),
but NO contact breaker
points - an electronic
control module (2)
instead. This means that
once set, the timing
cannot alter through
points gap fluctuation.
Maintenance is also
reduced to a minimum,
the main requirements
being to keep the unit
clean and dry.
l_) Step 1: Locate the distributor (see illustration Job1-2A,
part a) which is mounted on the forward facing side of the
engine block, close to the timing belt cover.
I—] Step 2: Remove the distributor cap and leads.
Q Step 3: Disconnect the (thinner) low tension lead, undo
the distributor base clamp and withdraw the distributor.
Q Step 4: Turn
the engine until
the crankshaft
pulley timing
mark is aligned
with the '0' (TDC)
mark on the
timing belt cover
(a) and the marks
seen through the
timing belt
window (b), also
line up.
• Step S: If the
marks
seen through the window
do not align
-
turn the
engine another complete revolution and they will.
• Step 6: Refit the distributor with the centre of the rotor
contact pointing 180 degrees away from (in other words,
exactly opposite) the reference mark on the distributor dust
cover.
Q Step 7: Refit the distributor cap and remake all connec-
tions. Leave the vacuum pipe disconnected but plug the end
of the pipe.
Q Step 8: Refit the base clamp but leave just loose enough
to allow the distributor to turn.
Q Step 9: Connect a stroboscopic timing light and start the
engine. Run it at between 750 and 850 rpm.
• Step 10:
Rotate the
distributor body
the required
amount in either
direction to align
the pulley timing
mark with the 10
degree BTDC
mark on the
timing belt cover
• Step 11: Remove the timing light, unplug and reconnect
the vacuum pipe.
Job 4. Distributor - removal and
refitting (1.6 litre engine).
FACT FILE: 1.6 LITRE ENGINE
DISTRIBUTOR
The DIGIPLEX 2 ALL ELECTRONIC (2nd
generation) IGNITION system used on the
1.6 litre engine is of advanced design and
requires no maintenance. Because there is no
mechanical wear, the advance curves remain constant during
the life of the unit. Inaccuracies due to wear or vibration are
eliminated. The high spark intensity is constant, even with a
low battery when starting, and at high RPM.
and lock the distributor base clamp.
Page 105 of 171
SAFETY FIRST!
Step 1: Take note of the location and identification of the
main
components:
Q Step 2: Before starting to remove the unit, unplug all of
the
distributor cap
HT
leads.
M | The TDC and RPM sensor (illustration Job 4-
1, part 4) is correctly positioned during
production and its (adjustable) mounting
plate should not be moved. (In fact, the sensor can be
removed from and refitted to the mounting plate - only the
latter is adjustable.) To prevent the plate from being moved
accidentally, one of the bolts holding the mounting plate to
the engine is of the 'shear' type and has no flats. If there is a
need to adjust the sensor mounting plate, special FIAT tool
1895898000 is required and this then becomes a job for your
FIAT dealer, who will also replace the shear bolt.
• Step 8: FACT FILE: TOP DEAD
CENTRE/RPM SENSOR
PRECAUTIONS -
To be taken when working on a car
with this system:
i) - Never
attempt to start the car with poor battery
connections.
ii) - Do
not use a fast charger to start the engine.
iii) -
Don't disconnect the battery while the engine is
running.
iv) -
Before fast charging
-
disconnect the battery.
vj - Remove
the ECU (electronic control unit) before
putting
the car in a bodyshop paint oven over
80
degrees Celsius.
vi) -
Make sure the ignition is OFF before plugging in
or unplugging
the ECU multi-plug.
vii) -
When electric welding
-
disconnect the battery.
Q Step 5: Turn the engine so that No. 4 piston is at TDC
(compression stroke). See Chapter
5,
Servicing Your Car,
Job 25 Refit the distributor in the reverse order of removal1
with the nuts just loose enough to allow ration of the
distributor body.
• Step 6: E3 INSIDE INFORMATION! At this point a FIAT
agent would fit tool No.1895896000 (1) to the distributor
body and rotate it until the centre of the rotor arm (2) is
aligned with the '0' reference mark on the tool. If such a
tool is not for hire, exactly align the two halves of the
previously scribed mark. This will do the same job
providing the distributor was correctly positioned in the
first place! Tighten the securing nuts. Q
• Step 7: Refit the distributor cap and HT leads.
Job S. Electronic ignition.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to check
either of the two systems described in this
manual without the use of the correct FIAT
diagnostic equipment. If your engine is malfunctioning and
you suspect the ignition, ask your FIAT agent to check it.
