—I Job 13. Check cooling system.
SAFETY FIRST!
• The coolant level should be checked
-
and the
cooling system worked on, ONLY WHEN THE
COOLANT IS COLD. If you remove the pressure cap or
bleed screws when the engine is hot, scalding coolant
will spurt out.
• Keep anti-freeze away from children. If it is acciden-
tally swallowed or contacts skin or eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and seek immediate
medical help.
Examine the cooling system hoses, looking for signs of
splitting, chafing and perishing. Squeeze the top and bottom
radiator hoses. Any hard, brittle areas or crackling sounds tell
you that the hoses are decomposing from the inside
-
replace-
ments needed!
SAFETY FIRST!
If
a
clearance is outside the tolerances shown in Chapter 3,

Facts
and Figures, the relevant shim will have to be changed.
New
shims
are available from your FIAT dealer. This work is
fully described in Chapter
6,
Repairs and Replacements.

any 'teeth' are
missing, replace
the belt straight
away. If the belt

breaks
the valves may collide with the pistons, causing serious
engine damage. Camshaft belt replacement is described in

Chapter 6,
Repairs and Replacements, or you may wish to

have
your FIAT dealer carry out the work for you. If you can
twist the belt through more than 90 degrees, it needs re-
tensioning. Also see Chapter
6,
Repairs and Replacements.

14A. Remove the expansion tank filler cap. Move the heater
control (a) to the red (open) position or, on automatic
systems, press the TEMP button (b) on the dash until HI
appears on the display (c).
—i Job 12. Change camshaft timing belt.

It is
ESSENTIAL that you renew the camshaft drive belt at the
recommended interval. See the Service Interval Chart at the

start
of this chapter. Chapter
6,
Repairs and Replacements
explains how to carry out the work.
14B. Loosen the
worm-drive clip
(arrowed) and
pull off the
bottom radiator
hose.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Take care not to allow any dirt or grit
to get into the gearbox.
• Job 19. Check driveshaft gaiters.
45
B INSIDE INFORMATION: Make sure you have a 10 mm
Allen key that will fit, before you start. There's very little
room between gearbox and subframe. B
Q Job 17. Check auto, transmission fluid level.

The
automatic transmission fluid level should be checked with

the
car on level ground and the engine at normal running
temperature
-
the car should have been driven for about 4
miles. The level is checked by means of a dipstick next to the
battery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: i) It is especially important that the
fluid is at the correct level. If the system needs regular
topping up because of leaks, fix them as rapidly as
possible or have your FIAT dealer check the system,
ii) Wipe the dipstick only with a lint-free rag to avoid
clogging up transmission valves. Keep dirt out!
18B. The filter is
secured by one
central screw.
Undo this and pull
the filter down,
detaching its upper
fluid pipe in the
process. Remove
the filter, discard it
and fit the
replacement. Refit
the sump, using a
new gasket and
non-setting gasket
sealer.
Replace the drain plug and fill the gearbox through the
dipstick tube. {See Job
17.)

19A. Grasp and turn the
inner drive-shaft and
gaiters, checking for signs
of gaiter splitting or
damage that could allow
grease out or
-
worse still

-
water in. Ensure the
gaiter clips are secure.
Q INSIDE INFOR-
MATION: Inners tend to
leak, putting an oil
stain on the shaft, as
here. You can buy a
FIAT repair kit, with
bearing and
replacement gaiter, to
repair the leak. This
involves removing the
drive shaft
-
see
Chapter 6, Repairs
and Replacements. B
19B. Check the outer
gaiter as well. This moves
over a greater range and
is more prone to damage
and splits.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Change a split, or
damaged gaiter as soon
as possible
-
preferably
before using the car
again.
If
necessary,
fresh Tutela CVT should be poured in through

the
dipstick tube, using a funnel in the tube or by using ATF

from
a dispenser with a small spout. You may have to leave

the fresh
oil to clear the tube before seeing a clear dipstick
reading.
G Job 18. Replace auto, transmission fluid and
filter.

As well as
Tutela CVT fluid, you will need a new, sump
gasket
and
a new gearbox oil filter, from your FIAT dealer. The
filter
should
be changed every time the oil is replaced.

18A.
Always drain the

fluid when
the trans-
mission
is
warm, such as

after a
run. Raise the

front
of the car on

ramps,
so the fluid

drains well
from the

drain
hole (C) at the rear
under-side of the 'box.

Remove
the drain plug

with an
Allen key or hexagonal socket adaptor, and allow the

fluid to
drain into a container beneath the transmission
-
allow

ten
minutes for complete drainage.
Underneath the car, remove the 13 transmission sump bolts.
H INSIDE INFORMATION: The sump is easily distorted,

so,
when refitting, tighten all bolts progressively and
evenly to the recommended torque
-
see Chapter 3,
Facts and Figures. B

17.
Check the level with the
engine idling and the gear
selector in the 'P' (PARK)
position. Pull out the dipstick

(A),
wipe it clean with paper
kitchen towel, re-insert it and
check the level. The upper

and
lower marks on the dipstick represent minimum and
maximum acceptable fluid levels.

G Step 17: Now repeat this operation on the remaining
valves.
G Step 18: Wash the whole cylinder head again using
paraffin and an old brush, making sure that all traces of
grinding paste are removed, then dry off. Use compressed air

if
available.
SAFETY FIRST!
•
Treat
compressed air with respect. Always wear

goggles
to protect your eyes.
•
Never
allow the airline nozzle near any of the body Sep apertures.
H INSIDE INFORMATION! Check the height of the valve
springs against new ones if possible, but if not, compare
them with each other. If any are shorter than the others,
play safe and replace the complete set. They are bound
to have suffered fatigue which could cause premature
valve failure. H
G Step 19: To install the valves, start from one end.
Lubricate a valve stem with fresh engine oil and slide it in to its
guide.
G Step 20: Locate a new valve stem seal over the stem of

the valve
(if applicable) and push down into contact with the
guide. Position the seal on its seat using a suitable metal tube.
G Step 21: Refit the flat washer and spring seat.
G Step 22: Position the inner and outer springs and the

spring
cap.
G Step 23: Re-apply the valve spring compressor and

compress
the springs enough to allow you to engage the split
collets
in
the stem grooves.
D INSIDE INFORMATION! Grease the grooves so that the
collets will 'stick' in place. The collets are easily fitted by
'sticking' the backs of them onto the end of a screw-
driver with some grease and feeding them into
position. B
G Step 24: Carefully release the spring compressor and

check
that the collets are correctly located. Tap the end of the

stem with
a hammer, to bed them in.
G Step 25: Fit the remaining valves.

• Step 9: ...the
end plate and
seal, and remove
the auxiliary shaft.
• Step 10:
Undo and remove
the clutch, and
then the flywheel.
• Step 11: Turr

remove the sump
and remove the crankcase breather (see
part b) with its pipe.

• Step 24:
Remember to retrieve

the
two thrust
washers from the

end
main bearing in
the block. There are
none in the cap.
If so, you will probably need a new housing. If you are
replacing the camshaft, fit new followers as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All bearings, shells, piston rings and
ALL seals that bear on moving parts MUST be copiously
lubricated with fresh engine oil as the engine is being
reassembled. Work ONLY in clean conditions, with clean
components and clean hands. Re-assemble in the reverse
order of the dismantling procedure and take note of the
following steps which will help you carry out a smooth
operation.
Engine Reassembly lob 6. Petrol engine -
checking and reassembly.
Q INSIDE INFORMATION: It is good policy to change the
oil pump when carrying out an engine overhaul. A
replacement engine supplied by your FIAT agent would
include a new pump. D
Checking for Wear
GENERAL
All parts must be thoroughly cleaned for inspection
-
still
keeping them in the right order for reassembly in case they

are to
be re used. Check each component as follows:
CYLINDER BLOCK

Look
for any cracks in the casting, particularly at bolt holes

and
between cylinders. Check the bores for score marks,
caused by burned pistons or broken rings. Check for a wear

ridge just
below the top of the bore where the top piston ring

ends its
travel. If any of these defects are present in any of the
cylinders, they will have to be rebored. Ask your FIAT dealer or

engine
specialist to inspect and measure the bores for wear if

you
are unsure. It is sometimes possible to 'glaze bust' the

bores and
fit new piston rings, assuming the pistons and bores

to be in
reasonable condition. All of this work can be carried

out by
your FIAT dealer.
CRANKSHAFT
Check
all
the mains journals and crankpins for any signs of
wear ridges round the circumference or scoring of the surface.

Check
for ovality with a suitable micrometer, 0.005 mm being

the maximum
permissible amount. Check the shell bearings,

which
should have an even, dull grey finish. If this has worn

through
to the copper coloured backing, or if the crankshaft

has any
of the previously mentioned faults, the crankshaft

should
be reground by your specialist who will also supply the

new shell
bearings and thrust washers.

Check
the crankshaft end float by using a feeler gauge
between the thrust washer and the crankshaft. Thicker

washers
are available if required, see Chapter
3,
Facts and
Figures.
CAMSHAFT
Check each cam lobe for wear, which can be quite rapid once
started. The cam followers should also be checked, particularly

where
they contact the cam lobe. Check the five camshaft

bearings
and their corresponding surfaces in the housing for a

smooth
shiny surface without wear ridges. Check the cam
follower bores in the camshaft housing for pitting or scoring.
Job 6-1
Q Step 1: Make sure you have all the necessary gaskets,
available from your FIAT dealership.
CRANKSHAFT
• Step 2: Apply some
grease to the smooth side of
the thrust washers and 'stick'
them in position either side of
No. 1 main bearing.

G Step 43: Stop the engine and allow it to cool, check the

oil
and coolant levels and look for any leaks.
G Step 44: Avoid over-rewing or overloading the engine
during its settling down period of 600 miles. We recommend

an oil
and filter change at this mileage
-
this will help to
extend the life of your new engine.
Job 7. Petrol engine.
Valve clearances - adjustment.
0 INSIDE INFORMATION! Adjustment should always be
made with the engine cold. B
G Step 1: Remove the camshaft cover and the spark plugs.
Jack up a front wheel and engage top gear. Turning the wheel
will rotate the engine and therefore the camshaft. If the
engine
is
out of the car, use a socket and long lever on the
crankshaft pulley nut. If the cylinder head is detached, turn

the
camshaft belt sprocket, by hand.
G Step 2: The inlet and exhaust valves use different clear-

ances
which are checked when each cam lobe is pointing
directly away from its follower. See Chapter
3,
Facts and
Figures.
G Step 3: The order in which the valves are fitted in the
cylinder head is:
Inlet: 2-3-6-7
Exhaust: 1-4-5-8

from
the timing cover end.
G Step 4: Select a feeler blade which is about the thickness

of the
correct valve clearance and insert it between the heel of

the cam
and the cam follower shim when the cam lobe is
uppermost. If necessary, select different thicknesses of feeler
blade until a small amount of drag can be felt as the blade is
pushed in and out. Record the total blade thickness. This is the
valve clearance for this valve.
G Step 5: Rotate the camshaft and repeat this operation on

each
of the remaining seven valves, noting their respective
clearances. Those which have clearances within limits
obviously don't need any further attention.
Q Step 6: The remaining valves will now need to have their
shims (arrowed) changed for thicker or thinner ones, bringing
their clearances to within the specifications shown in Chapter
3, Facts and Figures
Ll Step 7: A special tool is needed to depress the cam
follower and allow extraction of the shim. This is available
from your FIAT dealer, or you will have to make a lever with a
fork that locates nicely on the rim of a cam follower allowing
removal of the shim by prising it from the follower.
• Step 8: The
thickness of a shim
is engraved on it in
mm (arrowed). If
this is worn away,
you will have to
measure the
thickness with a
metric micrometer
-

or have your FIAT
dealer do it for you.
Your FIAT dealer can
also supply any new
thickness of shim
you may require.
• Step 9: Where
a clearance is too
small with the thinnest shim in position, the valves should be
removed and the stem ground just sufficiently to make the
correction. Your FIAT dealer can do this, keeping the end
square and retaining a smooth finish.

ENGINES PRIOR TO ENGINE NO. 1723291 • Step A15: Ease the timing belt off the sprockets.
Gl Step A10: Use a spanner on the crankshaft bolt (a) to
turn the engine until the timing marks on the crankshaft,
camshaft and injection pump sprockets align with their
respective reference marks. Align the crankshaft sprocket with
the notch on the front cover (b). Align the camshaft sprocket
with the hole in the timing belt cover (c). Align the injection
pump sprocket with the reference on the timing belt rear
guard (d).

• Step A14: Slacken the belt tensioner nut (see illustration
Job
13-A10,
part f), move the tensioner away from the belt
and temporarily lock it in position.
• Step A16: Fit the new belt, first making sure that all of
the timing marks still align.
• Step A17: If you do not have access to the correct FIAT
tensioning tool, release the locknut, push the tensioner firmly
into the belt and lock it up by tightening its bolt.
If you do have the FIAT special tool (a weighted bar), attach it
to the tensioner, which will move to the position of correct
tension. Lock the tensioner bolt. Remove the special tool
locking the injection pump sprocket.
E3 INSIDE INFORMATION: If you can't put enough
pressure on the tensioner with your fingers, carefully use
a long screwdriver as a lever. Alternatively, push a pair of
bolts into the two holes in the tensioner and lever
between them to turn the tensioner. E9
Q Step A18: Rotate the engine through two revolutions. If
the belt is correctly tensioned you should just be able to twist
it through a quarter-turn when gripping it between thumb
and finger in the centre of its longest run between sprockets.
Adjust as necessary.
Q Step A19: Refit the remaining parts in the reverse order,
then check the injection timing (see Chapter

Job 13-B10
Q Step B10: Turn the crankshaft in its normal direction of
rotation until the marks on the crankshaft sprocket (a) and
fuel injection pump sprocket (b) line up with the fixed marks
on the engine. This will place cylinder No. 1 at Top Dead
Centre TDC and set the camshaft for the power stroke of the
same cylinder. Lock the flywheel (see Step A11) and remove
the alternator belt pulley (see Step A12).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The hole for fixing the camshaft
sprocket (c) has a fine-adjustment slot, so it is possible
that the mark on the sprocket may not line up exactly
with the mark on the cover.

Q Step 17: Thoroughly clean the cylinder head and compo-
nents with paraffin or an engine cleaning solvent. Take great
care not to gouge the face of the cylinder head. The valves are
best cleaned with a rotary wire brush.
• Step 18: Check the cylinder head for distortion by using
a straight edge along the machined surface, and a feeler
gauge. Any distortion above
0.1
mm indicates the need for
machining.
Q Step 19: Valve guide wear can be checked by rocking the
valve sideways in its guide. The guides should be replaced if
a

maximum movement of 0.35 mm is exceeded (in practice,
scarcely detectable).
