- I will get back to Land Rover Content soon I promise! This Fiat 500 was meant to be a small project that has turned into almost an engine rebuild so Stay Tuned to see if this is Profitable or not!!
This is the same engine that's used on the fiat panda as we did the timing belt and water pump on that.
Easy job! It's a great engine - this one got EXTREMELY hot though and had a banana shaped cylinder head so wait for the next couple of videos 🤣
Huge problem being that's it's a Fiat, and even more so that it's a Fiat 500 haha.
Hahah very true 😂
Fiat should be renamed Shiat lol short for shite
@@christineayres7199 Fiat stands for:
Fix It Again Tomorrow.
@@inked-96 LOL i had a Punto years ago the Mk1 version from the 90s was actually a good car but the later ones were terrible gearbox and clutch issues and the Rust was terrible too
By the way guys, I know this has gone belly up a bit more than the belt but just a heads up. You say this is a non interference engine, it isn't, the old 60 bhp 1.2 was but this has the 68 bhp, low emissions engine in it like my 2011 Panda. I don't know what they did to get it to the lower emissions but whatever it was, it changed it into an interference engine.
Whoa! Should have done a little more research then haha! Good thing I got the timing right (spoiler alert), but it didn't matter anyway hahah, watch out for Part 2 and probably 3!
Increased compression rate.. which increases efficiency. You can only increase compression ratio by making it into an interference engine, hence all modern engines are interference now.
@@khalidacosta7133 Thanks for that because I've often wondered about that one. I checked when I bought the car thinking as the guys did and when I found out that it was interference I changed it to be on the safe side.
@@AutumnCars Must admit I thought the same as you guys but checked to be sure and I say below, when i found out I changed it to be on the safe side. I'm sitting on 117k now after 3 years and its running sweet, using about 100 ml of oil every 1k, top it once a month, it can vapour oil out at that rate so i'm happy enough with it. They're a bloody good engine when looked after right.
@@graemew7001 Most engines have been inteference due to lower fuel consumption for a long time, since the late 80's and early 90's. Even at this age, the only reason it wasn't is because it would have been designed for use in poorer countries where fuel quality is worse. (you don't want auto-ignition and cheapest way to combat this is to reduce compression, which reduces efficiency). The engine, looked after though, should be bomb proof. I've seen how people drive in these countries but the cars seemingly never die!
This is why i bought an i10 instead of the 500 i was looking at , as i get so complacent with cars i would never do the timing belt so in the case of the i10 timing chain , just need to remember to get it serviced once a year LOL but to be fair to Fiat most of the people who buy these are young girls who just passed their tests LOL
Oh wow😂😂😂

Made in Poland, so not Italians.
Didn't know that! Thanks 😊
@@AutumnCars
Punto and Panda were made in Italy, 500 in Poland, 500L in Serbia, Tipo/Egea (the new one) in Turkey.
@@AutumnCars Mladjasmilic is wrong about the Panda because I have a 2011 one, with a healthier version of the engine in this 500 and it has manufactured in Poland on it. The belt should have been done at 75k so 93k is pushing it too far lol, I did mine at 90k when I bought it because I couldn't find the receipt when I bought it, luckily it had been done before but it was stripped so I changed it anyway.
So i have a polish car!
@@sallywalton5375 Indeed we do. Being a petrol head I knew of the Poland and Fiat connection but wasn't aware that Panda's were built there until I bought mine. They built a good little car too, mine has been very reliable, I've maintained it well too but still, they built it well in the first place.
brilliant
