1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Ultra Pocket rocket."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Thermostat gasket was leaking, causing steam to waft out form under the bonnet. The reason it was leaking, a garage that previously had carried out servicing repaired the original leaking gasket with a paper & silicone mastic mixture, it didn't work and was very poorly done.
General comments?
Lovely compact car, accelerates surprisingly well for a 1100cc inj engine, I'm currently looking for a cylinder head to work on and later swap it, also replacing the cat with a bypass pipe.
