1983 Fiat Ritmo CL review from Egypt
"Is there any car worse?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every thing gone wrong with the car, LETTERLY!
First thing the motor was producing enormous white fumes, I changed the pistons and the rings.
Then After one month, the motor was running on three pistons because one pipe broke and it produced fumes worst than before from every where (even from the radiator).I throw the engine in the garbage and installed a 1.6 lancia motor, it's running very well till now :)
I changed the battery 3 times, the contact switch 5 times, brake pads 2 times, gear box, clutch, dash board with meters 1 time.
Not to mention Rust every where made the body of the car so weak that the spacing between axes of the 2 wheels increased 2cm and made the transmission gear not attached to wheels.
General comments?
A very DANGEROUS car.once, the wheel actually detached from the car while I was driving because the 4 holes for screws were rusted, Thanks god I was driving at 30km/hr.
