Technical Seicento Workshop Manual

[spoooky]

Hello guys, I have a 2006 facelift Seicento Euro4 and I was wondering if the eLearn manuals posted here are also valid for post-2005 models — especially torque specs and other technical data.

On every sheet I see dates like 2003 and two versions 999 and 1108 Euro 3, so I’m not sure if the information still applies to the facelift version.

Don't know about the eLearn, but if you have the engine series number from the chassis Vin plate I can probably supply the torque settings etc.

oh, thank you! Btw, I wanted to ask, which parts are critical to tightening with a torque wrench? Parts like the wheel bearing, everything related to the engine, wheel bolts, etc. are sensitive to improper torque. What about the brake-related, for example? Can you tighten them by eye? At this time, I plan to overhaul the entire brake system, except for the master cylinder.
Thanks!

If you tell me the Engine Series number (not the VIN number but on the same plate) this usually helps me best.
My book gives all the relevant torques, where no figure given it is usually down to common sense.

Hello!
Thank you!
By the way, I'd like to ask you, if you have any info for caliper guide pin?
While I’m waiting for new brake discs and pads, I thought it would be a good idea to lubricate the caliper guide pins. However, I can’t find any instructions for this in the workshop manual.

Since this caliper is a bit different from the ones I’ve worked on before, I’d like to see how it’s properly done.
On YouTube I only found one video from the Lollo e Chri channel about caliper maintenance, but the procedure isn’t completely clear. Also, it’s done with the caliper fully removed and disassembled on a bench, while I’m planning to do it without removing it, as is possible with other calipers.

In any case, I’d prefer to have an official manual from the manufacturer to be sure I’m doing everything correctly.

Thanks!

Sorry, my books are related to technical specifications for the Motor Trade, correct oils, tightening torques, timing details etc. So they assume that the mechanic can strip and rebuild most things.
From a quick look at the photos of calipers and guide /slider pins for your vehicle, it looks like once you have undone the single slider pin Allen bolt the caliper pivots and comes away then if no excessive wear then suitable rubber to metal slider grease on the moving parts to ensure easy movement then when your new discs and pads have been fitted and caliper piston pushed back, then re engage the caliper and refit the Allan bolt through the bushes, pump the pedal a few times to firm up the brakes and then with wheels tightened a road test to confirm all good, plus a check that nothing binding or brakes getting warm etc. Assuming yours is similar to the parts below in photos. If there was excessive movement then the new bush kit would be advisable.
Obviously the brake pads require the suitable anti squeal heat proof grease on the back of brake pads etc.
Others with your model on Forum will be able to give more detailed advice.

Hello! Thank you! I've changed brakes and it works well.
But I have doubts about reliability of pins, what do you think? Even though I've bought Brembo parts and I'm pretty sure in its quality, but anyway, it seems a bit weak

If it snaps into place it should be fine, they are only there to locate, there is no force trying to pull it off.
Sorry I did reply the other day but forgot to click reply.
