Engine Options:
The 1995 Fiat Tipo was available with several engine options. Common engines included 1.4L (89hp), 1.6L (98hp), and 1.8L (130hp) petrol engines. Diesel options like the 1.9L TD (75-90hp) were also prevalent. The manual is expected to cover all major variants.
Performance Details:
Specific horsepower and torque figures for each engine variant are detailed within the manual, essential for diagnostic and repair procedures.
Fuel Injection Type:
Typically multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines; diesel engines utilize direct injection or indirect injection systems.
Manual Transmission:
A 5-speed manual transmission was standard on most models.
Automatic Transmission:
An optional 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission was available on select models.
Transmission Fluid Spec:
Specific ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) type for automatics, and gear oil specifications for manuals are detailed. E.g., for automatics, a Dexron II or equivalent is common. For manuals, API GL-4 rated gear oil is typical.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions. The manual specifies exact intervals and oil types.
Timing Belt Interval:
Critical maintenance item. For most Tipo engines, the timing belt replacement interval is around 60,000-80,000 km or 4-5 years. Failure to replace can cause severe engine damage.
Engine Oil Spec:
Typically 10W-40 or 15W-40 API SG or SH rated engine oil. The manual will list precise specifications and capacities (e.g., 4.5 liters for a 1.6L engine).
Coolant Spec:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Fiat specification coolant should be used. Capacity around 6-7 liters.
Brake Fluid Spec:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Problems:
Common issues can include rust on bodywork, electrical gremlins (especially in wiring harnesses), wear on suspension bushings, and occasional issues with fuel injectors or ignition components.
