How to set timing belt for fiat strada 1.6 16v

Most of the time it is on the left hand side of the radiator Good Luck Mike L.

Piston No1 is closest to the radiator
OR
closest to the fanbelt/timing belt/pulley

Not sure where you are, friend, but my data book tells me the Fiat Strada was produced in the 1980's and there wasn't a 1.2 model, a 1.1 and a 1.3 is what appears in the book.

I remember the car quite well as I worked on a few, typically the car was short-lived due to the severe rate of body corrosion.

If your car is a locally made under licence in the way of many of the eastern bloc Fiats, you will need to obtain technical information locally as in those circumstances made under licence cars rarely used the original engines.

It is also possible your car is not a Strada at all but maybe something like a Fiat Bravo that is locally named a Strada because another manufacturer is already using the Bravo name or perhaps the original name clashed with a slightly distasteful product. The Strada was originally the Ritmo but had to be named Strada in the USA due to a similar sounding brand of sanitary towels.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

80,000 kilometers will be the safest to replace the timing belt. I do this on my own car and she still rides like new.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
