Fiat Cinquecento Sporting- Fixing a blown headgasket.

In this video I remove the cylinder head on my Fiat 1,1 FIRE engine.
The headgasket is blown on my Fiat. This is something you hear happens quite often on this model... But is it hard to fix?

Good stuff as always! Watching this makes me believe I can do it myself too ;)

[@SeasideGarage]

I bet you can!

[@terryatkinson899]

Watching this video very carefully as I have the same issue. Except I have oil in the coolant. A list of parts/costs required to fix it and more step by step please. Is there any corrosion in the water galleries? And how would you clean them out?

[@SeasideGarage]

I will try to make the reassembly a bit more in detail... :)

Watching you messing with these little Fiat engines, is making me want another panda 🙈

Do it Barry!

The cinqs and seis are the same with appreciation because both cars are going around 300,1000 euros. Always depends on the state of the car though, my father paid 200 euros for My sei sporting and who knows what will come of it in a few years

They could end up being a very rare classic I belive!

[@kieranraine342]

@@SeasideGarage for definite. The quirky shape of both cars will never be forgotten ever. Just hope they go up in price because they deserve it and so do the polish for building such a great car

Fiat made such great small cars 👍

[@SeasideGarage]

They do!

[@marcellorava6149]

There is a specific reason why the head gasket has blown: because is an Italian car 🤣 😉The Fire Engine is a good engine...but they love blowing head gasket. So get use to it... And I don't want to bring bad luck...But be prepare to do the same think on the Panda 😅🤘. Nice work mate!

[@SeasideGarage]

Haha Thats the reason! Lucky, its a very easy engine to work on! and I really like doing it so far... :)

[@darrenwilson8042]

You can't say you prefer the Panda whilst performing open heart surgery on the Cinquecento......thats just cruel !!

[@SeasideGarage]

:O How unthoughtful of me... ! And actually it is not really true... But at the moment I just cant wait to drive the Panda! The cinq is actually an amazing car...
