GETTIIMG THROUGH THE MOT
This chapter is for owners in Britain whose
vehicles need to pass the 'MoT' test.
Obviously, you won't be able to examine
your car to the same degree of
thoroughness as the MoT testing station.
But you can reduce the risk of being one of
the 4 out of 10 who fail the test first time by
following this check-list.
iMFTri
The checks shown below are correct at the
time of writing but do note that they are
becoming stricter all the time. Your local
MoT testing station will have the latest
information, should you need it.

PART A: INSIDE THE CAR
Steering Wheel and Column
O 1. Try to move the steering wheel towards and away from you and then from side to side. There should be no appreciable movement or play. Check that the steering wheel is not loose on the column.
02 . Lightly grip the steering wheel between thumb and finger and turn from side to side. Cars with a steering rack: free play should not exceed approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.), assuming a 380 mm (15 in.) diameter steering wheel. Cars fitted with a steering box: free play should not exceed approximately 75 mm (3.0 in.), assuming a 380 mm (15 in.) diameter steering wheel.
Ob . If there is a universal joint at the bottom of the steering column inside the car, check for movement. Place your hand over the joint while turning the steering wheel to-and-fro a little way with your other hand. If ANY free play can be felt, the joint must be replaced.
04. Ensure that there are no breaks or loose components
on the steering wheel itself.
Electrical Equipment
OS . With the ignition turned on, ensure that the horn works okay.
OE . Check that the front wipers work.
07 . Check that the windscreen washers work.
o 8. Check that the internal warnings for the indicator and hazard warning lights work okay.
Checks With An Assistant
O9 . Check that the front and rear side lights and number plate lights work and that the lenses and reflectors are secure, clean and undamaged.
o 10. Check the operation of the headlights (you won't be able to check the alignment yourself) and check that the lenses are undamaged. The reflectors inside the headlights must not be tarnished, nor must there be condensation inside the headlight.
o 11. Turn on the ignition and check the direction
indicators, front and rear and on the side markers.
o 12. Check that the hazard warning lights operate on the
outside of the vehicle, front and rear.
o 13. Check that the rear fog light/s, including the warning
light inside the car, all work correctly.
o 14. Check that the rear brake lights work correctly. These checks are carried out all around the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground.
o 15. Operate the brake lights, side lights and each indicator in turn, all at the same time. None should affect the operation of the others.
SAFETY FIRST!
• Follow the Safety information in CHAPTER 1, SAFETY FIRST! but bear in mind that the vehicle needs
to be even more stable than usual when raised off the ground.
• There must be no risk of it toppling off its stands or ramps while suspension and steering components
are being pushed and pulled in order to test them.

Fuses located on the auxiliary panel
The fuses protecting special devices (options, features of
special versions or devices with high power require-
ments) are on an auxiliary panel to the side of the fuse
box under the dashboard. It is much easier to remove
and replace auxiliary panel fuses if you first remove the
oddment tray and moulding fastened by 5 screws. The
panel also houses a number of relays:
20A Intake manifold heater (petrol engines).
20A Diesel fuel filter heater (diesel and turbo diesel
engines).
20A Headlight washer pump.
25A Front power windows.
25A Rear power windows.
10A Antilock braking system.
7.5A Low beam headlight dimming system (for countries
where headlights always need to be on.)
30A Radiator fan (diesel versions).
40A Radiator fan (turbo diesel versions with heater).
60A Radiator fan (turbo diesel versions with air condi-
tioning).
The arrangement of the fuses on the auxiliary panel
varies with the number and type of devices present.
The amperage is clearly marked on each fuse. ALWAYS
replace a blown fuse with one of the correct amperage.
NEVER 'fix' a fault by using a fuse of a higher amperage,
nor 'bridge' a blown fuse
-
it could cause a fire!
7f. When a fuse is 'blown'
its conductor wire (A) has
a gap in it.
If a fuse blows, find out
why and put it right
before fitting a new fuse.

FACT FILE: FUSES contd. 7h. CERTAIN TIPO MODELS: Other
fuses are i) a set of three fuses (15A, 30A
and 40A) protecting the air conditioning,
when fitted, located in the engine bay,
near the horns (A). Press in the two sides
(arrowed) to remove the cover.
And ii) there is a 60A
fuse, located near the
fuse box, protecting
the fan on Diesel
vehicles.
7i. On latest vehicles,
there are two 10A
fuses (a) protecting
the electric petrol
pump and the
Lambda sensor
preheater. Remove
the screws (arrowed)
and the cover.
7g. TEMPRAS WITH
AIR CONDITIONING
30A The Air conditioning
system fuse is housed on
a bracket on the engine
compartment bulkhead.
The following two fuses
are located under the
front crossmember near
the right headlight.
3A High-speed radiator fan relay.
7.5A Electromagnetic air conditioner compressor clutch.
The relays housed near the fuses are part of the air
conditioner circuit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Replace the sealed cover carefully
after changing a fuse. Ensure the gasket is correctly
positioned and the screws are fully tightened.
PART B: ENGIIME AND COOLING SYSTEM
Q Job 8. Change engine oil and filter.
SAFETY FIRST!
• Refer to the section on ENGINE OILS and RAISING
THE
CAR SAFELY in Chapter f, Safety First! before
carrying
out this work.
• You must wear plastic gloves when changing the oil.
Used
engine oil can severely irritate the skin and
is
carcinogenic.
Used diesel engine oil is an even greater
health
hazard.
•
Oil
drain plugs are often over-tightened, so take
care
that the spanner does not slip.
Take
care that the effort needed to undo the drain
plug
doesn't tip the car off its supports
-
remember to
use
wheel
chocks!
rtj&^si ' # °nly dram theu 0,7 fr°m a ff (y warm engine
-
but not
so
hot that the oil can scald!
• Allow the oil to drain for at least ten minutes before
replacing the sump plug.
• You can use this time by renewing the oil filter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The plug is a taper-fit and can
become very tight, necessitating the use of a long drive-
bar for its removal.
H INSIDE INFORMATION: On side-mounted drain holes,
as the oil empties, the angle of 'spurt' will change, so be
prepared to move the container. E3
8A. The
sump drain
plug is on
the
under-side of the
sump on
petrol
engines, and on the
side
of the sump
(timing belt end of
engine) on the
diesel.
The plug has
a
recessed
hexagonal head and you will need either a sump plug
spanner, a large Allen key, or a 'Hex' headed socket fitted to a
socket
wrench.
8B. Once the initial
tightness of the
plug has been
released, unscrew
the last few turns
by hand, holding
the plug in place
until the threads
have cleared, then
withdrawing it
smartly to allow oil to flow into the receptacle beneath.
expert22
8C. On all engines,
including diesel, the
oil filter is mounted
low on the front of
the engine block,
towards the timing
belt. Use a strap or
chain wrench to
unscrew the old
filter. Note that
there may be a lot of oil spilt as the filter seal is broken, so
keep the drip tray beneath it.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all of the components listed here
are fitted to all models.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
3. We have sometimes shown the wiring diagram for a
'highest' spec, model, in the knowledge that 'lower'
spec, models are usually similar with the deletion of
certain components.
1. There are several hundred FIAT wiring diagrams for
the whole TIPO range. This is a representative selection,
covering the majority of applications. However, in the
event that your car's details are not covered here,
consult your nearest FIAT dealer.
2 All of the following are Tipo wiring diagrams. Tempra
saloons and estates are essentially similar.
4. 'EEC Stage 2 Engines' In late 1994, Tipo 1.4 and 2 -
Litre and Tempra 1.6 MPI vehicles were modified to suit
new emission regulations. These changes were NOT only
engine-related. Vehicles covered by this manual are Tipo
1.4 (with engine code no. 836A4.000) and Tempra 1.6
(with engine code 159B9.000). See Page 27 for location
of codes.
