When was the last time...?

Post by Tobi »

When was the last time you saw a new timing belt with a FIAT logo on a Spider?
I just took a closer look at that brittle belt that slipped on me two month ago an I noticed the fiat logo on it.
My car is an 81 and I have a peace of paper that shows it had 87k miles on it in 1986. I bought the car in 2007 with 96k miles and I would not be surprised if the belt was installed in the mid 80th.
If that is the case than that would make the belt around 30 years old :shock:
