Hey everyone! I love the Fiat Panda. It’s simple, small, and perfect for getting around a small city. I’ve got an old one, and I’d really like to keep it in good condition.

However, I’ve been struggling to track down a proper service/workshop manual for the Fiat Panda 169, and I’m running out of ideas. I’ve searched all over the internet, checked old forum links, tried BitTorrent, and browsed various archive sites, but no luck so far. I’ve only come across a few scattered chapters of the official manual, never the full thing.

At this point, I’m not sure whether I’m overlooking the right sources or if the complete manual is just unusually hard to find, I’ve got a newer megane and it’s seems way easier to find the service manual. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one — official or freely available? I’d really appreciate any tips, suggestions, or alternative resources that could help with repairs or maintenance for this model.

Thanks for reading!

PD: I know Youtube has thousands of videos about this but I liked the idea of having the official manual

EDIT: After some more time searching I found a few sources:

Still, I might end buying one, the convinience looks tempting.

I hope it helps somebody!

    Thanks for the suggestion. For sure will buy it if I don’t find it online. I’ll be searching a little more and post it here if I find it.

    PD: Would it be ok to post a download link in here for something like a service manual? Or is it against the rules?

      Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.

      Or some piracy communities on lemmy. [email protected] is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).
