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:

• The internet archive has a copy of the workshop manual for the 4x4 version: https://archive.org/details/fiat-panda-4x4-service-and-repair-manual-1983-86/mode/2up
• It seems that one of the key words to search is elearn, I have no idea why but most manuals are behind of something called elearn. Searching that I found this: https://aftersales.fiat.com/elearnsections/SelectModel.aspx?languageID=1&isExaminer=1&markID=1
• Finally there are other links that I found but I'm pretty sure those cannot be posted here.

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

I hope it helps somebody!
