Fiat 126 Mechanical Problem Solving / Re: Full beam headlight switch not working

Thanks ronb,
Yes, it was actually my ignition switch that was faulty (plastic brittle, fell apart during disassembly!). Had to buy a new ignition switch & low/full beam working now

Hi have you cured it since , sounds like a dirty contact in the high beam stalk , im sure mine was the same , you had to pull really hard towards steering wheel to get the headlights to flash

I'm also nearly at the 20 year mark! I check in once in a while. I still have my 126p. It's in the shed at the moment but will come out again soon.

Fiat 126 Mechanical Problem Solving / Water Pump seal - renewed but still leaking

« Last post by PeteB on June 20, 2025, 03:37:46 PM »

I had a small oil leak from the drain hole under the water pump , so I replaced the seal and other parts with a kit supplied by Ricambio - this was done in situ (so the drive shaft remained in place) , sadly on completion , I now have both oil and water leaking ... my assumption is that both oil and water seal are not seated correctly - when I fitted them , both were tapped into place using the relevant sized sockets, so I now have to repeat this all over again .

Has anyone else recently suffered this problem (there was a post in 2016 about this issue) what else can I do to ensure correct sealing ?

Thanks
