Replacing the Air Conditioning Compressor on Fiat 600

Model: Fiat Seicento MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Air conditioner

How to replace the compressor on your Fiat 600? The Seicento is not originally equipped for air conditioning, so to fit just the compressor, you need to change the drive belt mechanism. The "air-conditioned" Seicento has two belts, and the compressor is held in place by a new support bracket. Different pulleys are also required, and don't forget the tensioner. It's not worth making so many modifications for such a small car, although these jobs were done in the past. This video will cover cleaning and sanitising the air vents.
