The Fiat Tipo and Tempra were a pair of successful models launched by Fiat in the late 1980s and early 1990s, filling the gap between the smaller Uno and the larger Regata. The Tipo, introduced in 1988, offered a contemporary design with a focus on practicality and affordability. It was available in hatchback, saloon, and estate body styles, catering to a wide range of customer needs. The Tipo was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and good fuel economy, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike. It was also lauded for its innovative use of plastics in its construction, contributing to its lower cost and relative lightness. The Tipo was a global success, selling over 2.3 million units over its lifespan.

The Tempra, launched in 1990, was a more upmarket offering, featuring a sleeker design and a more refined interior. It was also available in hatchback, saloon, and estate body styles, providing a more stylish alternative to the Tipo. Both the Tipo and Tempra were offered with a variety of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 liters in displacement. The Tempra also boasted a 16-valve 2.0-liter engine that provided a more powerful and sporty driving experience. Despite the popularity of the Tipo and Tempra, their production ceased in 1996 as Fiat shifted its focus towards newer models. Their legacy, however, lives on, particularly in developing countries, where they remain a reliable and affordable option for transportation. The workshop manual you're looking at provides detailed technical information for servicing and repairing both the Tipo and Tempra, covering all their engine variations, body styles, and internal components.
