The book is from 1982 and its title translates to ‘I drive a car: Polski Fiat 126P’. The book is more or less a more advanced user’s manual and talks about things that would be of interest to any Fiat 126p owner, from technical specs and servicing tips to common modifications or problems.
I browsed through it briefly before bed.
Huh, apparently the little Fiat has a safety cell and crumple zones. Who woulda thought.
This bit shows what can happen if you don’t secure your roof rack properly. Apparently an incorrectly installed roof rack can break off the roof upon braking and block the driver’s vision, or even cause a dangerous situation on the road! To be fair, they also offer good tips on how to do things correctly.
This scheme shows all the things a good driver should check and service and how often they should do it.
This one shows all the points that need to be lubricated.
Here’s a cool picture of the engine, showing the lubrication system.
Here’s the cooling system.
I don’t think you’ll find a guide that recommends you use fur seat covers these days. Apparently they’re warm in the winter but also offer good ventilation during the summer! The only downside, according to them, is that they’re rather expensive.
There’s a guide on how to install the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I got a few months ago.
Funnily enough, a few pages further is a guide on how to install a speaker, which I also got from a family friend along with the tachometer.

Pretty awesome! That speaker guide and tach install guide may be handy if you decide to put either in your 126! :)
Very nice of your grandfather to get the book for you! Was it his, or did he buy it somewhere?

The tach came with reasonably detailed instructions as well, unfortunately both manuals apply to older models that don’t have electronic igntition and therefore aren’t of that much use to me.
Grandpa found the book in his home library. It’s quite bizarre actually, since I don’t think he ever had a 126p.
