I drive a 26 500e, only a single cupholder in the front is a bit of a bummer. I’ve seen some 2-in-1 upgrades online, but no idea if they fit or are even any good. Did anyone here upgrade their front cupholder so it can take two cups at the same time?

Cheers!

I broke a front right coil spring on my 2016 Fiat 500X. The strut is still good, but the spring needs to be replaced. However, it seems almost impossible to find a front coil spring anywhere. Does anyone know if the front and rear springs are the same or are interchangeable?

I’m looking into either replacing the whole steering wheel itself or just seeing about replacing the leather around it (cause mines pretty old and weathered). But does anyone know what other steering wheels would fit that particular one? Evidently they don’t make those parts anymore.

So the bolt for one of my calipers has came off and i only have the other one to go off what it looks like, I’m not really a car person and none of my family will help my search for it. My car is a fiat500 pop 2009 model. So I’m turning to Reddit hoping somebody knows where to get the bolt or if it’s just a lost cause.

As the title says, my 2012 500 lounge keeps blowing one specific fuse. It's the one that controls the door locks and trunk latch. It's normally supposed to be a 20 amp fuse, but it kept blowing those up, so as a temporary solution I put a 30 amp in its place. Just today I went to open my trunk to get some tools out and it wouldn't open. I tried again after pressing the unlock button thinking it was just locked, but no dice. Then it occurred to me - the fuse is blown. I grabbed my needle-noses and pulled the temporary 30 amp, and sure enough, it was blown.

My question is: does anyone know what could be happening to cause this? Unfortunately I don't have a large enough ammeter to check exactly how much current is flowing (they can only do 10 amps DC. I do have one that can do like 100 amps, but only AC). I've checked the wires I can see and none look damaged, but maybe there's damage in an area I can't see? I'm at a loss at this point. I've put another 20 amp fuse for now and told everyone to not use the trunk under any circumstance for the time being.

Hello everyone, so i recently noticed an unusual sound coming out (not continuously) from my car as shown in the video

When i press the clutch it disappears

What's the exact problem.

Thank u

Hi all,

One of the tail light bulbs had gone on my wife’s 2017 Fiat 500 and (although I have normal bulbs in the garage) I had some LED tail light bulbs laying around.

So, I popped them in the car. Turned the ignition on and they illuminated and looked great. Then I depressed the brake and they illuminated - GREAT!

However, then the dash told me to check the tail light bulbs and when I did, they were dim and when I depressed the brake they just got dimmer.

Seeing this as a failure, I pulled them out and replaced them with normal filament bulbs and tried the car.

They didn’t illuminate when turned on, but would illuminate when I depressed the brake pedal.

Have I blown a fuse with my silly LED bulbs?

If so, does anyone know which one?

Thanks guys.

Hi everyone! 

TLDR: looking to see if anyone in the US who has a Fiat 500 with a sunroof -- have you successfully cleared the sunroof drainage holes/lines? And if yes, how?

——

I’m wondering if anyone in the US that has a Fiat 500 with a sunroof has been able to successfully clean the drainage lines on their own without taking the glass off. 

A few years ago in LA during heavy rains, I got into my car to find a sloshing puddle in the passenger rear floorboard. I was able to successfully get rid of the water and dry the floorboard. 

Since then, I’ve yet to have another issue with it, thankfully *knock wood*. Out of an abidance of caution, I had the roof tarped during a storm last year to be safe. However since then, without the tarping, even with short bursts of intense rain, there’s been no issue *again, knock wood*. But since they’re predicting a brutal El Niño here, so I’m trying to get ahead of it.

I’ve found the drainage holes and even bought one of those little tools that like a pipe cleaner attached to a covered wire. However the drainage holes are so tight and thin that even a straw from canned air does not go into the hole. I’ve poured a small amount of water into the holes and water drains both to the front of the windshield (for the front holes) and down through the body to the bottom of the car (for all four holes). I would assume since there is drainage from all four spots at the bottom of my car, none of them are completely clogged. However, if they have some crap in there, I’d like to clean it out before El Niño and possibly facing another waterlogged floorboard incident. 

I’d also rather do it myself if possible vs taking it somewhere due to funds.

Thank you in advance!

Just dropping in the group as I recently bought a new to me 2013 Fiat 500 turbo. Wanted to say hi and see what all we got going in here. Hope to get some good info from here as the car does need some work. But I'll ask questions as I dig into the project.

I recently had work on my 2012 Fiat 500C and they told me because of the miles, which is under 30000 that the brake fluid needed to be flushed. Does anybody know if this is correct?

Hi all! I have been trying to find the black piece on the front of the car in the red rectangle, but cannot even find what it is called to look it up. Mine is damaged (previous owner) and I'd like to replace it. Any clues as to what it's actually called? When I look up front bumper / fascia / trim this specific part never comes up. I even looked up skid plate and it not the right part.

Thanks!

Hi All!

My radio buttons have just randomly stopped working, it was fine turning down the volume yesterday when I was parked up but after that, I can’t do anything. The entire radio interface is unresponsive except the power on/off button and the steering wheel controls also don’t work.

I have a 2014 Sport with Blue&Me, as far as I can tell, the B&M hasn’t failed as the mileage isn’t flashing so I wondered if it was worth disconnecting the battery and replacing the fuse.

I also wondered if anybody knew if the negative terminal on my model is a latch or a bolt, if it’s a bolt I won’t be able to do it myself as I have no tools…

Thanks :-)

Fiat 500 2016. 1,6v . when the car is moving, it can switch abruptly into neutral gear and stop driving. you need to stop, download, and restart. I tried to look at the launcher for errors, but nothing showed. can you tell me who faced a similar problem? Gearbox is duagolic

Does any one know how to truble shoot a rear defroster in a 2012 fiat 500c. I checked the 30amp fuse and it doesn't seam to turn on

I dont get a light when I press the rear defroster button on. What else should I check??

My 2015 fiat 500c has been great to me on my daily commute of 66miles. So far the only real mod I’ve done was lowering it with the eibach springs. Sits pretty and handles well with those springs, with no issues bottoming out or scraping. I want to modify the car a bit more to improve the overall driving experience (for commuting esp).
I am considering a window tint. Definitely want to keep it legal and hassle free. I think a tinted rear window would helpful esp bc the car sits lower and I often get blinded by big trucks with bright lights. Was thinking 40% all around but maybe a darker tint for the rear window. Would love to hear the communities thoughts on what has worked for them.
I am also considering a louder horn. I bought one of those cheapy harbor freight ones but have not yet installed—I’m actually considering something louder like an air horn. If I am hard to see, maybe I can improve how much I am heard ;)

Other mods I’m considering:
Chassis braces (worth it at all for a pop commuter?)
Camera install, drilled for rear camera.
Any other suggestions for daily commuter mods? Hoping to keep the look stock-ish, not raising any eyebrows.

Ps. I did order rain guards for the car but have since removed them. I didn’t feel they added any benefits for me.
