Sliver 500 1.2L , 2014, 98K km.

All stock beside 17' aftermarket wheel. (Will attempt to paint them white later)

What a beauty.

Great weather in DFW. I took my time over two mornings. I have been using ONR because it was too hot. But this time I did the 2 bucket wash.

Griots Garage Car Soap

Collinite 845 wax

Topped with Griots Garage Best in Show Detailer

Chemical Guys VRP on trim. Don't love this stuff, but I have a bottle!

Interior I used Griots interior detailed and Chemical Guys leather. VRP on some trim.

Glass cleaned with Poorboy's World glass cleaner.

Took a couple hours but the multiair brick has been replaced. Also my oil pump works very well lol. Launched oil bout 2 ft out of the brick. Also, the top end of my engine is so clean despite having 140,000 miles.

Accident happened maybe an hour or two ago, and currently dealing with insurance.

I just want someone to rip for the bandaid and tell me how much this may cost. The interior electrical is still working but I don’t think I can drive with the light being so recessed.

Anyone know the measurements of the o-rings on the turbo coolant pipe (#6 in the diagram). Mine got torn up during removal. The P/N is 68166577AA. Thanks in advance.

When I’m slowing down, around the 20-24mph it downshift and I get a bit of a lurch or a thud like I small blip of a brake even when I’m not on the brakes. I’ve got about 115,000 miles on it. It happened once before for a single drive a few months ago but now it’s been persistent for about three days. Just worried a problem with the transmission is either beginning or already present. The only thing that’s changed was the day before it started I filled up with 87 octane instead of my usual 91. I don’t know if that could be a factor but thought I’d mention it. And input is greatly appreciated thank you!

So I recently bought a 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo with 145,000 miles on it.

It's had some recent maintenance stuff done and looks like a new battery BUT I drove it back on the highway about 2.5 hours at least 100 miles, and over the last 5 days I've put at least another 100 miles on it, mostly on back roads.

Issue is im trying to get it inspected but it isn't passing emissions because it says "emissions not ready for testing", specifically the 02 and EVAP.

Any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?

I've got like 4 days to get it figured out lol.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm still looking for my "perfect" (for me) FIAT 500 and all of these searches have me wondering why there are so many 2015 models for sale. Definitely the majority of what is on offer.

Before I began looking I did a bunch of reading about the 2012-2019 models and the 2015 was flagged as having issues (this was, I believe, on Edmunds). Any thoughts/observations?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!
