Hello, My girlfriend drives a Fiat 500 Lounge (EZ 04.2016) Twinair 105PS Lounge with the small 5-bit radio without a Navi but with DAB. From the beginning she used the Uconnect live app. Until about 2 weeks ago, the app and all services worked perfectly. Since then, when the app is opened, only the self-set photo of the car appears. Other functions are no longer available. In the app there was a short hint window. In the sense that the services were expired and you should activate them again on the Uconnect website. On the website however, there is no way to do this!? Does anyone know the problem ?

Hello dear people, could you look at the picture jmd. and tell me to what extent the shown rust (though certainly only superficially) is “normal” for a 5 year old Fiat 500? Was a bit terrified when I looked under my wife’s car. Thank you very much.

Has anyone ever done this successfully? Or has a link described what needs to be set as where by MUS, so that all systems work properly with the new 7″?

After one day (about 100km) I measured my 500 with the Eibach ProKit (30/30) lower. That’s okay, but I’ve got 10mm difference between right and left. On the right it’s 40mm lower, on the left it’s almost 50mm lower. Is this going to work with the time and then it’s the same, or did they build shit? With the spring quality of Eibach, it seems strange to me, especially the difference between right and left. In the measurement, the car was unloaded and I also did the counter-test at different parking positions in order to exclude terrain influence.

The car of my friend needs about 0.5 liters of oil at 1500 km. Is that normal?. I drive another factory and this consumption seems a bit much to me. How is the exact designation of the right oil for the 500 L ? What alternatives are there ? And another question: the oil level is difficult to read on the amber measuring rod. Is there a trick here ? I have seen that the installer in the workshop rubs the lower measuring area with something like chalk so that the oil level becomes more visible. Rudi

Hello, my sister has an odyssey with her 2009 automatic Fiat 500 behind her … After 4 workshops – some of which meant no problem, we could do – she has now landed at Fiat Frankfurt. They want to have 4200 euros for a defective clutch with control module – that is the complete Waaaahnsinn … Is this normal or does someone know a good workshop in this area, which also gets it at a reasonable price? Greetings, Jens

Hello together, at my FIAT 500C, BJ 2011, the roof completely said goodbye. The guide rods have gone out of the anchors and there is a hopeless mess, where once there was a folding roof. The workshop calls for about 7,500,-€. This is an economic total damage. Can you perhaps rework a roof of a 500C (e.g. with engine damage) on mine? Does someone have to have experiences or knows someone who can do something like that? I am absolutely no screwdriver and live in Münsterland. I would be very grateful about tips.

With a Fiat 500 convertible, the cover no longer closes completely. Is there any experience about it or also correction of defects?? Fiat first puts his hands in the lap and knows nothing about it. Thank you for your info ́s

Hello, we bought a 500C MJ 2023 from the dealer this spring. The car also has the UConnect 7 with TomTom Navi. The version of the map material seems relatively old to me. I always know that this is behind, but so far? The material is according to info: Europe v1095.11585 (published 07/2022) I also have an application version 14800.3378591.4227 on the device. Do you have /is there something more up-to-date? I also ask, because I did not find a lot on the device, for example this Eco-Spar app. In addition, we had the problem that the Navi went from a completely wrong location (when the navigation suddenly occurred).

Hi, I wanted to completely renew my front brakes (dishes + pads).Backside are drum brakes.Vehicle is a 10/2016, 1.2 69hp (Facelift) Lounge There are two different versions in the accessories for the discs: 240mm and 257mm Is that right that the Facelift models have the large brake discs from 2015 onwards, i.e. 257mm?Are there also different brake pads?If so, what would be the difference with the Facelift models from 2015 on?Do you generally have to pay special attention to the brake change? Which manufacturers would you recommend? Thank you for your answers and experiences!
