  • Version System and Navi database

    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).

  • Different brake discs and pads

    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!

  • Is Fiat 500 recommended as a fun car for larger people (>190 cm)?

    I want to buy a fun car and it should be relatively small. The lower limit that I can accept is Fiat 500, actually Abarth 595 (the normal version, not Turismo or others). There is one problem: I am relatively large (192 cm) and therefore not sure if I have enough bursts in it (especially headroom). I know that the setting of the seats in height is extremely reduced at Abarth. And another thing that bothers me is that you have the Len before a test drive, however, I would like to know what experiences you have with it. I will buy the car again, but the branch is far away from me and I have to be sure that it is worth my time first. Unfortunately, I am not convinced about other small fun cars: Clio, Seat, Fiesta, Polo etc. Not the money is the problem, otherwise the quality of the interior, extremely deficient with many of you.

  • 500c, brake discs down after 50tkm?

    The Luigi of my wife is just for a 4-year inspection in the workshop. That the brake pads have to be new in the back was clear to me. But now the workshop says that the windows in the back also have to be new!? And the whole fun (inspection plus brakes in the back complete) should cost about 1,000€ (without TÜV mind). Of all other vehicles I know this actually so that one can drive with a set of disks 2 sets of pads. And that the discs hold 100-120tkm, at the back rather longer. I’ve asked you to keep the windows and present them to me tomorrow. I’m curious to see how they come to 1,000€. The windows and coverings are very cheap for the 500’er (<100€), even branded goods (Brembo et al.). Greetings Tom

  • Fiat 500 Automatic does not turn up when starting

    Hello, I recently bought a Fiat 500 automatic, built in 2019. The car does not turn up when starting up and stays in 1 gear, manual switching is not possible. If I turn the car off and on again it works again and the car switches without problems. The problem only occurs when the car is standing for a few hours. I was already in different workshops and no one can help me. Mistakes have been read out, apparently there are no. White long Sam really not further, depending on where I stand it can also become a real problem if I have to stop and the car has to restart. ???

  • Keep or sell?

    Hello community, I bought a workshop-kept 500×1.4 140hp with 43000km 1 1/2 years ago. The car was driven by an employee of the workshop, accordingly all oil changes and intervals were observed. In the guarantee time was changed with me the Turbo and AGR valve. After that was 6 months quiet. Now I have trouble, because the car has consumed oil after an inspection + a spark plug which was new broke. Car ran suddenly on two Zylinde rn, of course, had no performance. Workshop has replenished oil + candle changed. After that I drove 1000km and yesterday the same again. I did not move the car anymore and had to be towed away. I am now very disappointed because I was in the workshop for 4 times in 1 1/2 years, that is no wear for me. At worst it could be engine damage was told to me, at 81000km. A disaster for me. How would you trade: after the repair sell the car or maintain Thank you for your assessment!!! Greetings Philipp

If you continue the drive at normal speed the servo reacts again normal. Errors read out, battery and alternator tested without success. MfG Mayhe

  • Google Maps no longer using car speakers

    Hello, my wife drives a Fiat 500 C. She connects her Samsung mobile phone via USB cable to the car. Recently, the navigation via Google Maps no longer comes via the car speakers, but only sounds quite quietly from the range of the speedometer. So far, we have only reset the instrument cluster in the dashboard to factory setting. Does anyone have an idea how the navigation voice can come back from the usual speakers? Otherwise, my wife has nothing changed… V Greetings from Münster

  • Unreachable update service?

    So far we have loaded our maps for our 500c MildHybrid via the pages maps.mopar.eu. On this page, however, a message banner appears. Is there a new access path for the authorized updates within the first 3 years of the vehicle?

  • Automatic transmission switches to N while driving

    Hello, I’ve had the problem twice this morning that my automatic transmission is switching to N. And that in the middle of the highway I really have to stand completely with the car and change the gears back and forth until the transmission throws back into the first gear. Does or has someone of you the problem? What could it be?
