Hello together, my father-in-law wants to change the two-mass swing wheel at the Fiat 500v(312, BJ. 05/2011, 1.2 liters, 69hp). Does one of you have the necessary torque for the screws? On the internet the information is really hard to find for the car Thanks in advance and many greetings Matthias

Hello, can you read/delete the fault memory of the Fiat 500 with the OBD plugs/readers available on the market by default? Specifically from year of construction 2016 with a yellow OBD plug input under the steering wheel? Have read, for example, that the ANCEL AD310 OBD2 diagnostic device, which is sufficient for the general error memory read/delete fully comen. Is there anything to consider? Do you have recommendations up to 50€? Thank you and greetings

Hi my first post here. My Fiat 500L year of construction 2013 seems to rust the body between disk and panoramic roof. It started with the water from the ceiling lamps at the top in the middle, then I expanded the module, and one looks like the water from the Palatinate drips. It seems as if two panoramic roofs (that is fixed without opening) and the sheet zw disk and panoramic roof water stood up until it has found its way through the Palatinate. Has someone ever found its way through the Palatinate. something similar experienced with his Fiat 500L with panoramic roof? Currently I assume that windshield must be out, which probably breaks during removal and thus treat new, and then the Palatinate, and the rubber lip at the top of the roof renew to prevent re-entry. I tried to seal everything up, but some water can always still be pure. At parking Fiat 500L I have seen that at the panoramic roof the rubber is also left and right ng that this has to be a weakness, because as soon as water gets behind it it flows to the deepest point until it comes through there. But it can’t escape anywhere. Thanks for reading and I’m curious about your experiences.

Hello everybody, I’m new here in the forum. We bought a used Fiat 500 for our daughter. Yesterday when sucking the footroom, I noticed a white cable that comes out of the passenger seat below and the end is loose in the footroom. I didn’t notice this cable before. Does anyone know what this cable is for? Looks like a “empty tube”, a wire in the cable I can’t see. Would I be happy if someone could tell me what this cable is. LG

Heyy, after I’ve been browsing the forum a little bit and thinking about my 500X, a question has arisen. After the almost 10 years old navigator in the vehicle seems a bit outdated I wanted to ask if you can retrofit this from the Facelift quite unproblematic or if it would be wiser to use a Fiat external radio. Found a few pages in the net that apply for a plug and play installation. What do you think about it? Have you maybe retrofitted your Raduo before or I have a 2015 500X and it has the big infotainment system. But the radio from the facelift is a lot nicer… ^^ LG Rick

Hello, my name is Marco, I come from Frankfurt a.M.. My first car was a Fiat Punto (188) so I am familiar with Fiat properties. However, I am still new in the topic Fiat 500C, but I have now looked at a car and think about buying it. During the visit I noticed that when the cover is open, when the cover is crossed between the deck and the trunk, where the cable pull of the cover is led around the corner and lies, so to speak, free, on one side of the Fa On the other hand, the jacket is still there. When driving the cover, you can easily hear noises from the cable pull, i.e. when tensioning the train. Now, of course, the question arises whether and how a repair of the thing is possible. I hope you can help me there. In the depths of the www I found nothing to do with it. Many thanks and greetings Marco

Hello, I recently had a small accident with a Fiat 500 car rental, which I rented from the provider Share Now. After the repair I received an invoice, which seems to me to be very high in relation to the damage. Since I have a driver’s license, but I do not own a car and had no accident so far, I would be interested in a second opinion. The following happened: When I parked again I missed a side-placed street lantern and am I looked at the back of the car and could only see a small crack in the rear bumper (see picture). The street lamp is made of solid steel and undamaged. Since there were no witnesses, I was now faced with the choice to cover up the incident and just keep driving (that’s not even so few doing it at car sharing), or to face the matter and report the accident. I decided to go for more letzeres and report the accident. e the accident. The handling was problem-free: fill out a phone call and a form. So the thing was done for me for the time being. Since basically only some plastic broke, I expected about 300€ to 400€ damage. So far so well. I was not surprised, however, when I got presented at the end of the last week an invoice of ~1300€. In fact I have to pay “only” 750€ excess. The invoice seems to me excessive: spare parts: 4 X S CHRAUBE 6.24€ 2 X LABOUR 7.44€ 4 X CLIP PROCESSING 4.85€ 2 X CLIP PROCESSING 3.26€ 2 X LABOUR CLOTHERS 4.32€ PROCESSING 12.00€ TOTAL SUPPLY PARTS …………………………………………….. 38.87€ Wage (189.00 EUR/STD): PREPARATION PERIOD VEHICLE: 37.80€ LABOUR SPEAKERS AND LOANS: 94.50€ CLOTHING: 103.95€ PROTECTION LABOURERS: 9.45€ DISCRIMINATION FROM INSTITUTION: 189.00€ TOTAL WORKING WITHOUT …………………… …… 434.70€ Coating: STOSSFAENGER H REP LACK UP TO 20%: 103.95€ DECKEL STOSSF H DECKLACKATION: 18.90€ ROAD TIME FOR 2 SHIFT LACKING: 302.40€ TOTAL LACKING INCL MATERIAL …………………………..616.61€ REPERATURE COSTS WITHOUT VAT………………..1 090.18€ REPERATURE COSTS WITH VAT…………………1 297.31€ Apparently, the rear bumper was not even replaced but painted very elaborately. ? The hourly wage of 189€ / h is already quite sporty… Has anyone ever had a similar kind of accident here and then got a similarly high bill? Is this so common in car accidents or am I being dragged over the table here?

Moin together, as the short-term owner of a new 500, I am surprised at the warm temperatures about the cooling performance of the air conditioning… I have the normal manual air conditioning inside. So not the air conditioning. According to stickers in the engine room with R1234yf (this devil stuff haha). My first car with it. Supposedly it cools just like R134a but I can’t judge it yet. No matter how I adjust the air conditioning, it doesn’t really get cold air out. I know, cold empfi I like it cold… But if I turn up the cooling capacity fully (i.e. turn the temperature regulator clockwise to the stop), set the fan to “3” or “4” as well as the air flow direction to “driver/passenger” without pointing to the footroom or anywhere else, not really KALTE air comes out. Cool, yes. But not really cold. My Jaguar XJ has cooled the air to such an extent that condensation water accumulates at the ventilation nozzles. Volvo C30 has already been able to cool it almost at polar circle level. However, both had an automatic climate control. If I put on “circuit air”, i.e. close the fresh air flap, it will be slightly colder, logically, because the air has already been cooled down and then cooled again. But that can’t be true… Or? Just a car that was developed in hot Italy should cool down really well… Greetings Damien

Hello together… I just thought for myself, what I really lack here a bit would be a thread for all who are just waiting for the delivery of their 500… You could get rid of the waiting time together So, who is currently waiting for his Luigi?
