  • Why is the Cinquecento so fast?

    Hi, have a question about the final speed of the Cinque Sporting. Did it happen in the summer with my Cinque the speedometer needle (180 km/h), downhill. Must say there was it at 6000 rpm and it would have been more in it by the swing. Only it was so that the temperature indicator accordingly quickly tracked towards the red area. Therefore now my question how much is with the transmission at all Vmax in it or can it be due to the summer tyres (175/50 13)? I put my hand in the fire that it is the truth. PS: Don’t ask me why I’m coming to this question now, I don’t know myself.

  • Running power Fiat Punto 1.2

    How long do the 1.2-litre machines (at Schekheftplege) last from the Punto? What performance do they achieve, and are there people in the forum with an engine damage with your Punto? Can you achieve a mileage of e.g. 500,000 km with such a small engine (fuel)? Is that true, which the engine lasts longer, the more space it has? Or is it just a “pull”. If that is true, why? How much “short distance” is it on the engine? With the Fiat I usually only drive Kurustrecken (wzei up to three times a day 2 km).? Is this extremely harmful? Is it possible that every month it is “extended” on the highway once. Is that true, that the engine cleans itself when you drive from time to time, or does it bring nothing? Thank you for your reply mfg franz

  • Gear damage Fiat Stilo 1.6l 72 TKM – today passed –

    Hello together, after I was always so satisfied with my Stilo, came today a hearty setback and indeed at the acceleration it popped at once very loud and it snapped, then after about 100 m to the right to look what is going on. First thought: timing belts, since the engine was still running, was probably excluded. Then got out and noticed that oil ran out. Then thought of engine damage, then looked, engine oil which at stand MAX, first eased. Dan n possible cooling water loss? No that also not, so then look at the oil exactly and it was gear oil. Then first ADAC called. I then went on the troubleshooting and then found thumb-sized gear box parts on the roadway, i.e. the gear box has torn it in shape. Well my question, can someone tell me about what in the worst case a new gear costs? Car is now standing at the Fiat dealer, who will look at the thing on Monday. the pictures and then write something to make me feel better 😉 Greeting

  • Lancia Zeta – Ventilation, blower, heating

    Hello dear forum members, I need some help with my Lancia zeta TD 1.) I have problems with the blower motor. The whistle and squeak at low blower level, and always driving with full blower level, is annoying in the long term. Where is this installed, and how can I get this? 2.) Where is the relay for the air conditioning (I think in the motor-side fuse box) located? This does not work for me, but can remind me that when I turn on the Anla This is no longer the case. 3.) The ventilation is not getting really warm, although the engine has operating temperature. Can it be that the heat exchanger is clogged or, or does anyone else have an idea? In advance, thank you for your help and at least for reading the text.

  • Mix red and blue coolant?

    Hello, with my 2.8 JTD I had relatively bright orange coolant in it (Paraflu). Now they have filled me with dark blue coolant (glycantine) at the filling station. Somewhere I have read, however, that one can not mix red and blue coolant, but I can not say, that the paraflu was red, it was at least bright and now everything is dark blue. Why can not the colors be mixed, what can happen and counts the paraflu to the red group? Gru ss Gerd F.

  • Buy me a Punto soon… and hello already 🙂

    Hi Forum, from Wednesday I am very probably also an Italian bought me today already half Punto 1,9 JTD bj. 2002. had to listen to me from my current forum already a bit criticism, by reason of prefacelift would be shit etc… what do you think about it ? has 130tkm down, tooth straps made at 105tkm, top maintained, looks great, black. only a little rust at the endpot, otherwise I could not notice anything. that does not jump back to the middle when you enter the empty passage (so it is not rigid but has a lot of play in the empty passage).What could this lie on ? the engine runs surprisingly quiet, quiet and cultivated. will pick up the nice greetings from the Corsa forum on Wednesday with new Tüv

  • Cooling water boils over, Cinquecento

    Moin, I have a Cinquecento, 899ccm, without air conditioning, BJ95 the water from the balance tank peeled out as soon as you drive faster than 80 times. The temperature is approaching at the speed then also quite quickly the 130° mark, but also goes down quickly again when you slow down again. I have changed so far: switch f. cooler fan, thermostat, water pump, lid for balance tank. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Eight, but it gets nice and evenly warm, so it’s probably not clogged. Does anyone have an idea where the problem might lie? Thank you for your tips. Greetings, Ralph

  • Grande Punto: Oil consumption problem

    Hello! Just looked at my Grande Punto 1.4 8V with now approx. 23,000 km times for the oil. I was shocked! The oil level was at the lowest point of the rod just so burdened with oil, maybe so 1-2mm!!! So not even in the measuring field was more oil!!!! (And I know how to measure the oil level!!! Was certainly no measurement error!) Last filled up the oil up to max at 16.000, when the car was bought! That means he consumed in 7,000 km so much oil?!?! 1. Why verbr Does the car have so much oil? What defect is there? If I have to know that quickly, because now there is still warranty/guarantee on it. 2. Should I not get some oil at FIAT free of charge if it is a defect? It is a defect consequence damage. I don’t want to pay for the expensive oil at FIAT. 3. Can I still drive with the car to get oil? Or do I have to fetch the oil elsewhere? 4. What damage could have been caused by the fact that I apparently have to I didn’t drive around with such a low stand until today, and why didn’t the car call me?

  • Play & Challenge – The Fiat Group in Film & Television

    Moin, I’m going to pick up an idea from the Mercedes forum at this point. I think this is a nice change and promotes the community’s thoughts and identification with the forum. I’m organizing a small game, here are the rules for this: Films, series (following) and music videos in which cars from the Fiat group can be seen. Here should be mentioned: film, series, series or video, as well as model of the vehicle. For a single viewing he If the first one posts it 1 point, the vehicle plays an important role (so it appears regularly or often) gets the first one to post it 5 points. I think it’s very important … it shouldn’t be used databases in any case. In the case of contested scenes, a screenshot would be desirable (I know this will not be possible for everyone). So … please be honest. If I have time, I can summarize the results on Sundays, otherwise I would ask anyone who achieves it. to add points prophylactically to yourself. Have fun and have a lot of success ! Greeting Kester
