Sunroof issue

The sunroof on my Fiat 500 keeps trying to lock too early and leaves this small gap. I have no idea what’s causing it, and attempting a reset doesn’t work

Has this happened to anyone else?

P0069 and P0107 codes

I recently bought a 2012 Fiat 500 (N/A 1.4 Multiair) and got these codes while I was driving.

It first flashed the ETC, ESC, and CEL lights, however, after restarting the car only the CEL light remained. I’m unsure if I should just change the MAP sensor and see if that fixes it, but I’m scared there could be a vacuum leak

If anyone had this issue, what were your results?

ETC, ESC, and CEL popped up while driving, but only the CEL remained after restarting

I recently bought a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport (North American) with 49k miles, and while I was driving it randomly through a check engine, etc, and esc/hillstart warning while I was driving.

When I pulled over to restart the car, it ran fine and even drove the 15 minutes home perfectly fine, however, the check engine light is still on, and I’m not entirely sure what’s wrong.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Can I replaced the Bose subwoofer with the Beats subwoofer on a 2012 Fiat 500?

Hello! Recently I just purchased a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport, and while it has the Bose system… it sounds kinda ass. However, my last Fiat had the Beats audio which, in my opinion, was really clear and really good especially as someone who enjoys a good bass.

However, I wasn’t sure if I purchased an OEM Beats subwoofer, would I be able to connect it to the existing sound system and take the Bose subwoofer out?

I’m also looking for good tips on aftermarket speakers that may have a good mix of clearness and bass.

Update on hard starting

I still have not been able to figure out exactly what’s causing my car to do what it’s doing, and I’m in a bad spot since I can’t buy a new car and can’t afford expensive repairs. (USA model, 1.4 Multiair naturally aspirated)

TL;DR for my other posts: When I crank my car in the morning it struggles around around 800-1000 rpm before finally starting.

Now into the meat of it. I’ve done a few tests to see what it could be and the first thing I did was hold the gas and crank to see if the Multiair brick was losing oil, I did it for about 10 seconds before starting the car, it still did it.

I then tried turning the key to let the fuel pump run a few times on another occasion, this still happens. I have a less than one year old alternator and battery, so I doubt it’d be those. My spark plugs (iridium) and coils were done less than 30k miles ago, so i’m just gonna throw a new throttle body (or at least this car’s version of it) and see if that does it.

I’m starting to get progressively more worried because I tried to start it the other day and it stalled before starting when I cranked a second time. Has anyone experienced this?

Starting issue (update)

I know have a video to show what I’m talking about when I mention my starting issue. As you can see it hesitates and holds around 800-1000 rpm like it wants to stall before it fully starts.

The whine btw has been on the car since i bought it 2 years ago, it’s just a pulley.

Starting issue

Hello! I have a 2013 Fiat 500c Lounge (North American) and when cold starting my car this morning it wouldn’t fully start and hovered around 800-1000 rpm kind of fluctuating between the two.

It’s happened several times in the past, yet, I haven’t been able to figure out what’s causing it. My spark plugs and coils were all don’t within the last 20k miles, I use the correct fuel, and all of my oil changes are done on time. When I turn the key I can hear my fuel pump, so I’m kind of lost on what it could be
