Well... it'll be just the 3rd and 4th gear then

Just a quick demo of how a broken shift cable and/or a broken shift tower can look like. Luckily, it happened to break when I wanted to reverse my car into our parking spot at home.

Still have to clarify with the shop what it is, my abarth gets towed today to the shop.

Thoughts on mods

Please give me honest opinion on if front splitter and side skirts look good or ruin the look of the car?

[European] 2021 Abarth 595 Turismo 165hp with 17400 miles – when should I change spark plugs and timing belt?

Hi everyone,

I have a 2021 Abarth 595 Turismo 1.4 T-Jet 165hp, first registered in September 2021, currently with around 28,000 km (17,400 miles).

The car is completely stock and is running perfectly. It starts perfectly from cold, idles smoothly, pulls hard through the rev range and I have no misfires, hesitation or warning lights.

The spark plugs are still the original ones from 2021.

My questions are:

  • When would you realistically replace the spark plugs on this engine?
  • Would you change them now simply because of their age, even though the car only has 28k km and runs perfectly?
  • Or would you wait until there are more miles/symptoms?

Also, the timing belt is still original.

I was thinking of doing the timing belt in 2027, when the car turns 6 years old, together with the water pump. The mileage will still probably be quite low.

For those familiar with the 165hp T-Jet: would you be comfortable waiting until 6 years, or would you do the timing belt earlier?

At the moment I'm planning to just do engine oil + oil filter + air filter and inspect everything else rather than replacing parts unnecessarily.

Interested to hear what other Abarth owners actually do in the real world rather than just the most conservative maintenance schedule.

Thank you very much in advance!

How the hell am I supposed to hold these floor mats in

Picked up my 2016 595 yesterday, floor mats were loose when I bought it but I have all 4 of these metal screws - does anyone know how I attach them to the foot well?

Knowledge on rear air passages?

Just began cutting up my fender liner to make these non-functional air duct’s functional.

Any advice on the process?
Struggling to find a material that I can use for a d.i.y air duct
What did you do to your Abarth regarding these?
Anything helps, my fellow Abarth drivers. Thank you!

Cambelt, water pump, major service ballpark cost?

As the title says I’m looking at a major service and changing the belt and pump, oil change etc on a 2010 595, will get some quotes in but wondered if anyone could give a rough estimate so I’m not going to get completely mugged? In uk for reference, south coast

Engine sound changed

Hey Guys,

sorry i know tis question is allready asked 1000 times. Gonna ask it anyway for peace of mind, noticed my engine sound changed a little and im not referring to the lifter/injectors but more to the fluctuating sound. 100% was not like this few months ago, car had a big maintenance 3000km ago with new plugs and coils and waterpump/belt as well. Anyone that can point me in the right direction or is this usual with the t-jet getting some kms and im making myself paranoid?

Thanks in advance

This should be your first 500 mod.

Blown away by how much better this handles. If you’re looking for your first mod to do, this is easy, fairly cheap, and takes about an hour if you’re slow like me.

Welcome to the party!

This is Mira, my new (to me) Abarth 595 Turismo!

Mira - Italian for 'aim' or 'goal' cos she's my dream car.

Once my savings recover I'm thinking some subtle mods:

- Bola B12 Wheels in Silver

- 70th Anniversario Badges

- Colour Abarth lettering in the bottom grill

I'm open to suggestions too!

Here's the link for the Lego Scorpion in Abarth Colours, it's my fave little addition so far.

And I'm never changing the plate since my pal pointed out it says 'Very Cool Abarth' 😆😆

RIP to my Hyundai (May) but she's going to my best friend :))
