r/fiat500

Yesterday evening I started my car to drive home from work and the service engine message came on. The light is on, steady, not blinking. I drove it to work this morning. It has 94,000 miles, 2018 turbo, manual transmission. I just purchased this car two weeks ago from a friend who said it had regular maintenance and oil changes etc.

It’s not overheating to or driving oddly. Not shaking, no weird smells and accelerating and shifting normally. I checked the gas cap and it was tight. I’ve ordered a code reader that arrives tomorrow. Does anyone know what it might be? Where is the best place to take it? The Chrysler/Fiat dealership? What do I even ask a mechanic? This car lives where I work which is a different part of the country than where I actually live so I can’t take it to where I usually take the Fiat who lives at home.

hey! i have a 2015 500 1.2L automatic, 80k miles. i've had it about 3 months so far as a daily and everything has been perfect. however, i do notice when i'm coming from a stop or very low speed to try to get back up to 40/45 on streets quickly, my car feels like it is struggling a little. my rpms are usually around 3.5k-4k during this and then settle back down around 2.5k once i'm up to the right gear. i think i just have bad car anxiety because i'm coming from an 06 beetle that had a failing transmission haha. how high of rpms would you guys start to get concerned? is it bad to push the fiat a little to get up to speed of traffic quicker? no jerking or anything with the transmission though, just feels like it's kinda fighting with itself sometimes.

My friend is selling his 500. Automatic. Garage stored Florida car. I know he's done oil changes when needed. Car has zero issues. He's asking $5,000. Ive driven it a bunch, always enjoyed it. Would you pay $5k?

Hi all,

I am having to the change the door handle on a 500 (2015) and when I pulled back the door card it had asbestos tape on some of it. I will try and attach a picture. Is there anyway this is actually asbestos ?

I have replied below with a picture

Hi all, the title says it all, I was out of town for 3 months, she was driving perfectly before I left, I came back to dead battery. Called AAA, installed a new battery, didn't crank, it was quiet, towed it to the nearest mechanic (Pepboys) and they installed a new starter. Now it is making some noise but it wouldn't start. Is there any known issues that could cause this after sitting? I have a video of it as well. Thank you!

So the Fiat 500 engine space, so if I were to want to do an engine swap, what engines would actually fit in it or which engines definitely won't fit if I want to make my 500 into a great sleeper.

Bonjour,

Je souhaite changer l'autoradio d'origine dans ma Fiat 500 de 2012 pour la moderniser avec un carplay/Android auto.

Pour ceux qui l'ont changé, quel modèle avez vous mit et en êtes vous satisfait ? Les points positifs et négatifs.

Si vous pouvez m'envoyer le lien si vraiment vous avez trouvé un bon modèle.

Je précise,je cherche un modèle de couleur crème

Cordialement
