r/fiat500

Hi I’ve got a 2018 1.2 500 , thinking of doing a driveway oil and filter change myself , Going to lift car at the front with two trolley jacks one each side of the car and then put on axle stands or ramps to allow me access to the sump plug and oil filter .

Question I’ve got though is surely if the car is raised at the front but the back wheels are still on the ground , will all the old oil drain out ? I’d have thought the car would have to be level to allow all the old oil to drain out or am I wrong ? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi everyone , I’m drinking a 1.2 2018 500 . Just under 70,000 miles on the clock and living in Scotland , journeys are usually a 7 mile trip in a town , with occasional 60 mile round motorway trips and the very occasional distance trip .

Last oil change I chose castrol edge 5w 40 fully synthetic, it stated on the bottle for Fiat engines , Mechanic said I could use 5w 40 which is what handbook says , But mechanic says a 5w 30 could be used as well , anyone any opinions ? cheers

I got a quote for strut repair from a local shop and and worried that the price seems high. What’s a reasonable price to replace on a Fiat? (I know, I know. Fix it again, Tony.)

Does anyone have any recs on a 2012 pop C's black headlamp assembly. Do the abarth's swap or is there any aftermarket option?

Recently got a 2015 Fiat 500 Sport with the OEM Alpine components, excluding the beats sub. Kind of surprised by the OEM speakers but do want to upgrade them. Main music that will be played would be EDM Hardstyle/Hardcore/Uptempo music if anyone is familiar, often fast high bpm kicks + melodies.

I’ve never had an aftermarket system before, unsure on what to go for in terms of brand. A lot of what I have read seems to be that people like Hertz, JL, and Morel.

Just focusing on the front sound stage right now from the front tweeters (1inch/075inch) and door speakers 6.5inch) later I will get a dedicated Subwoofer.

I am curious as to how you all would build out such a small hatchback cabin. Willing to drop $250 to $300ish.

I was driving home from work and changing gears because heavy, followed by it completely locking where I couldn’t go into any gear (going into reverse would make a loud noise).

Left the car for an hour or so, and it briefly worked when started again and works when off - but not when started.

It feels like the clutch is half down, as in the compression isn’t what I’d expect as if it’s half extended.

I just had a service 2 weeks ago, so pretty strange as nothing came up - any ideas?

I used to have my beloved 2012 Green fiat and have missed her ever since she got into an accident. I am now looking to purchase a 2026 Fiat 500E here in Canada and just looking for some peoples experiences with the car as it would be my first EV!

- Does it come with all the cables to charge? Would I need to purchase any extra chargers for example, at a Tesla supercharger? I cant find a clear answer online.
- If anyone has the 25/26 model, how are you liking it? anything you wish you knew before purchasing?
- How much does it actually cost per charge? I am seeing so many different amounts online!

Any and all advice is welcome, but those are my main questions! I loveeeeed my original fiat so I hope this one will be a similar experience!
