Morning All!
Longtime lurker, first time newbie post
Bought the wife a Fiat500 byDiesel about 6 months ago, she loves everything about it and it’s ideal for her small commute to work and driving about town.
Got to admit it’s grown on me (I’m a Golf guy), and I’m now starting to investigate and work through some little issues to resolve for her.
Not looking for answers/help on this post but this is my todo/investigation list:
- Front fog lights not working (rear are fine)
- Air con not kicking in
- Tailgate switch stuck
- Blue & Me fail (standard I read)
- Engine Breather Hose replacement (on order)
- Central locking locks then unlocks randomly
- Engine ECU faulty due to coil pack leading to misfires. (Virgin replacement in order)
- Driver seatbelt not retracting
- Driver Floor Matt missing
The most random one last is ignition key barrel appears to be different from door handle and fuel cap.
Usually this list would scare/overwhelm people and they would ‘flip/sell’ and start again but I like a project and she deserves to be ‘saved’. I’m a competent guy, know when I’m getting out of my depth with mechanics and electrics and can use a multimeter and OBD2 scanner with ease
Looking forward to our journey
