Ok so if u not familiar I got a 2011 tjet 120t 1.4 , 62.500k miles, looked like most mot & service history, it had a low sound from somewhere so at 800.00 I took a chance, well I looked on Google at car and common probs, M32 gearbox, was on way out, I thought the whine was the turbo, but it wasn't. So I got reconditioned one +650.00, then literally next day I lost cylinder 2 power, very rough ride, so that was sparks, dear ones, then brake pad sensor, them a cpntrol arm, finally the 18" alloy wheels seemed loose and at a Canter also missaligned tirewear. So I went to take a wheel of and 2 of 4 were loose, next wheel, 1 was loose, then next only 3 bolts 1 gone. Also the bolts seemed flattened by pressure, they literally just attached by mm. So I ordered the only other bolt 4 a tjet longer, almost x2 longer these were to long, I literally could see the 2. I GOT new ones , seemed to short , like 2 turns of torque wrench. Days then weeks , then brake pads snapped from clip, So I seen bolts from a BMW
Same head, angle , thread and length was good, although said not compatible I got email 16 new bolts , new hubs on wheels , plenty greese, All 16vwent in and tightened to correct tongue after pure time. So basically the nuts they said were OK official fiat were 2 short, because after 1 day had yo re tighten nuts, then I retightended em 2 days, still some movement but not much day 3 2 tightened bit more, then boom 3 weeks later no issues, YEAHHHH. Fully working, no death wobble, no metal clanks, no loose bolts been TOUGH 5 months. Old guy crashed into me BTW week after insurance wrote it off, lmao, I bought it back, it was a tiny , palm sized dent, ridiculous. THE END
