any idea of what are the difference in internals of an abarth 595 180hp and 595 140 hp please ? 312a3000 and 312a1000

what mileage did you change the belt at? Mine is at 53k and I'm getting anxious about when I should change it.

youre awesome, thanks

I got the upper engine mount off pretty easily.

A lot of unnecessary steps in this video. No need to remove vacuum pump and vibration damper.

I bought a white 2013 Abarth in February. Been looking for the perfect one since I saw this video

you need to get soem better tools my man. so much struggle could have be easily avoided.

I just got a 2013 convertible. So far I love it.

Mucho machos could also be a good option!

No need to do any dismantling in fact. Remove head of oil filter. Reach down. Upturn head. Remove filter from cap with one hand. Bring up. Reach down again and bring up cap. Place new gasket on cap. Place back down in engine bay inverted. Follow down with filter. Place filter in cap. Turn filter around and screw in.

7:50 that is the trunk support on the way out, I just replaced mine, it work perfectly now, it an be support itself when you lift it up about 1 foot, then it can open up all the way by itself.

Thinking about buying a used Abarth. If the timing belt has been done, awesome. If not, maybe ill buy a Civic 😊

25 inches in mercury. Thats what the units are

How did you get the bracket out for the motor mount? You say you struggled with it and I too am struggling. I can't jack up or down enough to get every bolt out. But either way, it wont come out because of the stud on the bottom. The frame is in the way and the stud seems way too long to actually get it out at all.

The worst brand available GMB

@Wheels & Things - Thanks for a very thorough review!

How did you get the second motor mount out? I have all the bolts out and it is loose but no matter how high or low I jack up the motor..no clearance...did you have to remove the very bottom mount as well? My 1.4 does not want to jack up high enough..???

I am about to start this procedure on a 2012 fiat 500 1.4 na and notice the a/c pipe is directly above the timing belt cover ..my question is Can this timing belt / water pump procedure be done without disconnecting the a/c ?

Hi! Love your video! I have a 2012 non-turbo Fiat 500 Sport. I am thinking about having the timing belt and water pump service e done. The car is 11 years old with 113000 miles. How many miles were on your Abarth when you did your service. Based on another one of your videos I believe it was 165,000? The manual calls for the service at 150,000 or 15 years. Based on your experience, would you advise me to do the service at 113,000? I drive about 6,000 miles a year. Thanks!

Pain in the A$$. But it's possible 😅

thank goodness! I thought the engine has to come out for that lol

I was just remove the rear seat altogether, nobody's ever going to ride back there.

seems a lot of know how and work to change a timing belt not sure if any mechanic unless those who had done one can tackle that easily???

Why is the front bumper removed?

Yes. When I removed the front end of my Abarth, I ripped the right side fog light wires.

Were you required to remove the engine flex mount from under the vehicle or just the passenger side motor mount?

Brilliant video

Thanks for sharing your experience! Nicely done!

I really like your Abarth videos.

You did an absolute bang-up job on this video, and I know you have said in a previous video you are an engineer and it shows. I can tell you much quicker why it is so fun and cheap to own much more quickly. Because I own a 2017 500 Abarth bought new and I love it!

Bought a brand new 500 Abarth in 2017 with 30 miles on it. This month with 17, 120 miles on it (5 years later) the multi air system crapped out. $3000 in total repair and labor bills. Not happy with that especially after babying the car, using special fuel, oils etc as per the manual. Dealer says it is very rare but it happens. GRRR!

Mime came with a gasket for the pump too. Any leaks with just the rtv? I've read everywhere to ditch the gasket too.

I have 205. 17s. Tires and rims on my 2015

I was waiting for blues clues to pop out 😂 good video bro I will be buying this tool soon it’s so much cleaner then the old school way

Cool road to drive that bby

pretty awesome that you have 166k MILES!

Thank you so much for making this video. its almost time for a new belt on my abarth. your video was very informative. i feel more confident about taking on this job now.

How’s the abarth these days?

Great review. Just got one same year, and i love the driving experience, pure drivers love.. super fun affordable toy

This one will drive to 300k miles! The door lock/unlock is very neat.

So, any updates? I have a 2013 with 17 inch wheels, around 45K miles on it since new. No issues, changed the sparks at 25K, changed the battery, oil changes every 6 months, 3rd set of tires.. just using for short commutes mainly and weekend drives (other than one 600 mile total round trip).. burns oil, but just need to keep an eye on it and top it up. Having driven many other faster cars, and owning a WRX, I can say the Abarth 500 is more fun than pretty much anything else less than 30K. Changing the shifter with a short shifter, and adding a 'Madness go-pedal' were the best mods.

Just saw this. At my request, I asked my mechanic to do timing belt service at 120K on my 2013 Abarth. How many miles did you drive before your car stopped losing coolant?

W&T- Thank you for all of you effort in this video! I know how time consuming it is to edit videos to be a fluid presentation. You did a great job! I mostly appreciate your engineering approach to the car's feature. You have a good cadence to your voice. I would only suggest you allow yourself to get verbally excited when you talk about a feature you really love. Other than that, this wss great! It helped me make the decision to buy one. I would like to know the year of this car and the differences between the years this model was available. Keep making videos about this car. I am subcribed.

I know this is an older video, but I bought a 2017 Abarth with 200 miles on it for a song and a dance in 2019 because no one wanted it. I guess it's due to Fiat pulling out of the USA and also the old "Fix It Again Tony" quality issues. It's now mid 2022 and with 25k miles it's has been the most trouble free car I've ever owned, all I've done is regular maintenance. It's an absolute blast to drive and being the pearl yellow, with the black Abarth stripe and some other mods I've down like blacking the tail lights, turn signals and headlights (not the driving lights) it's a bit of a head turner. On the highway at 70 mph I'm getting 36 mpg and combined 32 mpg. A great little hot hatch that I plan on keeping for many years.

162k miles? How long have you owned it? Tint the sunroof if it is to much

I'm waiting to get my Abarth 500 papers for PA. 2 weeks of calling. I love this car. Still driving a 2012 GMC Canyon, until tags are good.. For offroad automatic transimittion seems ok, but I miss manual transmission for everyday..

It's a bit easier if you go through that little triangle right above the headlight. That's where you would stick you extention and it'll lead you straight to the filter

something most people do not know. If you quickly lock and unlock the doors from the interior handles, it activates the trunk button so you do not need to remove the key and use the fob to activate it. The car does have variable delay wipers.. just that the driver does not have control over the delay, it is set by the speed of the car. Kind of a weird way to do it, even by fiat standards. My 1977 Fiat 124 Sport Spider has a similar interior door handle/lock button. Pull up on the handle to open the door, push it down to lock.

There are nice after market leather replacement straps you can get to replace that trunk pull.

The used price on these things is probably the best dollars to fun ratio you can find right now. As someone said below, enjoy the little monster.
