I purchased my Abarth 500 esseesse from new in 2009 and amazingly it has now reached 150k miles…and still has its original Clutch!!
Let me know what you think of the idea of a Part Restoration mentioned in the video?...
Astonishing as so many slate fiat's and laugh at the Abarth but have Never driven 1 lol 😆 also I think I nice rosso red wrap and refurb the alloys gloss black ! 👀😉👌
Agree apart from black for the wheels.
My 2013 Abarth Manuel transmission is almost at 200,000 miles still running strong
Great to hear!
Any major engine maintenance work?
Brilliant little cars!
I'm Not surprised what you say, the engine is bulletproof strong ,durable and can handle phenomenal power gains.. mine has turned 80,000 and its as sweet as a nut, smooth silent engine, pulls like a train through the the rev range, those lower arm's are quite common because of the stiff suspension and the low profile tyres, they take a constant hammering over the crappy road surface, it's usually the bushing that comes away from the arm so the arm drops and bangs against the subframe otherwise it'll be the lower ball joint, cheap enough to buy, it's worth doing both arms as the bumper will need to come off to remove them, I love mine, ive never had so much fun, we call mine the mini ferrari
😊🏎 🇮🇹
Totally agree…great little cars.
Say mate I bougth the same Abarth spec while living in UK took it back to NewZealand, and still have it, and I bought a yellow 2015 458 spider to your spec after viewing your videos on that, must be some weird stalker thing LOL, great to see your work keep it up regards Mark
Hey that’s really cool, really pleased I could help.
How has your Abarth been? Any issues?
Very intersting hearing your experiance with the car.
Thank you.
Hopefully you can enjoy our other content too.
Spotted one on eBay with 125k miles. Reckon it might be worth a punt? I'm mechanically minded but concerned it may end up a money pit
Depends on the car.
I provide technical support calls if you would like assistance with the purchase?
@RichReviews_ Thanks - I've previously restored an MR2 from (hopefully) a worse starting position. Found your video while searching for info on high mileage Abarths so thank you.
Not sure if it was this video or the newer one but you theorised your top end issue was caused by a loose/tampered bolt, so hopefully an isolated incident I guess? In general the 1.4 seems to be a robust unit, from online verdicts at least
Yes was a tampered stretch bolt that was loose and eventually led to the cog slipping and enabling the valves to hit the pistons.
👍👍
I like that you just use this car and think it looks good with its battle damage. I have a white 595 Turismo and never been that keen on that colour but the original 595s they raced were often white so I’ve grown learned to appreciate it. Love the wheels in titanium. Also love green cars. Sorry, I’m probably not helping 😂
Haha it all adds to the possible options.
There's one on ebay 150.000 miles on it guy wants top money for it😂
Unless he's had it totally refreshed then at that mileage and age worth very little
