Honestly, I thought they couldn’t keep getting worse than a Nissan Juke but they just keep surprising me! This was unbelievable, I started to look on the passenger side thinking this can’t be real!
the air filter bolts are a stupid size if I remember (5mm?). Also, the breather pipe under the airbox needs to be disconnected otherwise you will snap the nipple off, like I did :(
6 vis pour bien fermer le couvercle du filtre à air, et avoir finalement un simple manchon amboité à l'entrée des pipes d'admission, c'est risible. Sur ma Uno on ouvrait le filtre à air avec 2 clips en 2 secondes ça suffisait bein
They have good rates and I really wanted to try something new. In all seriousness for some reason if I forget to “optimise” the sound when editing it doesn’t seem to work very well.
Araldite or JB Weld to fix broken plastic pipe back on or any other bit of 1/4” pipe if plastic bit is no good. Common fault that will be covered if you Google it.
Can't believe they don't put a £5 piece of plastic on the underneath to slow down the inevitable rot. Edit: Also dude please start wearing latex gloves when dealing with oil. Cancer is not funny.
They’re just sold to last a few years on lease aren’t they, nothing is built to last anymore. Agreed, I do try to wear gloves but they split very quickly.
Don't use latex gloves, they aren't strong enough. Buy a box of heavy duty Nitrile orange disposable workshop gloves. They look and feel the same as latex but are far stronger.
Thanks for confirming that changing the cabin air filter is an absolute pig of a job on right hand drive models. 👍🏻

I have been told the same- I think I will remove the filter and not replace it. After all it only stops dust. Who cares!
@@chookvalve your lungs might care 🫁
They’re piss easy to do if you just buzz out the 17mm pinch bolt and wriggle the steering shaft off. Everyone at the dealer I work at does it this way

quality video, easy to follow nice one 👌
Thank you very much

Many thanks ,my wife have 2020 Fiat 500 this is great tip! I can save money 💰 to do by myself ✌🏻
That spin on oil filter was easy. Try changing the oil filter on an Abarth. What a pain!
where is the fuel filter?
Quality video, thank you 👍🇬🇧
My oil filter is a canister oil filter that is on the top on my 2016 Abarth.
There is video on youtube where oil filter is changed from top, its fiat 500 too.

Did you record the audio by ringing-in from a public phone box in Brazil?

I can't remember any other car where to change the air filter you have screws to undo !
mercedes c class you have cancer star screws whic you need a speical driver for
Mazda 3 mk1 absolute pig of a job

Any tips on getting lead off as mine is completely stuck on two of the spark plugs, tried pulling out with plyers and no luck
Nice video mate! One question, since I'm going to do same maintenance in a forda Ka, did you find any washer after oil drain plug?
Thanks Simow, I can’t actually remember and I didn’t realise you can’t tell in the video, sorry.
@@IAMASPANNER no problem, your video is however awesome. I did it and no gasket, just the plug👍
I believe no washer required as new plug has thread lock, at least my replacement did.
Wish the 1.4 oil filter was like the 1.2..
Never Known a Mechanic wear a Watch while Working on a car Service 🤔
is it necceseary to put oil into the oil filtre before putting it on? it says on my box
Side on filter, you will only make a real mess if you try.
Hi great video. Which grade oil on a 78k 2009 1.2? I was told 5w30 would be ok
Thanks
Thanks Matt, we put Dexos 2 5w30 in this car, most cars are fine with it.
@@IAMASPANNER thanks Tolly! I phoned the garage who serviced it before I bought her. They used a 5w30 so will keep to that. Thanks for help
@@IAMASPANNER is dexos 2 ok for 2009 year?
@@mattavalon Hi Matt, Dexos 2 will be fine for this engine.
Do you not check your Plug gaps prior to fitting?
Come pre gapped have done for years now it would probably be good practice to check but no one does
Hi, what does the breather hose do ?
Mine broke of.
Is there an easy fix for the plastic piece on the air box ? The air box itself is quite expensive.
The breather hose vents crankcase gases, it won’t cause you any issues even if you leave it as long as dirt cannot get into the engine or air box.

23Nm is ok for sparks?
That’s the highest I’ve seen written on the box, they’ll either have a torque rating or angle tightening spec.
Hi, Is it possible to reset the service with OBD? Do you know some chip device? Thanks
Yes, I think some of the sub £100 Autel can do it but I’m not sure exactly which ones.
Why do we Fiat owners have to change plugs this often? Ngk's last a very long time.
Do 1.2s have fuel filter? Thanks!
Petrols don’t have a serviceable fuel filter.
Great video, really useful! Any idea where the fuel filter is located?
Thank you. On a petrol they tend to only have a filter on the lift pump in the fuel tank.
what oil do u use 5w*30 or 40 ?
Dexos 2 rated 5w30 in almost everything.

Engine mounts are gone on that thing 😂
Thank you, the Mrs. has been nagging for a while. The cabin filter is always a bitch on all cars, luckily it's a left hand drive model.
Thanks for the vid. what the actual fuck is this though from fiat.... worse than working on body, brakes or engine and its just a service item!
They make the cars left hand drive then we have to struggle with RHD ones
Hi great video I'm looking for the small tube that connects to the back of the air box .the smaller one.what is that tube called .cheers thanks
Is it the rocker cover breather pipe?
