    For 140k miles, that FIAT is in damn good shape! Good find, Randy

    Lots of great luck on that scoop, especially the dual fob action. They get a noisy bearing in the transmission. Lift it up, get a grip on both ends of cv axle going in to case, their should not be much play. If it feels like a teeter totter, might need a rebuild, but you will save mucho time if your axles still look happy, and at that milage, they are on their second set.
    About the best available for gas milage, power, no turbo, and a nice vvt boost over ~4,200 rpms.

    My wife bought a brand new Fiat 500X in 2016 it was loaded Italian leather seats power everything pull me over red. She paid 26500.00 ish and 5000 miles and 14 months later sold It to Carmax for 13 grand. Talk about loosing half it's value the moment you drove it off the lot. Fiat of roseville offered her 11500 for it. Didn't even want the car back. It was a blast to drive in sport mode but that was it.

    Sounds like gear whine. Still, it's amazing that it runs that well. Must have had a lot of servicing. Here in New Zealand, you don't touch them unless you get a cast iron mechanical warranty. Parts are quite scarce and expensive. Fiat has a very poor reputation for quality here too

    That sound Randy is probably not a throw out bearing. I’m pretty sure it’s the bearing on the input shaft in the gearbox. If the noise goes away when you depress the clutch pedal it’s probably because the pressure on the bearing goes away. But to “mechanical total” the car is crazy. Just find a gearbox in the junkyard and the car will be fine. It’s actually god cars and a very popular car over here in Europe😉

    What a nice little car.
    Here in Europe it's a very popular car. Especially women like it very much.
    They are definitely not as bad as they say. The multiair engines in fact are quite reliable as long as you change the oil regularly.
    Sometimes the multiair modules go bad which is quite expensive to repair.
    In fact here in Europe you don't see Fiats 500 with an multiair engine.
    But they are in a lot of other Fiat and Alfa Romeo products.
    Thanks for this cool video Randy 👍👌

    With the car being 10 years old and with approx 140,000 miles on it, it’s time for a full timing belt service. The owners manual list the timing belt service at 10 years/100,000 miles. FIAT dealerships were doing the timing belt at 12 years/120,000 miles. The service includes changing the water pump, the tensioner and the pulley. Having the timing belt break would be very bad.

With street pro tires I was able to take corners going 90mph and held just fine, off-roading was like a 4/10, it’s a little zippy go cart beat a couple badly tuned Subarus kept up with some genesis’s.

    The Fiat sounds like either like a throwout bearing or wheel bearing going bad. Sport is supposed to change the shift points of the transmission. In a manual it changes the air-fuel ratio somewhat for a faster take-off and changes the steering ratio for 'better feel' of the car.
