PLEASE NOTE: We have received several comments in regards to the multi-air filter having dirt from my glove on it prior to installing it into the engine. When filming the video, I did see that there was dirt from my glove that had got on the multi-air filter. However, right before installing the new multi-air filter into the engine, you will notice I wipe the dirt off on the red rag at 12:05. Thanks for watching!
Does this apply for the 2.4 with the multi-air as well ?
@@chriswright4865 The dirt stays on for the 2.4.
@@Chris-rq4wj ok that’s funny

Thank you for the good write up.
Done. Two things for the mechanically challenged, like myself. Be careful removing the filter. The o-ring on mine lost elasticity and came loose in the hole. I had to fish it out with a pick. Also, be careful when wrestling the timing belt cover during removal and -re-install. The tab that holds the bottom screw breaks off easily. Trust me. Now to find a new cover. Took me a while, but I was eventually successful. Thanks Brian.
Great tips!
I actually need to do this today. Even for someone experienced with these cars, it's sure nice to have a Bryan video to review before starting the work. Thanks Bryan.
Appreciate Greg! I definitely laughed when I read “a Bryan video”. Too funny!
One of the most thorough car care videos I've ever seen. Thank you!
Excellent video Brian; extremely detailed, thought out and paced well.
I will definitely think about doing this in the warmer months, though likely not until next year; definitely bookmarking this as reference!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
God I love your videos. Gives me so much confidence to tear this little mighty mite down. I know I can just rewind if I miss anything. Thanks for doing these.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Keep up the good work Brian
Thank you!
Another awesome video, Bryan!
Great video! Helped me a ton. Thanks!!
Great job as always. I had never even heard of this filter. A lot to learn about multiair
Thank you!
I just learned today how expensive it is to repair if the multi air actuator goes bad 😭
Thanks for making this video!
You’re welcome! Glad we can provide these videos for the community!
Great job brian👍
Hey.
70yr wifey just bought an GQ fiat 500.
She did research on this filter.
So now the fun begins.
Thing has 35,000 miles 014. Also has an aftermarket intake on it.
Hey this video is 1 of the best produced I have seen.
Thanks again.
Thanks! for another Great video!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video! Looking jacked bro!
Thank you!
Great video Brian, thanks for posting this up. I and some others have been able to change the Multiair filter without removal of the mount. A ratchet wrench and 10mm stubby bit can fit behind the mount in some cases allowing access and removal of the filter.
Appreciate the tip. When we do these videos, we try and provide the way that will be the easiest for the “DIY’er”. There is no doubt that I believe you can access it without removal of the mount but considering it only takes an extra 5-10 minutes to remove the mount, we felt this was the best way to present it. There is so much more room to work with the mount out of the way. Again, appreciate the tip and I’m sure there will be some that will follow the route you suggested. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the really helpful video and part number too. I have a Renegade 1.4 and there's very little info on such service operations. Even official dealers don't do that in my country.
I accidently came across this video... I have a 2018 with the same motor... 60k miles and kinda rough idle. I've done plugs, coils, etc... found another saying this filter can cause rough idle. Fuck my life.
Looking forward to doing this currently only got about 50,000 kilometres and always change oil before recommended (3,500ish) as a precaution
Nice work. Thanks
Thank you!!
Thank you!
Youre a beast...👍🙏 thank you
Hell of a video, bravo. Seems like an even easier job for the non turbo cars.
I apparently watched this 7 months ago when I bought my Sport.
Here I am now watching it again after trading it for an Abarth haha
Dope channel
They are not low cost but a bypass oil filter would make a lot of sense. They take 5% to 10% of the oil flow but filter to 1 micron. Standard full flow filters are 25 micron.
On my 2013 POP there is a piece on the timing cover that is in the way of getting the screen out.
It’s actually possible to change the multiair filter without removing the motor mount. Little more of a pain in the ass, but doable. Took me about 30 mintes
Hello Brian. I have a 2017 abarth The battery negative terminal (only) is getting rusty. I found kind of hard to remove the cables, so I can clean the whole area properly. It looks there is a ring that prevents to pull it out. Any advice, please. Thank you for your videos.
That's a nice hot air intake.
I have a 2013 fiat sport and I tried doing that job but somehow the bottom side motor mount is different. I guess I need to undo the side bracket that goes over the timing belt. Have come across any light that?
You didn't mention the differences in models my 2012 sport is covered and can't get at the vvt screen with out removing the second part of the motor mount to the engine.
Guess while ur in there, should inspect timing belt. What’s ur recommended change interval for the timing belt/water pump?
Accost2u very true. Fiat states 150,000 miles but I would suggest 100k-120k
Hey, Brian. I recently bought a 2012 Fiat 500 (95,000 miles; 5 speed manual) that turns out to have an low oil pressure issue. Typically I get a pressure warning only once the engine is good and warm and I am gearing down to a stop. In spite of the warnings, the engine seems to still run fine. I've had a mechanic verify that engine pressure is, in fact, low; which seems to rule out a sensor issue.
None of several mechanics (incl. a Fiat dealer) has been able to solve the issue.
Do you think it could be caused by a dirty multiair actuator supply filter? None of the mechanics has raised this as a possibility. Possibly because they don't even know about the filter's existence!?
I'd hugely appreciate any info or guidance you might have to offer! Thanks.
Another great video for my abarth! I'm at 115k kilometers now and in planning to change water pump + timing belt (do you have a video for that? 😁) and since I'm there I'm gonna replace the multiair filter as well. One more thing, since you're removing the engine mount support, is there a way to inspect it if it's in good condition or not?
Thanks again for a very informative and detailed video!
I have this process described in pics and text from the motor service blog. Let me know if you're interested to look at.
Thanks a lot @@udarnik09 would you be so kind to provide me with such material? I much appreciated your help!
Doing mine in my 13 dodge dart 1.4 sxt tomorrow or Tuesday. Doesn't look too difficult. It's basically the same on dodge dart.
Same motor, same process
Great, but it doesn't work on a 2013 non-turbo. The motor mount attached to the engine is in the way. How about a video for that?
Hi interesting video.
Is it possible to only clean the filter?
Did you see than you mount the filter with dirty on the Oring? realy not cool...
If you are going to go to the trouble to remove the filter, I would just replace it. It’s $40 shipped from us
I think you forgot to re-attach a ground wire to the coolant tank's mounting bracket.
Hey has anyone heard or experienced so called high engine oil use, on Abarth type engine. Wifey just bought an 014 with 35,000 miles on it.
Any info would be helpful.
Thank you.
If you find out anything about these engines, its that they love to drink oil. Any turbo car will start to do so at some point in its life. Get comfortable with checking your oil every time you fill up, or every other time you hit the station if you drive easy.
What symptoms should we look out for with a bad (clogged) filter? I have a cold start misfire I haven’t been able to diagnose. No leaks, fresh plugs & coils. 70k miles. Could this be it?
Not likely but it wouldn’t hurt to replace it as a precaution. This part is very inexpensive and as you can see does not take a lot of time to replace. I would change it regardless if you have 70k miles
probably the multiair actuator unit, mine has an oil solenoid valve stuck on cold starts.
@@OtoKirooReborn did you replace the unit? i have the same shit on cold starts. shows misfire on cylinder 4. a couple revs and it's fine. have you tried seafoam or anything?
Did you by chance get this figured out/fixed?
Mine does it too. But really bad in extreme cold. Fouls the plugs
I have look on a couple of places for this filter, but when I check for fitment on a 2012 Sport, it says that in not compatible... so does that multiair engine has it? I'm assuming that yes, but is the same part?
Gabriel Hernandez it should be the same, located behind the timing cover
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Great! I'm getting the same part then! thanks! Awesome video by the way!
Is this only on the Abarth model's?
Raf Cade all 1.4 liter multi-air engines
Lo vorrei cambiare sulla Panda twin air turbo quando cambio il filtro devo aggiungere poi dopo dell'olio
Same process on the 124 Spider 1.4?
Kelly Turley pretty much but likely easier considering it is located at the very front of the engine bay. I haven’t done one on the 124 spider.
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance There's a hose bracket that comes off the front by way of three 10mm screws, plus the plastic tube on top of said bracket that is held by a 10mm screw. A hose running from the coolant overflow tank also is on this bracket, but held in place by a rachet clip.. The upper timing belt cover is held in place by a captive screw on top, and a 10mm screw on the bottom right. I forgot about the one on the right, and cracked the opening in the process :-(.
You don't need to unbolt the wastegate solenoid, for which I lost a washer.
Do T-jet engines have this? or is just the multiair ones?
Only multiair.
💪🏽😅😂🤣
What about cleaning it if it's not in bad condition?
You can do that but why not replace it since the part is $40 shipped
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Only ? I bought it today morning in the parts store.
It costed me 58€ . Greece here 😝
Is this a dealer only part? I am not finding it online.

Why replace the part if it could just be cleaned? It would be different if it were a mechanical part but it seems silly to do anything besides inspecting and cleaning if its not damaged. Mind you, that might involve an o-ring and some thread sealant/tape.
Which code it will show if it does not change at 60k ?
No codes at all. This is a preventative maintenance
What year abarth is this on?
2013
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance thank you
UPDATE: The non-turbo 1.4l Multiair engine filter is not accessible without removing the Multiair brick.
WHOA! WHAT! Just to replace a filter?
I just did mine without doing all that. There's a mount for the motor mount that has to be removed from the block. It has six 13mm bolts that have to be undone from the block and the 3 lower bolts don't need to be pulled out of the mount to do it, just completely unthreaded from the block.
You don’t have to remove the engine mount I have 17 500 Abarth and just did it without
Why replace the filter when you can simply clean it just fine with brake cleaner of gasoline?
The filter is $40 usd shipped. Why risk doing the job twice? It’s enough work to get to it that not replacing it wouldn’t make sense
I agree with this comment. If the filter screen comes clean with some brake clean/detergent. It's good to go. Plop it back in. $40 is wild for a tiny little filter screen.
you dirty the oring/sealing with dust...
Look at our pinned comment at the top of our comments section
The Abarth must have different motor mounts because this absolutely will not work on my pop. There is no room whatsoever to get the Allen wrench in there
You have to take off the mount for the mount. It has six 13mm bolts and kinda blows to get loose. The bottom 3 bolts can remain in the mount once they're all out of the block.
Holy cow that is a stupid amount of work to replace a stinking air filter. What the heck were they thinking.
Mopar parts doesn't list this part for my 2013 Abarth, are you sure this applies to 2012 and 2013 models? PN 68189847AA
Kurt B yes. The car I installed it on was a 2013
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance strange, the Mopar website shows a cutoff at 2014 and doesn't even reference the 500 Abarth. www.amoparstore.com/oem-parts/fiat-multiair-actuator-oil-supply-filter-68189847aa?origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9tbzBRDVARIsAMBplx-prhdROTJRwdl1w0PkLK45UOhAjDE-mClqV53fPfbQM_Cvbk1mJD4aAvaZEALw_wcB, Thank you for the video and your reply.

It’s easier on the other models
