I had a euro rear hatch installed on my N/A Abarth, but it didn’t have the square plastic screw insert/clips nor the screws that are used to mount the license plate. I’d like to ask if anyone knows the size and type of screw, used for this application and where I could find these small bits for sale?
If you have a picture of the screw, to determine the types of screw it is, I would appreciate it. One seller on eBay UK gas the plastic inserts, but won’t ship/post them to the US.

TIA

I was doing some general maintenance to my car (the one i just got earlier this week) and decided to change the linkage bushings at the transmission cause the shifter was wobbly and I just wanted it to be nice (it wasnt that bad i just wanted to screw around and replace stuff.) Used the BushingFix kit, it was the correct kit and went together smooth. Well today after only 3 days one of them exploded and left me only with 3rd gear and I chugged home. Im biting the bullet and just replacing the cables altogether cause Im not using those bushings again and I cant find the cable end pieces by themselves.

Is this doable without a lift? Obviously I know how to access the engine side but I cant find any good pictures that show me how I could feed the cable up through the center console. If anyone has done this before I could obviously use some advice. Thank you

Guys hear me out , I’ve been a proud abarth owner in the Uk for about 5 months now. However , every time I see an abarth from the us in my feed I just get jealous. It seems that the Abarths 595 in the us markets are just better. I mean Damm they come with heated seats and cruise control. Those features just take the experience of owning an abarth to even greater levels and it just does not seem fair that the Abarths in Europe don’t have these features. Yes we did have the update in design from 2016 in regards to the outside components. For example the break lights got a face lift. the Abarths in the us market did not receive this and still have the old break lights.But I just don’t understand why they would not provide the best features in the European Abarth since abarth originates from Europe. I know it’s cos the us market has different needs and wants but it just don’t sit right with me. Bear with me I’m not the best at writing but hopefully I got my point across. Also if I said something that was not factual in regard to the points that I made pls correct me. Let me know what you guys think!

Any Abarth tuners on the East coast?

Hey guys do you think its worth welding a cracked intake manifold on a tjet or buy a sport one and if the second option which one ?

Anyone run Megan racing coils on their abarths? I have the opportunity to get a brand new set at a decent price.. I have a friend who has them on his FRS and it’s been good to him for years now.. my car is not a daily driver so it’s understandable that the car will be stiffer with coilovers.. I do also know everyone recommends BC but Megan racing are made by the same company just not as beefy as the BC’s… any input?

Who’s got neuspeed springs on their Abarth?? I’m curious how the ride is? Also can you run them on the stock shocks or do I need to change them out?

TLDR: the aforementioned store sent me a used, defective MAP sensor and is denying me a return or a refund. What do I do?

A MAP sensor was causing a check engine light on my 2015 Abarth 500 which I purchased second hand. I decided to get the original MOPAR part as a replacement, instead of the generic BOSCH one.

I ordered one from https://www.mopardiscountedparts.com/, which offered what I thought was a reasonable price at the time. It should have been an immediate red flag that the part came with a clear signs of wear. The plastic screw hole looks "chewed", there is a shallow drill mark on the edge of it, and smudges of rust on the inside of the hole.

Despite those, I swapped out the part and tested it, which caused an abnormal engine behavior. After turning the key, engine would sputter for a few cycles and stall, unless I waited ~5 seconds with the ignition on, before engaging the starter. Additionally, if I blipped the throttle in neutral at a low RPM, the engine would hesitate and spin down for a moment, before spinning up.

Afterwards, I ordered a BOSCH 0281006028 from Amazon and installed it instead of the Mopar part, after which all problems went away including the check engine light.

I reached out to the store support to return it, but they replied with the following:

Hello. For a MOPAR part warranty, feel free to take your vehicle to a MOPAR repair facility to verify the failure.

You will need your original invoice. If the sensor is bad, it will be replaced under warranty.

I don't need the sensor to be replaced, I already did that. I just want to return the part and get my money back. How can I act in this situation?

So I bought my 4th Abarth 500/595 in November last year and have just been under it as the exhaust has started blowing from the flexi pipe and discovered that it’s a mild steel centre pipe with a resonator, it already had a stainless Magnetti Marelli Bombardome straight pipe on it and thought it was very quiet tbh. All the 595’s I’ve had before had stock exhausts when I bought them with the usual straight centre and resonator on the rear box before I replaced them with high flow stainless steel systems. Did some series 4 cars come with a centre resonator from factory?

Need help choosing coilovers for my 2018 fiat 500abarth. These are the ones I found. -Bilstien b14. -BC racing br series. -MTS technik coilovers. -Megan racing coilovers. -FK AK street coilovers. If anyone can assist. Thank you.

I have a 2014 Abarth 500 and my full beams don't seem to work. The bulbs do illuminate when turned on and the light comes on the dash, but they don't light up the road at all, it makes no difference to when my dipped beam is on. Is there a fix for this or are the just crap?
