These are the most frequent Fiat problems we diagnose and repair at our South Salt Lake shop. Every job starts with a thorough diagnosis so you know exactly what's going on before any work begins.
The Fiat 500's MultiAir intake system uses oil-hydraulic valve control that can develop actuator failures causing rough running and power loss.
Fiat 500 Abarth turbo engines develop oil feed line coking from heat cycling. This restricts oil flow to the turbo bearing, eventually causing turbo failure.
The Fiat 500L uses a dual-clutch automated manual that develops clutch actuator failures causing jerky shifting. We service and repair these transmissions.
Utah's temperature swings, mountain roads, and high altitude put unique demands on your vehicle. Here's what we've learned from years of servicing Fiats in the Salt Lake Valley.
Fiat 500 Abarth turbocharged engines need oil changes every 4,000 miles with quality full synthetic. The small turbo generates extreme heat that degrades oil faster than larger engines.
Fiat MultiAir systems require specific oil (0W-40 European formula). Using conventional oil causes the hydraulic valve actuators to malfunction.
Fiat 500 electric power steering motors fail in cold Utah winters. If steering becomes stiff when cold, have the system checked before the motor burns out completely.
We can. Fiat 500 engines are relatively straightforward 4-cylinder designs, and the Abarth turbo system is similar to many other small turbo engines we service. Parts availability is good through standard suppliers. We're not intimidated by European or uncommon brands.
The Fiat 500 has a below-average reliability record, primarily due to the MultiAir intake system, electrical issues, and clutch actuator problems on dual-clutch models. However, with proactive maintenance and prompt repairs, they can be fun, reliable daily drivers.
Some oil consumption is expected on turbocharged engines, but excessive consumption on the Abarth often indicates a coked turbo oil feed line restricting return flow. We inspect the turbo system, clean or replace the feed line, and verify proper oil flow to extend turbo life.
Our shop in South Salt Lake is centrally located in the valley — most customers are within 15 minutes. We service Fiat drivers from throughout the greater Salt Lake area.
