Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Boost Issues driving me mad
« Last post by Shauntaylor3436 on March 16, 2024, 08:25:09 AM »
Hi all, I have a beautiful 2012 abarth 500 which drives like a dream...till 3 weeks ago where I lost boost pressure. Looked under the bonnet and found a split pipe which I repaired. The boost gauge is still not going up and the engine sounds deeper with less pops and bangs. Took it to a turbo specialist who did all the smoke tests and readings and they found no issues,  still the boost seems restricted and doesn't go above 0.6 / 0.7. At a loss what to do now , any ideas?

Hi all.

I'm Andy from Oldham.

I've recently bought another Abarth, a 2017 595 Trofeo, after previously owning a Grande Punto.

I'm looking forward to hopefully getting to some meets this year.

Hi to all,
I’m really excited to have joined the club and looking forward to asking a few questions on here in the future.

But for now just to introduce myself my name is Paul and I have owned a blue 2018 Abarth 595 Turismo for 3 weeks!  I absolutely love the car and at 57 I wish I’d have bought one earlier!

Pic of car attached.

Sending my best. Paul

Thinking of buying some Brembo Calipers for my Fiat Abarth 595 2017.
Can I use these with my existing discs or will I need to replace the discs as well?
Thanks

Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Re: Abarth 500 Bulbs
« Last post by slayaz on October 12, 2023, 05:01:49 PM »
So I read somewhere today that ALL aftermarket LED light swaps will fail an MOT.

Quote
“Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible.”


Found it https://www.passmefast.co.uk/resources/driving-advice/led-headlights#:~:text=Will%20LED%20headlights%20pass%20an%20MOT%3F&text=However%2C%20retrofitted%20LED%20headlights%20are,it%20was%20a%20grey%20area).

Thanks
