Hi is it possible to disconnect the blue & me module without removing it ? Thank you
@carsalvage1017 күн бұрын
Yes. You can keep everything in place but remove screws from the trim.....then basically reach in behind the quarter panel trim and just disconnect it.

Fix it again Tony lol and yeah I'm selling my 2013 Lounge I'm fitting new Shocks discs and pads to mine will get £2 grand for it and then will buy my old car again a 2007 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1 as trust me the Colts are indestructible timing chain engine on them and the last one i had was still running perfect at near 140 thousand miles , the 500s are a pretty car but they always seem to explode for some strange reason ? lol

At £1,350 Alex, even putting another £700 into it for an engine swap there’s still a £1,000 profit in that car if it’s that nice and unrecorded. I’d have stuck with it and done the engine swap myself..would make good content to..👍🏻

They are not worth much sadly as ive got a 2013 Lounge with 86k on the clock service history in a rare Yellow the same as the Abarth version and i can only get £2 grand for mine and it has had new Exhaust , New Gearbox and Clutch , a full service and new handbrake cable and soon to have new front shocks and discs and pads , ive put in £1500 over the 1 year ive owned it and ive had enough now as there is a saying all that glitters is not Gold! These cars look beautiful but underneath they are mutton , Next car i will buy will be my old car i had a few years back a 2007 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1 timing chain engine so nothing to go wrong and they can take abuse as Japanese and good thing is most Colts are under a grand and will go a damn lot faster than the 1.2 500 i have

@ I think the yellow is a bit of an acquired taste if I’m honest. I hope you sell your car for good money and buy what you want.👍🏻. I think once the 500’s hit above 70-80k miles the value does drop a bit.

Only good thing il say about the 1.2 engine is it starts first time even in -10c as last night i had to rush out for an emergency to help a friend and my 500 2013 lounge started first time , I do want to sell it though as the ride quality is very bad , Is it always bad on these ? As mine had an Mot not long ago and they said the shocks and springs are ok ? But every time i hit the smallest hole its like very harsh

faults on the tail gates are divided between 3 faults and 1. the handle switch , fault, 2 the lock itself have micro switches in them that fail and lastly the common one is a break in the wires on the top of the tail gate. Look for the colour of wire at the handle find it at the top and do a continuity test between the 2 points putting a pin into the wire to make a connection at the top and bottom. Don't get to disheartened these faults are sent to test us. I had an intermittent fault on an Audi A3 ABS wiring took me ages to find the break in the wiring to the wheel. Find it and fixing it gives you a moment of euphoria!

It’s a long way from where it was registered SN is Edinburgh Scotland. I have a 64 plate 500s registered September with paint issues on the tailgate like yours, also the upper drivers door edge has worn through to gray.
@carsalvage10127 күн бұрын
That is a long way from home. Can you live with the paint defects or will you get them sorted?
@rodneyhutchinson149527 күн бұрын
I think I might get them sorted in spring. I removed the rear handle and light assembly, underneath it I found the paint had cracked and was flaking right in line with the edge of the handle also at the outer edge of the handle. So I have temporary touched the paint up with zinc paint, blue touch up (mines Electronica Blue). I cleaned up the edge of the handle, sprayed it with waxyol and put back. So that should be ok till spring. It looks like the paint has not adhered properly to the galvanised metal. Given it’s over 10 years old we can’t expect too much.

Hi, my 2008 fiat 500's usb port is not working properly. At first it wouldn't charge, it wouldn't play music, I couldn't connect my phone via bt, and the odometer started flickering. I disconnected the battery (-) 20-30 min, and after the odometer stopped flickering and I could connect the phone and it was charging, after a few seconds of connection (no music playing, and not detecting aux in settings) the odometer was flickering again (and the usb light bulb went out.) What to do? Is it a blue&me system problem? Should I replace the usb port?
