We bought one for £80 last November. Our last two cars had centre armrests and my wife missed having one. I fitted it, dead simple and good fit. Is it worth the money, depends how useful it is to you, I would say it is as my wife likes it and it does what its suposed to do. It seems that its well thought out and to some extent that is part of what you are paying for, we like it.

My issue with a switch is the pump is an inductive motor. When the power is cut off, the pump motor will do what any inductor will do. Resist the change of current causing voltage to spike to a very high level. So you need a flyback diode on it, if it doesnt have one built in. To test, connect a oscope to the power then cut power to tye pump. Observe the voltage jump. Or turn the stereo on and see if it pops the speakers. The large voltage spike (EMP), couples onto the speaker wires, casuing the pop.

Excellent review. Never even considered the hand brake situation!

Thanks! I’ve been using it for over a month now and I stand by what’s said in the video. You do have to adjust the way you buckle up and operate the hand brake however comfort level outweighs this for me.

Thank you my friend , just saved me hours found it broken just by passenger seat under trim

Glad it was helpful and I hope you can resolve the issue quickly before the damp environment causes the electrical issues encountered here.

Great video. Really enjoyed it keep it going! I've not got a abarth, but I have a comp engine and dash etc that will be going into a classic mini.

Thanks! Trying it certainly paves the way for appreciating the professionals! I hope you post about your project as that sounds incredible. There is loads of information on the Abarth pages on the socials. The T-jet engine is versatile and can have a lot extra added to increase the power without uprating the clutch and gearbox etc.

It's not currents it is amperes (amps) the best way to wire a kill switch is pick it up under the dash, a fuel pump would draw a maximum of about four to six amps. Use a decent switch preferably a push pull switch as they are usually rated at twenty five amps and have a smaller mounting hole making it easier to fit under the dash. Use some 4 or 5 mm square automotive cable to make the connection. I prefer to solder the joins as this will prevent overheating the connection. I have fitted hundreds over my time as an auto electrician.

Thanks for the pointers Richard. Good to note about soldering the connections for better heat dissipation. What are your thoughts on wiring up a switch to the fuel pump VS the from the ignition?

Hello, sorry to bother, for those of us that can’t solder, would you think a suitably rated wago block would be ok?

@Henry.Riccato-Smith 4 ай бұрын

@@tconners1758 Richard can confirm but I would imagine so - using a wago would make it slightly more difficult to hide.

@tconners1758 4 ай бұрын

@@Henry.Riccato-SmithI think I’m going to remove the rear door cards and access the wiring there as opposed to directly above the fuel pump, that way the wagos will be behind the door card and unable to be seen. Thankfully. Cheers for the response. 🙏🏻

Current is measured in amps. It's okay to use then interchangeably. If you had to use only one, you would use current, so you are consistent. You would never call an inductor a Henry, or a capacitor a Farad.

Oh god this sounds awful! Hopefully it's sorted now. Had my abarth for about 4 weeks now. How would you go about checking it?

I am happy to report that the replacement BCM unit fixed all my problems and the new wash pipe is holding up strong. Regarding checking for any leaks from this pipe, you would first notice a slightly damp carpet in the left side of the car (both EU & US spec). To visually check, start by getting your head up under the dash with a torch and spot that corrugated hose and then follow it along - if you have someone who can hold the rear washer jet on while inspecting. That would be even better 👍 If you’re having abnormal and inconsistent electrical issues, I strongly suspect it would be the BCM unit. Something permanent may be linked to a split cable in the loom…my rear sidelight was out and the actual wire had snapped! Happy motoring 😎

Does anyone know where to buy a corrugated hose repair kit?
