Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my latest video! Granted, this is niche content, and won't appeal to the majority of my audience, but I wanted to document the journey of 'Bella' my FIAT Seicento Sporting. HOUSEKEEPING NOTE: One thing I should have said in the video is that it's always best to remove one ignition lead at a time to avoid mixing them up, which I'm pretty sure I ended up doing this video...D'oh!

Thanks for the vid Aaron, I've just bought a 2001 SX, it was an older driver (1 owner) car with just under 24k miles, i love it, drives so sweetly! Had 18 stamps in the service book too.. Yours looks nice, the orange trim looks good and that steel grey suits the car🙌👍

I owned a 1998/9 Seicento Abarth, with the same 1.1 Sporting engine, but despite servicing it, it would get up to a certain temperature then cut out, then you'd have to wait 15-20 minutes before it would re-start - really annoying in city centre traffic. I traced this to the crank position sensor (CPS) which on these is bolted directly to the engine block; as this heats up, the resistance of the CPS rises until the ECU can no longer read it! I tried all manner of things - 3 new CPS, air ducting, painting it silver, etc, etc., but could never solve the problem, so I sold the car. I preferred the 1997 Cinquecento I had prior to that - 899cc, twice as economical, and not much slower in real world conditions!

Hey buddy, I suspect previous fitter didn't lube rubber seal on spin on filter, that makes them hard to undo😳😳 The air filter looked fitted by the same bod😳😳😳 I used to drive a few 500 (Cinquecento) Sporting(s) rung the speed out of them. Sadly there weren't many tune up parts back then (late 1990s), Abarth brand hadn't been heard of for years at that time - only Middle Barton Garage provided parts for early 500s. I'm a sucker for Fiat's, 500s, 600s, Coupés, Barchettas💜💜

Yeah, I suspect the filter was overtightened as well... Thanks for watching!

As it so happens, there isn't a turbo kit you can get for the Seicento, it would need to be a custom build. Thanks for watching brother!
