Fiat 500 1.2 FULL Service - Oil Air Cabin Filter Spark Plugs - 2007-2021 169A4.000

[@chrisiden]

Thanks for confirming that changing the cabin air filter is an absolute pig of a job on right hand drive models. 👍🏻

[@IAMASPANNER]

Honestly, I thought they couldn’t keep getting worse than a Nissan Juke but they just keep surprising me! This was unbelievable, I started to look on the passenger side thinking this can’t be real!

[@chookvalve]

I have been told the same- I think I will remove the filter and not replace it. After all it only stops dust. Who cares!

[@GrahamReid34]

[@davidbest1]

They’re piss easy to do if you just buzz out the 17mm pinch bolt and wriggle the steering shaft off. Everyone at the dealer I work at does it this way

[@victorbarrera5883]

quality video, easy to follow nice one 👌

[@dominic77999]

the air filter bolts are a stupid size if I remember (5mm?). Also, the breather pipe under the airbox needs to be disconnected otherwise you will snap the nipple off, like I did :(

[@sk8er-dad]

Many thanks ,my wife have 2020 Fiat 500 this is great tip! I can save money 💰 to do by myself ✌🏻

[@latara508]

where is the fuel filter?

[@sergiikalyushko3158]

Thank you very much

[@robcig]

That spin on oil filter was easy. Try changing the oil filter on an Abarth. What a pain!

[@jfarnsworth74]

My oil filter is a canister oil filter that is on the top on my 2016 Abarth.

[@Alan-N]

Quality video, thank you 👍🇬🇧

[@twoshedsjackson6478]

Did you record the audio by ringing-in from a public phone box in Brazil?

[@IAMASPANNER]

They have good rates and I really wanted to try something new. In all seriousness for some reason if I forget to “optimise” the sound when editing it doesn’t seem to work very well.

[@user-dj6pk3de8s]

6 vis pour bien fermer le couvercle du filtre à air, et avoir finalement un simple manchon amboité à l'entrée des pipes d'admission, c'est risible. Sur ma Uno on ouvrait le filtre à air avec 2 clips en 2 secondes ça suffisait bein

[@04poppop]

There is video on youtube where oil filter is changed from top, its fiat 500 too.

[@DPbuilds]

Any tips on getting lead off as mine is completely stuck on two of the spark plugs, tried pulling out with plyers and no luck

[@pjrebordao]

I can't remember any other car where to change the air filter you have screws to undo !

[@maxiliarydendrite8926]

mercedes c class you have cancer star screws whic you need a speical driver for

Nice video mate! One question, since I'm going to do same maintenance in a forda Ka, did you find any washer after oil drain plug?

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Simow, I can’t actually remember and I didn’t realise you can’t tell in the video, sorry.

[@simowtata2414]

@@IAMASPANNER no problem, your video is however awesome. I did it and no gasket, just the plug👍

[@Nick-ol9ko]

Hi, what does the breather hose do ? Mine broke of. Is there an easy fix for the plastic piece on the air box ? The air box itself is quite expensive.

[@IAMASPANNER]

The breather hose vents crankcase gases, it won’t cause you any issues even if you leave it as long as dirt cannot get into the engine or air box.

[@Law_Abiding_Citizen_ok]

Araldite or JB Weld to fix broken plastic pipe back on or any other bit of 1/4” pipe if plastic bit is no good. Common fault that will be covered if you Google it.

[@22cheddar]

is it necceseary to put oil into the oil filtre before putting it on? it says on my box

[@pete9501]

Side on filter, you will only make a real mess if you try.

[@mattavalon]

Hi great video. Which grade oil on a 78k 2009 1.2? I was told 5w30 would be ok Thanks

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Matt, we put Dexos 2 5w30 in this car, most cars are fine with it.

[@mattavalon]

@@IAMASPANNER thanks Tolly! I phoned the garage who serviced it before I bought her. They used a 5w30 so will keep to that. Thanks for help

[@mattavalon]

@@IAMASPANNER is dexos 2 ok for 2009 year?

[@IAMASPANNER]

@@mattavalon Hi Matt, Dexos 2 will be fine for this engine.

[@snapshot8006]

Wish the 1.4 oil filter was like the 1.2..

[@oberdansassi6821]

Hi, Is it possible to reset the service with OBD? Do you know some chip device? Thanks

[@IAMASPANNER]

Yes, I think some of the sub £100 Autel can do it but I’m not sure exactly which ones.

[@derf9465]

Do you not check your Plug gaps prior to fitting?

[@gregshearer423]

Come pre gapped have done for years now it would probably be good practice to check but no one does

[@hllcyln]

Do 1.2s have fuel filter? Thanks!

[@IAMASPANNER]

Petrols don’t have a serviceable fuel filter.

[@Chico1203]

23Nm is ok for sparks?

[@IAMASPANNER]

That’s the highest I’ve seen written on the box, they’ll either have a torque rating or angle tightening spec.

[@tadhgoshaughnessy6612]

Hi great video I'm looking for the small tube that connects to the back of the air box .the smaller one.what is that tube called .cheers thanks

[@IAMASPANNER]

Is it the rocker cover breather pipe?

[@NomadJRG]

Great video, really useful! Any idea where the fuel filter is located?

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thank you. On a petrol they tend to only have a filter on the lift pump in the fuel tank.

[@s-gaming8003]

what oil do u use 5w*30 or 40 ?

[@IAMASPANNER]

Dexos 2 rated 5w30 in almost everything.

[@Songbird.9591]

Never Known a Mechanic wear a Watch while Working on a car Service 🤔

[@derf9465]

Why do we Fiat owners have to change plugs this often? Ngk's last a very long time.

[@Develin_ixi]

Thank you, the Mrs. has been nagging for a while. The cabin filter is always a bitch on all cars, luckily it's a left hand drive model.

[@MLWALK3R]

Engine mounts are gone on that thing 😂

[@cgavin1]

Can't believe they don't put a £5 piece of plastic on the underneath to slow down the inevitable rot. Edit: Also dude please start wearing latex gloves when dealing with oil. Cancer is not funny.

[@IAMASPANNER]

They’re just sold to last a few years on lease aren’t they, nothing is built to last anymore. Agreed, I do try to wear gloves but they split very quickly.

[@mattrehm8612]

Don't use latex gloves, they aren't strong enough. Buy a box of heavy duty Nitrile orange disposable workshop gloves. They look and feel the same as latex but are far stronger.

[@rlmross]

Thanks for the vid. what the actual fuck is this though from fiat.... worse than working on body, brakes or engine and its just a service item!

[@IAMASPANNER]

They make the cars left hand drive then we have to struggle with RHD ones
