What are signs my Fiat drivetrain is damaged?

Your Fiat 500 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Fiat 500 differential service?

Can you reset your 500’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
