How does Fiat drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Fiat drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Fiat 500X? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Fiat 500X differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a 500X’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 500X can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the 500X check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 500X?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your 500X, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my 500X transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 500X includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 500X forward.

Your 500X drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

Care for your 2018 Fiat 500X to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Fiat's recommendations.
