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.

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 my 500X malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 500X’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.
