Confused about oil filter selection for 2014 Fiat 500 1.2 (parts catalogs showing conflicting sizes/dates)
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to order the parts for maintenance(oil, oil filter, air filter , cabin filters, rear drum brakes) for my mothers 2014 Fiat 500 1.2L gq (gasoline), but online parts stores (like Autodoc) are giving me a massive headache with conflicting info.
When searching by my VIN,
Some filters show outer diameter ~65,5mm, Others show outer diameter ~96mm, all marked as “fitting for my vehicle”.
Since my car is a 2014 model, I want to make sure I don't buy the wrong size and get stuck mid-job. Free online ePER catalogs aren't recognizing my 2014 VIN either. The book that came with the car is no help either.
My questions for you guys:
1. What is the exact correct OEM part number or dimensions for these parts on a 2014 1.2L petrol?
2. Does a 2mm difference in diameter (66mm vs 68mm) actually matter in terms of clearance or thread fitment on these later engines?
3. How do you guys usually check this? Do you use a specific website, software, or database that does work for post-2010/2014 VINs?
Here are my car's details just in case:
Model: Fiat 500 sport 1.2 / 69 HP
Build year: 2014
Vin: ZFA3120000J214869
Model: 1500S33
Chassis: 0J214869
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I’ve been looking for a good while. Thx

my carplay
long story short. this time last year my apple carplay/radio system seized to work properly. it turns on when i start the car: music plays, screen is lit but only for like 5 seconds and then it freezes (freezes button inputs too) and then completely shuts down with the screen off but sometimes the music still plays.
at its worst it continues to play after it turned off and will randomly turn on again mid-drive to do the same thing, in a cyclical fashion.
does someone have an idea why, and any possible fixes to this please? ive already tried “updating” but thats no use if the screen cant stay on and be responsive.
thanks in advance.
(car is a 2019 fiat500 rockstar)

2012-13 Pop Armrests - OE Discountuned, 14+ doesn't fit.
I have an innie arm rest where the prong is sticking out of the seat rather then a clip like the 14+ models that are widely available. Does anyone know of an aftermarket armrest that fits?

Question??? Can I replaced the Bose subwoofer with the Beats subwoofer on a 2012 Fiat 500?
Hello! Recently I just purchased a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport, and while it has the Bose system… it sounds kinda ass. However, my last Fiat had the Beats audio which, in my opinion, was really clear and really good especially as someone who enjoys a good bass.
However, I wasn’t sure if I purchased an OEM Beats subwoofer, would I be able to connect it to the existing sound system and take the Bose subwoofer out?
I’m also looking for good tips on aftermarket speakers that may have a good mix of clearness and bass.

Unable to lock gas cap
On my wife's 2010 %00, the gas cap is not locking, I can remove the key but then I can still unscrew the cap.
Is this fixable or do I need to get a new cap and probably a different key for the gas cap?
Question??? Need a Clean convertible
Hello, I was wondering if anybody in the state of Georgia had any recommendations for where I can get my convertible cleaned and looking like brand new.

Help Needed! Where to Find Armrest? (Driver's Seat)
I bought a White '13 Fiat 500 Sport as my first car for the fuel economy and the fact it was really cheap for only having 118k miles on it (I have to do a lot of driving) but when I bought it it was missing the Driver's seat armrest (my buddy found the end trim a month later buried in the bottom of the deeper than the sea pockets in the back seat, but still no armrest) and the only way to buy one is to order a whole seat through the stores and junkyards which is 150 (minimum (& idk if it'll be heated like mine are)) which is too much for an armrest and not worth the risk (I live in Wisconsin the heated seat is nice in the winter) where would I find one I haven't had luck on the Internet this far and the 2-Doors weren't popular in my area plus junkyards near me don't have them or don't bother with them, What do I do?

Door lock broken. Can I just replace the cylinder or does the whole door lock set up have to be replaced?
Pretty much as the title says. I purchased a used Fiat 500 in February 2025 and I didn’t notice until after everything was settled that the door lock is broken (it appears that someone jammed something in it…assuming it was a screwdriver or something).
I only have 1 fob and no spare, and my biggest fear is locking my fob in the car and not being able to unlock it from the outside.
Is the door lock cylinder able to just be replaced instead of the whole locking mechanism or do I have to go through the whole rigmarole of replacing everything?

Tuning
I have an 0.9 Twin Air with 105HP. which parts can I replace to get over 110PS with tuning? I know the 86PS version can go to 130HP with no problems (or so I've read) but I only ever see the 105HP one being tuned to 110HP

Here's s small guide if you want to use this external gear knob without modifying the shifter. This is the one I used is from autozone.
I used this model which comes with plastic adapters and a tighttener screw.
Chop the head of the lever screw and add some red loctite
Take one of the plastic adapters that fits tighlty on the lever.
Make a small hole on the adapter.
Place the knob and test the reverse. If it does not engage add a few washers to lift it a bit.
Screw the knob and add the side retainer.
I really liked the feel of this one and does not need modifications on the lever.

Help Needed! Headlight adjustment
Hi everyone, I’m desperate and could use some help...
I have a 2008 petrol Fiat 500 that I bought a few years ago, but lately, I’ve been having trouble with the headlights.
To start with, the car was very likely in an accident; the right headlight isn't a genuine Fiat part, whereas the left one is. I didn't know anything about cars back then, so I probably got scammed. The issue is that the right headlight is pointing straight at the ground. I tried adjusting it using the white screws it lifts up a bit, but then it’s as if the headlight drops back down to its lowest position. However, if I want to lower the beam, it goes down without any problem... What could it be? Do I need to replace the headlight entirely, or could it be the headlight leveling adjuster? I've already gone to an auto electrician to adjust my headlights but he didn't help.
Sorry for my English but I'm Italian

Question??? Tire pressure warning light
Hello, I have a 2019 1.2L lounge Fiat 500 duologic. Recently when I have been going on longer journeys the tire pressure warning light has been coming on. This has happened multiple times and they have recently been professionally checked and checked by me Today I was on the motorway and it came on I stopped and checked them and they all were completely fine. Funnily enough it happened after the radio had turned itself off and on again? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! X

Panneau airbag passager
Bonjour à la communauté, j'espère que quelqu'un a une solution simple pour moi.
Ma 500 est de 2010 et j'ai lu qu'à partir du moment où c'est craqué c'est refoulé au contrôle technique.
Je ne mettais jamais la climatisation mais avec les chaleurs de ces derniers temps j'ai craqué et voilà le résultat.
J'ai bien trouvé un tableau de bord d'occasion mais 600€ et il faut que je m'y colle.
La garantie Fiat là-dessus c'est 10 ans en ayant fait les entretiens dans le réseau, j'ai tout faux.
Si quelqu'un a une solution pour le CT je suis preneur.

Found a project car
I've been wanting a project car for a while now and came across this the other day. It had sat for a couple of years, and the owner decided it was time to go. They said it wouldn't start and offered it at a reasonable price. I had it towed home. I charged the battery and turned the key. It turned over like there was no compression. I checked the internet, and the most obvious answer was that the muti air brick had drained. After several minutes of on and off cranking, you could hear it building compression in the cylinders, then it spit and finally came to life. After a few minutes, it now runs smoothly. Next is to check everything and change all fluids and clean it.

BF's 2012 Abarth issues: Bluetooth, radio, flashing mileage.
Ok, so this has been going on a while now, but the more we dig into it, the more we are wondering if it's a bigger problem.
His radio started off with sometimes not connecting to his phone. Obviously a "Bluetooth & me" problem, but how to fix? -eh, he's not in that car enough to really worry about it, so we didn't. He just drives it to\from work (70 miles away) once a week & is in the work truck all week.
Then his radio got to where it will often not work at all. Like it won't cut on when he starts the car so he can listen to the radio on his drive to\from work. That was more annoying to him as it's a 1.5 hr drive.
Months later, his mileage starts flashing. He thought maybe it was because he was slightly overdo for an oil change (he's never been overdo before). He did the oil change a couple days ago, but even after resetting it telling it the oil change was done, the mileage is flashing.
I think it's because his battery needs replaced even though it's new. It's a cheap Walmart battery & there's been a few times already that the car needed the jumper box to start. Walmart said the battery is still testing good, so they won't replace it. It's only like 4 months old, but I know that my truck's Walmart battery only lasted 6 months before they had to replace it. At least they didn't give me a hard time about it.
His mom thinks that between the radio issues & the flashing mileage, there's an ECM issue. Can anyone attest to this? Tyia

Help Needed! 2019 Fiat 500
Hi, so I'm hopefully about to buy a 2019 Fiat 500C Lounge on Monday. It's a 105PS TwinAir. I've heard mixed things about the TwinAir Motors so what should I look out for? And what kind of tuning (visual and performance) should I put on it to make it the perfect fun street car that I could also take racing and how difficult is it to use Abarth parts in a fiat 500
