VF AUTO: YOUR FIAT SPECIALIST

​

Modern and classic Fiat vehicles require very different approaches.

​

At VF Auto, we can work with the electronic and turbocharged systems in a 500 Abarth or 500X as well as the traditional mechanical systems found in a classic 124 Spider, X1/9 or Fiat 500.

​

MODERN FIAT PROBLEMS WE DIAGNOSE

​

MultiAir engines

​

Many recent Fiat vehicles use MultiAir technology, an electro-hydraulic intake-valve-control system that depends heavily on correct engine-oil pressure and condition.

​

Problems can cause:

• Check engine lights

• Misfires

• Rough running

• Hard starting

• Reduced power

• Oil-pressure or valve-control faults

 

FCA has published diagnostic and software updates addressing several conditions on 1.4L MultiAir engines.

​

Correct oil specification and regular oil changes are especially important.

​

500 Abarth and 1.4L turbo engines

​

Reduced boost does not automatically mean the turbocharger has failed.

​

The concern may involve intake leakage, wastegate operation, an actuator, diverter valve, sensor, MultiAir system or the turbocharger itself.

​

We test the system before replacing expensive components.

​

500X nine-speed transmission

​

Certain Fiat 500X models use a sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission.

​

Harsh shifting, hesitation or delayed engagement can sometimes involve adaptation values, software, fluid condition, sensors or control systems rather than a failed transmission.

​

We analyze fault codes and operating data before recommending major repairs.

Modern 124 Spider

​

The later Fiat 124 Spider combines a 1.4L MultiAir turbo engine with rear-wheel drive.

​

We can service and diagnose its engine, turbocharger, cooling system, manual or automatic transmission, clutch, differential, suspension, brakes and electrical systems.

​

Battery and electronic concerns

​

A weak battery can cause multiple warnings on a modern Fiat.

​

We test the battery, charging system, grounds and electrical supplies before replacing control modules.

​

Fiat 500e

​

The modern 500e uses a high-voltage battery, electric motor, inverter, DC/DC converter and onboard charging system.

​

A charging problem or electric-system warning does not automatically mean the high-voltage battery requires replacement.

​

The problem may instead involve the 12-volt battery, onboard charger, DC/DC converter, cooling system, electronics or high-voltage wiring.

​

CLASSIC FIAT SERVICE

​

Classic Fiat vehicles are mechanically simpler than modern cars, but proper service requires an understanding of traditional automotive systems.

​

124 Sport Spider

​

The classic 124 Spider is one of the best-known collectible Fiat models in North America.

​

Depending on the year, we can work with its Twin Cam engine, carburetion or fuel injection, timing system, cooling, ignition, manual transmission, clutch, driveshaft, differential and brakes.

​

Timing-belt condition is particularly important on Twin Cam engines.

​

X1/9

​

The X1/9 uses a distinctive mid-engine layout.

​

Its long cooling circuit between the engine and front-mounted radiator makes correct bleeding and cooling-system diagnosis particularly important.

​

Classic Fiat 500 and 600

​

Common service areas on earlier Fiat vehicles include carburetion, ignition, fuel delivery, starter and charging systems, electrical connections, clutches and brakes.

​

On a classic car, our goal is often to repair and adjust the existing system rather than unnecessarily replacing original components.

​

Electrical systems and corrosion

​

Poor grounds and oxidized electrical connections can create difficult problems on older Fiats.

​

We can also inspect floors, jacking points, suspension mounting areas, brake lines and other structural areas for corrosion.

​

FIAT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

​

VF Auto can take care of oil and filters, spark plugs and ignition, timing belts, brake fluid, coolant, transmissions, clutches, differentials, brakes, suspension, tires, alignments, batteries, fuel injection, carburetors, classic-car inspections and high-voltage-system diagnostics.

​

We can clearly explain what needs attention now, what should be planned for the near future and what can safely wait.

​

No surprises. No unnecessary repairs. Just what your Fiat actually needs.
