cannot duplicate id88
Love500 excellent
Batt light dash all cars alternator
lamda sensors are not the issues for not starting,lamda sensors job is to control fuel/air ratio and generally comes active after the car warms
هل قمت ببرمجة مفتاح مع جهاز تحكم عن بعد لسيارة الفيات ؟؟
heat
This one was certainly a challenge!
Avoid those split sensor sockets. They will slip and round off a tight sensor every time. You should have just cut the wires flush with the sensor and used a 1/2 inch drive 6 point deep socket. Also, the sensor won't affect starting as it doesn't really function until the engine warms up and goes into closed loop.
I agree on sensor , o2. Not impacting start
If you're doing this. why you wouldn't clone an original style flip key with remote functions is beyond me. They are like $15 on Ebay and would help sell the car.
I've never had someone who wants two remote keys and the car doesn't come with two remote keys anyway.
@@carsalvage101 They come with two remote keys when new, at least in the U.S. I mean, don't both a husband and wife wan't to have the convenience of the remote key if this is a family car used by both?
Ahhh so in the UK it's a remote and a standard key as a backup.
@@carsalvage101 Good heavens, that's pretty cheap of them.
i did the alternator on my 500 in the summer ,an absolute biatch to do lol
Miracles do happen though my 2013 Lounge version wuith 87k on the clock only went and passed the Mot all it needed was handbrake adjustment total including mot cost £100 all done , so yeah I may sell it if anyones interest a yellow 500 everything al good , I want to get a bigger car as i have health issues and yeah a 500 is no good as i live in a rural area , A Volvo i want probably S40 or similar
Great looking little car, I have the same colour on a 19 plate and just had to have a new slave & master cyl on the clutch which was creaking. Yesterday I had a cambelt/water pump. I also recently put on 4 new Avon ZV7's and had a service. I'm too old and riddled with Arthritis to be able to work on my car any longer so it's cost me over £1200 in the last 6 months but I absolutely love these little cars and hopefully done spending for a while ( famous last words 🤣) Really enjoyed the video and looking forward to hearing how you get on with the coolant problem.
You should be okay storm wise - we have it really bad in west wales currently (7th dec 11:30) but it should calm down before it gets to you. Hope this car stops causing you issues soon 🤞🤞
Really nice looking car with the new alloys and the funky seats.
9.50 Hi great videos,If when your trying to remove lambda sensors ,your able to run the engine and get it warm ,then stop the engine and try and remove the sensor ,I found it helped.
I just disconnected the battery left it for 3 minutes then connect it back up the milage stopped flashing
Result!
I’m on my third Fiat 500 as I love them so much a silver diesel then second a white 500 lounge ….I’ve now got a red 2014 lounge Fiat 500 around three years ago….I loved the colour until you mentioned about the red ones also recently my mileage is flashing and the Bluetooth needs repairing but at the moment I’ve bought a Bluetooth that fits in the cigarette lighter port but now I’m wanting to change my car for a different colour. 😫😫😫
Decided what you want next then for your 500?
In my country this would be 2 min video. 😅
I found on the cowling if you cut the bit out the cowling which is easier it is actually quite a firm fit and stays in place once bolted in front - added one to my sport and had not trouble saves making that hole in the top of the dash
That was the other way I thought about. Probably your way would have been a little easier :)
The cowling is really great looking.
Thank you.
if you edited out everytime you say " Yeah " the video would be about 10minutes long haha
😂😂😂
Thank you.
The new cowling looks great, good job, the airbag removal I found to be a pain I think you do the left side release first then the right side. That car must have been through a nasty accident for that amount of damage, not pleasant.
Once I had the right tool, the airbag was very easy. I've done a video. It's definitely had some very large through the window. I can see why it got written off as a brand new Speedo, clock spring etc from Fiat would be into the 1000s.
The grey 500 one on the road the bonnet looks set up to high , gaps look wrong ,dont know uf you finished with it
Bonnet hasn't latched that's all :)
Parking sensors on a car that’s a size of a shoe box if you need parking sensors on a car this size don’t drive !!!
It is a little strange:)
Cleaning agents can slowly tear the car seat covers.
By itself or when scrubbing?
@@carsalvage101 Not when scrubbing but by corrosive substances in the cleaning agent or you need a product that can clean without these substances.
The road looks so much better with your Fiat 500's all over the place - better than seeing the usual ugly SUV's and pretend off road vehicles that blight the landscape .... sounds like the light is fading haha yeah I can defo hear that too !!
Although not sure what the neighbours think with 5 cars parked at the address that's for sure :)
Was wondering how you would sort the dash Alex, thats a good idea.
On a cheap car, it was really the only option to be honest. Can't keep throwing money at something to be totally perfect, especially as it will get hidden away.
Also I liked a longer video, your running commentary was funny 😂 I don’t think they had enough mats in that car 🤣
It's not for everyone and some will say it's waffle ;)
@ true, well I liked it anyway, I actually sniggered out loud when you were saying how dark the dark chocolate was 🤣🤣
@sarahfrith1984 people miss these fine details in their videos :)
Those seats were pretty grim!
Always are!
Did I just see you disconnect the airbags with the battery still connected? It’s much easier disconnecting the seat plugs kneeling outside the car and removing bolts then tipping the seat backwards to unplug them.
Battery always disconnected for that. Have no fear. I was working in a confined space at the time, meaning sitting outside was very difficult as door wasn't fully open. Two many cars on the drive :)
Hiya buddy on Ebay they sell remote keys with un cut blade for £25 just type Fiat 500 remote key and it comes up the first one all you need to do then is get the blade cut and it programed hope this helps m8
You then need to get someone to programme the key to the car. Remote ones are around £120 per key.
Bmw
Nope, sorry.
That car was enough money with that mileage on it thought
True, a non cat car with that mileage is £2.5k I reckon.
Hi - would you mind telling me who you got to program the key please? Im looking to do the same thing
Where do you live?
@carsalvage101 east London
Easy: DON'T!
Not that bad providing they are looked after well
Very very very BORING 😢
Thank you.
Excruciating waiting for the words to come out ……
Thanks
I would seriously recommend wearing gloves when going through a salvage car
Noted. Normally I do and certainly for the cleaning purposes I do. Especially around glass.
Thats been a delivery car, deliveroo or evri etc, driver obviously didn't value there life as much as jumping in and out hence using a seatbelt plug 😞
That's entirely possible actually. No real reason to have your seatbelt off all the time.
get love500 to do you key
We have the same key equipment but he can't do remote keys. Hopefully I've sorted it.
A bargain at that price.
Hopefully it's not a money pit :)
Mate 😂 your a glutton for punishment I work at Copart and out management knows the cars we selling are dodgy 😂 some are Cat B and are never meant to be sold but we still do it , I'm only on here as guilt conscience , My advice would be buy off an eBay auction it would be safer for you as a trader , Also your buying like the most unreliable car ever made a Fiat 500 😂 no wonder your not earning a crust 😱
You are talking shite
@@MrBigman007 what a load of cobblers. Where do you think the eBay cars come from?
@@Love500 i would never buy from ebay,copart is most reliable because "pure sale " are mostly insurance owned and its much cheaper,ebay is mostly customers buying from copart anyway...
Appreciate the comment. Whilst I question some practices of Copart, ultimately you take a gamble and it can pay off, or not.
@@Love500 Private sellers
No flashing mileage 🙌🏻
Ha!!! Praise the lord! :)
Another cambelt good selling point 7 years on. Easily sold am sure. Obviously needs rear beam and sump checking.
Yeh cambelt would be good selling point on high mileage, think you are right Alex.
Someone doesn’t like wearing a seatbelt so plugs it in to stop the seatbelt buzzer.
Good point actually!
Not seat belt as it's from outside in , probably a branch or brick
@@rickwilliams1505 we’re talking about the buckle in the little compartment 😃
Guy on fb well known road tax martin can tax anything £50 on top of tax
I've heard of him before. All sorted now.
You should be able to use the car. Can tax it and insure it without the v5 if my memory serves me correctly. I would let the dvla know who’s using the car to cover your back. Clearly you’ve made contact with police. Again you could contact them to notify who’s using the car.
You can tax it with the v62 as long as it mot and insured
Only when it shows in trade.
@Love500 try it, I taxed one couple weeks ago, private sale lost log book. Filled v62 in took it post office they stamped it and taxed it there and then 👍
You can tax a car without anything for £40
bugger .... there was something dodgy about this car from the start I remember saying is this s drug dealers car ? there were weird things in the boot and the car looked like it was abused by the previous owner
