PLEASE NOTE: When disconnecting the battery, always start with the NEGATIVE battery terminal, then the POSITIVE battery terminal. When reconnecting the battery terminals, always start with the POSITIVE battery terminal, then the NEGATIVE battery terminal.

Great video. Really appreciate the clarity and completeness of your descriptions. Tools and parts list helps tremendously. Thank you. Great work. Super helpful
I can’t thank you enough for this. I was about to spend god know how much at the dealership and blow through my much needed stimulus money just to get my wife’s car back on the road. After seeing this I am going to do it myself and save a ton of money. I appreciate it.
Thanks to this video I was able to replace all the mounts! Just a note: I was able to remove the torque mount without removing the O2 sensor, but consider the fact you'll have less space to operate in case you'll go this way, but yes it's doable. If you do I''ll suggest to use a special wrench for those sensors to avoid stripping. Also I ended up stripping the flanged nuts holding midpipe/downpipe and I had to use a break bar to remove 'em plus a tool for stripped nuts/bolts. Pretty common to have serious oxidation in that spot, so consider to have those bolts at hand just in case, they are M8x1.25 Hex Flange Lock Nut, mopar part number is 6104716AA but any flanged M8x1.25 of serious grade will do, in my case I burned the nuts in oil to enhance the rust proofing. Thanks again Bryan, these videos are gold!
Excellent video. Made me think I was a competent mechanic in my own driveway. I had problems locating the inserts locally. Wish they were easier to find for a same day job.
Bryan replaced all three of my mounts in my '13 Abarth. Got my smooth acceleration back since the engine was no longer lurching around in the engine compartment. (FIAT service couldn't figure out why the ill performance.)
Paul Dille Bryan’s legit and a huge asset to the Fiat community. And you gotta love the no-nonsense vids. No shitty music, no drone shots, but rather, clear instructions. Props to his wife for the camera work!
First of all thank you for such a useful video, 26:42 about powerflex inert, is it nacessery or better to install this inserts on both sides on gearbox mount ? or just 1 from right side is enough
Great videos really makes my life easier and appreciate the effort in making them. Just a point though on the rear mount mine is a 2009 model and doesn’t have the male torx bolts it’s just 19mm as a result you don’t need to take off the exhaust if you just remove the little triangle bracket and you can get it all out together it’s just 2 18mm bolts.
When should one start to consider replacing these mounts? What symptoms should I look out for? I was considering the torque arm inserts. Thinking maybe I just replace all the mounts. I got a '15 abarth with about 60k on the clock.
It really depends. When you start feeling vibration when accelerating or you feel a clunk when braking, it might be your mounts. At 60k, you are probably fine unless you drive it spiritedly on a normal basis. The most common one to fail is the torque arm, followed by the passenger side.
To test motor mounts, I use what I call "The Eye Test". You pop the hood and have someone stand off to one side (absolutely NOT in front of the car), but where they can see the engine. Start the car, stand hard on the brakes, then for an automatic, in drive, ease it up to 1200 rpms... for a manual (it's harder) get it to about 1000 rpms and dump the clutch in first (all while standing hard on the brake). If their eyes get big, the motor mounts are bad.
My passenger side bolts on the motor feel SO tight all the way out. Scared I’m going to break them. Engines supported as yours is. Any recommendations?
Hi , im own one 500x 1.4 multiair, my mechanic say the cause why my car shaking is the partially collapse of the engine mount but why when is cold i feel this vibration everywhere inside the cabin and when is warming up don't shake anymore but i can earn small noise on the engine ?? Thank you 😊
If the rubber portion in the mount is torn or broken down then yes you should. However, you can prolong having to replace that mount by simply adding the insert
88k judders in reverse or full steering lock iv been told its my engine mount that's why I'm here mine is up there as far as stade 2 tuning goes turns out it was one of the first 700 abarth conversions done at fiat in 2010 basically a uk mk1 abarth the only abarth badge is on the bonnet and steering wheel the rest says 500s, unexpectedly came like that from auction £2500 I was quiet lucky with that I guess the juddering and lack of abarth badges put pepole off also the intercooler is big hisses no leak though I can't convince myself to sell it its that good. I drive audi d3 a8 4.2 , s3 8l it goes faster than them for half the price in fuel
Been an aircraft mechanic for 30 years (I fix cars or anything mechanical as well). Don't know how guys can work with gloves on.

Best Abarth vids out there!
Thank you!

Excellent video. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in making this!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Detailed step by step.
No mention of torque specs on any bolts.
Also no blue loctide used at all. Wondering
great video, and nice video close up followed a good explanation, thank you
I have a pop and this was PERFECT!!! THANK YOU! You made it so much easier for me!! ❤❤
Very helpful instructions and a good presentation thank you

What issues were you having?? I'm having some shaking under load at 40-45 mph
Beautiful Construction and presentation
Got all of mine done. Thank you for this

are the f500c gonna be the same to do maintenance on the motor mount
s?
Thx again for the video!!
Q: what’s the torque for the bolts????
I really enjoy these videos. Thanks for putting them together for us. :-)
Awesome video! I'll put this on my to do list, any torque recommendations for any of the mounts?
Great video
This is awesome, thank you for posting. I do find myself wondering what that blue ring terminal from the ground terminal went to, though.
You installed a yellow plastic torque arm part! what is it called and where can it be purchased?
Powerflex Torque Arm Insert. It’s available to purchase on our website

Thanks for the video. Question, when will the engine mount package be back in stock?
Available now!
I will like first, and watch after. :-)
My passenger side bolts on the motor feel SO tight all the way out. Scared I’m going to break them. Engines supported as yours is. Any recommendations?
Great video thx!!!!
Would it be the same for a 2012 Fiat 500 pop?
Mechanic wants like $800 to do it…..
It’s actually easier! Just did mine with this video!!
@@3EyedTigerCustoms
I’m waiting on the parts…..
Excellent video! I have a 500L 2014. Is this the same procedure for my Fiat? And same parts? Mine has a manual transmission as well.
Gerardo Melendez 500L is easier but the mounts are different
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Do you know the parts number? Has been hard to find them.
Moparonlineparts.com
Great video one question my wife has a fiat 500L 2013 does it have the same mounts ??
No they are different
Ngen are the GOAT
Never mind!!!!
I just saw that it is the same for the 500 pop
😃
Great video! I got this!!
great video where do you get the extra stopper for the bottom , tongue strut mount ? the one you added to part that was yellow, thanks
On our website. We offer it in both Powerflex and neu-f
Quick questions here, is it better to change all 3 mounts at the same time? Can I replace torque arm only?
Charlie Yu either way is fine. Yes you can just replace the torque arm by itself
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance thank you so much
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance thanks man I hade same question
Do these also fit the 2014 500L? They look the same, but I'm unsure. Given the cost of replacing all 3, I'd like to be sure before purchasing.
No they are different. You can email us for the correct mounts to purchase
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Thanks for the quick reply.
Thx for this!
What is the torque for the bolts on the passenger side's mount? Thanks!!
Where can I buy these? Can't find them anywhere

is there a point to replace the torque arm if the insert is being used to fill the voids?
If the rubber portion in the mount is torn or broken down then yes you should. However, you can prolong having to replace that mount by simply adding the insert
Do these parts work for a 2014 fiat 500L trekking
No they are different
Can you post the torque specs for each mount please ?

No torque specs/wrench? Or thread locker?

A abarth 1.4 tjet engine fits i a normal fiat 500 1.2 right?
Not sure. We only have the 1.4 Multiair in the states
Look like you forgot to attach that little blue ground wire when you reattached the ground wire to the ECU.
Has anyone used the DNA engine mounts? More specifically the “street” version
I am confused.
I was taught always REMOVE negative terminal first.
Which, when reassembling, means to put back positive terminal first.
Yes you are correct. We removed the negative terminal first but when installing, we installed the negative terminal back first (which is incorrect). We have put a note in our description as well as left a pinned comment at the top.
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Thanks for your reply :)
Amazing! Watch out Scotty Kilmer!
Thanks! Should I start wearing shades and wave my arms around? That guy is basically in my backyard ;)
