The connection at that side of the radiator is pretty solid, so if it's not the radiator itself then I imagine the coolant is running down the lower coolant...

Hello all, I recently acquired '13 Abarth and decided to join the forum.
I owned in the 90's a Fiat 126p and now the Abarth.
Thanks for all...
 

There is no light for low coolant, so you need to keep an eye on it. A light means an overheat, and that is something you do not want to do.

    Angry Abarth

    While checking the Facebook Fiat USA page I stumbled across this picture.



    While this is only Photoshop, it makes me wonder if Fiat has missed a great opportunity to give some attitude to the Abarth. Don;t get me wrong, I love the good boy face of the 500, but Abarths should be feared


    Maybe 500 Madness will end up making a Kit for it....

      As a side note - it looks like Fiat have addressed the common F/A500 screen wiper issue by getting the technician to put the passenger wiper arm against his knee and giving it a 'tweak'.

      Thats a serious crank in the arm...almost looks like its a RHD arm on a LHD car!

        That's how all N/A fiats look like, the passenger side wiper arm has an angle on it, not really sure why.

                        This could be achieved in a few ways. You could actually weld aluminum to the hood to create this effect. This is done on vw/audi's. An easier less expensive way is to either use a vinyl or paint to give the look over the headlight. A final way, which would have to be done by a manufacturer would be to make a fiberglass eyelid that is paintable and attaches to the light itself. If Fiat would bring over the sequential abarth, I would show you.
