LED dome light issue

I've seen a few posts of people having issues with led dome lights but no real answers other than to not use them. Oddly enough though many people use...
 

Yeah, I'd say they break easily. My neighbor got in my car and the passenger side made an ominous groan. Like you, I don't use the rests but the dog sometimes...
 

Are they difficult to swap out? I don’t see where the connection is done - does the padding have to be removed from the seats? Any side airbags to...
 

Texanbrit: You're exactly right!
I pulled it apart today and the overflow hose is sticky and moist.
Everything else looked to be buttoned...

I believe the Alfa coil packs only work on a Turbo, and Abarth vehicles....
 

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...
 

Cheers from CO!

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.

First off, what brands of bearings are you using? Even a couple of the name brands have been noted to fail (front and rear) on the Fiat. Are you sourcing...
 

Ah, I've missed you Ted. Yeah, $145 is MSRP (dealer price). Around $16 to replace each unit. That's why people don't go to the dealer until they've checked...
 

OK, so you guys say Turbo coils won't work on the non-turbo. We know Alfa coils work on the turbo car... but they also work on the N/A models?

Go with Alfa coil pacs, expensive but smooth acceleration without hesitation = worth the price

      Yes. Drove manual several decades ago and could not remember.

      Thanks all for the great advice!

        You have to remember that the low gear ratio makes it very difficult for the car to roll without being pushed with serious effort or towed. Reverse is even taller than 1st.

          Do this. Don't put the car in reverse if facing downhill or in first if you are facing uphill. It is not a good practice to have the engine turn backwards. That is probably different than the 1930s.
