f*****g Fiats

[Fraz]

having worked with lancia's ...I can tel you that 85% of all problems brought in was due to an electrical fault , great engines and drive train.....just wish they would let someone else do the wiring

and Ferrari ain't much better ...anything Italian has rubbish electrics

the Amish are probably better at electrics than the Italians

[splinter]

We used to have them at work, untill they started to go wrong all the time.. now we dont have any.. lol

i dont understand how people manage to get them going wrong all the time unless they arent servicing them

even electricaly, these days there arent too many problems. the last really bad fiat for electrics was the tipo and old Croma. the early bravos and bravas were patchy too tbh, but apart from that, teh electrics have been relatively ok on Fiat models.

the most recent fiat group model with electric issues was the alfa 156 with the selespeed gearbox...avoid that at all costs

in general though, nobody i know (and i know alot of people with fiats) has any more bother than any other cars have.

they are a pain in the arse to work on though, thats one thing i will say about fiats, you need a swear box handy, everything is odd sizes and inaccsessible
