Hi Fiat family, this is my very first topic to start. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I bought my 500c 3 months ago (used) at 50,000 kms mileage.
The Duologic transmission started playing up, won't take my gears n stay in neutral. Guess what! Gears stopped responding on my birthday (yesterday) on the most busiest street of Melbourne
So I did take it to the Fiat dealer n this is what they send me in an email
.........................................
Following is the information from Zagame Automotive Group, Richmond VIC 3121 Australia (Fiat Dealer)
"We checked and investigated to find the gear selector actuator failed and leaked out lost pressure etc.
To remove and replace the gear selector actuator is $5990.00 supplied and fitted.
Please note the part is already at trade price."
.........................................
I'm not sure if the dealer is telling me the truth.
Ok so it's a BLOODY EXPENSIVE PART!!!! it's like half of what I paid for this car.
I love my car more than anything (except for my MacBook).
Here in Australian there are not much fiat users hence its very very very difficult to find someone like a local mechanic to fix this.
Guys I need HELP!!!! your FIAT BROTHER from AUSTRALIA needs HELP!
I have seen some other members having similar problems but I didn't quite understand the solution to it.
Please provide me with some kind of solution where I don't have to spend AU $6000.
Any response are appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Love from Australia.
