Posts: 98 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0 | getting a 2nd Abarth :-) Hello hopefully getting my 2nd abarth this weekend will be a 3rd. Although i dont think it has any Service History which is worrying Do you think its still worth looking at / going for or stay away? They werent sure if the cambelt had been changed or not (its done 56k) - when are they due for change?? but what else should i look out for? the last one i nievly bought without service history and ive had a few probs with.. (airbag fault) and had to get a full service and cambelt change done (jsut to be sure) and a few issues with drive shaft (get vibration when applying accelaration when driving) and fan motors sticking etc. just dont want the same to happen again! advise guys? :-)

The only thing that matters is what a garage is definitely going to change. Pollen filter change is cheap and not that difficult to do but is something which is very often overlooked in a service - hence the suggestion.
